SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
AT ABOUT EVERY 7000 MILE INCREMENTS MY BRAKES BEGIN TO EXHIBIT "BRAKE SHUDDER" A VIBRATION THAT OCCURS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. NOT UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN AND SHOW MY FORD DEALER WAS I ABLE TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. FOLLOWNG IS THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: SOME 1999-2000 SUPER DUTY F-SERIES AND 2000 EXCURSIONS MAY EXHIBIT BRAKE VIBRATION OR SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING. ENGINEERING HAS RELEASED A NEW BRAKE PAD (P/N F81Z-2001-EA), WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH A "V-SPRING." THE V-SPRING KEEPS THE BRAKE PAD OFF THE ROTOR, WHICH INCREASES BRAKE PAD LIFE AND DECREASES BRAKE SHUDDER AND NOISE. WHEN REPLACING THESE BRAKE PAD USE THE PRO-CUT BRAKE LATHE TO MACHINE THE ROTORS ON THE VEHICLE TO A LATERAL RUN-OUT OF .001" OR LESS. BESIDES THE SHUDDER THE THING THAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THE VEHICLE STARTS TO PULL TO LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. THANK YOU FOR YOU CONSIDERATION ON THIS ISSUE.L. *AK

WHEN TOWING TRAILER AND OR WHEN CARRYING WEIGHT IN THE REAR OF THE BOX, UPON HITTING A LARGE BUMP OR A SMALLER ROLLER TYPE BUMP THE TRUCK SWERVES LEFT AND RIGHT AND THE STEERING SEEMS TO PULL SOMEWHAT. THE SERVICING LOCAL DELER SAID THERE IS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR THE F-250, ONLY FOR THE F-350 AND UP . THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT ORDER THE PARTS TO FIX MINE BECAUSE FORD HAS NOT GIVEN APPROVAL FOR THIS. THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM FORD CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM , I BELIEVE IS TSB99-8-2. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, INTERIOR LIGHTING, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS TRUCK HAS MANY PROBLEMS. STRARTING WITH THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT, THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUCK THERE IS A DISTINCTIVE "CLUNK" WHEN PUT INTO GEAR; EITHER FORWARD OR REVERSE. THEN GOING INTERIOR; THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT COMES ON IT THINKS THAT THE DOORS ARE NOT SHUT, BUT YOU CAN SLAM ALL 4 DOORS SHUT AND IT STILL THINKS THE DOORS ARE "AJAR" SO THAT WILL KEEP THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL GO OUT IF YOU GET UP TO ABOUT 20 MPH, THEN WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 20MPH IT WILL COME BACK ON. THE "WARNING BELL" COMES ON AND STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF. NEXT THE SEAT BELTS WILL SOME TIMES WORK AND SOME TIMES NOT. EITHER THE ARE HARD TO PULL OUT OR THEY WILL NOT RETRACT. THE TAILGATE COVER HAS WARPED IN NOT EVEN 1 YEAR AFTER WE HAD IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
WE'VE BEEN PREVIOUS NEW FORD TRK OWNERS - AND HAVE NEVER ENTAILED SUCH A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. WE FEEL THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ADQUATE REASON THAT FORD SHOULD GIVE PRIORITY ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. AT GENERAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THEN WHEN BEGINNING TO APPLY BRAKES, ALL OCCUPANTS CAN EASILY FEEL VERY HARD ERRATIC TREMBLING BEGIN ON THE FRONT END. WHEN HAVING OUR DEALER CHECK INTO THIS, HE ASSURED US THAT THE FRONT END WAS OKAY, BUT THAT EXCESSIVE HEAT IS CAUSING THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS TO DISTORT, AND THEREBY NEEDS LATHING/CUTTING - TO CORRECT, AND RID THE PROBLEM OF THE TREMBLING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT WE HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO HAVING THE ROTORS LATHED. OUR TWO PRIOR FORD F-250HD TRUCKS THAT WE'VE OWNED, NEVER DISPLAYED THESE PROBLEMS IN ANY FORM.*AK
