2020 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

When temperature is below 32 degree clock spring in steering makes noise and causes steering to become stiff also renders horn in operable in positions while driving. I have brought this vehicle to get it fixed under warranty and the temperature raised to 40 degrees and everything worked as it should. I got cut off the other day and when I honked my horn it made no noise!

Rec'd recall notice but with no available resolution offered to us. The letter says the risk is "A loss of motive power increase the risk of crash". We drive this truck on the regular. Also, we have a 2,000 mile trip planned with children in the truck. How do you expect us to drive this truck and take this planned trip when Ford's own words say we are at risk of a crash? Will you put pressure on Ford to pay for us a rental vehicle until this is resolved?

Manufacturer Recall Number22S22 NHTSA Recall Number22V256 For the past three years, I have been trying to get Gullo Ford in Conroe, TX to perform the recall repair mentioned above on my vehicle. Multiple times I have tried to call or visit the the dealership in person to schedule the repair. Every time I am told that they either do not have any openings and that they are booked for the full year, or do not have the parts to perform the recall fix. I am then told that they will contact me to schedule an appointment to perform the recall, however, each time I am never contacted back. To make matters worse, for maintenance that I paid out of pocket during this time frame, they gladly perform the work needed with no push back or delays. I am trying to determine what options I have at this point to ensure my vehicle recall is performed as I'm afraid it will eventually cause safety issues for me and my family.

The collar on the transmission degrades around 105-130k miles on the new 10r140. Upon driving on the highway i completely lost power upon gear transitions and paused acceleration. After weeks of constant power loss i ended up completely losing 10th gear while hauling a trailer. While shifting from park to drive the entire truck would have a major jolt and jump forward. No warning lights came on during any of the events, even after an entire gear was lost. The mechanic had this happen to him while driving it and had to completely replace the entire transmission at 117k miles. This was an extremely dangerous event while at highway speeds losing power. This is also somewhat of a well know problem (certainly with the 1/2 ton version of this same transmission). This should be recalled.
