STEERING
WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED I HIT A BUMP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD TO GAIN CONTROL. CONTINUED DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE STRUCK ANOTHER POT HOLE AND VEHICLE AGAIN WENT INTO A VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKE. I AGIAN HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE NHTSA NEED TO GO TO THE FORD FORUM AND READ THE STORIES ABOUT THE FRONT END WOBBLES, SHIMMY, AND SHAKING BY THE F250 AND F350S, THER ARE MANY NEAR MISS INCIDENTS THAT IF THEY OCCUR THESE VEHICLES ARE TO BIG FOR THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE OPPPSITE LANES TO SURVIVE. THE ISSUE STARTED AT ABOUT 6000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AT 14,000 MILES AND AT 20,000 MILES WITH NO FIX PROVIDED. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
TRAVELING ON BUMPY ROADS AT 55 TO 60 MPH THE FRONT END WILL START TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I HAD TO BRAKE AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN A DAY AND I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO A FORD DEALER IN MINNESOTA. THIS DEALERSHIP PUT A DAMPENER ON THE FRONT END AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED AGAIN IN JAN OF 2013. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SHAKE AND I FEEL IT WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT IF NOT RESOLVED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I DROVE THRU 12" OF SNOW ON MY ROAD TO MY HOME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKING POWER AT ALL. I CHECKED IF THERE WAS ANY LEAKS AND THERE WERE NONE. THE TEMP WAS ABOUT 20 DEGREES AT THIS TIME. I WAITED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE TEMP WAS AT 30 DEGREES AND TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THEY WERE AT FULL STRENGTH. I CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF PROBLEM BEFORE. I CALLED FORD CUST CARE DEPT AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DUPLICATE THE BRAKE ISSUE TO REPAIR IT.. AT THIS POINT NEITHER DEALER OR FORD IS WILLING TO DRILL DOWN TO FIND OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
2002 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A STRONG DIESEL FUEL ODOR AND FINDING FUEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE DIESEL ENGINE WAS DESIGNED WITH COPPER SLEEVES OR CUPS AROUND THE FUEL INJECTORS. THE PURPOSE OF THE CUPS WERE TO SEPARATE THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM FROM THE PRESSURIZED FUEL SYSTEM. OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, THE ENGINE COOLANT REACTED WITH THE COPPER CUPS AND CREATED SMALL PIN HOLES OR CRACKS IN THE INJECTOR CUPS. SINCE THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS PRESSURIZED IT INJECTED DIESEL FUEL INTO THE COOLANT CIRCULATING IN THE ENGINE. EVENTUALLY THE DIESEL FUEL CAME OUT OF THE RADIATOR OVERFLOW AND ALL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SINCE THERE WAS NO WAY TO TELL, WHICH INJECTOR CUP WAS BAD, ALL OF THEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE COOLANT HOSES AND THE RADIATOR WOULD NEED TO BE FLUSHED. THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN APART, THE HEADS WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED AND THE INJECTOR CUPS REPLACE.*JB UPDATED 02/13/13
