ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS HEADING DOWN MY STREET IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND JUST BEFORE THE STREET BENDS TO THE LEFT MY TRUCK STALLED AND I LOST MY POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. DOING THE BEST I COULD I TURNED THE WHEEL JUST ENOUGH TO AVOID THE CAR PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET THEN I PROCEEDED TO RUN THROUGH MY NEIGHBOR'S WROUGHT IRON GATE AND PLASTER COMING TO REST ON THE HILL IN HIS FRONT YARD. AFTER ASSESSING THE DAMAGE, I TRIED TO START MY TRUCK TO SEE IF I COULD MOVE IT. IT STARTED AND I MOVED IT TO MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE DONE AT THE BODY SHOP I THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE DISCOVERED A FAULTY WIRE IN THE WIRE HARNESS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR SIGNS OF TROUBLE. LATER I LEARNED FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2004-2005 MODELS FOR THE WIRE HARNESS SPECIFICALLY, THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON M-37 I NOTICED WHITE STEAM COMING OUT OF EXHAUST. NOTICED ENGINE TEMP RISING. I STOPPED COOLED ENGINE AND BROUGHT TRUCK HOME, WHERE IT HAS BEEN SINCE THEN. THIS IS A PROBLEM FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2005. THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IDENTIFIED THIS DESIGN FLAW BACK THEN AND STILL TO THIS DAY REFUSE TO HELP COMPENSATE CONSUMERS FOR REPAIRS. THE HEAD BOLTS STRETCH ALLOWING FOR THE HEAD GASKETS TO FAIL. I ASKED FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE IF I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER IF THEY WOULD ABSORB SOME OF THE EXTENSIVE COST FOR REPAIRS ( 5-6000 DOLLARS). THEIR RESPONSE WAS NO, BECAUSE WE HAVE NO RECALLS ON THIS. IN MY OPINION THEY HAVE KNOWINGLY ALLOWED THIS ENGINE TO BE MANUFACTURED AND SOLD TO THE PUBLIC EVEN THOU THESE DESIGN FLAWS WERE PRESENT. THAT IS PLAIN UNACCEPTABLE. I ASK YOU TO GO ON THE INTERNET. TYPE IN FORD 6.0 DIESEL AND SEE HOW MANY FORUMS COME UP. YOU WILL SEE CASE AFTER CASE OF FAILURES. I AM LEFT WITH THIS REPAIR COST, AND WITH NO RELIEF FROM FORD. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE 2005 FORD F250 PICKUP TRUCKS HAS AN ISSUE WHILE FILLING VEHICLE WITH FUEL. THE FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF GAS TANK FILL INLET DURING THE FUELING PROCESS. THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN WITH THE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERING EMPTY, HALF, OR NEAR FULL. I HAVE HAD GAS SHOOT ALL OVER ME AND OTHER PEOPLE TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO NOT GET GAS IN THAT TRUCK AT EVERY GAS STATION NEAR MY HOME. I HAVE TO DRIVE ACROSS TOWN TO GET GAS. AS SOON AS THEY NOTICE FUEL SPILLING OUT OF MY TRUCK, I WILL BE BANNED FROM THEIR STATIONS TOO. THERE ARE 8 GAS STATIONS WITHIN 5 BLOCKS THAT HAVE BANNED ME. IT COSTS ME APPROX. $4 TO GO GET FUEL, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A STATION 1 BLOCK AWAY. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE MANY TIMES. THEY CLAIM IT ISN'T A RECALL ISSUE. I RESEARCHED THE FORD EXECUTIVES COMPANY EMAIL ADDRESSES AND SENT EMAILS TO THEM. THE EMAIL ADDRESSES WERE STILL VALID AND NOT RETURNED. THE EMAILS MADE IT TO THOSE EXECUTIVES BUT THEY NEVER RESPONDED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE FUEL SPILLAGE IS CAUSING A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND MAY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION AT A STORE. THE FORD MOTOR SERVICE PROFESSIONALS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE FILTER IN THE TANK HAS GONE BAD. I HAVE MADE THE COSTLY REPAIR 4 TIMES SINCE MAY OF 2008. IT WORKS WELL FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE GAS SHOOTS OUT AGAIN. ON ONE OF THOSE INSTANCES, THE FUEL SPILLED OUT, AND I FINISHED FUELING AND PULLED TO THE FRONT OF THE STORE TO REPORT THE SPILLAGE. SOMEONE DROVE UP IN THAT SPOT SMOKING A CIGARETTE AND CAUSED A FIRE FROM THE FUEL SPILLED AT THE PUMP. I WAS BANNED FROM THAT STORE AS WELL. I HAVE TO EITHER PAY FOR A COSTLY GAS TANK FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT, GET BANNED FROM STORES FOR HONESTLY REPORTING THE SPILLAGE, OR FUEL UP AND DRIVE AWAY FROM THE STORE BEFORE SOMEONE NOTICES THAT I SPILLED FUEL. I DON'T LIKE DOING ANY OF THOSE THINGS. FORD DOESN'T CARE. *TR

SUSPENSION
HIT A BUMP GOING ACROSS A BRIDGE ON I-74. THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET BEFORE I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EVIDENTLY WHAT FORD IS CALLING A " SHIMMY" . I HAD ALMOST NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. IF THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY WAS ANY NARROWER I WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON A TRUCK THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS "SHIMMY " IS GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED. *TR
