2000 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS WARPING. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT ROTORS TURNED 4 TIMES AND REPLACED FRONT ROTORS ONCE IN 55,000 MILES. I DO NOT TOW A TRAILER OR CARRY HEAVY LOADS. MOST OF MILEAGE IS INTERSTATE HIGHWAY DRIVING.

OEM TIRE DEFECT (THE 2ND TIRE TO FAIL IN THE SAME WAY). TIRE DEVELOPED A 2" X 3" X 1" HIGH KNOT ON THE SIDEWALL. TIRE REPLACED BEFORE FAILURE.

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKES MACHINED ON THIS VEHICLE 3 TIMES IN 30,000 MILES. *AK

THE INSURED WAS UNABLE TO STEER WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO DITCH AND HIT AN EMBANKMENT. THE INSURED STATED THAT ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE THE STEERING LINKAGE BROKE, THERE WAS ONE INJURY. CLAIM# 48-5119-497 *YH

CONSUMER STATED THAT, WHILE DRIVING THE SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION INTO LOW GEAR IT PINS HIS LEG DOWN TO THE SEAT, THE SHIFT LEVER COMES TO FAR OVER AND DOWN. THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SHIFTER BUT IT WOULD NOT HELP. CONSUMER IS AFRAID THAT THIS COULD CAUSE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *YD

SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILURE. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH A NEW SYSTEM, BUT THEN RECANTED THE OFFER. THEY EVEN ADMITTED THEY KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE.*AK

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WHEEL VALVE STEMS CRACKING AND BREAKING OFF, CAUSING THE TIRE TO RAPIDLY LOSE AIR WHICH COULD RESULT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO SHOWN UP ON OUR OTHER VEHICLE OF SAME YR.MK. MODEL. DEALER OFFERED TO CORRECT PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A METAL VALVE STEM. UNDER WARRANTY, I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL TO CHECK OTHER VEHICLE'S OF SAME YR.MK.MODEL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I HATE TO THINK FORD WOULD WANT ANY MORE TIRE/WHEEL LAWSUITS IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER.*AK *JB ****DIMS 11 IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS******754105.
