Brakes first was having problems at approx 15,000 miles the rotors had went out. Fallon Ford supposely turned the rotors and put new pads on. At approx. 28,000 miles lithia turned the rotors and put new pads on, stating that fallon never did that, then later on the brakes still acting up pulling right. Lithia put on a new master cylinder, lithia also had the alighment problem so they had shimms put in. Lithia relplaced the electronic cluster twice. When taken in a gain for chattering lithia said there was nothing wrong with the brakes, they also said because it was out of warranty they would not work on it with out being paid. Jones West Ford reviewed all of the paper work and seeing that it met the lemon law they refused to work on it. Letter was written to the CEO of Ford, who said they could not do anything because the trunk is used for business. The district rep that came to lithia said they could not replace the truck because lithia was not a Ford/truck dealer ship that the truck should be replaced, litha since has refused to work on the truck, fallon refuses to replace the truck. Now the brakes have completely failed. We took it in to a Goodyear shop who said when we had the electrical failure the ABS box and the porportioning valve should have been replace and is what probably was what caused this problem.

We first had the front brakes pull right we had the truck in 2-3 times for that problem they finally fixed it. But now the brakes pull left. They do not know how to fix the problem. The engine/electrial problem. All of the sudden everything electical quits working. I didn't know how to classify this problem. They replace a module and it still happens. We are awaiting for them to fix again. On the tires one blew out in the middle of the night on a very dark road 1 mile from the house my husbad drove it home took it in the next day and the refused to fix because he drove on it. Approx a month later we were on a road driving only approx 45 mph. My husband felt something when we were at a light, we pulled in to a store just passed the light got out and the back right tire had blown. We changed the tire took it in and they said they are not on a recall even through they clearly had the white ring all around the tire where it had come apart. We replaced the tires with cooper tires. We still have the tires. Goodyear inspected and agreed it was due to poor manufacturing. On the warranty problems we contacted the manufacture arbitration board. They stated since we use the truck for business we can not have the truck replaced. No where in any of my documentation states that. If this were so we would not have bought the truck. The dealership knew we used the truck for business. The business consist of a handyman business. The most we do to the truck is put on miles. (dot number: Vnw81xl tiresize: 265 75R16)

Will not steer when hard or emergency braking, or at stand still, Ford states it is normal operating condition and no repair action. Special service messages 12995. This is dangerous and something should be done about repairs, the complaint is wide spread. If one is towing a trailer, downhill and needs to slow or stop there will be on steering, or a hard braking at a turn.
