I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DRIVING MY 04 FORD F250 DIESEL PULLING A 25 FT FIFTH WHEEL. A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY. I SWERVED TO TRY TO MISS, BUT HIT THE CARS LEFT FRONT END. WE WENT OFF THE ROAD, DOWN THE DITCH, UP THE DITCH AND INTO A GROVE OF TREES. HIT A TREE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUMPER. BOTH MY WIFE'S AND MY EYEGLASSES FLEW OFF. MY WIFE SUFFERED A SEVERE CHEST BRUISE FROM THE SEAT BELT. MY CONCERN AND QUESTION IS: WHY DIDN'T THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY? I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55MPH AND WOULD GUESS ABOUT 40MPH WHEN WE HIT THE DITCH. BOTH THE TRUCK AND CAMPER WERE TOTALED. THE CAMPER ENDED UP FLIPPED OVER ON IT'S SIDE. *TR

FORD F-250 KING RANCH I AM A 5 TIME REPEAT FORD CUSTOMER. MY F-250 HAS A BOUNCE IN THAT CANNOT BE CURED. FORD HAD ME REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESULTS. AFTER SPENDING THE MONEY ON THE TIRES, FORD TELLS ME IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE RECENT SERVICE INVOICES WITH "CHECKED AND OK AT THIS TIME" RATINGS ON ALL 4 OF THE OLD TIRES. FORD WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, OR REFUND MY TIRES. I HAVE BEEN TO 3 DEALERSHIPS AND IN COMMUNICATION WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO STAND BEHIND. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR APPROX. 9 MONTHS, (THIRD OWNER). WHILE TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER OR GOING UPHILL UNLOADED, THE TURBO WILL HOWL LOUDLY AND THE TRUCK WILL EXPERIENCE A SIGNIFICANT POWER LOSS (CANNOT MAINTAIN ADEQUATE SPEED ABOVE 45 MPH). ALSO I AVERAGE ONLY 9 MPG CITY AND 11.9 MPG HIGHWAY UNLOADED WEIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO ANTELOPE VALLEY FORD AS WELL AS THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND GET THE SAME RESPONSE, "CANNOT DUPLICATE. IT SEEMS AS IF FORD HAS INSTRUCTED THEIR TECHNICIANS TO "CANNOT DUPLICATE" ALL COMPLAINTS IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID FIXING UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
