SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
I HAD PARKED MY TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY. I PUT IT IN PARK, SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AS I STEPPED OUT OF THE TRUCK THE TRUCK ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY DRAGGING ME ABOUT 100 FT STIKING THE POWER POLE AT THE END OF THE DIVEWAY. THE POLE WAS ROTTED AND FELL ON THE TRUCK CRUSHING ME BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 THE HANDLE WOULD NOT OPEN THE TAIL GATE WE WERE PULLING OUR 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. WE WERE ABLE TO RAISE THE CAMPER HIGHER THAN THE TAIL GATE TO HOOK UP THE CAMPER. WE TOOK IT TO FORD IT WAS DIAGNOSIS AND SAID THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS AROUND $278.90. WE SAW THE NEXT WE WERE CAMPING IN THE SAME CAMP GROUND AFTER OUR REPAIRS WERE MADE ANOTHER FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY NOT SURE WHAT YEAR IT WAS BUT IT LOOKED AS IF IT WAS A 2010 THE OWNER WAS ALSO HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE TAIL GATE OPEN ON HIS TRUCK BUT HE WAS HAULING A TAG ALONG CAMPER. IS THERE ANY RECALL PROBLEMS WITH THE TAIL GATES ON THESE TRUCKS. THIS WAS AT 80331 MILES. WE ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TRACK BAR AND TRACK BAR BALL JOINT AND DRAG LINK . WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE F SERIES SUPER DUTY. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS. THIS WAS DONE IN JUNE OF 2017 WITH 100778 MILES. WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT END WOULD SHAKE SO BAD THAT YOU HAD TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND LET THE TRUCK SLOW DOWN BY ITSELF. IT HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED AND AT 70 MPH WITH ME ONE DAD IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT WHEELS WERE GOING TO BOUNCE RIGHT OFF THE TRUCK AND VERY SCARY FOR A WOMEN I WAS AFRAID TO PUT ON THE BRAKES SO IT WAS A RUFF RIDE TILL IT SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS WAS AT A COST OF$1,133.32. IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET A FEED BACK ON THIS INFORMATION IF POSSIBLE.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVING 50-60 HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK GOES INTO A VIOLENT WOBBLE, UNABLE TO CONTROL THE BREAKS AND STEERING. THIS LAST TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT CAUSED ME TO ENTER THE LANE NEXT TO ME NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS ABLE TO AVOID ME. WHEN THE SHAKING STOPS, THE TRUCK RUNS SMOOTH WITHOUT ANY SIGN OF A PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID OF MY FAMILIES SAFETY!!!

WHEELS
WENT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, UPON DOING A WALK AROUND I CHECKED THE TIRES AND NOTICED THAT ALL FOR TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAD SPLITS IN THE SIDEWALLS. THE SPLITS ARE ABOUT A 1/4 TO 1/2" FROM THE EDGE OF THE WHEEL NEAR THE BEAD OF THE TIRE. THE SPLITS ARE NOT CONTINUOUS BUT REACH NEARLY ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRE FOLLOWING THE LINE OF THE WHEEL/TIRE BEAD. AT INITIAL INSPECTION IT LOOKED AS IF THE TIRES HAD BEEN CUT, AFTER LOOKING AT ALL FOR TIRES AND ALL OF THEM HAVING THE SAME CRACKS/SPLITS YOU COULD TELL THAT IT WAS NOT CUT AND RATHER THE RUBBER SPLITTING. THE TIRES HAVE NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TREAD OR SIDEWALL FROM CURBS AND OR ROCKS/ROUGH ROADS. THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED AND USED FOR APPROX. 4 MONTHS WITH 3,363 MILES PUT ON THEM SINCE INSTALLED. SIZE - 245/75/17, LOAD RANGE - E, BRAND/MODEL - HERCULES TERRA TRAC T/G MAX

ENGINE
THE CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS ARE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THEY USED INFERIOR QUALITY GASKETS WHICH RESULT IN ENGINE MALFUNCTION. THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT PERTAINS TO A 2001 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY 5.4L V8. I AM AWARE THIS ISSUE BECAME PREVALENT IN 1999 FORD F-250 MODELS AND THIS ISSUE CARRIED FORWARD TO 2001. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR 1999 MODELS - $4,500 PER UNIT TO REPLACE COMPLETE ENGINE ASSEMBLIES WHERE THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT WAS MOST PREVALENT WITH CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS. FORD DID NOT RECTIFY THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT PERSISTED IN THEIR 2001 MODELS. A RECALL IS NECESSARY TO RECTIFY THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT.
