but I feel like I am going to scream! My truck is still screwed. Still making the noise. Now they are on the phone with the District Manager trying to get me a new motor. I'm done with being patient. I don't even know who to be upset with. I've acted very polite and understanding on the phone...and my salesman even called to tell me thanks because of it.
Well.. definately sorry to hear about your ongoing ordeal. I would suggest looking into the lemon law and get a new vehicle to replace it. I'm not certain, but haven't they attempted to fix it at least 3 times? If so, there should be a new truck coming your way.

hmm.. that's a tough one.
I'd see if they'd give it back to ya for a bit. You can drive it around for a minute and take it back in. Repeat twice and there's 3 attempts to fix it.
GET THIS MAN A NEW TRUCK !!!!

I just checked....has to be either in the shop 4 times for the same problem, or in the shop for 30 or more days.
If you keep taking it back, make sure you get a new receipt or work order every time you take it back. You'll need those to prove it was taken back so many times. The dealer I bought my Explorer off of, kept trying to work around that when I had an alignment problem (Later found out it was related to the big tire problem).
They tried giving me nothing. Then a photo copy of my original work order. They know the lemon law too and ways to get around it. Make sure you know your law and make sure you document everything. (What was wrong, what you did, how many times you took it there, how long it was there, specific dates and diagnoses...)

next time you're over there, lock the keys to your truck in the truck. that will keep them tied up for at least 2 days knowing how fast auto mechanics work...
Sorry to hear about your dilema beastboy. I take it from your post that they replaced the parts that you mentioned in your previous thread and that didnīt resolve it? What were the parts that they attempted to replace(if you know)? I am just really curious about what you could replace to fix this sort of "timing" issue as they stated.
Good luck and keep us informed.

A call to Ford's customer service may be in the near future.

My dad had an Explorer one time with a repeated front end problem. He finally called someone at Ford and explained to them that this vehicle was not quality one per their ads. He wound up getting a replacement.....
