Worst Ford I have Owned.

At 45000 I needed a Rear Diff. under warranty and at 75000 I needed a new Rear Diff again. 4x4 has not worked since 70000 miles and they don't even know what it is and have not been able to fix it they think it electrical. Transmission slips all the time since around 35000 miles and they say that is normal. I currently have 98000 miles on it and I now have a P00012a error (cam shaft timing) and apparently now I need a new engine. I would never buy one of these as they are Not Ford Tough...

BAD BRAKE ROTORS

I have 3800 miles on 04 f-150 and my brake rotors are scared so bad I'm worried about my wife driving the truck. Ford will not honor their warranty, they said that's normal. So every one check your front rotors. Also the truck idles bad, a/c blows hot air until you reset by turning off & on, and my radio/cd player volume raises & lowers by itself while driving. What's next?

This truck has given me nothing but problems. The dealer said it just needed spark plugs. Lied. It really needed a timing something that cost 3000 to fix. Then I figure out the radio doesn’t turn off, because the truck shakes around so much when you drive it that the sensor that’s supposed to turn off the aux fell loose. F Ford I will never buy another ford again. Sears auto is a liar
