WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK AND PAID OVER 30K AND PUT DOWN 10K. THEY NEVER GAVE US THE FULL REPORT HISTORY OF THE TRUCK... WITH TWO TO THREE MONTHS THE ENGINE WENT OUT. WE TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD US ITS NOT WORTH IT. THE ENGINE IF REPLACED WILL GO OUT AGAIN. FORD HAD A DIFFERENTCOMPANY BUILD THE ENGINES AND ALL OF THERE ENGINES WERE BAD. I BELIEVE FROM 2006 TO 2008 UNTIL FORD TOOK OVER. SO, WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM 1900 HAMNER AVE, NORCO, CA 92860 (951) 737-6151. WE CONTACTED THEM AND THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. SO, NOW I AM STILL MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF 543 A MONTH AND THE TRUCK BROKE DOWN AROUND JUNE JULY OF2014. I'VE BEEN PAYING FOR STORAGE PLUS MONTHLY TRUCK PAYMENT. THIS COMPANY KNEW THE HISTORY OF THE TRUCK BUT THEY WENT AHEAD AND SOLD IT TO US. I FOUND OUT THE HISTORY BECAUSE THE LAWYER RECOMMENDED THAT TO ME. I GUESS ITS HARD FOR LEMON COMMERCIAL TRUCK TO HANDLE. I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK AND FOR THEM TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK. THEY HAVE BEEN FRAUDULENT ABOUT THIS. *TR

THE TRUCK HAS NOT RUN PROPERLY SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED, AND THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED BACK IN 2013 WITH MILEAGE OF 31,00 DUE TO OIL BEING SPLATTERED ALL OVER AND NO POWER. WE HAD SPEND OVER 10,000.00 TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE ISSUES. NOW ALMOST 2 YEARS TO THE DAY THE ENGINE HAS AGAIN FAILED. FORD OFFERS NO HELP OR EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.. *TR

AT FORTY FIVE MILE AN HOUR THE TRANSMISSION LITERALLY FELL APART INTERNALLY. MY F-550 HAS ONLY PULLED A TRAILER FIVE TIMES AND IT HAS A COMPLETE TOW PACKAGE. I WAS NOT TOWING ANYTHING NOR DID I HAVE ANY OTHER WEIGHT ON THE TRUCK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION MADE A LOW CLUNK AND STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE F-550 HAS LESS THAN 75000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, AND HAS BEEN USED VERY SELDOM TO HAUL ANYTHING. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND FIND THAT MANY OF THESE SAME TRANSMISSIONS HAVE LIKEWISE FAILED.

BOTH FRAME RAILS ARE CRACKED AT THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT SHOCKS IN THE AREA OF THE ENGINE CRADLE CROSS MEMBER. THIS IS A CAB/CHASSIS TRUCK. *TR
