2000 FORD F-250 Complaints

THERE WAS VIBRATION IN VEHICLE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. DEALERSHIP EXAMINED VEHICLE, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT BRAKE ROTORS WERE WORN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *AK *SLC

WHEN BRAKING HARD AND TRYING TO TURN/STEER AS IN ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND EVASIVE MANEUVERING, THE STEERING WILL LOCK MOMENTARILY. IT IS A HARD SITUATION TO DUPLICATE SINCE IT IS A REACTIONARY ACTION AND IS ADRENALINE POWERED, BUT IT CAN BE SIMULATED WITH THE ENGINE ON AND THE VEHICLE IN PARK. ?DEALER INSISTS THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION AND THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX!!! THIS HAS OCCURED TWICE WITHIN THE MONTH OF MAY AND BOTH INCIDENTS RESULTED IN NEAR COLLISIONS.*AK

QUESTION - I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SOME STEERING COMPONENT OF THE F250 FORD PICKUP; HOWEVER, THE ARTICLE DID NOT ELABORATE. COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEFORE I TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER. INFORMATIONAL, NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

A COMPANY VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHEN USING, VEHICLE HAD BEEN EXAMINED, AND FIRE WAS THE RESULT OF TRANSMISSION LINES BEING POSITIONED TOO CLOSE TO EXHAUST SYSTEM, A HEAT PRODUCING SOURCE. TEMPERATURE THAT DAY WAS APPROXIMATELY 75-80 DEGREES. *AK MANUFACTURER NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY, THEY ARE STATING THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS THAT CAUSED FIRE.*JB

IF THERE ARE ANY UNEVEN PARTS OF ROAD OR BUMPS, STEERING WHEEL WILL RIP RIGHT OUT OF CONSUMER'S HAND, AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. *AK
