Consumer Description

MY 2008 FORD F-150 IS A PIECE OF?!@#$%. AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR WAS REPLACED AT 24,000 MI AND TODAY IT'S MAKING THE SAME NOISE (SQUEALING WHEN COMPRESSOR KICKS IN) AT 27000 MILES. STARTER MADE A ZIP NOISE PREVIOUSLY WHEN IT WAS COLD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THIS LAST FAILURE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER. THEY HAD TO TAKE THE DASH OUT TO REPLACE THE AIR CONDITIONER PARTS AND NOW IT'S MAKING THE HEATER NOISE AGAIN AND FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS WE'VE SEEN ON THIS VERY WEBSITE, BUT NO RECALL. THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE GAS PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER BECAUSE IT CAUSES ME TO ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHEN BRAKING. THE F-150 EMBLEM CAME UNGLUED ON THE TAILGATE. *TR
