POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING A SMOOTH STRETCH OF HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIBRATE. THIS VIBRATION INTENSIFIED UNTIL THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING. AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE SHUDDERING CONTINUED UNTIL I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED AROUND IN A PARKING LOT TO GO BACK TO A NEARBY FORD DEALER. AT THIS POINT IT DID NOT SHAKE AGAIN. THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECKED THE WHOLE TRUCK OVER THE NEXT DAY AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING LOOSE OR DAMAGED. THE SHUDDERING FELT LIKE A UNIVERSAL JOINT GONE BAD. THERE HAS BEEN NO REPEAT OF THIS SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SHUDDER WHILE MAKING TURNS FROM A STANDSTILL. MY LOCAL MECHANIC PUT AN ADDITIVE IN THE DIFFERENTIAL AND THIS SEEMS TO HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MAY BE RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL VIBRATION. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
2004 FORD F-150 FX4 STALLS WHILE DRIVING; IT IS AS IF THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER WORKS. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR FOUR DAYS AND STATE THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY STATE THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWS THAT IT WAS RUN ON "LEAN FUEL", HOWEVER IT HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. RUNS OKAY DURING TEST DRIVING BY DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, STALLING PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN. 8JB

TIRES
2004 FORD F150 HAS TIRE NIBBLE BETWEEN 50 AND 57 MPH AND VIBRATION AT 45 MPH. SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED 3 RIMS AND 3 TIRES (CONTRACK). STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I PLACED THE SPARE TIRE ON PASSENGER FRONT DUE TO A FLAT AND IT REDUCED THE NIBBLE AND VIBRATION BY HALF. I PURCHASED 4 NEW 20 INCH COOPER TIRES AND 4 NEW RIMS AND VIBRATION IS 95% GONE AND SLIGHT NIBBLE AFTER 10,000 MILES. I WILL HAVE TIRES REBALANCED AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND PLAN THE HAVE REAR LOWERED BY 2 INCHES. A FRIEND HAD THE REAR LOWERED BY 2 INCHES ON HIS 2004 F150 AND HELPED WITH STABILITY AND VIBRATION. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE OWNED A 2004 FORD F-150 FX4 WITH ONLY 14,000 MILES ON IT FOR 3 WEEKS AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT FORD FOR 4 DAYS NOW AND THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. TRUCK MAKES A RATTLING NOISE FROM UNDER FRONT END WHEN PULLING A HILL OR WHEN YOU REACH 50 MPH. IT ALSO SEEMS TO LOSE POWER OR "BOG DOWN" MOMENTARILY WHEN IT SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. MECHANIC SAYS IT IS A "NIGHTMARE" BECAUSE THEY CAN HEAR THE NOISE AND FEEL THE GEAR SHIFTING PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T FIND WHAT'S WRONG AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. WE HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THIS TRUCK WAS A FORD BUY BACK AND WE ARE THE 3RD, POSSIBLY 4TH, OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE, (STILL INVESTIGATING). WE ARE WONDERING WHY THIS TRUCK HAS CHANGED HANDS SO MANY TIMES WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WE WILL BE RETURNING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND GETTING OUR 2003 EXPEDITION BACK, WHICH HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, AND WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT AGAIN, CAUSING US TO TRADE IT IN...WE'LL BE BACK TO SQUARE ONE!!! THANKS FORD! BY THE WAY, THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY 2 INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH FORD PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICE. I WROTE A DETAILED LETTER TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY CONCERNING ANOTHER VEHICLE I HAD PURCHASED FROM THEM SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I STATED THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND ALSO ABOUT THE POOR SERVICE I RECEIVED FROM THEIR COMPANY...OF COURSE I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. I COULD GO ON FOREVER. SIX YEARS AND 7 FORD PRODUCTS LATER, I MAY HAVE FINALLY LEARNED MY LESSON. SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SWITCHING TO THE "OTHER GUYS" FOR A VEHICLE. *JB

EQUIPMENT, STEERING:LINKAGES
I HAVE A FORD REGENCY F-150 WITH A FACTORY 6 INCH LIFT DONE BY REGENCY. WHEN THE LIFT WAS DONE THE STEERING LINKAGE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE LINE SO WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED A HOLE WAS WORN IN THE BRAKE LINE CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE. I TALKED TO REGENCY AND RICK SAID IT WAS THE SECOND HE HAD HEARD OF. MINE IS BEING FIXED NOW BUT ANYONE ELSE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE VEHICLES IS AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. I AM REPORTING THIS IN THE HOPES NO ONE IS HURT UNNECESSARILY. *NM

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE), EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY 2004 F150 FX4. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT BOTH LINCOLN/MERCURY AND FORD DEALERS HERE IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA. PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SO I'M NOT MAKING THIS STUFF UP AND THE DEALERSHIPS KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG, BUT DOES NOT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR DOES NOT HAVE QUALIFIED/TRAINED MECHANICS. THIS WILL BE MY ONE AND ONLY FORD. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
1) MY TRUCK WILL STILL OUT WHEN COASTING TO RED LIGHTS OR WHEN IDLING. 2) WHEN THE TRUCK STALLS, I LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS, YESTERDAY IT DIED OUT RIGHT ON TOP OF SOME RAILROAD TRACKS AND WAS GIVING ME TROUBLE TRYING TO RESTART. IT WOULD SAY "LOW OIL PRESSURE" ON START UP, HOWEVER THAT'S BECAUSE THE RPM'S WEREN'T HIGH ENOUGH TO CREATE ENOUGH OIL PRESSURE. IT WILL THEN GO INTO ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE. 3) THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND TO REFLASH THE PCM. HOWEVER I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE REPAIRS YET BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD THEM. *JB
