NHTSA Complaint #11338214 — 2012 FORD F-350

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE TO GET ON TO THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING AND RATTLING I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. WHEN I TRIED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES IT WASN'T WORKING THAN THE STEERING LOCKED. I HIT MY EMERGENCY BREAKS PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHT AND TURNED OFF THE CAR UNTIL A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 2/28/2020 AND WHEN I RETURNED TO PICK UP THE TRUCK THE NEXT DAY THEY COULD NOT PRODUCE THE KEYS, THIS TOOK ABOUT 2 WEEKS. ON 04/06/2020 APPROX. 2 WEEKS AFTER PICKING UP THE TRUCK THE IT WOULDN'T START, I JUMPED THE TRUCK AT WHICH TIME THERE WAS A RATTLING AND KNOCKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING. I GOT THE TRUCK BACK AGAIN A LITTLE OVER 2 WEEKS LATER ON 04/23/2020. I FEEL THE TRUCK IS SO UNSAFE THAT IT WILL CAUSE ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT PLACING MY LIFE THAT OF MY FAMILY OR ANOTHER DRIVER IN A SEPARATE VEHICLE AT STAKE. UPON REVIEWING ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS NONE OF THE DOCUMENTS HAVE THE SAME ODOMETER READING AND THE NUMBER IS APPROX. 24000 OFF.
