ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
MY 2002 FORD F-250 SUPERCAB DIESEL 7.3 STARTED WITH A MISS AS I DROVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. NOW IT DIES OUT AT LOW SPEEDS IN TOWN DRIVING LEAVING ME WITH NO BRAKES OR STEERING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK CAUSED BY THE CAMSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR BUT FORD ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PULLING A LOAD. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE A 2005 F-250 4WD CREW CAB W/5.4 LITER V-8. IN THE LAST YEAR THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN VIOLENT SHAKING FROM THE FRONT END AFTER HITTING POTHOLES, PATCHES, EXPANSION JOINTS, RAILROAD TRACKS, ETC. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SLOWER SPEEDS ARE JUST ANNOYING BUT AT HIGHER SPEEDS (60 AND UP) THE SHAKES BECOME CONVULSIONS AND THE TRUCK LITERALLY BOUNCES AND SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. IT TAKES SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES AND GETTING BELOW 40MPH TO MAKE IT STOP. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER LAST WEEK (09JULY07) TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. AFTER BEING IN THERE FOR A DAY AND A HALF THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY LOOKED THROUGH ALL THE TSB'S AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND YOUR WEBSITE HERE, IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE IS BEING TOLD THE SAME THING SO I THOUGHT I WOULD ADD MY VOICE TO THE MIX. I AM SOMEWHAT APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING MY TRUCK BUT RIGHT NOW AM NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO TRADE IT IN ON SOMETHING ELSE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I WAS DRIVING THE 2005 F-250 WITH 12000 MILES AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HIT SOME BUMPS AND THE TRUCK WENT IN TO A VIOLENT SHAKING WITCH MADE IT VERY HARD TO STEER AND STOP. THE SHAKING WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I COULD GET INTO THE BREAK DOWN LANE AND COME TO A STOP. THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT VEHICLE TO FORD AND, THEY SAID THE TIRES HAD 65 PSI, AND SHOULD HAVE 75 PSI. IF 10 PSI CAUSED THAT VIOLENT SHAKING WHAT WOULD 20 PSI DO. I STRONGLY FELT THESE TRUCK WERE NOT SAFE. IF THE SPEED WERE HIGHER OR THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DIFFERENT DURING RAIN, SNOW, ETC I MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY. I GOT THE TRUCK BACK TODAY FROM FORD , AND THEY TOLD ME IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO BRING IT BACK , THAT MAD E ME FEEL REAL GOOD. I AM STILL NOT GOING OVER 50 MPH ANY TIME SOON. *AK

STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
OUR FORD F250 4X4 DIESEL TRUCK HAS A STEERING PROBLEM. IT'S LOCKING UP WHEN TURNING LEFT TO RIGHT. WE HAD 2 OCCASIONS WHERE WE JUST MISSED BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE STEERING LOCKS YOU CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES IN THE DIRECTION JUST PRIOR TO THE LOCK. THE WHEEL NEEDS TO BE TURNED BACK LEFT TO UNLOCK AND THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. WE LIVE ON A CURVE ROAD AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN FOLSOM CA, THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER, WHICH DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TOWED BACK THE 60 MILES TODAY AND WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS VEHICLE. *AK
