Consumer Description

FRONT END KNOCKS AT IDLE SPEED. TOOK TO DEALER 3 TIMES THEY SAY IT IS CHARACTERISTIC FOR THIS MAKE & MODEL. CALLED FORD, TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALER AGAIN THAT IS WHEN THEY CALLED IT CHARACTERISTIC. BUT TOLD DEALER & FORD JUST STARTED DOING THIS. BOTH SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO NOTHING, NOISE STILL THERE.
