There is a squealing noise coming from the front end in the suspension. Dealership knows about the problem & referred owner to the hotline.
Stopped at a traffic light and when light turned green, pressed gas pedal but truck would not move. Waited a few minutes and pressed pedal and truck went. Driving down highway, truck started coasting - engine was running but pressing the gas pedal gave no power. Finally got the truck to ford service. Left the truck running and in park - the truck jumped into reverse. The truck lost power again while the ford tech was test driving. They replaced the electronic gas pedal and the transmission. They took the truck on a test drive and noticed the rear end was grinding. They determined the carrier bearings had come apart. They have ordered a new rear end. The windshield washer fluid would not spray - they repaired some wiring to correct that problem. Ea04006 has ifs
While driving the transmission failed. I coasted to the side of the road, turned off the truck and restarted. The truck then moved. I stopped at traffic light and pressed the gas pedal when the light turned green - the truck would not move. After a few minutes the truck moved when I pressed the gas pedal. In the ford service lot the truck was running and in park - it jumped into reverse. Ford replaced the transmission and took the truck on a test drive. While on the test drive the tech noticed the rear end was grinding. When he took it back to the shop he found the bearings had come apart. They told me a new rear end was needed. Ford has also replaced the electronic gas pedal. They have repaired wiring to correct the windshield washer fluid problem. They have also replaced the radio. I have had the truck in my possession from 12-3 to 12-11. Ea04006 has ifs
