STEERING
THE FRONT END VIBRATES AND OSCILLATES WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 50 MPH. THERE IS MORE SLACK IN THE STEERING, AND I HAVE TO SPEED UP ABOVE 50 MPH OR SLOW DOWN BELOW 30 MPH OR JERK THE WHEEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN ORDER TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE TRUCK. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN CHECKED, AND FROM RESEARCHING, IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A FAULTY STEERING BOX, BUT FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT. *TR

OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM AS THIS IS A SMALL TOWN AND NOT THAT MANY FORD PICKUPS AROUND. 2 OPTIONS TO FIX REPLACE THE HEADS OR RETAP. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
THE EGR VALVE IS A DEFECTIVE PART ON MY 06 SUPER-DUTY IT HAS OVER HEATED ON ME THE LAST TWO TIMES I TOOK MY RV OUT ,AFTER CHECKING OUT AFTER MARKET PARTS STORES I SEE THEY HAVE ONE AVAILABLE THAT KEEPS IT RUNNING COOL. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH ITS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT ITS A DEFECTIVE PART ALONG WITH THE WEAK HEAD BOLTS. I ALSO HEARD THAT LAST YEAR IN 2009 THAT FORD STARTED REPAIRING THE EGR ON VEHICLES THAT WERE BROUGHT IN THAT HAVE FACTORY WARRANTY ON THEM. MY QUESTION IS WHY NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ! ! ! ! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2001 FORD F250 WITH A 6.8L V10. IT HAS 149,489 MILES ON IT. I AM NO SHADE TREE MECHANIC, I HAVE REBUILT ENGINES, TRANSMISSIONS AND TROUBLE SHOOT CPU?S . I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT THEN MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN. AS SOON AS I MADE THE TURN THE #4 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT. MY FATHER HAS A 2002 F250 WITH THE 6.8L V10 AND HIS BLEW OUT THE #1 AND ABOUT 300 MILES LATER IT BLEW OUT THE #5 PLUG. IT CAUGHT ON FIRE WHEN IT BLEW OUT THE #5. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!! THERE HAVE BEEN TO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAUSE IS NOT DUE TO INCORRECT TORQUE ON THE PLUG. BUT DUE TO A COMBINATION OF TWO THINGS, 1. THE AMOUNT OF THREADS THAT HOLD THE PLUG IN PLACE.2 THE AMOUNT OF COMPRESSION THAT THE ENGINE PRODUCES. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
FORD F250 STEERING OSCILLATION. I KNOW THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION, AND THE MATTER IS NOW CLOSED, BUT HOW CAN THIS BE. THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS THE CURE ALL? I CURRENTLY HAVE THE STOCK TIRES STILL, AND SET TO THE FACTORY REQUESTED PRESSURE. AND IT WILL GIVE ME "DEATH WOBBLE" MANY TIMES IN THE COURSE OF THE TRIP. TO THE POINT THAT I EVEN HAVE TO PULL OVER TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE THE ENTIRE FRONT END CHECKED OUT BY A SHOP AND THE REPORT WAS THERE IS NO WORN OUT PARTS. IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT TRE STYLE BALL JOINTS DONT WORK WELL AS TRACK BAR ENDS, YET FORD KEEPS USING THEM. THE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ARE NOT WRONG. I AM AFRAID THE LET ME PARENTS DRIVE THE TRUCK AND THEY WERE THE MAIN REASON WE PURCHASED IT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
MY 2005 FORD F-250 6.0L DIESEL LOST ACCELERATION ONTO A HIGHWAY. IT STALLED AND STARTED BILLOWING WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS IT SLOWLY ACCELERATED, BUT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS CARS RAN UP ONTO US. THE ENGINE WAS MISSING AND WE MADE IT TO AN INTERSECTION TO PULL OFF OF HIGHWAY. WE STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT STARTED RUNNING NORMALLY. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONCE WE WERE ON THE ROAD. WE MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED "FICM FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE." THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THEM MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS MODEL. I DID FIND REFERENCE TO A RECALL (FORD RECALL NO. 05S34) OF THE EXACT NATURE ON A DIFFERENT YEAR MODEL. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE THE COST OF THE PART AND LABOR OF $1100. *TR
