1999 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

THE VEHICLES BRAKE LINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING . THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE RUBBING AGAINST THE MASTER CYLINDER. *NLM

TRUCK WANDERS ON ROAD AND PULLS WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, DEALER WAS TOLD OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE VIEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THEY NEVER COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED THIS VIEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED BRAKE PADS 3 TIMES AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HUBS TWICE MYSELF AT MY EXPENCE OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. THERE WAS ALMOST A FATALITY WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES MY TRUCK PULLED ME INTO THE DITCH SLIDING AND ROCKING FROM DRIVERS SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE UP ON TWO WHEELS. MY AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF. WHO KNOWS IF THEY EVEN WORK. MY OVERDRIVE SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES AND IS BROKE AGAIN. DOOR AJAR LITE ON CONSTANTLY. BUT QUALITY FORD CANT FIND OR OFFER ME SOME KIND OF SOLUTION. THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED.

MY TRUCK HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT AND A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE TOP OF THE CYLINDER HEAD AND BROKE THE COIL PACK. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN TUNED UP. THIS IS A RESULT OF A BAD DESIGN FOR THE SPARK PLUG HOLE IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. IT ONLY HAS 5 THREADS TO HOLD THE SPARK PLUG IN AN ALUMINUM HEAD. *NLM

THE VEHICLE ROLLED OFF HILL AFTER BEING PARKED 60 MINUTES. TRUCK WAS IN FIRST GEAR WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON! THIS HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2001. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY DURING MAY OF 2002 AND HAD SERVICE COMPLETED MAY 29TH OF 2002. ON FEBRUARY 28TH 2003 THE SAME TRUCK ROLLED OFF ANOTHER HILL WHILE IN FIRST GEAR WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, AFTER BEING PARKED OVER 45 MINUTES! THERE SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND/OR TRANSMISSIONS/GEAR RATIO IN THIS MODEL TRUCK***RECALL DID NOT WORK!!!!. A PERSON SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT THIS TRUCK IN EITHER FIRST GEAR OR REVERSE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND COME BACK AND FIND YOUR TRUCK PARKED IN THE SAME PLACE, NOT TWO BLOCKS AWAY ON TOP OF ANOTHER CAR! ESPECIALLY AFTER A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM!!!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. HOW ELSE IS THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO PARK THESE VEHICLES? THIS PROBLEM HAS RUINED THREE VEHICLES, MY FLAWLESS INSURANCE RECORD AND IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY IF IT ALREADY HASN'T.*JB

HORN CANNOT BE ACTIVATED QUICKLY OR REPEATEDLY BECAUSE ONLY A VERY SMALL SPOT IN THE AIRBAG/STEERING PAD IS LIVE. FINDING THE SMALL, UNMARKED SPOT IS IMPOSSIBLE UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS AND DIFFICULT AT ANY TIME. DEALERS KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM BUT HAVE NO FIX. COMMON TO ALL SUPER DUTY WITH AIRBAG.*JB

A RATTLING OR KNOCKING NOISE EMITTING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. NOISE IS EXTREMELY NOTICABLE WHEN THE ENGINE BEGINS TO LABOR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT COULD POSSIBLY BE CAUSED FROM A POORLY DESIGNED "Y" PIPE.

THROWOUT BEARING MAKING LOUD NOISE. WAS IN FOR SERVICE AND DEALER SUGGESTED A $1500 CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. TRUCK HAS 54,000 AND HAS BEEN MAKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 3,000 MILES. FORD SAYS THAT THE BEARING IS NOT LUBRICATABLE AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED.

F-250 SUPER DUTY, 6 SPEED MANUAL TRAN. THE SHIFTING LEVER ATTACHED TO THE THROW OUT BEARING BROKE. THIS VEHICLE HAS 45,000 MILES. THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE PART, FORD IS UNRESPONSIVE TO MY COMPLAINT. NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

CONSUMER NOTICED THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE BROKE. DEALER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED. MR VEHICLE'S MANUFACTURER DATE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 02S34. *TT *JB

THE VEHICLE LOST CONTROL ON A FAIRLY STRAIGHT ROAD, THE INSURED STATED THAT THERE MAY BE A STEERING DEFECT. *YH CLAIM# 12-0650-662
