What owners wrote
Poor gas mileage; has averaged 15.4 miles per gallon, and ford advertises 16 city to 20 highway. Other f150 owners report poor gas mileage. Is this false advertising because I would never have purchased truck getting 15.4 miles per gallon when I travel mostly highway miles. I have a loud rattle noise under truck and the catalytic converters and muffler have all been replaced! Also, vibration via gas pedal from engine (?) noted between 45 and 55 MPH.
While driving on a local highway I felt my trucks front end vibrate then start to wobble. Stoped at a traffic light I could smell the odor of hot metal. I pulled in a parking lot got out of my truck andwalked around the front of my truck. I could feel a lot of heat comming from the left wheel. There was an auto service dealer open below where I pulled off the highway. I left my truck to be checked out.
