general problems of the 2003 Ford F-150

Unknown - however there were no warning lights or any other indication of malfunction or to service the truck. I took the truck to an independent service center & they did a full inspection & I did receive an estimate for repairs.

Driving a 2003 Ford F-150, lariat, super crew, going approximately 40 mph and accelerating, on the on-ramp entrance to CA state route 108, from standard road in sonora, CA, on July-3-2019, the wheels locked and their was a loss of steering. The time was approximately 11 am, road was dry, fair skies, no debris or obstacles on roadway. The road was in good condition. One week earlier replaced all tires at big o tires, sonora, CA; the wheel alignment was corrected at that time. The on-ramp was curving normally to the right, providing access to the westward bound traffic lane. When the wheels locked the vehicle spun to right, but turning the steering wheel to left, into the spin had no effect on the spin-out. The pick-up turned 180 degrees, and then rolled down the embankment on the inside of the on-ramp curve, the north-side of the on-ramp. I was injured, ems required I be flown by helicopter to the memorial hospital in modesto, CA. The CA highway patrol investigated the accident, and persumable took a witness statement from the truck driver who was following me as we entered the on-ramp. The witness, who had immediately ran down the embankment to render assistance, said he had never seen anything like it before, the wheel just come off. Being incapacitated from the rollover wreck, I did not get the name of the witness, but the investigating office must have. The accident report is not available as of this report writing.

Trans went out a month after intake crack had to be replace almost $1,650 together also ball joints and tierod ends no good shock no good brake are falling and rear end is grinding this truck should have never been sold help and there's "more".

Drove to our cabin in upper wisconsin and the psf tire the middle of it blow out. It had probable a 4 inch cut from when it blue. The tires are less then a year old with 3,600 miles on them. The tires won't cheap but there junk and this will be the last time I buy good year of any type.

I was traveling 285-west in decatur, GA. , around 3:30 pm eastern time, when I was in a a multi-car accident. I was in the lane closest to the grass, when a Dodge ram four door truck hit my F-150 super crew cab 2003. The driver hit my driver side backdoor, and then he hit me again on the driver side front bumper, and spun me off the road into a wooded area with large trees and a ravine. I then had a head on collision with a large tree. I called on the name jesus three times, then my truck turned 180 degrees and that turned me around going into the ravine backwards. I felt myself come out of my seat with my seat belt on. My bench seat went into recline, then my head went backwards, then forward. My airbag did not deploy. I did research, when I noticed a website called "wekeepitsafe". The database shows 144,000 Ford F-150 2003's recalled for failure of airbag deployment due to a malfunction in the steering wheel column. I called Ford's motor head quarters. The first number was (313)323-9100, then I was transferred to 1-866-436-7332. I spoke with a rep by the name of mel, and he gave me a choice of monetary compensation or a truck. I declined, due to the fact that I was heavily medicated with hydrocodone for head, neck, and shoulder pain. I suffer from excruciating head aches, stabbing pain in my ear, and numbness/tingling/and pain in my back and legs. I have scheduled an appointment with an orthopaedic specialist, because my primary care physician is unable to assist. My case number #cas10200415. I am fond of Ford pickup super crew cabs. I have a picture showing the airbag. And the picture proves that the airbag light indicator shows that it is working, if you look on the right side lower corner other picture by the gear shift. I spoke with mel at 11:24 am eastern time.

The contact owns a 2003 Ford f150. The contact stated that the lug nuts on all four wheels were corroded which prevented the socket and the wrench to remove the lug nuts. The dealer and the manufacturer was notified who offered no other assistance. The failure mileage was 147,000.

Rims are rusting at the bead because water sits in there when it rains. The metal has rusted through and air bubbles occur when water is in there. Three of four rims are "bubbling" from this failure.

While traveling about 50mph on the highway and without prior warning driver side rear wheel fell off.

While driving 55 mph on the interstate rear driver side wheel came off. Driver managed to get vehicle off the road without incident.

The vehicles left front wheel broke while exiting the highway at 45 mph. This caused the vehicle to collapse to the ground and run into a wall.
