Replying to: shellade (Jun 26, 2008 4:11 am) the blend you have to use is a full synthetic and they say every 10,000 miles unless in my case where i haul for a living every 5,000. when they did the last engine repair they wrote the miles on the filter. i was in kansas and already had a appointment at a 24 hour ford truck center for 2 am to have it changed. i was 2 hours from there when it came apart. knowing what i know know i should have had it towed to a express lube drained the oil changed the filter and then had it towed to the dealer.lol you can read alot of these post on here and see ford has a problem and cares nothing about the consumer. hope they go belly up and no one ever buys any prouduct they make.

Replying to: rayray1967 (Jun 26, 2008 6:24 am) Thanks so much, we are so sick of Fords BS - I can only imagine what it would take to bring a major law suit against Ford, not in our life time unless a lottery win comes along - Nobody wants to do the right thing and Ford just thinks the idiots that bought the F450 will go away, I only wish Ford would, down the bankruptcy pan, I can only dream - Thanks again.
#94 of 146 CALLS ACTION SUIT by losman54 Jun 26, 2008 (12:43 pm)
Get a friend who is a lawyer have him or her file the suit, find a person who is good with computers start a website to start collecting signatures, start talking to news papers, go to consumer advocate...every major city a one of these reports. I'm sure all of the lemon Ford owners will want some payback. Are there any F450 owners that re happy with their trucks? Replies to this message: shellade (Jun 26, 2008 1:10 pm)

I have a great lawyer so i am not worried about ford.

#97 of 146 Ford F-450 Lemon by dontbuyford Jul 08, 2008 (3:36 pm)
This truck looks good, but does not perform. Within the first two months of ownership this truck overheated 3 times with no help from ford. Does anyone out there know an attorney who would like to take Ford Motor Company on? There customer service is the worse, they are always sarcastically apologizing about there lack of service. This truck is a sour lemon. Not only did it overheat the EGR coolers had to be replaced, two radiators, water pump, the turbos, short block, hoses and all Ford tried to do was to find fault with us as the owner of the truck. They requested all of our service records, which we did provide, because they wanted our warranty to be voided. I even emailed Alan Mullaly, the CEO with no response . Do Not Purchase a FORD F-450. I also have a friend who owned 2 and voluntarily repoed both, she took the loss. Most happened before 20K miles. This vehicle was purchased to haul vehicles. Can't operate my business for this truck being in the the shop. Just got it out of shop for over 30 days now the check engine light is on again. What can be done?

Replying to: 1bigdaddy1 (Jul 08, 2008 10:38 am) hey big daddy have your lawyer research the real problem. a little tip the early ones like mine and possibly yours also had faulty radiator cores .they were plastic around the outside and melting down. i lost both my egr coolers each time before my engines went. i sure wish i had a lawyer out here who would take mine. they want to much money. i have all mine tied up in a 50,000.00 piece of sh-t truck that is about to go back to the bank. good luck theses bas-ards know they are having problems and is doing this to everyone.

Replying to: dontbuyford (Jul 08, 2008 3:38 pm) Ford is now walking away from our problem with the bucking with our horse trailer, which is dangerous not only to the driver let alone the horses in the back - We need an attorney too, by the way to all on the blog we are selling the Ford and buying a Dodge - This sucks big time financially, I will never buy a Ford again, hope all our friends do the same thing.

Replying to: shellade (Jul 09, 2008 8:10 am) I agree my friends bought Dodge trucks and have had no problems and have gone well over our mileage. What a terrible shame that a company as large as Ford would not honor there word. FORD tough, yeah right.
