1993 FORD F-350 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN, PUSHED THE CLUTCH IN, PUSH ROD ASSEMBLY BROKE AND MADE THE VEHICLE LURCH FORWARD . WHEN THIS HAPPENED,CONSUMER HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE WAS TO KILL THE ENGINE. CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY WANTED 90.12 FOR THE WHOLE MASTER CYLINDER. BUT DID NOT NEED THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY FIXED, JUST THE PUSH ROD. THE NEW KIT COMES WITH A METAL ROD AND THE FACTORY PART HAS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT CRACKS. *AK

FRONT FUEL TANK BEING FILLED WHEN BACK TANK IS BEING USED. FORD SAYS IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND CHECK VALVES. WE FOUND A RECALL ON F-350'S 90,91,92 AND SOME 93 MODELS #93V125000. AND FORD SAYS IT'S NOT ON THEIR CAMPAIGN MESSAGE. WOULD LIKE SOME HELP IN THIS PROBLEM.

FORWARD PLANETARY IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MADE OF ALUMINUM--- THE CENTER SPLINES STRIPPED OUT FOR THE THIRD TIME -- FINALLY FOUND ALL STEEL AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT -- ASSEMBLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN STRONGER TO BEGIN WITH -- OTHERS MUST BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OR NO ONE WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO MAKE A STRONGER AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT

THE DRIVESHAFT CAME OFF DUE THE DEFECTIVE WELDS AND BOLTS WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.*AK WHILE AFTER 2 HRS DRIVE THE POWER STEERING FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT,ALSO DIESEL FUEL WAS LEAKING. *ET

FUEL RETURN IS LEAKING DIESEL FUEL ONTO INJECTORS AND EXHAUST, CAUSING A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. *AK

WHEN DRIVING AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND CONSUMER HAS TO RESET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. *AK

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE PULLED OVER AND ADDED 3 GALLONS OF WATER AFTER DISCOVERING THAT THE WATER RESERVOIR CRACKED. ALSO REPLACED HEAD GASKETS. ALSO SMOKE CAME FROM EXHAUST SYSTEM INTO ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND DIDN'T SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. I SWIRVED TO MISS A CAR, AND WAS SIDE SWIPED BY A TRUCK. IF THE BRAKES WOULD HAVE WORKED PROPERLY, THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDABLE.

THE CLUTCH ROD MADE OUT OF PLASTIC, CAUSED THE CLUTCH TO BREAK AND DISABLED THE CLUTCH, CAUSING THE TRUCK NOT TO BE ABLE TO STOP. *AK

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND THEN RELEASING THE BRAKES, A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE CALIPERS HAVE BURNED UP. THEN THERE ARE NO BRAKES. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 YEARS. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM, STILL NO SOLUTION TO PROBLEM. *AK
