2010 Ford F-150. Consumer writes in regards to a complaint with vehicle dealership . The consumer stated in January 2012, he started to hear an incessant high pitched squeaking noise coming from the rear driver's side of the vehicle. The dealer informed the consumer the squeaking noise was coming from the tailgate latch assembly on the driver's side. The dealer stated they lubricated both sides and was road tested and the noise was gone. The service rep, then gave the consumer a tube of silicone that was used primarily for brake components and informed the consumer, if the noise returned, lubricate the tailgate latch. For awhile, there was no noise coming from the vehicle. Approximately two weeks later, the noise had returned. The consumer went to another dealer, to have the vehicle inspected. The dealer informed the consumer, that the previous dealer provided him with the wrong type of lubricant and the dealer reassured him the problem had been resolved.

On June 4, 2005 at about 6:30 pm I had loaded up some scrap aluminum (from a small shed we had took apart) into the bed of my truck. After finishing loading the scraps, I went to shut the tailgate which struck a thin 1- 1 1/2 inch wide piece of scrap hanging off the end of the bed part of the truck about 1-2 inches and the tailgate came off it's hinges falling onto my right knee. I have had to go to the er 2 times this weekend. Saturday night I had x-rays that have shown that the impact of the tailgate falling on my knee fractured my knee cap, I have a tomato hematoma in my knee, and tore a ligament in my knee. Sunday June 5th I had to have the fluid drained off my knee. Today (Monday June 6) I went to see my doctor and was given a date to have an mri done for this coming Thursday and also set up an appointment to see an orthopedic doctor. This was a bad experience, but it could have been alot worse if it had involved a child because those tailgates are very heavy and can cause some serious damage. I took my truck into the dealership today to have them make sure the hinges are not flawed or the hinges are in proper working order and this is a design flaw. The dealership I purchased this vehicle was north point Ford in north little rock ar. The phone number to this dealership is 501-945-1200.
