POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS 1999 FORD F150 TRUCK IN JUNE OF 1999, WITHIN IN A FEW MONTHS THE TRUCK WAS REGISTERING MORE MILES THAN I HAD PUT ON THIS TRUCK. I RETURNED TO DEALER AND MADE COMPLAINT. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEN I RETURNED TO DEALER WITH SAME COMPLAINT ON SEVERAL ORTHER TIMES. FINALLY I CALLED THE DMV OFFICE IN WHITEVILLE NC , THEY GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE QUALITY FORD CO. AND THEN QUALITY FORD REPLACED THE ODOMETER IN TRUCK. AT THIS TIME I WAS ALSO COMPLAINING ABOUT TRUCK MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE ALWAYS TOLD ME THIS ON EVERY COMPLIANT I MADE ABOUT THE TRUCK. NOW TODAY 12-4-00 THE TRUCK IS STILL JUMPING MILEAGE , I HAD THE TRUCK IN THE SHOP IN NOVEMBER AND IT WAS THERE FOR TWO WEEKS, I FINALLY PICKED THE TRUCK UP ON 11-28-00 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD DRIVEN THE TRUCK TO FAYETTVILLE NC AND THAT THE TRUCK DID JUMP MILEAGE WITH THE DRIVER AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE ODOMETER AGAIN, AND THAT THEY HAD ORDERED THE ODOMETER AND THAT IT WOULD BE IN ON FRIDAY 12-1-00. I CONTACTED THEM ON MONDAY 12-4-00 AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE TRUCK TO THEM ON THURSDAY 12-7-00 AND THAT THEY WOULD PUT THE ODOMETER IN ON THIS DAY AND REPLACE THE BACK WINDOW WHICH POURS WATER WHEN IT RAINS, BUT THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE MOTOR KNOCKING BECAUSE IT WAS JUST A CHARECTERISTIC OF THE MOTOR AND IT WOULD NOT HURT THE MOTOR. THIS IS NOT WHAT I PAYED FOR . I PAID FOR A NEW TRUCK AND I THINK I GOT A LEMON. I AMM TIRED OF CHANGING THE ODOMETER IN THIS TRUCK. I NEVER KNOW THE REAL MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY JUST PUT WHATEVER THEY THINK SHOULD BE ON TRUCK BACK ON THE ODOMETER. THIS IS NOT RIGHT TO ME. ISN,T IT AGAINST THE LAW TO MESS WITH MILEAGE ON A VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT TO HIRE ME AN ATTORNEY AND GET MY MONEY BACK OUT OF THIS VEHICLE AND GET MY VEHICLE BACK THAT I TRADED IN ON THIS TRUCK ALONG WITH.
