Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY FORD-F 150 DIRECTLY FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 30 MILES IN AUGUST 2005. BY NOVEMBER 2005, WE BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH CONCERNS OF THE TRANNY SLIPPING. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, AND WE WENT HOME. WITH-IN 1 YR. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER WINDOWS, AND WITH-IN 2 YRS, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT COMPLETELY. LUCKILY IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND WAS REPLACED. WE HAVE REPLACED EVERY PIECE IN THAT TRUCK AT LEAST ONCE AND SOME SEVERAL TIMES. AND THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. LAST MONTH THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN. WE PAID $2700. TO ONLY BRING IT HOME, AND IMMEDIATELY IT WENT OUT AGAIN. THE MECHANIC IS BAFFLED. HE HAS BEEN TRYING FOR 4 WEEKS TO FIX IT, AND HAS NOW THROWN IN THE TOWEL. HERE I HAVE A GORGEOUS TRUCK, WITH A HUGE PAYMENT, AND IT'S A PIECE OF JUNK. WE HAVE MAINTAINED EVERYTHING SO PRECISELY, NEVER TOWED, NEVER LONG TRIPS, AND HAVE HAD ALL THE UP KEEP NEEDED FOR THIS TRUCK TO LAST, SO OUR SON COULD TAKE OVER WHEN HE IS OF AGE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! *TR
