ENGINE
THE TRUCK THAT I OWN HAS NO ACCIDENTS, NO DAMAGES, 75K MILES ON IT AND THE RADIATOR IS PREMATURELY FAILING. THIS COOLANT LEAK ON THE LOWER DRIVER'S SIDE IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THE PART.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHEN USING DELAY WIPERS OR HARD RAIN VISION IS IMPAIRED AS THE WIPER RETURNS TO HOME POSITION. A HUGE POOL OF WATER IS PULLED BACK ACROSS WINDOW IMPAIRING VISION. DEALER REPLACED WIPERS, WAXED WINDOW NO HELP. WE DROVE OTHER VEHICLES ON LOT, THEY DO THE SAME THING. DEALER ACID WASHED THE WINDOW, WHICH MAKES IT EVEN WORSE. I HAVE A BLURRED VISION LIKE WHEN YOU SEE HEAT OFF THE ROAD IN THE HORIZON. VISION IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING INTO SUNLIGHT OR AT NIGHT WHEN HEAD LIGHTS HIT THE WINDOW. FORD WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO FIX. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A OVER A MONTH NOW. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 2400 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. I HAVE WORKED IN THE AUTO MFG BUSINESS SINCE 1989 IN QUALITY CONTROL WITH SOME PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH WIPERS AND WINDSHIELDS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SEVERAL TIMES, AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, GENERALLY AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH, I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN EXTREME "SHIMMY" IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING LIMITED CONTROL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND AFTER REPLACING SEVERAL PARTS THEY WERE STILL NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP AND HAD SEVERAL OTHER PARTS REPLACED AND STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. BALANCING AND TIRE PRESSURE HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE DEALER AS WELL AS OTHER CERTIFIED MECHANICS. DUE TO THE LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN THIS WOBBLE OCCURS, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I CURRENTLY HAVE 122,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND IT'S ALL STOCK, EVEN THE TIRES ARE THE SAME TYPE AS OEM. FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND ABOUT 60,000 MILES I CONTINUALLY HAVE THE SAME DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON; HILL DECENT CONTROL & ADVANCED TRACK. THE BAD PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT THEY DON'T JUST COME ON AND REMAIN AS ACTIVE SYSTEM WARNINGS, THEY WILL FLASH ON, ALERT ME, THEN GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON. SO WHEN I CLICK "OK" TO SILENCE THEM, THEY ONLY STAY SILENCED FOR THAT OCCURRENCE. SO WHEN THEY GO OFF THEN COME BACK ON, IT ALERTS ME AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I'VE BEEN ON ROAD TRIPS WHERE IT WILL CONTINUE THIS THE ENTIRE ROAD TRIP. THERE IS NO ESTABLISHED OR AVERAGE TIME THAT THE STAY ON, IT'S RANDOM. WHEN THESE ALERTS APPEAR, WHILE THEY ARE ACTIVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. I DON'T GET AN ALERT THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE IN FAULT, I JUST GET A DASHBOARD LIGHT. SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THE AIRBAGS AREN'T WORKING WHILE THESE FAULTS ARE ACTIVE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY CLAIM THAT NO FAULT CODES APPEAR AND THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I'VE EVEN HAD A DEALERSHIP TRY TO CHARGE ME FOR THIS. I TOOK IT TO ONE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE A $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO ATTEMPT TO FIND IT. I MENTIONED THE SAFETY ISSUE BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. UPON REQUEST I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF MY DASH WHILE THEY ARE ACTIVE AND POSSIBLY DEALERSHIP RECEIPTS WHERE THEY DOCUMENTED IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRUCK BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE PARKED. IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR OVER 13 HOURS AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE. IT DESTROYED ONE CAR ON EITHER SIDE OF IT. THE FIRE INVESTIGATOR COULD NOT SAY EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE AT THE TIME, BUT MADE ME AWARE OF A RECALL ON THAT YEAR OF FORD VEHICLES INVOLVING THE SPEED CONTROL SAFETY DEACTIVATION SWITCH. INFORMATION ON THE RECALL SAYS THAT THE WIRE COULD HEAT UP AND CAUSE A FIRE. THE TRUCK ALONG WITH TWO OTHER VEHICLES WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED IN THE FIRE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK IT HAS STOPPED RUNNING AND JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF LIKE ITS NOT GETTING FUEL. I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THE F250 SUPER DUTY AND MY TRUCK IS RESPONDING EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT DUE TO SOMEONE HITTING ME OR IT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT SO I LOOKED ON HERE TODAY AND SAW THE RECALL FOR THE SUPER DUTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SOMEONE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I TRIED TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO GET FUEL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I AM VERY LUCKY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS BACK FAR ENOUGH THAT I TURNED ON MY FLASHERS AND THEY NOTICED OR I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE.
