UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE IGNITION SWITCH GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND DOES NOT RELEASE TO THE NORMAL POSITION. GETTING STUCK CAUSES THE HEATER AND THE RADIO OR ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICE INSIDE THE VEHICLE NOT TO WORK. TO MAKE THESE DEVICES WORK, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN THE IGNITION ONE NOTCH TOWARDS THE DRIVER. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HAS A HISSING SOUND UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE ,HAS BEEN GIVING US UPSET STOMACHS AND SOMETIMES HEAD ACHES,JUST PLAIN SICK FEELING, WHEN THE AC AND DEFROST ARE ON. ALSO FROM END ABS SEEMS TO ENGAGE WHEN GOING AROUND A BEND AND THEN SUPPOSEDLY THE AUTO CORRECT KICKS IN AND TRIES TO CORRECT THE TRUCK PULLING STEERING WHEEL. WAS TOLD THEY TESTED ONE TRUCK AND IT DID IT ONE TIME,THIS IS AFTER THEY PUT IN COUNTLESS HRS ON LABOR PLUS A $1000 INTO A NEW STEERING COLUMN AND DETERMINED THAT IT IS NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION. DIDN'T BUY IT FOR THIS GOD FOR SAKE NOISE . AS FOR THE HISSING,TOLD ME TO DETAIL THE TRUCK AND THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYMORE FOR THIS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE FIRST WEEK OF BUYING THIS TRUCK. OVER AND OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP,THEY KEEP PUTTING NEW PARTS ON. IF THIS IS NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS,THAN WHY DON'T THEY KNOW WHAT TO REPLACE AND KEEP PUTTING MORE TEST AND PARTS. NO ANSWER ON THE HISSING SOUND AND VERY VERY RUDE MANAGERS AT DEALERSHIP.

ENGINE
MY TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. THE LIGHTS COME AND IT THROWS NO CODES AT ALL. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS OF 50 OR LESS. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER IT STILL DIES JUST THE ENGINE. I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE INVESTIGATION BY THE GOVERNMENT AT ALL. AND AS I GO ONLINE MANY PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING THE SAME FATE TO WHERE PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS... I WANT ANSWERS!!! WE NEED ANSWERS AS THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE ENGINE JUST DIES BUT I DON'T LOSE ELECTRICAL POWER, BUT I DO LOSE STEERING AND IT'S VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE TRUCK AT THESE TIMES. FORD DENIES EVERYTHING AND WILL NOT HELP AT ALL WITHOUT MONEY IN HAND!!! THIS IS WRONG... WE NEED GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND HELP!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY COMPLAINT IS FORD HAS NO WARNING SYSTEM BEFORE IT DOES $7800.00 DAMAGE. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO FORD MOTOR CORP. AND ITS NOT COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY MY CASE NUMBER IS CAS11721824. THE FORD DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO SAID FORD USED TO HAVE A DESIGN FEATURE TO SHUT DOWN MOTOR BEFORE IT DID DAMAGE TO FUEL SYSTEM BUT THE EPA HAD THEM REMOVE IT AND FORD NEVER PUT ANYTHING IN TO REPLACE THE WARNING FEATURE. ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I HAD CONTAMINATED FUEL THAT BY PASSED THE FILTERS THAT I HAD CHANGED ACCORDING TO FORDS RECOMMENDATIONS. I HAVE A REPORT FROM THE STATE OF ARKANSAS BUREAU OF STANDARDS PETROLEUM DIVISION AND THE FUEL ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THE DIESEL WAS NOT CONTAMINATED FROM THE LAST PLACE I FUELED UP. I REGULARLY USE THE SAME AUTO LUBE TO SERVICE MY TRUCK AND WAS NEVER TOLD I HAD EXCESSIVELY DIRTY FUEL FILTERS AND ONLY HAD 7000 MILES ON THE LAST FUEL FILTER CHANGE BEFORE MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AND FORD HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WHY HAVEN'T THEY IMPLEMENTED A SAFETY FEATURE TO PROTECT THE FUEL SYSTEM BEFORE IT DOES EXTENSIVE DAMAGE COSTING THE CONSUMER THIS MUCH TO REPAIR?

STEERING
DRIVING 60 - 65MPH,WHEN I RAN OVER DIPS OR BUMPS IN THE HWY MY STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END STARTED SHAKING AND SHIMMING VIOLENTLY AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I DID NOT APPLY BRAKES BUT DID TAKE FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL AND WHEN TRUCK SPEED REACHED 40MPH VIOLENT SHAKES STOPPED. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT HOWEVER IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN OVER ALL BUMPS OR DIPS. IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY FEB-19 2017 WHEN WE WERE PULLING OUR HORSE TRAILER AT A SPEED OF 62MPH. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 50,200 MILES SO IT SHOULD NOT BE WORN OUT. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THE FORD ENGINEERS DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS SO DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOOSE CONTROL WHICH WOULD BE DISASTROUS WHEN PULLING A HORSE TRAILER LIKE WE DO. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER HOWEVER I BET THEY WILL CHARGE ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO TRY TO FIX WHATEVER AILS THIS TRUCK WHICH I BELIEVE IS UNFAIR SINCE FORD HIRES TOP ENGINEERS TO BUILD SAFE TRUCKS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
MY F-250 HAS HAD EVERY BRAKE CALIPER LOCK UP AND CAUSE TOTAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE AND REPAIR. STARTING AT 40K MILES IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE DESIGN IF EVERY CALIPER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. MY SHOP DID A REPAIR HISTORY SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2009S HAD A HIGHER FAILURE RATE THAN OTHER YEARS. I ALSO HAD THE MANIFOLD WARP AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT JUST 40K MILES. THANKS - DAN
