Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer 2002 ford f-150 supercrew top shaft piston for the shock absorber broke. *ts the consumer stated that he never carried more than 500 pounds in the cargo bed nor ever pulled anything (motorcraft shock absorber, ash-144, 2l3z-1825-fa, h751b 103805 100604, bar code: 31508 407657, ml1193 rev 5/01).
Saw tv note on daimler-chrysler recall re: ball joints. My wife has a similar issue with a gm f-150 (independently verified by a mechanic as excessive wear for 20,000 miles and is already making the noise chrysler says is a warning)--but dealer says it's within specs, and gm says it won't go against dealer. New husband is very worried for his wife given that ball joint is already at the stage that is quoted as "consumer would have warning because of noise"--yet no repair offered or even thought needing further review.
Passenger door would open while vehicle was moving. *ph the consumer also stated that the vehicle vibrated while driving. The consumer mother-in-law fell while trying to get into the front passengers side door of the truck. The brakes would lock up intermittently.
Broken front coil spring.
Shudder from rear end when turning right or left or while taking off from a stop.
Passenger side rear tire broke off at the axle, while going approximately 35 MPH, causing the truck to spin out. Unexplainable, did not have an accident for this to happen.
Bad shimmy / vibration front end. This has been this way since I bought it new. Have taken it back to ford on 4 different times. Once they tried to fix it but hasn't been resolved. Think it is a safety issue at higher speeds.
Truck is subject to vibration at highway speeds with cause unknown by dealership. Tires have been changed twice and then mounted and balanced four times. Cause of vibration is still undetermined. Nlm
When making a slow turn there was a popping sound that came only when making low speed turns. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.
