1994 FORD F-250 Complaints

CONSUMER BOUGHT A USED VEHICLE. LATER, FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS LEAKING OIL/THERE WAS NO CATALYTIC CONVERTER/ BRAKES SHIMMIED, AND SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD.*AK

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON BUMPY ROAD SURFACE, CONSUMER NOTICED THERE WAS VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHICH WAS CAUSING POOR CONTROL. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHILE TOWING OUR 5TH. WHEEL TRAILER IN THE CURB LANE ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, WE EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT WHICH ACTUATED THE EMERGENCY FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE. THE RIGHT, FRONT TRUCK TIRE BLEW OUT AND THE ASSOCIATED BUMPY/SHUDDERING APPARENTLY CAUSED THE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE TO CLOSE. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY, BUT WITH CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY. WHEN THE FUEL STARVED MOTOR SHUT DOWN WE LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHICH ADDED TO THE DIFFICULTY CONTROLING THE RIG. NOBODY WAS INJURED AND WE WERE ABLE TO INSTALL THE SPARE TIRE AND RE-SET THE FUEL VALVE. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE MAY HAVE ACTUATED TOO EASILY. IF WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING IN THE CENTER LANE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REACH THE SAFETY OF THE MEDIAN OR SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT23585R16 )

THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED, THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN THE 1994 POWER STROKE TRUCKS. IN FACT THE DEALER IN THE AREA STATED ON 10-23-99 THIS IS THE WEAK LEAK OF THE 94'S. BY ALL INFO THAT I HAVE GATHERED FORD KNOWS THIS AND MADE A DESIGN CHANGE IN THE 95 MODEL YEAR. AND THE RESONS THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL IS BECAUSE IT IS ISOLATED TO JUST THE 94'S. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR MY ABILITY TO KNOW WHAT TO DO, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, POWERING UP TO MERGE IN WHEN THE CLUTCH UNLOADED. ANY ASSSITANCE OR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SUBJECT WOULD BE GREATLY APPERCIATED. THANK YOU COLIN FARRELL

SMALL PROBLEMS STILL OCCURRED HERE AND THERE, BUT IN JUNE OF 1999 MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO ACT UP AGAIN NOT SHIIFTING RIGHT, WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO A FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR I DROVE IT IN, WHEN THEY WERE DONE WITH THE TRUCK I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED OUT OF THERE AND THEY STILL CHARGED ME 700 DOLLARS, I BROUGHT IT TO THE MAN WHO DID THE REBUILT ONE AND HE GOT IT RUNNING SAID IT WAS FIXED SO I PAID ANOTHER 640 DOLLARS THEN DROVE DOWN THE STREET AND IT STILL WAS NOT REPAIRED, IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE IT WAS WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP.
