well this time it was in for the bythal pad recall so i got a few other things checked out.1 throttle response. they changed the throttle body and reflashed the computer.2 shudder in rear, updated clutch pack.3 clunk in driveline, new yoke. 4 back agian for a steering wheel vibration for the 7th time or so. NOT FIXED. the had it for a total of 9 days over the last 2 weeks waiting for parts. i'm calling the service manager on monday and letting him know if we don't do something about this by the end of the week it's lemon law time. they have change everything from tires to the driveshaft and it went from 65 mph down to 47 mph, not as bad but still there. when i take it to 85(but they can't check it at those speeds of course) or so on the parkway it makes some f-ed up noises and feels like it wants to come apart! seems like nobody gives a **** at the dealer. they said someone from ford is going to come down to take a ride with me to see the prob. i'm sick of it and want out if the can't fix it. i like the truck but cant take the problems.

 

They’re all not like that, my trucks been trouble free from the major problems but I have had a few little things go wrong that needed correcting. Keep after your dealership to make it right.

 

Don't let your dealer know your going to lemon law your truck. Thats the frist thing attorneys tell you not to do. I'm going through the same process of the lemon law, but I can't believe your waiting for the 8th time already for the dealer to fix your Vibration before you have Ford do somethign with it in the lemon law. I have the vibe too that won't go away, and after the 3rd time, made the phone call to an attorney, but I have had 10,000 other things it seemed that have gone wrong, so I have others to deal with, but why wait...get yourself a trouble free truck and have Ford buy back your truck. I don't know how your state is in the lemon law, but after 8 attempts of the Vibe, you have a good chance. Goodluck with what ever u do!

 

thanks i won't say anything about the lemon law. i hear it's a long process but i think it has to be done if they can't fix it.

 

Most of the trucks I've seen with the front wheel nimble needed to be balanced correctly. I took my truck to Tire Kingdom to be aligned and I had them balance the tires, and it fixed it.

 

Just got mine back from the dealer for the butyl pads as well. I also had them look for the vibration I was feeling.

They found 3 of four tires were so screwed up they could not be balanced within specs. They replaced the tires and now my truck runs smooth as silk. So you might want to get that looked at if you haven't already.

Good luck
