This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The backing on both drivers and passengers side rear view mirrors is seperating from the glass making it almost imposible to see out of. This is definitetly a manufacture defect.
Both mirrors are pealing, I've lost 90 % of my view. I have the mirrors with the lighted turns signals in them. Ford has used a film like tint on them and they are not holding up. They have gone to a new style mirror on the newer trucks using a regular mirror with the lighted turn signals on the out side. I have contacted brandon Ford about the problem and at this time there is no recall and they won't cover it with my esp plan.
Both side mirrors were "bubbled up" inside the glass (mirror with turn signal inside) to the point that you could not see out of them to safely drive the vehicle. Dealer did agree to replace at "dealer cost" (over $200). The person in the body shop who replaced the mirrors said that it was a factory defect and should be replaced free. Manager would not agree to do this. The new mirrors were of a totally different design to "correct previous flaws". we also own another 1999 Ford F-150 that is developing the same problem with the mirrors. When contacted Ford refused to take responsibility unless "the government issues a recall"
Protective coating of signal mirrors located on doors have deteriorated and caused mirrors to blacken. Dealership has replaced both signal mirrors once already and this problem is occurring again.
