Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Rear wheels have enough play in them that there is a noticeable clunk when turning. Took the truck to the dealer and the end play of the axles are .020. Ford manufacturer said up to .030 is tolerable and I will have to live with the clunking sound. I did not pay $30,000 for a truck to listen to a clunking sound!”
