| Description of the problem | Truck has leaking radiator hoses. Went to local ford dealership for replacement parts. Was told that i am number 70 in line for those parts. Radiator fluid always low, constantly refilling it. This is dangerous due to the amount of fluid that leaks out on a daily basis. Very nervous about driving truck, fear that it may breakdown on me and leave me stranded on side of road. Concerned about the backlog and waiting so long for parts. Is this a problem with all f150 radiator hoses, and if so shouldn't ford issue a recall and fix the problem. I am worried t4hat i am going to breakdown on the side of a road late at night in 0' weather and try to find a town truck. I only have one vehicle and not able to rent a car for several weeks while my garage waits for the parts. |
