| When truck originally purchased bubble on tire, and dealer said they all come that way, tire went flat while parked about a month later, no holes, we were told tire was no good, had to be replaced. truck kept stalling, loss of brakes and steering while navigating downhill, solenoid assembly replaced. 2 days later kept stalling. dealer had truck 21 days to rebuild transmission, again solenoid assembly replaced after that replaced wiring harness. since then, caliper broke and brakes went, turbo has been replaced. vehicle has repeatedly stalled, noises from rear end with no dx. now engine smoking, loss of power, rpms jump while idling. truck has also repeatedly changed gears automatically, ie while at red light truck would jump to 3rd and then truck would stall. *jb | |||

| At just under 25,000 miles, my rotors were warped on my 2004 f350 diesel dually (4x4 8'bed crew cab). i do haul trailers under 8000 lbs occasionally but there has been no undo stress on this truck to warrant such a condition so early. even though my brakes were in the green at my last oil change at 20,000 miles, after my complaint they said my brakes were now in the red - along with my warped rotors. this definitely seems like a defect. *nm | |||
