| Description of the problem | I recently purchased a 2004 ford f150 supercab pickup truck, as i left the dealership and started home i noticed that the bed was shaking terribly between 55 and 62 mph. I called the dealership before i was three miles away and they told me to bring it back the next day, i did. They said that it was fixed, it wasn't. I left again (the day after i purchased) and immediately called the service department at jacky jones ford in sweetwater, tn., and told them the problem was just as bad. The service clerk (jason) told me that there was a problem with this model truck and that ford was in the process of fixing it. That was a month ago. Now i have learned that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of ford f150's with this problem and they are not being fixed. I cannot get the dealer to reschedule a time to repair my truck.*ak |
