This will be the third time advising NHTSA and Ford concerning the same problems stated before.those are the the rear end shuddering upon acceleration, the whining noise from the rear end, the automatic transmission slippage, the whining noise from the power steering unit and last but not least the brakes constant squealing.I have gone to three different Ford service centers in three differeent states.NY, NJ, nc.of all the dealerships svc centers Mahwah Ford in NJ spent the most time investigating these problems.shultz Ford NY and cella Ford nc forget them (no help what so ever just a bunch of lame people with lame excuses)total visits 6 and nothing has been replaced even upon my insistance. I owned a 1998 F-150(best truck to date) I'm sorry that I traded it in for this 2004 bucket of bolts.

problem #1

Sep 122004

F-150 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 700 miles
I purchased this vehicle Aug. 31,2004. At approximately 700 miles the vehicle was returned to the dealer for vibration in the steering wheel and tires. After multiple attempts to repair the problem no solution has been found. I have been informed by the dealer that Ford is aware of this problem and is working on it but at this the vehicle can not be repaired. The engine has a rough idle when hot, or sitting at a stop light, this roughness transfers to the transmission when driving. The dealer states Ford will not allow repairs to be made for this problem at this time. I am very dissatisfied with this product and the manufacturers response.
