TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I OBSERVE THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ISSUES BY GOODYEAR (NHTSA 12T0030000) AND SINCE I OWN A 4 WHEEL SET OF THOSE TIRES ON MY FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY, I NOTICED THAT MY SIZE WASN'T LISTED. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY SET OF SILENT ARMOR TIRES IN THAT THEY CAN NOT BE BALANCED AS THEY SHOULD BE AND VERY PRONOUNCED CRACKS HAVE APPEARED ON THE SIDE WALLS CLOSE TO THE TREAD LINE. I LIMIT MY SPEED TO NO MORE THAN 50MPH. MY TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER, 2009 AND IF I COULD CRAWL UNDER MY TRUCK IN SEARCH OF THE PRODUCTION DATES, I'M SURE THEY WOULD BE IN OR CLOSE TO THE LISTED PRODUCTION DATES. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE SILENT ARMOR PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY AND SHOULD NOT BE RECALLED IN SUCH A NARROW DATE RANGE OR SIZE RANGE. PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL TO ALL SIZES AND A BROADER PRODUCTION DATE RANGE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
EGR AND OIL COOLER FAILURE...CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE AND HYDROLOCK SITUATION. THE ENGINE STOPPED THE TRUCK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE $2542.42. SURE WOULD BE NICE FOR FORD TO HAVE A HAND IN THE REPAIRS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN. I HAVE READ 100'S OF REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS AND FORD STILL WILL NOT FIX OR HELP PAY FOR THEIR ENGINE. FORD REFUSED TO HELP WITH REPAIR COST. I ONLY HAVE 98000K MILES. PLEASE LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THESE COMPLAINTS. I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION. I AM SURE THAT THE LOBBYIST AT FORD ARE DOING THEIR JOB TO KEEP THIS FROM BECOMING A RECALL SITUATION. IT IS HURTING NO ONE BUT THE OWNERS OF THIS 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP! *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN MY 2006 F250 SD, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE HORN HONKED AND STAYED ON (NOT LIKE HONK HONK BUT LIKE HHHHOOONNNKK) I HAD TO STOP AND PULL THE FUSE TO GET THE HORN TO TURN OFF. IT IS A SAFETY RISK DUE THE WAY OTHER DRIVERS GET STARTLED BUY THIS SUDDEN NOISE. AND MAY VERY WELL CAUSES AND ACCIDENT OR KILL SOME ONE IF IT HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT IS HAPPENS ALOT IN THE 03-06 F250, AND WHEN FORD FIXED MY TRUCK THEY REPLACED THE FUSE BOX, DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG AND HORN ASSEMBLY(AT A COST OF 1486.80). STATING THAT IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. SO MY LIFE COULD HAVE VERY MUCH BEEN IN DANGER......... THANKS FORD... *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, HEARD A LOAD BANG AND THEN A STEADY POPPING SOUND. AFTER PULLING OFF ROAD TO CHECK PROBLEM OPEN THE HOOD TO SEE THE COIL EXPLODED AND ARCHING AGAINST FUEL RAIL, AND SPARK PLUG ON THE VALVE COVER. GOT THE TRUCK HOME STARTED RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM YET FORD SAYS IT ISN'T. MY BEST EDUCATED REPAIR SOLUTION IS CAL VAN 38900 FORD 5.4L SPARK PLUG PORT REPAIR KIT AT A COST OF 250 . IT TOOK A DAY AND A HALF TO DO A COMPLETE REPAIR. SEEMS TO BE WORKING BUT FORD HAS A PROBLEM AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING FOR THE OWNERS SHOULD IT HAPPEN. THEY CANT SAY THIS IS A TORQUE ISSUE THIS ARE THE FACTORY PLUGS AND COIL. SO IF THEY TORQUE THEM WRONG AT THE FACTORY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FORD F-250 4X4 FORD RECALL 11S21(NHTSA 11V385) FUEL TANK STRAP CORROSION INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT WAS CONDUCTED. THE FUEL TANK WAS ALSO FOUND TO BE RUSTED UNDER THE STRAP AREA ONLY. AFTER THE OLD STRAPS WERE REMOVED THE TANK STARTED TO LEAK FUEL AND FORD NOR THE DEALER WOULD REPLACE THE TANK. IF THE STRAPS ARE COVERED FOR CORROSION THEN THE TANK SHOULD BE ALSO DUE TO THE CORROSION TRANSFERRING TO THE TANK SURFACE. THE DEALER PLACED NEW STRAPS OVER A RUSTED TANK. THE TRUCK WILL NEED OVER $1200.00 IN REPAIRS FOR SAFE OPERATION AND TO REMEDY THE NOW LEAKING FUEL. *TR

POWER TRAIN
TWICE I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TAPPING NOISE. THE NOISE SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN ITS REALLY COLD OUTSIDE OR VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN RUN FOR COUPLE DAYS. THE NOISE LASTS ABOUT 10 SECONDS THAN GOES AWAY. OF COURSE DEALERSHIP AND FORD SAID THE VEHICLE IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. YESTERDAY, I NOTICED A STRONG BURNING SMELL LIKE A CLUTCH WAS GOING OUT, ONLY PROBLEM IS MINE IS AN AUTOMATIC. TRUCK ONLY HAS 50K MILES AND I STARTED HAVING THE TAPPING NOISE AROUND 32K MILES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE ABOVE VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE INCLUDING SUCH THINGS AS THE EGR COOLER, THE EGR VALVE (TWICE), THE FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MOD (FICM), THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL REGULATOR SCREEN, (A .10 CENT PIECE 450.00 LABOR). IF YOU WILL SEARCH THIS ENGINE FROM 2003 TO 2007 YOU WILL FIND HUNDRED IF NOT THOUSAND OF POST BY OWNERS OF THE 6.0 POWERSTROKE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER. FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP ANYONE AND THEY TOLD ME IN AN EMAIL YOU WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN MAKE THEM HAVE A RECALL. I HOPE YOU WILL STEP UP AND HELP ALL OF US. FORD FILED SUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURE (INTERNATION/ NAVISTAR) OVER THIS ENGINES PROBLEMS BACK IN 2004 BUT THEY KEPT SELLING IT KNOWING IT HAD PROBLEMS THAT WOULD BE LEFT UP TO THE BUYERS OF THE VEHICLES, I WAS PERSONALLY TOLD BY A SALESMAN TO EXPECT 350,000 MILES FROM THIS ENGINE. IF YOU CAN NOT HELP ME AND THE OTHERS CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ELSE I CAN DO? WILL IT TAKE LEGAL ACTION OR IS THERE ANOTHER PATH I CAN TAKE? *TR
