| Description of the problem | I purchased a used 2004 ford xl f 150 4 x 4 whcih was manufactured in the u. S. But sold in canada ser # [xxx]. The truck has a constant vibration at 50 mph and i have spent $2,500 trying to fix it with out success. What really scared me was that on one occassion the vibration instantly became so severe, that i almost lost control of the truck and had to pull off the road.. Are there other complaints with this same problem? Are you aware of what causes this problem? My investigation leads me to be convinced that it ia an inherent ford manufacturing defect. Anything that you have that would support my belief would be of great assistance, or any info at all would help. I have sued ford and the trial is june 12 a few weeks from now so if you have anything please forward it asap [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
