TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
BOUGHT BFG COMMERCIAL T/A TIRES FROM COSTCO LAKE ELSINORE, CA ON 05-23-2015 I WENT BACK TO COSTCO WITH A HANDLING COMPLAINT AFTER A RECENT CAMPING TRIP FIRST TIME ON THESE TIRES. WITH MY 29 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER MY TRUCK HANDLES VERY POORLY TIRE SIDE WALLS FEEL VERY SOFT MAKES HANDLING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. TRUCK FEELS LIKE ITS WANDERING AND WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE TRAILER THE TIRES FEEL AS IF THEY ARE TRYING TO COME OF THE RIMS. MY TRUCK IS A 2004 FORD F-350 SRW TRUCK MORE THAN CAPABLE OF TOWING THIS TRAILER. THE TRUCKS MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF INSTALL WAS 154601 CURRENT MILEAGE IS 155061 SO I HAVE PUT A TOTAL OF 460 MILES ON THESE TIRES. COSTCO WOULD ONLY REBALACE AND ROTATE TIRES WITHOUT ANY OF MY SAFTEY CONCERNS ADDRESSED.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE APPLYING BRAKES IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL UNEXPECTEDLY WENT DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR, THUS DISALLOWING THE TRUCK TO STOP. THE PEDAL WAS ABLE TO BE PUMPED,UP ENOUGH IN ORDER TO STOP THE TRUCK, BUT ONLY ONE TIME. ATTEMPTS TO PUMP THE PEDAL AND INCREASE THE PRESSURE ENOUGH FOR FUTURE ATTEMPTS AT STOPPING THE TRUCK WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS REVEALED RUST BUILDUP ON/NEAR A WEAK SPOT ON ONE OF THE BRAIDED, FLEXIBLE FRONT BRAKE LINES WHICH HAD BURSTED, VIRTUALLY MAKING THE BRAKES USELESS BY DISALLOWING PRESSURE TO BE BUILT UP IN THE SYSTEM. A FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE SYSTEM REVEALED A SECOND BRAIDED, FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE THAT WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST BUILDUP AND EMINENT FAILURE. THE POINT OF FAILURE ON BOTH LINES WAS THE FLEXIBLE, BRAIDED SECTION ITSELF, JUST ADJACENT TO WHERE IT CONNECTED WITH THE PRE-MOLDED PORTION OF EACH LINE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE TRUCK STARTED TO STALL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET UP TO ROAD SPEED OF 55 MPH. THE TRUCK WAS LOSING SPEED, JERKING AND BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF ENGINE FAILURE TO WARN ME OF ANY PROBLEMS, IE. ENGINE LIGHT. THIS OCCURRED ON MORE THAN ONCE, CAUSING POTENTIAL TRAFFIC HAZARD. THE CAM SENSOR AND FUEL INJECTION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR COSTS INVOLVED WERE HIGH THANK GOODNESS THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE STALLING. THANK YOU,

ENGINE
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN BUCKING AND JERKING INTERMITTENTLY SINCE WAY BEFORE ABOVE.DATE IT STOPPED RUNNING AT A STOP SIGN THEN BUCKED AND JERKED SO IN 2013 IT GOT SO BAD THAT I FINALLY HAD IT CHECKED OUT. I THOUGHT IT WAS TRANSMISSION, HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS REFERRED TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS ACQUAINTED WITH THE PROBLEM AND HAS WORKED ON SEVERAL TRUCKS WITH THE 6.0 DIESEL ENGINE. HE SAID FOR $1200 YOU MIGHT REPAIR IT, NO GUARANTEES. HE SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR. I DIDN'T HAVE IT REPAIRED. IN AUGUST 2014 IT STOPPED AND JERKED AT STOPS SIGN MORE THAN ONCE. I TOOK IT TO THE SAME MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED A SENSOR LOCATED UNDER THE TURBO, FOR $600, AND THAT SOLVED THAT PROBLEM. IN OCTOBER 2014 I WAS TOWING A TRAILER AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 4TH GEAR. I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION, BUT IT STILL BUCKS AND JERKS TODAY I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HE SAID THAT HE HAS NO RECALLS FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I ONLY DRIVE IT OCCASIONALLY. IT HAS 59,000 MILES ON IT NOW. *TR
