F-150

  • 86,000 miles
What isn't wrong with this truck? with less than 80,000 miles on it...spare tire fell off while being driven, interior lights randomly stay on, both doors are rusting out from the bottom, knob to regulate temperature fell off and assembly needed replacement, front brakes calipers stuck and caught on fire, exhaust system has rusted off twice, transmission went up and was replaced under warranty at less than 20,000 miles, radiator rusted through, and the headliner is falling down off the ceiling. I've probably missed something but can tell you that I will never own another Ford.

F-150 6-cyl Diesel

  • Manual transmission
  • 66,398 miles
We have a 1998 Ford F150 that was purchased in 2001 equipped with anti-lock brakes. Yesterday they locked up prematurely while driving on the highway. It started with a burning metal smell & started to shake & vibrate. We couldn't go over 40 mph. It's quite fortunate that there was an auto repair shop on a nearby corner where we stopped, and discovered that the break pads were fine; however, the passenger side caliper was locked up.
