I'm sorry about your troubles (if they are in fact yours), but would finding a titan or any competition vehicle with more help? Regardless, thats a significant amount of problems for a new vehicle, would be hard to find another make period with as many on one vehicle. To be honest, I have had no problems unless otherwise posted, same with my 02' F-150, no problems except for the recall on the cruise. What more can you ask, 2 problem free F-150's. Actually, poor A/C performance is the only gripe I have.

Is this something that got fixed? One thing I have always loved about Fords is their super powered heat and A/C.... Every foreign car I have owned doesn't even come close.

Not to kick the F-150 to death, but I did buy a 2500 Ram ( factery order ) and I'm counting down the days, in the first 20,000 km my 04 was an excellant truck, once it got past a the first year, it just went south, now the F-150 is barley hanging on ( I'm sure a good ford garage can bring it back ) my main problem is I don't have the time to take the truck in, and my expierance with Ford service has never been good, I use the f-150 for my employment six day's out of the week.

Yeah that really pisses me off you go to the dealer to maybe try and learn a little more, look at the trucks on the lot and the saleman doesn't know ANYTHING it made me so mad. Every truck we went to he had to go look at the the sticker and then proceed to tell me stuff that I already knew by looking at the truck...We would all make much better salesmen.
