shutter/misfire at highway speed and steering slop/knock feeling to name a couple. ford says its normal and wouldn't fix. wasn't like that when I bought it so..didn't like being treated the way I was having spent 40k+ on a new truck that is flawed

BUT WAIT, isnt FORD the number ONE selling truck in the world...????
I dont blame you for getting away from ford and buying a dodge. I just hope you find a GOOD dealership that will take care of you when it needs warranty work done. I love my hemi truck, i`m just not having very good luck with the dealer fixing things under warranty where i`m at. Other than that, i love the truck, i just hate the dealers.

I posted a thread quite a while ago of eco-boost & transmission problems on the 11' & 12' F150. They are well documented. The hemi is a tried & true motor. MSN auto.com this summer listed the top 10 of all time recalls. F150 was listed three times in the top 10. There was no Ram in the top 10.

the ford was a nice truck with a ton of power. if ford would step up and fix the issues and quit treating customers like garbage I would still be in my 150. with that said I have owned several dodges and havent had any major problems with any. my dealers have always treated me well too. dodge has been far better in the customer service to me than ford ever was.
