The seat back fails at random times. Parking lot or 70mph interstate…

The transmission will twist the driveshaft at startup, stationary, and cause the rear end to pop very loudly. I've shown ford engineering a video of it, i was told that it was normal. I've never heard of a vehicle doing this before. There is a rattling sound on deceleration, loudest when the engine is cold and lessons or maybe even goes away after warmed up. The engine was replaced earlier this year because of an…

We got into an accident over the weekend. We were t-bones by a bus. It wrecked the passenger side of the car. However, when i went into the passenger side to get my purse out i noticed that there were flames coming from the side of the drivers seat. Our f150 is now burnt to a crisp. There's no reason for that truck to have caught fire like that.
