TOOK TO DEALER FOR CHECK ENGINE LITE. THEY FOUND FPCM READY TO CRACK IN HALF. TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY THE TRUCK MADE IT TO THE SHOP. EXCESSIVE CORROSION BETWEEN FRAME AND MODULE RESULT OF A VERY POOR DESIGN. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. SHOULD BE A RECALL. THEY CLAIM THEIR REPLACING 2 TO 3 A WEEK. THIS DEALER DIDN'T EVEN PUT UPGRADE SPACER BOLTS ON. HERE I THOUGHT THEY WERE HELPING ME! *JS

VEHICLE SHAKES AT LOW SPEED VIOLENTLY. DID RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS. STORIES OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER FOR SHAKING NEW TRUCK TO EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT DIDN'T REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I'M A FAMILY MAN WITH 6 KIDS AND LIMITED MEANS WHICH MEANS I WILL ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS MYSELF BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A PRO-TECH TO TELL ME THE SHAKING IS NORMAL FOR FORD TRUCKS AS IN THE STORIES POSTED ALL OVER WEB DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS. I'M STILL PAYING FOR MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR $647.00 A MONTH BOUGHT IT NEW IN 07 ZERO DOWN WHICH IT SEEMS THAT I WILL END UP WITH ZERO. WIFE AND KIDS CAN'T RIDE IN THE TRUCK UNTIL I FIX IT BECAUSE SHE HAS DONE SOMETHING IN ONE DAY THAT IT SEEMS IS TAKING YOU GUYS SEVERAL YEARS TO DO. SHE DEEMED OUR FAMILY CAR UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. OH WELL I SUPPOSE THERE MIGHT BE A CERTAIN AMOUNT A PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THIS AGENCY ACTS. I REMEMBER THE ROLL OVER TIRE THING. LETS HOPE I'M NOT ONE OF THEM BECAUSE THAT WOULD LEAVE MY WIFE ON THE HOOK FOR REST OF THE TRUCK PAYMENTS SHE'S A GREAT STAY AT HOME MOTHER BUT THAT'S NOT GONNA PAY OFF THIS TRUCK MC SHAKY. I BET THAT LAST PART MADE YOU SMILE.WISH ME LUCK AND DO YOUR JOB. I GOTTA GO TRY TO DO MINE. *TR
