LAST YEAR MY BRAKES FAILED ON MY FORD F-150 2006, FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSE BY THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. LAST MONTH MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP ON THE SAME TRUCK, ALMOST CAUSING HER TO GO OVER A BRIDGE, THE RAIL STOPPED HER. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME EXPERIENCE. *TR

I GOT THE TRUCK JANUARY 06, 2006 FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I SIGNED THE PAPERWORK AND WENT HOME WITH THE TRUCK. THE SALESPERSON HAD TOLD ME THAT I WAS BUYING THE TRUCK. WHEN THEY SEND ME MY FIRST PAYMENT I REALIZE THAT I WAS NOT BUYING THE TRUCK IN REALITY I WAS LEASING THE TRUCK. THE SALESPERSON COMPLETELY JUST LIED TO ME. AS SOON AS I FOUND OUT HOW I WAS LIED TO BY THE DEALERSHIP I RETURN THE TRUCK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. NOW HOW DO THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR THE TRUCK IF I DON'T EVEN HAVE IT. *NM
