SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE A 1995 FORD F-250 SUPER CAB 4X4 ON MANY INSTANCES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HIT A MINOR BUMP AND MY TRUCK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE SO BAD I HAVE TO PULL OVER. FORD HAS TOLD ME TO GET AN ALIGNMENT AND THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, I DID AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS ON DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT ON A VAST RANGE OF YEARS. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
1995 FORD F250 7.3L TURBO DIESEL : CAM POSITION SENSOR FAILED AFTER NUMEROUS, WORSENING EXPERIENCES WITH ERRATIC ENGINE PERFORMANCE. SENSOR REPLACED BY DEALER ON 12/07/2006 WITH TRUCK BARELY ABLE TO CONTINUE RUNNING. THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME, BUT I AM NOW OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AGAIN. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS NAVISTAR ENGINE. MANY FORD VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED AS A RESULT, BUT MINE HAS NOT, DESPITE NUMEROUS VEHICLES OF MY MODEL YEAR (1995) EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
SEVERE CORROSION OF BRAKE LINES THAT CONNECT CALIPERS AND CYLINDERS TO TEE FITTINGS RESULTS IN THE RUPTURE OF THE METAL LINES AND RESULTS IN THE COMPLETE AND IMMEDIATE LOSS OF THE NORMAL BRAKE SYSTEM. THE LATEST FAILURE IS THE BRAKE LINE THAT CONNECTS MASTER CYCLINDER TO PROPORTIONING VALVE. I HAVE REPLACED THE FORWARD AND REAR BRAKE LINES 3 (THREE) TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE TRUCK IN 1995. THE LOSS OF THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD.

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
RECENTLY WHEN I GOT IN MY 1995 F250 W/MANUAL TRANSMISSION I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO START IT UP & THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD & STAYED THERE. WHAT I FOUND AFTER INSPECTING THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS THAT THE END OF THE ROD THAT GOES INTO THE MASTER CLUTCH CYLINDER BROKE (THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE PEDDLE). THIS ROD APPEARS TO BE PLASTIC ON THE END & METAL GOING INTO THE MASTER CYLINDER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WAS DRIVING THIS TRUCK AND THIS ROD BROKE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO STOP QUICKLY (OR STOP AT ANY TIME) THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP SINCE THE CLUTCH WOULDN'T HAVE ENGAGED. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THIS PART AS EVIDENCE IF NEEDED.*AK
