Consumer Description

THE TRUCK HAS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW CAUSING THE TRUCK TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY BETWEEN 52 AND 67 MPH. THE DEALER GRAHAM FORD IN DICKSON LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AND WILL ONLY REPAIR THE TRUCK IF I BUY THE SERVICE KIT AND PAY LABOR. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT AND THAT THEY HAD TO BUY BACK A TRUCK THEY SOLD NEW ON ONE OCCASION. FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND EVEN SUPPLIED THIS DEALER A KIT WHILE UNDER DEVELOPMENT TO SEE IF FIXED THIS PROBLEM. THIS VIBRATION CAUSES THE TRUCK TO BECOM DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVE IN THE ABOUT SPEED RANGES.
