Question on a need for a recall.

I bought my F 150 Lariet new in September 2008. It has been a good truck. I have a problem with what the dealer says is a fan behind the dashboard. When using A/C or fan control I get an annoying rattle from the dash. The dealer quotes $1,500. For repairs. This is outrageous. I can't believe I am the only owner with this issue. Should maybe be under recall?

It was just what we were looking for.

It is very clean. Has everything you could want in a truck. Drives great. It has bluetooth for a phone but are not able to figure our how it works. This is a second car for hauling our trout fishing boat.

A real good truck

As I write this it is 12 years old I’ve got 78 thousand miles and so far I’ve done to it is 2 tire changes and 2 battery’s and normal oil changes. So far it’s been an outstanding truck one of the best I have owned and I’ve owned several of them all right this truck pretty high

Worst vehicle owned

This truck has been nothing but problems. In 5 years we replaced the 5.4 engine 2 time and transmission 2 years ago and now it needs tranny again. Save your money do not buy the 5.4 Briton.

Absolute tank.

I’m 20 years old and I’ve had my truck for a little under a year now. I love this thing. It has 220,000 miles and has been slammed head- on into a tree. Rebuilt the front end and it looks even better than it did. I rebuilt the rocker corners bc they rotted out and threw some fender flares on it to hide the rust above the wheel wells. After 12 years of Buffalo winters, the undercarriage is quite rusty, but by the time I’m done building it, nothing will be original parts haha. I’m currently working on replacing my exhaust manifolds and pipes, which is a huge pain in the xxx, but will be worth it when finished. If you take care of them, these trucks will treat you like royalty and the 5.4 Triton makes you sound like a badass with a straight pipe exhaust on it. These trucks deserve WAY more credit than they receive just because of how tough they are
