Last week there was a news report about a company in Ontario charged with turning back vehicle odometers. Did anybody here happen to catch the full report? The reason I'm asking is I purchased a 2008 Ford King Ranch in Sept 2013 from a local dealer. At the time of purchase it had 73,000 km registered. I purchased it, because it was extremely clean inside & out & very low mileage for a 5 year old truck. Over the past 2 years I have had numerous repairs completed. Idler pulley, steering column differential, rotted fuel line, remote start module, fuel sending module, new battery, 2 rotted transmission lines, power steering lines, dash lights on the GPS were dimming, then bright again. I've had the truck towed twice, once while stalled on a launch ramp while others were waiting to launch! How emberassing! A mechanic checked the differentials for me to find the oil very gummy - sludge. I questioned this oil condition as though - why so gummy on a low mileage vehicle? I asked him to change all the related oils. I feel there are way too many problems with this truck if in fact the registered mileage is true.
