Is it worth complaining?

With all the issues my 02 has had, 5th wheel bearing replacement especially, is it worth complaining to FORD about?

It's an '02....sooo.. It's got some life on it. At some point it stops being a build quality issue and becomes a "this is life and $hit breaks" kind of issue. You might have a real sweetheart dealer that will comp a little cost or throw something in but that's pretty rare. Unless your also the guy who buys a new Mustang or Superduty every other year. Then they might deal.

If you're doing it yourself, find the hub/bearings with a lifetime warranty. At least then, all you'll have in it next time they fail, is your time and busted knuckles...
