1999 FORD F-250 Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ENGINE STALLED. CONSUMER NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER AND FUEL USAGE PRIOR TO THIS STALLING. DEALERSHIP REPLACED 2 ELECTRONIC SENSORS. THEN A FEW DAYS LATER, ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. DEALERSHIP HAS VEHICLE, AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF DEFECT. *AK

GEM MODULE REPLACED 6 TIMES, FIRST DAY CONSUMER TOOK DELIVERY OF VEHICLE. 4 WHEEL DRIVE FUNCTION CAME ON ON IT'S OWN, WOULD NOT DISENGAGE UNTIL VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WILL NOT COME ON WHEN CONSUMER NEEDS IT TO COME ON.*AK

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AT TIMES, NOT ALL THE TIME, SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPING THE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR CAUSING LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES, ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE WENT TO FAR IN A INTERSTATE DUE TO THE BRAKES.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET ON 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND THEN THE TIRE THREAD CAP BLEW OFF THE TRUCK DAMAGING RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE FENDER BRACE, MUFFLER, FENDER WELL SKIRTING, AND PAINT. A STATE TROOPER WITNESSED THE WHOLE INCIDENT. *AK (DOT NUMBER: EJLFCCB459 TIRESIZE: LT28575R16)

THE FRONT TIRES ON MY VEHICLE HAVE INDENTIONS IN THE TREAD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FIRESTONE DEALER TO INQUIRE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND IF THESE TIRES WERE BEING RECALLED OR NOT. THE SERVICE MAN SAID IT APPEARED AS IF THE BELTS HAD BROKEN LOOSE IN THE TIRE. THE MANAGER CAME OUT AND SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A TIRE DEFECT, MY FRONT END WAS OUT OF LINE. (EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE DOES NOT PULL TO EITHER SIDE) THESE DECISIONS WERE REACHED JUST BY LOOKING AT THE TIRES IN THE PARKING LOT. ARE THERE ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF TIRE? WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?*AK (TIRESIZE: LT26575R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT26575R16 )

WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED VEHICLE WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT, AND VEHICLE MAKES NOISES. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THERE IS A POPPING SOUND FROM RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF VEHICLE. CONSUMER FEELS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING LOOSE OR IT COULD BE METAL FATIGUE WHEN BACKING UP, GOING FORWARD OR WHEN TURNING WHEELS. DOES NOT OCCUR DURING NORMAL DRIVING, ONLY WHEN JUST ACCELERATING. SOUND WILL OCCUR APPROXIMATELY 4 OR 5 TIMES A DAY. DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPRODUCE THE SOUND, AND CANNOT DETERMINE THE DEFECT. *AK

HAD ROTORS TURNED AT 32000 MILES. IN NOVEMBER2 00O, WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, VEHICLE VIBRATED ALL WAY TO STEERING WHEEL. ON FEB 19, 2001 TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, WHO SAID HE COULD NOT FIND A REMEDY. ROTORS WERE WARPED. *AK

1 TIRE HAS A SEPARATION OF TREAD AROUND IT. LOOKS LIKE A TEAR ON THE EDGE. THE OTHER TIRE HAS A SLIT IN THE SIDEWALL. FIRESTONE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT I WAS PAST THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION POINT" WITH THE TIRES.*AK (DOT NUMBER: BM14474-3 TIRESIZE: L265/75R16)

INNER COOLING PIPE IS SEPARATING FROM THE TURBO CHARGER, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER, CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. FORD ISSUED SSM# 13706 FOR THIS DEFECT. *AK *SLC
