What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Rear end collision. My children were in the rear seat of a f150 ford supercrew when we were rearended. Both the children struck their heads on the rear window glass. They had minor neck sprains and discomfort. The lack of rear seat head rests in a 2001 vehicle contributed to their injury. This lack of proper safety equipment in a new vehicle has been fixed in a midmodel correction by ford. I think they should offer a retrofit for other vehicles in the same model year.
I had a ford f-150 supercrew 2001 that went up in flames in my garage while parked and has not ran for 15-30 minutes. I lost both vehicles in the garage along with the contents in the garage. No offcial word is out on what caused the fire in the truck, but the fire was started by the truck somewhere near the engine compartment.
Truck was parked under the carport when it it caught on fire. This was caused by a fuel leakage; also, consumer's house had caught on fire. The fire department was called to extinguish the fire on the house.
Oil leak at head gasket. Repaired by dealership. What are then chances of this happening again? Has this problem caused any damag to the engine?
The paint on my 2001 f-150 supercrew cab truck is cracking (crows feet) the truck is only 37 month old. Was informed that this is a manufacture defect. Ford refuses to fix the problem.
