problem #3

2008Aug 19

F-150 XLT 4.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 82,000 miles

Our 2004 F150 has been in the shop more than any vehicle we have owned. Right after purchasing this brand new truck we had to take it in twice for tire problems, next the rear end had to be replaced, and we had to take it back seven times for brake problems (horrible vibration in the brake pedal). Two years later the drive shaft cracks in half and is replaced with the wrong drive shaft so it starts to crack as well. A year later the engine just shuts off (computer problem) and has to be replaced. The transmission has slipped occasionally but now it is failing. The dealership promised a 100,000 mile warranty but refuses to honor it now. We will not buy another Ford.

F-150 FX4 5.4L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,000 miles

When slowing without braking transmission downshifts with a loud clunk noise accompanied by an abrubt shift. Happens about 50% of the time. I have never towed anything with this truck. Tranny noise does not inspire confindence but transmission has not yet failed.

F-150 STX 4.6L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 39,000 miles

While slowing down without braking, or just cruising on back roads and staying within a range of speed of 25-30mph the transmission likes to down shift and with that it there is a very loud clunk. And a very rough shift. Also I feel some transmission slippage while going up a step grade (my driveway) at low speeds in drive or 1. This pisses me I really want a dodge with a cummins diesel.
