Why wouldnt Ford allow buyers that have this issue sign a form that they wont pull a trailer, rather than people cancelling there order, after waiting for over a year to get their truck only to have it sit on the lot for months waiting for parts.I finally convinced my brothers to buy Ford trucks and the one has been on the lot for over two months waiting for this fix. Hes very frustrated, and will probaly cancel his oredr and go back to to a GM if he dosent get it next week. Shame on Ford for not addressing this issue with more info. Im a long time ford customer, frustrated on bringing new customers only to have this issue.
Has anyone heard when a fix is going to be available?
