1999 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"A great vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door Ajar light stays on after all doors are shut & even stays on while driving for a couple of minutes.
Molding on the passenger side rear glass is split and leaks when it rains.
Cable that holds spare tire under the bed broke and I lost the spare in the middle of the road, somewhere in Oklahoma.
Power window switch on the passenger side broke and will only roll window down, I can roll it up from the drivers side.
Door locks do not properly work due to the broken actuator on the passenger side, I manually lock and unlock the vehicle.
Heat core went out at 92,000 miles and it had to be replaced, the entire dash had to come out to accomplish this and it cost a little over $300.
General comments?
I would definitely purchase another Ford F-150. Considering the extensive driving that I do and the loads that I sometimes carry it has been a very reliable and efficient vehicle. The things listed above that have gone wrong are relatively minor and most are normal wear and tear problems that occur in vehicles with as many miles as my pickup has on it. This is a vehicle that I recommend to everyone and I will own another in due time.
