VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOME CHASSIS. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A MIS-ROUTED WIRE HARNESS THAT ATTACHES TO THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH. THE WIRE COULD RUB ON THE STEERING COLUMN, RESULTING IN A SHORT CIRCUIT AND A BLOWN FUSE, CAUSING A LOSS OF STOP LAMP FUNCTION.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: F-SUPER DUTY STRIPPED MOTOR HOME CHASSIS BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE A MISSING OR PARTIALLY INSTALLED BRAKE PEDAL TO MASTER CYLINDER PUSHROD RETAINING CLIP.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SUPER DUTY TRUCKS AND CHASSIS-CABS EQUIPPED WITH 5.4L MANUAL TRANSMISSION POWERTRAINS. THE ACCELERATOR CABLE CORE WIRE CAN WEAR THE CABLE CONDUIT END FITTING DUE TO A FIFTEEN DEGREE ANGLE IT MAKES WITH THE CONDUIT AT THE THROTTLE BODY END. THIS COULD ALSO LEAD TO WEAR OR SEPARATION OF STRANDS OF THE CORE WIRE, WHICH COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION.
Hood flew up and Brakes locked up when I tried to stop causing me to slide sideways unable to control it and flipped four times and the air bags never came out and truck was totaled.
TRAVELLING ALONG ALCAN HIGHWAY IN REMOTE CANADA. WE HAD TREAD SEPERATION BLOWOUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT THAT DAMAGED THE F350 DUALLY. TIRE SIZE WAS 285/75/16 WITH AROUND 20,000 MILES ON THEM. TIRE WAS UNUSABLE AND REPLACED WITH SPARE. SCRAPPED THE RIM AS WELL DUE TO DAMAGE WHEN ARRIVING IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA. DO NOT TRUST THESE TIRES FOR LONG ROAD TRIPS.

I JUST LEFT HOME AND HAVE HAD PRIOR PROBLEMS. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35-40 MPH WHEN BOOM TAT TAT TAT TAT TAT TAT. I LOST CONTROL MAJOR CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I GOT IT PULLED OFF THE ROAD WHERE I LIFTED THE HOOD AND SURE ENOUGH A PLUG HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT OF THE BLOCK, HAD BROKEN THE COIL PACK AND WAS LAYING ON TOP OF THE MOTOR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND COMMON ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. I DRIVE MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS MOST DAYS AND DO NOT NEED FUEL TO BE EJECTED OUT CAUSING AN ENGINE FIRE. WHY HAS FORD NOT BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS? *TR
