Consumer Description

OFFICIALLY LOGGING A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 F150 DRIVELINE. IT HAS DONE THIS TO THE POINT OF TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT DUE TO WEAR ON THE SHAFT. THE DRIVESHAFT IS NOT SERVICEABLE AT ALL AND WAS NEVER LUBED FROM THE FACTORY CAUSING BINDING ON THE SLIP YOKES WHICH IN TURN CAUSES SWING BEARING WEAR, U JOINT FAILURE AND TO THE POINT OF TRANSMISSION STUB SHAFT WEAR ULTIMATELY CAUSING FAILURE. THERE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THESE DUE TO THE SEVERITY AND LIABILITY. WE OWNED THE TRUCK NEW AND HAVE DRIVEN WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. I HOPE TO SEE A RECALL SOON AS TSBS ARE NO HELP TO THE CUSTOMER AND MOST DEALERS DO NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THESE PARTS ARE UNSERVICEABLE. AS A LIFE LONG CUSTOMER, THUMBS DOWN ON FORD TO ALLOW THIS TO GO ON. *TR
