What owners wrote
Dropped off vehicle with ford dealership service adviser and proceeded to waiting area. Vehicle had a steady yellow engine light indicating service is required. Five minutes later, loud engine racing noise, tires squealing and crash impact sound from service bay area. Knowing it was my truck, I went out to the service bay to see it slammed through the far stone wall, about 75 feet from the service desk. Hydraulic fluid was all over the floor, outside and inside of the truck.
When starting or stopping, vehicle has a thump and slight surge forward, dealer says problem is from the 2 speed rear axle, and ford has yet to get a fix for it, contacted ford, and they say they have no problem even dealer told me many similar problems with this vehicle.
