NHTSA Complaint #723584 — 1997 FORD F-150

REAR WINDOW HAS A LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SLIDING WINDOW THAT HAS BEEN SENT BACK TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIME FOR REPAIRS. ITS ON OING ! THE WINDOW HAS BEEN REPLACED W/ FRAME THREE TIMES , BUT THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN SHOP SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO AND AFTER THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. IT WOULD LAST A SHORT TIME AND WOULD THEN START LEAKING ALL OVER AGAIN. ** PRESENTLY STILL LEAKING **. # 2 . ENGINE HAS A KNOCK DURING START UP. SOUNDS MORE LIKE A DIESEL ! BOTH ISSUES HAVE BEEN PRESENT SINCE 14,000 MILES OR SO. THIS TRUCK HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS. TO MENTION A FEW ; REAR BUMPER RUSTING OUT, DOOR & SHIFT NOBS BREAKING , BODY PAINT PEELING, RATTLE IN FLOOR GEAR SHIFT ( STILL PRESENT ), ** NOW THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT WORKING **. I LIKE THE TRUCK, BUT WOULD RATHER HAVE ONE WITH OUT ALL THE PROBLEMS !
