This farmer in South Carolina ran into problems with his PU he bought from family. The family had problems earlier. This poor guy has paid for a Truck that can't be driven by him due to the Dealers problems lasting over 9 weeks at time of his video. So check it out and learn if you can avoid his problems.
I have not run into such complaints vs the Dodge Ram Trucks.I had the same type of problems with a 96 Chevy Blazer and turned it back to them for a full refund of purchase price and registration costs on CA Lemon Law. Great law. I purchased a 96 Ford Explorer and drove it over 200K miles before giving it to my daughter and she is still driving it. I worked with a guy that turned back two lemon Duramax pickups in the early 2010s on the same law. He finally got smart and bought a 3/4 ton Dodge.
I like Fords and have had great luck with them, but if I was to choose another brand of pickup, it would be a Dodge.I have not run into such complaints vs the Dodge Ram Trucks.
Most assume the factories make their own parts. As it turns out, they job parts out to various firms. The Factory in other words essentially assembles a product that to get customers, adds the warranty and Guarantee as needed for sales.

How can that be possible?They're far too overengineered today.
My friend has one of these that wouldn't start because there was water in one of the tail light lenses. In what world is that not a product of overengeneering?How can that be possible?
If I understand, that is called a short and it would only slowly bleed the battery until it has no charge. I call that under engineered.My friend has one of these that wouldn't start because there was water in one of the tail light lenses. In what world is that not a product of overengeneering?
I cant post links yet, but how about the $5,600 tail light?If I understand, that is called a short and it would only slowly bleed the battery until it has no charge. I call that under engineered.
NOpe. It caused a bad sensor reading in the parking sensor that is incorporated in the tail light lense that put a control unit into "fault mode" and killed the truck. Truck would crank all day long because that relay is apparently independent of that particular control unit but no spark or fuel.If I understand, that is called a short and it would only slowly bleed the battery until it has no charge.

Thank you for posting that,I cant post links yet, but how about the $5,600 tail light?
How This 2018 Ford F-150’s Faulty Taillight Turned Into a $5,600 Repair posted by the drive dot com
When a tail light costs $5K to replace due to some minor water intrusion, thats a serious problem. Kind of like the Tesla battery situation where it costs like $15K to replace a bad battery pack in a Model 3. The cost of all this technology is outrageous, and when it breaks it has the bad habit of taking everything with it.
Newest car I own is 2013, even the porsche is 22 years old.Just wait til the mandated kill switches start disabling vehicles for innocent reasons. Thats expected in 2026.
I am the same way. In fact, the older I get the more I hate technologyNewest car I own is 2013, even the porsche is 22 years old.
Something we agree on.Newest car I own is 2013, even the porsche is 22 years old.
...except YouTube.I am the same way. In fact, the older I get the more I hate technology
How I feel whenever I've worked on a newer vehicle...
manufacturing order of operations. The engine is built on a bench, so to speak, and installed as a unit. They build them. They don't care about ease of repair.On that timing chain, it is my guess, based on my owning in the past a machine shop, where knowing the metals and grades is a requirement, I judge that the firm that made the timing chain did not follow specifications and used a grade of steel that was too weak.
Also I think that the Factory intentions is for their workers to do all of the work and so when it is harder to do the job, the dealers make a larger income. They are not customer sensitive is my judgement on this. It is to them like making watches. Who wearing watches are experts on watch repairs?
