Description of the problem | Please help a consumer! I question the safety and long term value of the new ford f150 trucks my name is jim and i am writing you as a last ditch effort to inform the public about a production issue with the ford f150 trucks that vibrate under normal driving conditions. About three months ago i purchased a new f150 and from that point i have had a vibration and transmission issue. Ford has not been able to correct it and in the process i found that the dealership i bought the truck from forged some invoice documents. I was shocked to find this problem all over the country when i started to look into it. You can see for yourself if you search google for topics like "2005 f150 vibration". If you would like, i could send you a list of websites to help. In all fairness to ford they deserve a chance to inform the public about this and i am in the process of working with a lawyer to get my money back. I have attached a copy of my nightmare to this email and just wanted to let you know i have followed every protocol set by ford. I have also noticed that ford just likes to have problems delayed and expect people to run out of money when trying to recover their original purchase. You will also find emails attached from people across the country with the same problem. This story is not a waste of your time. Please feel free to search the internet, you will find all the supporting information you need. Can you please find the time to help get the word out and make things right? I just want my money back and do not want anyone else to fall into this trap. Help from the press would not allow ford motor company to stonewall people. Lets give ford a chance to help the consumer. Call anytime 248-431-5857 - i am willing to provide all supporting info including service records, research, and contacts from across the usa. Thanks jim smith. *nm |
