Consumer Description

I HAVE AN 2004 FORD F-150 SUPERCAB 4X4. A FEW DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, IT DEVELOPED A SLIPPING / SHUDDERING PROBLEM IN THE REAR END WHEN YOU STARTED FROM A STOP AND WHILE TURNING. SUNSTATE FORD SAID THAT THE SLIP YOKE HAD NO LUBRICATION. SO THEY LUBED IT. WITHIN 2 DAYS THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED. THE SHUDDERING HAPPENS HOT OR COLD BUT BECOMES WORSE THE MORE THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN. WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO SUNSTATE FORD TO LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT AGAIN, THEY SAY THE PROBLEM IS NORMAL. I OWNED ALOT OF TRUCKS IN MY LIFE AND NOT 1 OF THEM DID THIS. FROM TALKING TO ONE OF THE SERVICE EMPLOYEES I LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ADDITIONAL INFO: TRUCK HAS 4.6L ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND A 3.73 LIMITED SLIP REAR AXLE. *AK
