VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I AM EXPERIENCING A SERIOUS SURGE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SURGE 5 TIMES SINCE I FIRST PURCHASE THE VEHICLE OVER 18 MONTHS AGO, AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT TWICE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. I MOST RECENTLY WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES SHALL THIS SURGE OCCUR DURING ANY EXTREMELY HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION, SUCH AS STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN. I AM A MEMBER OF A FORD ENTHUSIAST WEBSITE AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE WHO ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME DEFECT. I OWN A 2001 FORD F150 HARLEY DAVIDSON AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE WHO I SHARE THE ROAD WITH. PLEASE HELP ME GET FORD TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION BLEW A BACK SEAL. THERE WAS METAL AND BRASS SHAVINGS IN THE TRASNMISSION. THE REPAIR PERSON SAID HE BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS BEING CAUSED BY "REAR SEAL WALKING OR SPINNING OUT, PROBABLY DUE TO EXCESS DRIVESHAFT MOVING OR FLEXING. WE REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION AND A WEEK LATER WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. EXCEPT THIS TIME THE REAR SEAL GOT SO HOT IT BLEW THE TRANSMISSION CORE ALSO. I HAVE SPENT 1700.00 SO FAR.

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
I OWN A 1992 FORD F-150 EXTEND CAB TRUCK. ON 6-13-03 WHILE DRIVING ON THE INDIANA TOLL ROAD THE BACK RIGHT TIRE SHEARED OFF ALL THE WHEEL STUDS INSTANTLY. FORTUNATELY THE TIRE DID NOT FALL OFF TILL AFTER THE TRUCK WAS PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WE WERE GOING VERY SLOWLY. THE MECHANICS OPINION WHO EVALUATE THE TRUCK SAID NO OTHER MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WERE DETECTED OTHER THAN THE WHEEL STUDS SHEARING OFF TO CAUSE THIS ACCIDENT. I HAVE KEPT THE DAMAGED WHEEL STUDS AND HAD ALL WHEEL STUDS REPLACED ON THE TRUCK. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM TO WARN OTHERS OF THE POSSIBLE TROUBLE. HOPEFULLY YOU WILL PREVENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT OURS ENDED WITHOUT A SERIOUS CONSEQUENCE. I HAVE LISTED THE NUMBER OF FAILURES TO BE 5 SINCE ALL THE STUDS SHEARED OFF. 911 WAS CALLED BUT NO STATE OFFICER RESPONDED TO THE INCIDENT. A 911 CALL SHOULD BE ON TAPE. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT THE 99 F-150 USED. I'VE OWNED IT FOR 2 YEARS AND IN THOSE TWO YEARS SPENT OVER 3000 DOLLARS REPAIRING IT. I CANT HANDLE THE THOUGHT OF KEEPING A TRUCK THAT COST SO MUCH IN REPAIRS. AND NOW THE DEALER TELLS ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS IS ONE WEEK AFTER I SPENT OVER 500 REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS, FUEL FILTER, AND GETTING THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED. I HAVE ONLY 58,000 MILES ON THE THING AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE PLUGS DON'T NEED TO BE TOUCHED FOR 100,000 MILES. WELL IT WAS MISSING AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK SLAMS INTO GEAR BETWEEN 1 AND 2, AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS MY TRANSMISSION IS BAD. AT 58,000 MILES? AND I'VE NEVER EVEN TOWED ANYTHING. JUST REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR? I THINK THESE TRUCKS MUST BE LEMONS. AFTER I GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED, I'LL HAVE SPENT $5,600 IN A TWO YEAR SPAN. I HAVE TO SELL IT BECAUSE THE REPAIRS ARE MORE THAN THE PAYMENT. I GUESS THAT'S WHY IT WAS SOLD TO ME WHEN IT WAS ONLY TWO YEARS. OLD. *NLM
