| Description of the problem | 2004 ford f-150 has had a severe vibration in the steering wheel, gas and brake pedal, floorboard, seat, etc. At all speeds and worse after driving for 20-30 miles, that causes arms and legs to tingle and right leg to go numb resulting in having to use left foot to brake since week three of ownership. This vibration is also causing severe back pain. This truck also has had a clunking and squealing in the rear end. This issue is happening in the majority of 04 and 05 f-150's and ford does not know how to fix it. Dsb has said that since there is a liability issue, they cannot make a ruling. So, i am stuck with a $30,000 vehicle that i cannot physically stand to drive!!! Ford needs to come up with a fix or recall them all!!! Note: have had damper installed, drive shaft indexed twice and clutches in the rear end replaced twice. The rear end is also clunking and whining. *jb |
