Doors have stress cracks on upper frame, I've paid to have repaired once, when I approached dealer they said O recall on that problem, would not help, now door switches keep interior lights on till it goes off on power saver, door ajar light stays on when moisture condition/rain, snow sleet and so on.

On my 1997 Ford F-150 I noticed that I have cracks on the doors by the windows, while researching this I found this is a common problem on this truck. When I called Ford service center for help they told me to replace the doors (at my cost) and if a recall comes out I would get my money back. I found out about the cracks at "F150online.com" and it seems that Ford has replaced some doors but most (and their are a lot of complaints) are not being taken care of. Can you help?

I have the same problem indicated in service bulletin number: 996754 with my 1997 Ford F150 on the drivers side door only. Even though the crack is not yet visible on the passengers side door removal of the belt moulding will most likely reveal the crack (Ford engineering design fault) is present. I'm the original owner and even the though vehicle is out of warrenty Ford should be held responsible for the full cost of the repairs to fix their engineering problems.
