POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN ASK WHAT PART FAILED. THEY WERE JUST CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY!!! WHILE DRIVING UP MY DRIVEWAY, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY SLAMMED INTO 4X4 LOW RANGE. THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE RPM'S TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY AND BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO AN ALMOST SUDDEN STOP. THIS WAS A SUDDEN FAILURE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF IT HAD OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. *AK

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTABLE TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT IS A HAZARD BECAUSE MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK HALF THE TIME,AND WHEN THEY DO NOT WORK, THE WINDOWS WILL NOT ROLL DOWN SO THEREFORE I CAN NOT SEE WHEN IT RAINS. THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THE DEDUCTABLE.
