ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IN MY 2000 F250 THREE TIMES NOW. THE PART COSTS OVER 140 DOLLARS AT A FORD DEALER AND I KNOW MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME PART. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND FORD KNOWS IT. WHEN I WALKED IN THE DEALER AND SAID MY TRUCK DIED THE FIRST THING THE MECHANIC SAID WAS "OH, SOUNDS LIKE A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR". THIS HAS LEFT ME STRANDED TWICE (ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ON A ROAD TRIP). *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WENT TO START MY TRUCK ONE MORNING AND SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH ON TOP OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BURNED. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, OPENED THE HOOD AND PULLED THE WIRE FROM THE SWITCH. TRUCK IS 1997 FORD F250. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO CLINTON FORD IN ROCK HILL, SC AND THEY PUT A CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH IN AT A COST OF $292.09. NOW I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL 05S28 THAT APPLIES TO THE TRUCK THAT I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE FOR. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT FORD DID NOT NOTIFY ME OD THIS SAFETY RECALL. THEN WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, I WAS BILLED FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
1ST CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING. 3 WEEKS LATER A NEW PROBLEM BEGAN. TO START VEHICLE I HAD TO TURN KEY TO ACCESSORY, MOVE GEAR SHIFT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL, THEN TURNED KEY THE REST OF THE WAY TO START. AFTER ARRIVING ANYWHERE COULD NOT LEAVE VEHICLE IN PARK AND COULD NOT MOVE GEAR SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE. I HAD TO TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT WITH THE ABOVE PROCEDURE. WITHIN A WEEK AFTER THE SHIFTING PROBLEM BEGAN I COULD NOT SHUT OVERDRIVE OFF. THEN, 2 DAYS LATER WHILE LEAVING HOME , THE SMELL OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE AND BELLOWING WHITE SMOKE EMINATED FROM STEERING COLUMN. THIS FIRE OCCURRED ON MAY 13, 2007. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AT MY EXPENSE TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED, LAIRD-NOLLER FORD IN LAWRENCE, KS AT A COST OF $110.00. IT WAS CURRENTLY STILL IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT ABOVE DEALERSHIP, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE FUSE PANEL SHORT-CIRCUITED AND MELTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $670.00, BRINGING MY COST TO OVER $780.00. THE DEALERSHIP THEN CALLED ME ON MAY 17, 2007 AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL STILL DID NOT WORK AFTER FIXING THE FUSE PANEL. THEY TRACED DOWN THE PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND IT NEEDED A NEW MODULE AT A COST OF OVER $350.00 WHICH THEY BELIEVED IT TO BE THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEMS. THEY DENIED THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALL WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM, AND REFUSED TO PAY ANY OF THE COST ON THIS PART AND THE ENSUING DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *AK
