DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT RETRACTOR FAILS TO LOCK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED, HOWEVER, FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S FRONT WHEEL FRACTURED AND DETACHED ONCE AND ALMOST DETACHED A SECOND TIME. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS THAT LED UP TO THE PROBLEMS WITH THE WHEELS. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN 2005 AND COMPLETELY DETACHED AND THE SECOND TIME, IN 2006, AFTER VIEWING THE WHEEL THE CONTACT OBSERVED CRACKS IN THE WHEEL. THE WHEEL WAS REPLACED BEFORE IT COMPLETELY FRACTURED. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THE REASON FOR THE CRACKS WAS THE WAY THE WHEEL WAS MOUNTED TO THE FRONT HUB WHICH CAUSES STRESS CRACKS IN THE WHEEL ITSELF.

DRIVING ALONG AND ENGINE SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY DIED WITH NO WARNING. TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED. PROBLEM WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. REPLACING THIS PART WITH A NEW ONE HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM SO FAR. I HAVE THE OLD PART. *NM

I AM THE OWNER OF A 1999 FORD F-350 DIESEL SUPER DUTY TRUCK WITH DUELS. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE. IT'S STILL RUNNING, BUT YOU CAN'T GO ANY WHERE. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL IS USELESS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND ACCELERATION IS RESTORED. OTHER TIMES, I HAVE TO STEER THE TRUCK OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EITHER PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK WHICH WILL SOMETIMES MAKE THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL DISAPPEAR OR TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS MAKES FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I AM AT RISK OF BEING REAR-ENDED. I AM VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET AND PRAY I WON'T BE. PLEASE HELP OR POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO GET HELP! THANK YOU! *NM
