| Description of the problem | I purchased a ford f150 crew cab 4x4 brand new in 2009. At 35000 kms (+/-), 55000 kms (+/-) and now 90000 kms, the "clutch packs" had to be replaced. When pulling a trailer or boat and the drive train gets hot, the drive train grinds and shakes badly. I spoke to service at dealership & was told this is a common occurrence and several other owners from that dealership alone have had the same complaint. I am worried that when driving at freeway speeds with a trailer attached that something is going to let go and cause a serious accident. Something should be done at ford to fix this manufacturing defect before someone is seriously injured or killed. |
