In may, 2004 I was traveling out of state with my mother and mother in law and friend when we began experiencing problems with the front tires on my truck. After finding a garage that was open, we were shocked to find out that the lugs: nuts on both front wheels had loosened to the point of almost falling off. The garage corrected the problem temporarily, and then I contacted my local dealership where I purchased the vehicle. Giving that the vehicle had only 17,000 miles I felt like some sort of restitution was in order for the time and trouble I had undergone. After much argument, I was able to get the wheels replaced, but never quite felt safe in this vehicle. In November, 2004, while getting ready to leave for church, my husband attempted to start the same vehicle and the engine began experiencing trouble. We had it towed to the nearest dealership and were shocked to learn that the engine had blown up in this truck. It only had 25,500 miles on it. I was forced to upgrade to a newer vehicle and incurred more payments with this newer vehicle. I have made many complaints to Ford motor company, but to no avail. I feel like I am due some sort of restitution for the vehicle that I had to trade. I had made 15 payments on this vehicle and really had no choice. The answer I received from the dealership was that no one would offer me a trade in on a vehicle with a blown engine. I disagree. The time and trouble that I have had to undergo is worth something.

I am proud owner of Ford 1998 f150 v8 XLT 2wd. I do most my truck's maintenance at home. As I was rotating my tires last night, one of front left-hand side wheel bolt snapped as I was turning a nut on it. The lug nut was loose and it was kept turning. I was very disappointed at the fact that the bolt easily broke while using little force by hands. This is my second Ford and I never had this kind of problem before. So I decided to go to the Ford website and I found out that there was a recall for my truck on the wheel nuts. However I did not get any information until after the tire rotation. So I called the puente hills Ford dealership if I take my truck to the dealership so they can repair broken wheel bolt due to already recalled nut. And the dealership said that they are not responsible for the broken bolt. They will charge me about $73. 00 for the repair. But if they contacted me for the recall I would not have this kind of problem. The reason why the Ford company recalled the lug nut is that the lug nuts came loose for my truck and that is exactly problem I was having. And that is why I was turning the nut on the bolt until the point when it snapped. I drove Fords all my life and I think the dealership is trying to avoid their responsibility. Please help me.
