I recently bought a 2005 Ford F-150 XL, in the two months that I have had this truck I've had nothing but problems with it. The ignition switch has blown fuses, causing the truck to not start, but sometimes it takes 3-4 turns of the key to get it started, either the engine does nothing or it will hesitate for 5-6 seconds before finally turning over. I am also having problems with the truck stalling. Most commonly the stalling occurs while sitting at a red light but it has stalled while I was moving causing me to lose power steering until I could get the truck started again. The passenger door was off line and wouldn't always shut right causing noise and rain to get in. I was missing screws on the door panels witch caused a constant rattling from both sides of the truck. The doors have been fixed by the service department where I bought the truck, but it is still by no means quite in there, and nobody can permanently fix the engine troubles because they don't know why it's happening. This truck is not a safe and dependable way of transportation for me or my one year old son who is sometimes with me.
