I told them I would let it grind until the IWE hub is completely shot. They told me it might not be covered. I almost screamed at the service guy and told him I would certainly not start bringing it 1x per week. I'm sorry, but I just don't have time for that. The point of buying a new vehicle is for the peace of mind that comes with it. Kind of defeats the purpose.
I know several mechanics that I trust, that work on all brands, and they all say the same thing, Ford has the worst 4x4 system out there.

Ford has some weird love for vacuum operated systems. No one else still uses a vacuum operated 4X4 system. Ford was the last manufacturer to use vacuum operated wipers and vacuum operated HVAC systems.

Wasn't Ford the one that used vacuum operated door locks that locked the doors when going through a car wash? The right front was quiet this morning when I tried 4A. Wonder if water got in it yesterday when I forded a river called County Line Road.

A while ago. Who cares though? Its no different than calling Ford yourself and talking to a rep. They didn't possess any additional powers.

Think Twice about a new F-150!! Trust me...... Now why would I trust a stranger on the internet? No thanks. Just because you had a bad experience, I am supposed to base my buying potential from you? Ignorant.

I agree Summers22, My F150 has been flawless, People don,t realize all trucks and cars will need fixing at one time or another.
