1998 FORD EXPEDITION Complaints

I NOTICED THAT MY TRUCK WAS LEANING TO THE RIGHT SIDE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACE A CONNECTOR IN THE LIFT SYSTEM ON APRIL 30,2008. THE LIFT SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING. 05/06/08. SINCE I PURCHASED MY 98,FORD EXPEDITION BACK IN 2000,THE LIFT SYSTEM HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I 'VE HAD THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS FLATBED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM ON THE TRUCK NEVER CODED UNTIL THE 8TH OF MAY AT THE SHOP. WHEN THE LIFT/SUSPENSION FAILED NO INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE REAR STARTED TO DROP AS I WAS DRIVING IT HOME. NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT CONVERT TO A COIL SYSTEM. *TR
