NHTSA Complaint #10616451 — 1998 FORD XL

THE TRUCK SQUEAKS SO LOUD AT 0 MPH, JUST SHAKE TRUCK SIDE TO SIDE AND IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE. ITS THE FRONT AND REAR END BUSHINGS DUE WITH SOME STEERING PROBLEMS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFEAT AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR ON THIS VEHICLE. NOT SURE ABOUT THE SUSPENSION BUT IT PLAYS A ROLE IN THIS WHOLE PROBLEM.. AS I RESEARCHED RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS IT WAS INFACT A RECALL. I HOPE YOU HONOR YOUR RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH ITS A 1998 MODEL. EVERY FORD FROM THAT YEAR I COME ACROSS HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, BUT MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW SOLD ME THIS TRUCK WHO WAS THE LAST OWNER AND EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE DO THE HONORABLE THING AND FIX THE MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I ASK FOR NO MORE THAN WHAT YALL ACKNOWLEDGE AS A RECALL ON THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. THANK YOU AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM THE MANUFACTURE TO FIX THIS LONG TIME PROBLEM. I'VE INFORMED (PURSUANT TO 49 U.S.C. 30118 (D) OR 30120 (H). ...I'VE SPOKE WITH RECALL MANAGEMENT DIVISION (NVS-215). THIS NOTICE IS SENT TO YOU IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT. *TR
