 Description of the problemI purchased a new 2004 f-150 regular cab pickup in may of 04. It has had a serious vibration since new. At first i thought it was "teething" problems, getting broken in as it were. The dealer replaced two drive shafts, a dampener and a complete rear end down to the break rotors. None of this has helped with the vibration. I took it to a second dealer after the original refused to swap the truck out as a good faith gesture. Instead they wanted to "trade" the truck. I was offerd ten thousand plus less than i had purchased the truck for, less than five months earlier. The truck i wanted to "swap" for went up over six thousand more than the sticker price. The second dealer kept it more than two weeks and could not fix the issue. Their service manager told me that they have had several ttrucks with the same issue and had no luck with rectifying it. The original service manager told me it was a lemon, the second service manager told me it was a lemon. Neither would put it in writing, for fear of job loss. Ford has been no help with the issue, after repeated phone calls and emails, nothing has been done. This is my only "reliable" vehicle. It now has @17800. 0 miles on it mainly highway. The vibration is getting worse with time and milage. I feel that any thing mechanical that vibrates will eventualy break. If i was looking to buy this vehicle used and felt the vibration i would walk away from it! It is that bad. Incident date approximate
