2007 Ford F-150 super cab built in dearborn. Passenger side/right side of windshield wiper cowl rubbing on hood and can not be adjusted. Upon further investigation noticed passenger side/right side of front bumper forward 1/2 inch when compared to left. The area where the hood and passenger fender join the cab has been mis-welded 1/4" at the factory according to the dealership. Upon further research I have noticed several other vehicles of this model and 2007-2008 years both have similar issue, thought not as noticeable as my vehicle. Some are in tolerance and may be adjusted according to the dealership, some are out of tolerance (as in my case) and since can not be adjusted will be purchased back by the manufacturer.

Broken hood release. Many other people I've talked to had same problem with their '97 & '98 f150's. There is a recall on this for Ford SUV's, why not the f150? I was charged $173. 46 for this to be corrected. The service advisor told me that he had just had another latch failure prior to my call to set up an appointment.
