I have a 1998 f150 lariat with door rust on the lower inside panal along the seam. I was told by Ford tha they would have to open the seam to clean and repair it .They also told me that the rust was a commen problem with ford but havent been able to identify the problem or to correct it properly. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HAD SAME TYPE OF RUST PROBLEM?

 

I have not had this problem, however, a number of people have on here. Some have taken their trucks in to have this fixed...some have even been fortunate to have their entire doors replaced. It depends on the dealer.

I have the same problem with reust and also Door crack. The dealers around me basically told me that there hands were tied and they could do no repairs, Unless I wanted to fork over some cash. Although, even with the cracks and rust, I wouldn't trade it for anything except a new Super Crew.

I also have the door crack and I noticed the rust and bubling before I noticed the crack. I am taking my truck in tomorrow. I bought it used ,with no warrenty. I will fight this until my last breath. THIS IS FORDS FAULT AND THEY SHOULD OWN UP TO IT. ENOUGH SAID !!!!!!!!!!!1

 

my 98 is under warranty the body shop told me they just weld the door crack . doesn't sound right to me but they know more than I do.they are giving me a loaner so thats good i take it in on the 19th of march so i will let you know how it goes

 

I have had the same issue with rust as well as the back window leaking. My dealer said there was nothing they could do. But there should be a recall or something, it's rediculous!
