TRANS WENT OUT A MONTH AFTER INTAKE CRACK HAD TO BE REPLACE ALMOST $1,650 TOGETHER ALSO BALL JOINTS AND TIEROD ENDS NO GOOD SHOCK NO GOOD BRAKE ARE FALLING AND REAR END IS GRINDING THIS TRUCK SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD HELP AND THERE'S "MORE".
MY FORD F 150 FRAME AND SPRING HOLDERS ARE RUSTING BAD, I'M AFRAID THE SPRINGS MAY FALL OFF OR THE FRAME MAY BREAK WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. THE BODY OF THE TRUCK HAS NO RUST, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND ONLY HAVE 62,000 MILES ON IT. JUST WONDERING IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IM HAVING WITH MY FRAME AND WHAT MY OPPTIONS ARE. *TR
TRAVELING AT 40MPH. HIT AT THE FRONT RIGHT FENDER. SHEARING OFF TIRE AT BALL JOINTS... CAUSING TRUCK TO SLAM DOWN ON THE GROUND AND SLIDE AT LEAST 75 FEET ON THE FRAME.. NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED. I WAS INJURED AND THINK IF THE AIRBAG WOULD HAVE COME OUT MAYBE MY INJURIES WOULDN'T HAVE OCCURRED. *TR
THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURANCE THAT I HAVE HAD A OIL SEAL OR GASKET ON THE ENGINE AFTER DRIVING 80 +MILE PER HOUR. I HAD MY TRUCK LESS THAN THREE YEARS. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED IT VIBRATE WHEN REACHING THE SPEED MENTIONED. *NM
THE VEHICLE SHOOK TO THE POINT THAT IT BECAME HARD TO CONTROL IT. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON FIVE OCCASIONS, AND DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER OFFERED CONSUMER ADDITIONAL WARRANTY.*AK
CONSUMER STATES THAT VEHICLE MAKES A VERY LOUD "WHINING" NOISE WHEN DRIVING. SOUNDS AS IF DRIVING AN 18-WHEELER TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED BY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR CORRECT PROBLEM.*AK
