.there is an electrical problem in the vehicle causing lights to flash on and off door ajar, abs, check engine light the 4x4 flashes, windows wont go up or down, caused the rear wiper to stop working. the door locks wont work! This truck has been a pain in my ass and my pocket book from the moment i drove it off the lot. we also have a f150 of the same year and we have absolutely NO problems at all with it. infact is is the best truck weve ever bought Ford really needs to step up and take care of these problems. Every one that I know with the same vehicle has the same types of problems. I saw the truck, fell in love with it. it looks great. and is alot of fun to drive, itll go anywhere, BUT ONLY when its runnin right wich is VERY RARE! I wish that i would've done a little more research on it before spending so much money on a lemon. i never know what is going to go wrong next! Is anyone going to do anything about this? Ford is a good company, but they really bombed on this one!

Clicking noise in the rear of the vehicle that sounds like a "locking" noise. I had taken the vehicle in previously for this and was told that it was the motor for the rear ac going out and they fixed it (It was still under warranty)... Well the sound is back. and it gets louder when I turn the AC on. (But also does it when the AC is OFF?!)
Another trip to the Ford dealership for a non related repair (shocking)... they told me this time that is was an electrical problem... and it pricey to fix. Funny, I am no longer covered under a warranty now. THANKS FORD.
