I purchased a 1999 Ford F150 from kings auto mall near cincinnati. The trucks air bag light was on and I did not know what this meant until after I purchased the truck. I had it in the dealers shop to fix the A/C and have other items looked at. They stated that the air bag light was caused by a faulty air bag switch. This is the switch that turns off the air bag when small children are riding in the passenger seat. The dealership had placed a sticker on the passenger window stating that the truck had been safety checked. But yet I purchased a truck that could have killed my 4 year old if the air bag had went off. The dealership stated that they will only pay for half of the repair for fixing the switch. I don't understand how they could have sold me a truck that had this major issue.

There was no waring or sounds indicating a problem.A/C started blowing hot air, I pulled over and looked under the hood and found the compressor on fire.this could have had a devistating ending had my wife been driving because she would have kept going.this is very upseting to think of what could have happened. This could have very easily ended my family had the truck totally caught on fire with my wife driving with our children.

There is a crack on the driverside door where the widowsill starts to curve. I have had it welded once and it reappeared the same day I got my truck home. The air conditioner smells like mold whenever I use it. It has been worked on five times to correct the problem but it still persists.
