Ok so my truck has been in shop for its 3rd week.It is a 2009 f-150 lariet 4x4 i bought used with 59k on it.Been a great truck till i let the dealer touch it.I brought the truck in with a small squeking noise only when i went over bumps.They said it was a bad strut replaced it under my exdended warrenty that i bought and it took 4 days to do so.I brought it home and left next morning and didnt get 20 miles and i start hearing metal or gears grinding horrably.Sounded like the front end was eating its self.Drove it to them same day and two weeks later they cant fix it.They told me it was a intermedate shaft i said man its gears grinding.Well that wasnt it then they said rear shock i said your crazy a shock doesnt sound like a gear grinding.well they called me today and that wasnt it and said they dnt no what it is but its safe to drive and i can have it till a factory mechanic can come in and look at it.Ok metal grinding isnt safe and these people must be retards.What do i do i feel stuck and bucked over.Anybody had a issue like this or have any idea what i need to do?thanks

 

If you have an extended warranty, and they are directing you to drive the truck, why are you worried about driving it? They haven't told you they won't fix it, they've told you they aren't able to diagnose the problem until it gets worse.

It's a three year old truck. It's already had parts replaced, and it's going to need more parts replaced. It's not fragile, irreplaceable, or unlike any other vehicle on the road.

Sorry to sound blunt, but grow up and get used to it.

 

Take your truck for a test drive and put it in 4wd while driving. If the sound goes away, they most likely cracked the vacuum line to your hub. While changing the strut.
