THEY PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT 2 DAYS LATER THEN WHILE REACHING 50 MPH MY TONS WOULD DROP AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE I HAD JUST PUT 51 DOLLARS IN THE TANK, THEN I PUSHED THE GAS TO THE FLOOR MY ROOMS WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO 3 THEN I WOULD HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS AND IT SEEMED TO DO A HARD SWITCH IN GEAR. AS THIS CONTINUED THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHOOK TILL I FIGURED OK JUST PUMP THE GAS AND LET OFF BEFORE THE SHAKING GOT TO BAD. NOW THE SHAKING AS GOTTEN WORSE AND THE TRUCK SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AT ALL OR DOES A HARD STALL. IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A NEW LOW RANGE MOTOR WITH ONLY 100,000 MILES ON IT AT LEAST THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT, I ALSO VERBALLY MADE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DEALER THAT IF ANYTHING WAS TO GO WRONG HE WOULD FIX IT, HE AGREED.

THE HALF REAR DOORS ACCESSING THE REAR BENCH SEAT ARE DEFECTIVE. THE DOORS HAVE A DEFECT IN THE LOCKING/OPENING HANDLE. THE FORD DEALER LOCALLY WANTS TO CHARGE ME IN EXCESS OF $1119.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MATTER VIA THE INTERNET & HAVE FOUND THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON COMPLAINT.
