Anyone else had these kind of major problems with thier raptor?
Mines a 2012 and in one year of ownership Ive replaced the rear locker at 3K miles, had a power steering line blow which is apparently normal up here in Alaska due to the cold temps but my Nissan doesnt gets parked in the garage and it hasnt had a single problem, and most recently, I was cruising at 65 on the highway and lost power. I was still driving but it was vibrating real bad under power and the engine light came on. I drove it immediately to the dealer and dropped it off.
They tell me so far it looks like it had a meltdown in one of the left cylinders, possibly number 2. And they think theyre going to have to call Ford for authorization to order a new long block. They havnt figured out exactly what caused it yet.
I mean, I came over to Ford because I was brought up a GM guy by my Dad but my last two GM products were a real dissapointment and I expected alot more from Ford. Im getting fed up with the apparent unreliability of this truck.
Right now Im faced with a military change of station at the end of May and I can only trust the dealer to have this thing completed in time for me to drive it from Alaska to Kentucky. And then I have to drive it with a brand new motor all the way there and hope they connected everything correctly and it doesnt start overheating or blow an injector or something leaving my and my wife and two kids stranded in God knows where.
Has anyone else had this many issues or am I an anomoly?
