POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
VEHICLE EXHIBITS A SHUDDER/VIBRATION/SHAKE WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. PROBLEM IS MORE APPARENT WITH WEIGHT ON THE TRUCK. WITH APPROX. 400-500 LBS. OR MORE PROBLEM IS MOST APPARENT. AT 300 MILES, THE PROBLEM BECAME VERY NOTICEABLE. INFORMED DEALER, SET APPOINTMENT. VEHICLE HAD 800 MILES AT SERVICING, 2/23/2015. DEALER REMOVED REAR DRIVELINE AND DROVE THE TRUCK WITH JUST THE FRONT DRIVELINE AND SHUDDER DID NOT OCCUR. DEALER REPLACED ENTIRE REAR DRIVELINE AND PROBLEM PERSISTS. AFTER 8 DAYS AT THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP, CUSTOMER WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM IS NORMAL, ESPECIALLY WITH ANY TYPE OF LOAD. 400LB IS A LOAD???? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I ATTACH A TOW UNIT TO THIS VEHICLE? IS THIS SAFE? AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING A PROBLEM AND REPLACING THE DRIVELINE, DEALER NOW SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SHOCKS AND COMPUTER. BUT REST ASSURED THIS IS NORMAL. WAITING FOR FORD FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE TO INVESTIGATE. PROBLEM IS DISTURBING AND ONE HAS TO WONDER WHAT THE LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES OF THIS SHUDDER IS TO THE VEHICLE, VEHICLE DRIVELINE, ETC. I WAS TOLD NUMEROUS THINGS BY PEOPLE AT THE DEALER; SALESPERSON SAID IT WAS PROBABLY IN NEED OF A TRANSMISSION REFLASH, SHOP FOREMAN ORIGINALLY SAID MAYBE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH GREASE ON THE DRIVELINE SPLINES. NOW IT'S THE COMPUTER AND THE SHOCKS? I ASKED THE SERVICE MGR. WHY THEY REPLACED THE DRIVELINE IF ITS A NORMAL SITUATION. HE RESPONDED THAT THEY DIDN'T NOTICE THE WEIGHT (400-500LBS UNDER THE TONNEAU COVER) UNTIL AFTER THEY REPLACED THE DRIVELINE. ONE HAS TO WONDER ABOUT DEALER COMPETENCY WHEN THEY APPARENTLY KNOW A PROBLEMS EXIST WITH WEIGHT ON THE TRUCK, YET FAIL TO CHECK FOR WEIGHT ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO, IS THIS NOT SOME SORT OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM? AS OF 3/2/2015, THE TRUCK IS STILL AT THE DEALER. I'VE SPENT LESS THAN ONE WEEK IN THE TRUCK AND OVER ONE WEEK IN A RAM 1500 RENTAL TRUCK. NO NEW CAR JOY HERE. *TR

I WENT TO TURN AROUND OFF OF A PAVED STREET. MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE FEEL INTO THE MUD. I TOLD MY WIFE WE ARE STUCK, THEN PUT MY TRUCK IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, OFF ROAD MODE AND SPORT TRACK MODE ON THE DASH. I PULLED FORWARD ABOUT A FOOT OR SO AND WAS STOPPED BY SOMETHING, I THEN WENT BACKWARDS. I REPEATED THIS FOR ABOUT FIVE TIMES. MY DAUGHTER WAS HYSTERICAL FOR JUST BEING STUCK, I TURNED AND TOLD HER TO CALM DOWN, WHEN I TURNED BACK AROUND I SAW FIRE IN THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR, I TOLD MY FAMILY " IT'S ON FIRE, GET OUT". I OPENED MY DOOR TO GET OUR AND WAS ENGULFED BY FLAMES, I QUICKLY EXITED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I YELLED FOR MY DAUGHTER THREE TIMES, SHE HAD RAN A LONG WAY AWAY FROM THE TRUCK, BECAUSE SHE WAS FRIGHTENED. WHEN I HAD HER IN MY SIGHT I STARTED FILMING. SHE HAD EXITED OUT OVER THE TOP OF MY SON ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. MY SON SAID HE HEARD A SPEWING NOISE WHILE I WAS TELLING MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO CALM DOWN. HE SLUNG MY DAUGHTER OUT WHEN HE SAW ME BECOME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I WAS OFF THE ROAD LESS THAN A MINUTE BEFORE I SAW THE FLAMES, I STARTED FILMING WELL WITHIN TWO MINUTES OF BEING OFF THE ROAD AND MY 2014, RUBY RED, SPECIAL EDITION ONE OF A KIND FORD F150, SVT RAPTOR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES. CAUSE OF FIRE IS UNDETERMINED. *TR

THIS PREVENTED A COLLISION FROM OCCURRING. INCIDENT OCCURRED A SECOND TIME ON 1/22/2015 WHEN VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. TRUCK NARROWLY MISSED ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE TRANSMISSION WAS FORCED BY OPERATOR INTO "PARK". CONTINUING TO APPLY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES AND PUMPING THE BRAKES WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN STOPPING THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

NOW THE REAR WINDOW. ITS AN FX4, 3 SLIDING REAR WINDOWS. THE DEALER AGAIN TOLD ME "A STONE MUST HAVE DONE IT, BECAUSE THEY NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE"?! REALLY?? I PAID $48,000 FOR THIS TRUCK AND HAVE 750 MILES ON IT AND IT IS COSTING ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ALREADY!!! FORD HAS TO REPLACE THIS AND MAKE IT RIGHT OR TRADE MY TRUCK IN WITH A BRAND NEW 1.... *TR
