VIN check for me as well, please + Concise 2004 problem list
VIN:1FTPX14504NA27990 - Thank you!
Explanation:
Well I looked at my door frame sticker today and see that it was built in 08/03 so it is definately suspect for the faulty tamp sensor. When did the F-150's first start coming off the line? So now that I know how early it was built I guess I should start thinking about all the problems that have been reported for them. I had not thought about them earlier because I pretty much bought my truck in Jan of this year.
Bad temp sensor - got it
Bed shake - no
Hood shake - no
Warped windshield - Not that I've noticed from the driver's seat
Recirc. Button - I'm not sure what the details of this problem are, but I have noticed mine on once when I didn't turn it on
Steering Wheel Vibration - No
On the three coldest mornings since I bought my truck, when I started it, there was a strange whining noise for about 2 seconds coming from under the hood which tne went away and all was normal. Something frozen that you can think of? Other than this and the temp sensor, I have had no problems so far. I figure I should probably Have the VIN checked though just to get a specific build date and (hopefully not) problem history with the truck.
Anything I forgot that people have heard of on more than one truck? Please only respond with problems and no stories of perfect trucks. I am simply trying to compile a CONCISE list of problems that can be quickly viewed by people searching for all reported problems.

Sorry, I see that someone else just started an All Problems thread here earlier so we may not need two. Also, cancel the VIN check request, I figured out how to do it here at work. Thanks.
