1990 FORD F250 Complaints

HELLO, I PURCHASED THE ABOVE VEHICLE USED FROM A PRIVATE CITIZEN. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS JUNE 1991. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE VEHICLE HAD AFTERMARKET WHEELS AND TIRES INSTALLED. THE ORIGIONAL WHEELS AND TIRES WERE PROVIDED TO ME WHICH I STILL HAVE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN USING. ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE A DEFECT IN THE SIDE WALL. THE DEFECT IS BUBBLE WITH AN ELONGATED SPLIT APPROXIMATELY 1/2 TO 3/4 OF AN INCH LONG. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAD APPROXIMTELY 17,000 MILES ON IT. THE ORIGIONAL OWNER TOLD ME THAT THE AFTERMARKET WHEELS AND TIRES WERE INSTALLED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES ON IT. (TIRESIZE: 235/85R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/85R16 )

I HAVE TRIED TO E-MAIL BRIDGE BUT THE E-MAIL KEEPS GETTING SENT BACK. BOTH REAR TIRES FAILED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF EACH OTHER. *AK (TIRESIZE: LT2358516)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT2358516 )

CONTINUING STALLING OF THE ENGINE SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK HAD ONLY 27000 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I THOUGHT IT NEEDED A TUNE UP. HOWEVER, A COMPLETE TUNE UP WHICH I HAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES DID NOT FIX THE OCCASIONAL STALLING. I WAS TOLD AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS CHECK THAT IT WAS THE EGR VALVE AND I HAD THAT REPLACED. IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NOW, WITH THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE WITH IT STALLING WHENEVER I SLOW DOWN FOR CURVES, HIGHWAY EXITS, ETC. WHEN I HAVE ASKED A LOCAL FORD DEALER PARTS PERSON ABOUT THE STALLING PROBLEM THEY HAVE STILL POINTED TO THE EGR VALVE. BUT AFTER HEARING YESTERDAY'S NEWS REPORT ABOUT THE TFI MODULE AND COMPARING MY STALLING PROBLEMS TO WHAT I HAVE LEARNED, I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS THE TFI MODULE. THIS STALLING COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TO REPLACE THE MODULE THE DEALER COST WOULD BE $99.87 FOR THE PART, PLUS LABOR. I REALIZE THAT AFTER 3 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE I NOW HAVE 82,000 MILES ON IT BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT SAFE. IF FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR THIS LONG OF A TIME IT SHOULD REPAIR THIS PROBLEM OR REPAY ME FOR HAVING IT FIXED.

AT LOW SPEEDS OR IDLING IN TRAFFIC VEHICLE WILL SHUTDOWN AND DIE INTERMITTENTLY. CONSUMER MUST RESTART VEHICLE. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE CAUSE.*AK

WHILE TRYING TO START VEHICLE, AND AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED *AK

A MALFUNCTIONING CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP IS CAUSING A PORTION OF UNUSED FUEL TO GO TO ONE TANK, RESULTING IN A FUEL LEAKAGE. ALSO, RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL 93V125000/ DEALER RECALL 93S68 IN REFERENCE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. OWNER PAID FOR REPAIRS. *AK *ML

TRUCK VIBRATING AT LOW SPEED. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY RIGHTS I HAVE, BECAUSE I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE TRAMISSION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OUT. THANKS. *AK

DESIGN OF THE FUEL SYSTEM CAUSES FUEL TO BE PUMPED FROM THE TWO PUMPS TO FUEL LINE CONTINUOUSLY CREATING A FIRE AND POLLUTION HAZZARD. YH
