My truck is a 2004 ford f150 fx4, the suspension on the front is bad. I bought it with 65,000 miles and it was bad. I have had to replace it after nearly hitting a semi head-on after hitting a bump and it about bounced me off of the road. This has been an ongoing problem that i couldn't figure out at first. I have called ford corporate office with no return phone call. After looking on the internet at the forums…

I have a 2002 f150 with about 90,000 miles on it. About three months ago the front end started shaking violently at about 45mph. It will not stop shaking until you pretty much completely stop. Started out just doing it every now and then. Now i cant get over 45mph. This is very dangerous. I have taken it to 4 different front end shops and they all end up saying the same thing. Don't know what it is.. This obviously…

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 ford f-150. While examining the vehicle, the contact noticed that the inside of both front tires was wearing unevenly. The contact replaced the tires and took the vehicle to an authorized dealer to have an alignment performed. The contact was informed that the alignment could not be done because both front ball joints were worn. The ball joints were not replaced but the tires were balanced…

I have a 2007 ford f150 4wd pickup truck. I have 22,000 miles on the truck and just had to replace both front upper ball joints. When i took it to the ford garage they indicated this is a common failure. My concern is that the failure mechanism if the upper ball joint fails is for the wheel to fold under the vehicle and potentially rupture the brake lines in the process. They indicated this failure would be worse…

Loud screeching noises from the front end. It happened several times and i took it to an out of town dealership because i was over 125 miles from home. It seems a 4 year old truck with 69k miles had to have both hub assemblies replaced, both actuators and both valve assemblies. Mechanic stated that he's had to replace over 25 ford f-150 trucks for the same defect (his words). *tr

While rotating the tires on my 2004 f-150 i noticed the drivers side front coil spring was broken. I then looked at the passenger side and seen that one was broken also. I was broke in the exact same spot as the other one. I have never taken this truck off the road. It only has 75000 miles on it i think these springs should not be broken and there is a problem with them. While looking online i noticed alot of other…

2007 ford f-150 4x4 had the 4x4 shift on the fly activate on hard pavement while merging onto highway while on the on ramp, car lurched forward and very loud bang almost like a gunshot happened at 50 miles an hour. Caused the truck to swerve to the right onto shoulder narrowly missing the abutment . The cause is faulty vacuum actuators and shift motor. This happened repeatedly and was especially pronounced in right…
