Wow!
It sounds as if you got a lemon. Haven't heard of anybody having these problems this early with their truck. I guess even Ford has problems, maybe they will get it straightend out for ya and the truck will be flawless then!
Good Luck!

Lemon law
Do you have a lemon law where you are? Around
here, Massachusetts, if you bring a vehicle back for the
same thing 3 times and they fail to fix it, it's considered
a lemon and you get a new one or they buy it back from
you. Pretty sure that's how it works.
Good luck with it however it works out.

I have got 8500 miles on mine and not any major probs, I went through the lemon law in Tennessee with my 02 Explorer and won, I no it Sux but with yours it seems that the dealership and Ford are trying to fix it. My Explorer went in 5 times for it cycling in and out of 4 wheel drive under WOT and they kept saying it was normal, that after they re-built the tranfer case at 6700 miles.
Good luck and I hope they get it fixed.
