FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE MOUNTS THAT HOLD THE FUEL TANK FAILED CAUSING THE TANK TO FALL OFF AND DRAG ON THE ROAD, EVENTUALLY WEARING A HOLE IN THE TANK CAUSING THE FUEL TO LEAK OUT. OBVIOUSLY ONCE THE GAS RAN OUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER OPERATE. WE WERE LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
HAVE HAD 2 SETS OF BFGOODRICH 285/75/16 122R D TIRES THAT HAVE FAILED WITH SEPARATION PROBLEMS. THE FIRST SET THAT FAILED 05/11, WE HAD BLOWOUT ACCIDENT ON INTERSTATE CAUSING OVER $3000 DAMAGE TO DRIVER FRONT. LUCKILY NO PERSONAL INJURIES BF GOODRICH REPLACED THE TIRES AT 100%, SAME TIRES. THE SECOND SET HAVE SAME SEPARATION PROBLEMS AS OF 03/15, AT APPROX. 30000 MILES ON 60000 MILE TIRES. THE TIRE KINGDOM STORE ADVISED UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SAID THESE TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED AT SAME TIME THE RECALLS WERE. HE CALLED THE RECALL# AND WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE AT 100% SO WE REPLACED THEM WITH THE MICHELIN 285'S. NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD THE BF GOODRICH RECALL OFFICE WILL ONLY PAY 70% ON THE NEW TIRES. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR THIS SERIOUS DEFECT IN THESE TIRES. IT DOES APPEAR THE WARRANTY DOESN'T REALLY ADDRESS MANUFACTURER DEFECTS.THIS DEFECT IS NOT DUE TO WEAR, TEAR OR CONSUMER FAULT. HAD THE DEFECT NOT BEEN IN THE TIRE, THE TIRES WOULD STILL BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER WITHOUT DANGER OF FAILURE THAT OCCURRED. WE FEEL THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND WE HAVE ASKED BFGOODRICH TO REPLACE WITH DIFFERENT TIRE AT 100% SINCE WE DO NOT FEEL WE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
ON MY FORD F-250 CREW CAB, ALL FOUR BRAKES AND ROTORS WENT BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ON 10-08-2009 WITH 81,125 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ON 11-10-2009 (ONE MONTH LATER) I HAD TO REPLACE A CALIPER ON THE LEFT REAR AXLE. ON 5-16-2013 WITH 100030 MILES (18,905 MILES LATER) I HAD TO INSTALL ANOTHER NEW CALIPER AND ROTOR ON LEFT REAR AXLE AND REPLACE BOTH BRAKE PADS. ON 8-1-14 WITH 106,861 MILES, (AGAIN WITH ONLY 25,736 MILES SINCE LAST BEING REPLACED) BOTH FRONT CALIPERS FROZE AND RUINED THE LEFT FRONT ROTOR THAT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS USED WERE GENUINE FORD PARTS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 54,000 MILES SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THE BRAKES WERE REPAIRED PRIOR TO ME BUYING IT. FROM THE INTERNET I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THESE BRAKE PARTS ARE UNSATISFACTORY. NOT ONLY IS IT UNSAFE WHEN THEY FREEZE FROM VIBRATION, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY COSTLY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE. THANK YOU. *TR

STEERING
[XXX] THE STEERING BOX CONSTANTLY FAILS. BECOMES LOOSE INSIDE. VEHICLE WANDERS SEVERELY. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. I'M PUTTING IN THE 3RD STEERING GEAR. FORD MECHANICS WOULD NOT CONSIDER THE BOX BEING BAD. IT WAS MY FAULT. EXCUSES WERE BALL JOINTS, KEEP THEM GREASED. I GREASED IT ONCE A WEEK PRIOR TO IT BEING IN THE DEALERSHIP. AS IT WOULDN'T STAY ON THE ROAD. THEN IT WAS THE NATURE OF THE VEHICLE. THEY ALL DO IT. WHAT? IT HAS NEW MOOG BALL JOINTS. SO THAT'S OUT. VERY WELL GREASED. SO THAT'S OUT. BEING THE 3RD BOX IN 89K, JUST ISN'T RIGHT. VEHICLE IS STOCK. NO LIFTS, NO OVERSIZE TIRES. I DID A WEB SEARCH. MULTIPLE FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM FROM 01 TO 08 F SERIES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VSM (VEHICLE SECURITY MODULE) FAILED. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: POWER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK, KEY FOB DOES NOT WORK, AUTO HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK, RADIO DOESN'T TURN OFF WHEN KEY IS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND DOOR OPENS, NO AUDIBLE INDICATOR FOR KEY IN THE IGNITION, NO AUDIBLE INDICATOR FOR HEADLIGHTS ON WITH DOOR OPEN, DOME LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ON FORUMS AROUND THE INTERNET. FORD HAS ALSO STOPPED MAKING THE ORIGINAL PART AND REPLACED ITS MANUFACTURE WITH A NEW PART WHICH SUPPOSEDLY DOES NOT EXHIBIT THE SAME RANDOM FAILURE RATE. HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING IS A MAJOR LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. I DROVE WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS ON FOR SOME TIME (AS THE AUTO HEADLIGHTS DID NOT COME ON) AND DID NOT NOTICE IT UNTIL I WAS ON AN UNLIT STREET. ALL OF THE OLD VSMS SHOULD BE CHANGED TO THE NEW MODEL FREE OF CHARGE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
MY FAMILY IS FORD MOTOR DEDICATED AND AS WE BUY NEW TRUCKS THE OLD ONES ARE PASSED ON TO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. WE PURCHASED THREE NEW TRUCKS AND HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TWO. THEY ARE FORD 2002 F250 SUPER DUTY WITH THE 7.3 L DIESEL. BOTH TRUCKS HAVE HAD THERE DEFECTIVE INJECTOR WIRE HARNESSES REPLACED, SHORTED OUT ON THE INTERSTATE CAUSING THE ENGINES TO SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. NO STEERING, BRAKES, NOTHING. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECH THAT THE WIRING IS DEFECTIVE AND THE OIL AND HEAT IS WHAT WAS CAUSED THE FAILURE, HE HAS SEEN THIS REPAIR QUIT OFTEN. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS ACCELERATION TO PASS OR GET UP TO SPEED QUICKLY GOING ON THE INTERSTATE OR ANYWHERE, WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE THROTTLE PEDAL QUICKLY THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT JUST FELL ON ITS FACE. AFTER YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OF THE PEDAL AND COUNT ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND TRY IT AGAIN IT WILL WORK. BIG SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD 4 CLOSE CALLS AND CANT AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS TRUCK ALL THE TIME ON V.A. DISABILITY. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING PLEASE PASS IT ON OR BACK TO ME. REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SEAT BELTS
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WITHOUT ANY REASON, MY DRIVER-SIDE SEAT BELT HAS UNBUCKLED ITSELF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING (SPEED DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR). AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS A FEW TIMES I BEGAN INSERTING THE BUCKLE AND JIGGLING IT AND PULLING IT TO MAKE SURE IT LOCKED FIRMLY BEFORE DRIVING. EVEN AFTER HAVING DONE THIS, THERE HAVE STILL BEEN TIMES WHEN IT UNBUCKLED ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. IF I GET INTO IN AN ACCIDENT THE SEAT BELT MAY NOT OFFER ANY RESTRAINT/PROTECTION. *TR
