Description of the problem	We bought this truck and paid over 30k and put down 10k. They never gave us the full report history of the truck... With two to three months the engine went out. We took it to the mechanic and he told us its not worth it. The engine if replaced will go out again. Ford had a differentcompany build the engines and all of there engines were bad. I believe from 2006 to 2008 until ford took over. So, we bought this truck from 1900 hamner ave, norco, ca 92860 (951) 737-6151. We contacted them and they did nothing about it. So, now i am still making monthly payments of 543 a month and the truck broke down around june july of2014. I've been paying for storage plus monthly truck payment. This company knew the history of the truck but they went ahead and sold it to us. I found out the history because the lawyer recommended that to me. I guess its hard for lemon commercial truck to handle. I just want my money back and for them to take the truck back. They have been fraudulent about this.
