2000 Ford F150 XLT review from North America

PROBLEMS FOUND AT 75,000 MILES:

1. All 4 tie rods, inners and outers, bad

2. Lower ball joints, bad

3. ABS Codes C1095 and C1096, ECU and HCU Controller and Module Assembly, bad

4. Passenger side door lock actuator, bad

5. Power Steering Pump, bad

6. Passenger side door molding not sealing door, door won't close properly or seal

7. air conditioning warranty replaced back at 30k miles.

Toward the last 400 miles of my FORD version 75K mile extended warranty -bumper-to-bumper- plan, the passenger side power door lock failed and the ABS light turned on. I brought it in to the dealer for an inspection along with some squeaking of the front end (thought it was a tire/rim leak).

All items above were replaced under the purchased extended warranty bumper-to-bumper plan, EXCEPT a kit for the module assembly on the ABS. I will dispute that today, but had to pay for it to get it done.

I am shocked that this much damage was found for a vehicle at only 75k miles proclaimed to be "Built Ford Tough" yet only offering a 36K mile manufacturer warranty. If I did not have the extended warranty, I could only guess the bill to pay for this. I definitely have some opinions, but will keep them to myself for now.
