2)Both inside of front door panels turning yellow
3)Front end squeaks( Dealer has fixed 3 times and counting
4)loud rattle by the back driver side door. Dealer cannot find
Truck only has 15,000 miles on it.
If anybody has had the same problems and had success on repairs please let me know.
Thanks

First I've heard of anyone with this problem..

>2)Both inside of front door panels

Again, I've never heard of anyone with this problem.

>3)Front end squeaks( Dealer has fixed

Several folks have reported this and got this fixed.. I thought there were Ford TSB's that are out there to correct this.. Something to do with the front suspension..

Sounds like the cab mounts which several folks have reported this problem and had it fixed. There are few TSB's on this type of problem.
One talking about the cab mounts in particular, and another that described how dealers should isolate sounds via the use of 'chassis ears'. (A device that sortof trianglates the source of a pop/clunk/rattle.)

Just wondering if you're talking about the painted area of the door where it touches the black rubber molding just above the hinges or the plastic door panel it's self? I have a white truck and I got the yellowing right away. Ford has a TSB on this problem. It calls for repainted the area and installing new rubber molding.

I haven't met one 4x4 owner who doesn't have squeaking front springs. Ford should be able to fix that too.

 

Also check your front sway bar bushings. These have been the cause of some squeaks. BTW I also have the yellow racing stripes.
