SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM SHOPPING MY BRAKES (ANTI-LOCK STYLE) LOCKED UP AND VIOLENTLY SHOOK MY VEHICLE ALL OVER THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING ON. I HAD LIMITED OR NO CONTROL AT ALL OF THIS INCIDENT. WAS DOING ABOUT 40 MPH. TRUCK ACTED AS IF BRAKES WERE APPLIED ON AND OFF 50/60 TIMES SO FAST THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO BUT HANG ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. AT ONE POINT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FLIP OVER AS THE TRUCK WENT SIDEWAYS. STEERING WENT FROM SIDE TO SIDE AT FIRST, THEN A CONSTANT PULL TO THE RIGHT. I THOUGHT ONE OF MY FRONT TIRES WAS BLOWN OUT. SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO GAIN SOME CONTROL BUT IT TOOK MY TRUCK OVER A CURB AND STOPPED ON A SIDEWALK AND SOME GRASS. WHEN I DID APPLY THE BRAKES NOTHING HAPPENED UNTIL I WAS ON THE SIDEWALK AND GOING VERY SLOW BY THIS TIME. GOT OUT AND INSPECTED MY TRUCK FOR DAMAGE BUT SAW NOTHING. WAS ONLY ABOUT .3 MILES FROM HOME SO I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND LIMED IT HOME AT WALKING SPEED. WHEN I TRIED TO GO A LITTLE FASTER IT WOULD START JUMPING AND SHAKING AGAIN. GOT IT HOME AND THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON. IT WAS NOT ON WHEN I STARTED HOME FROM THE STORE. THIS HAPPENED SO FAST THAT I AM GLAD NO ONE WAS IN ANOTHER LANE. THIS HAPPENED ON A 3 LANE EACH DIRECTION ROAD. ALL THIS OCCURRED ON JULY 4TH AT ABOUT 10:47 A.M.

STEERING
2010 FORD F-250 WITH A HORRIBLE SHIMMY BETWEEN 60 AND 65 MPH. BECOMES VIOLENT SHAKING AFTER GOING OVER SMALL BUMBS IN ROAD, AND UNABLE TO STEER. TO STOP THIS I HAD TO SLOW BELOW 50 MPH. CURRENTLY 82000 MILES HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. NO ONE AT FORD SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. SEARCH ON THE INTRANET APPEARS TO DESCRIBE IT AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE".

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT IS NOT GUARDED. POOR DESIGN, I HAVE A FLEET OF FORD TRUCKS. I HAVE A 2010 F250 CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP, FORD HAS A FACTORY SHIELD COVERING THE EXPOSED FUEL LINES. FORD IS ALSO NOT COVERING THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TRUCK WITH THIS DAMAGE. FUEL WAS SPRAYING ON THE EXHAUST FOR A WHILE BEFORE IT DIED.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED NO POWER WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A STATE HIGHWAY. ACCELERATION WAS EXTREMELY SLOW AND CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC, WHICH WAS VERY FAR AWAY WHEN I INITIAL PULLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND AT RANDOM. THE VEHICLE COULD ONLY REACH 40 MPH ON FLAT HIGHWAY AND WHILE DRIVING ON MOUNTAIN ROADS, THIS WOULD DECREASE TO A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 20 MPH. THIS WOULD CREATE A SIGNIFICANTLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ON WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AND

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH ON CITY STREET "STOP SAFELY NOW" APPEARED ON THE DASH SCREEN. WITHIN A FEW SECOND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, WHICH ELIMINATED THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING, WHILE STILL AT 35 MPH. THIS MADE THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND STOP. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE ANY EGT SENSOR FAILURE.

RADIATOR LEAK AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. I JUST BOUGHT A USED FORD F250 DIESEL FX4 LARIAT. NICE TRUCK BUT NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SO FAR. IT HAD 128K ON IT. JUST NOTICED TODAY THAT EVERY TIME I FILL THE RESIVOIR IT LEAKS OUT. LOOKS LIKE THE RADIATOR LEAKING WHERE THE PLASTIC AND ALUMINUM MEET. OVER A THOUSAND INSTALLED. THEN THE WHINE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BELT ENDED UP BEING BROKE OFF EXHAUST BOLTS ON MANIFOLD. 16 HRS AT $1300 PLUS PARTS MAYBE ANOTHER $130. NOT HAPPY WITH THIS FORD AT ALL. SAD THAT'S WHAT MY LAST FOUR VEHICLES WERE.

HOSE TO RADIATOR LEAKING, TOOK TO FORD DEALER, THEY SAID NEW HOSES AND NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR. SAID IT WAS STILL UNDER FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY. FORD WARRANTY DENIED THE NEW RADIATOR AND HOSES SAYING THAT THE HOSE LEAK CRACKED THE RADIATOR AND THAT WAS THE OWNERS FAULT. TRUCK HAS JUST UNDER 44K MILES AND IS GARAGED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WHAT GOOD IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, FIRST. AND SECOND, WHY SHOULD A RADIATOR GO BAD IN SHORT TIME. QUOTE FOR JOB WAS OVER $2000.00.
