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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 ford f-150. The contact noticed rust on the bottom corners of the rear driver and passenger crew cab doors. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that a drain tube came from the sun roof and had no way for the water to get out. As a result, there was rust around the lower front strip of the driver and passenger doors, and the bottom two corners of the rear driver and passenger doors needed to be cut out and the metal re-welded.
