Consumer Description

MY GENTLY USED 2004 FORD F-150 WITH APPROXIMATELY 63K MILES IS HAVING MOTOR PROBLEMS. THERE IS SEVERE TICKING/KNOCKING OF THE MOTOR FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE IS ALSO A GROSS LOSS OF POWER AND THE GAS MILEAGE HAS IMMENSELY DECREASED. ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY DONE ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS MAINLY DRIVEN ON THE WEEKENDS DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM A NYC COMMUTER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO FORD AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO HELP ME WITHOUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF REPAIR. THIS TRUCK IS GENTLY USED AND WAS CONVEYED TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION & EXCELLENT WORKING ORDER BY FORD AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND FORD REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. UPDATED IVOQ 12/01/10 *TR
