| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2004 f150 used from a local dealer, i had a 30 day 3000 mile warranty. I purchased it with 72,000 miles for $15,899. 00. Within 3 days it started a shaking, vibration going up inclines around 45 mph. I contacted dealer and they told me it was the catalytic converters, a day later it was doing it again, i called dealer and they said i was out of my 30 days. Obviously it wasn't the cats. I read all the complaints online about this problem and it sounds like ford knows there is a problem, then they should be responsible to recall it. This is my work truck and my only transportation. |
