VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
2006 FORD F250 PICKUP. ON 1/14/07, I NOTICED THAT THE RUBBER SEAL AROUND THE WINDSHIELD WAS BEGINNING TO LIFT FROM THE VEHICLE BODY (NEAR THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER WHO HAD A WINDSHIELD PROFESSIONAL INSPECT THE RUBBER. ON 1/23/07, I WAS NOTIFIED BY MY DEALER THAT THE WINDSHIELD PROFESSIONAL GLUED DOWN THE LIFTED PORTION AND THAT IF THERE WERE ANY ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. NOTHING HAS BEEN ALTERED ON THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THIS. IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND FORD IS CLAIMING THAT IT WAS DAMAGED DURING USAGE. THROUGH FURTHER RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT FORD CROWN VICTORIA'S HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT RESULTED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN. I AM DEMANDING THAT THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD ASSEMBLY (AND SEAL) BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
I HAVE A 2000 FORD EXCURSION WITH THE 7.3 DIESEL ENGINE. ON 1/12/07, WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IT KILLED ON ME. STARTED RIGHT UP AND PERFORMED OK. ON 1/17/07, WHILE ACCELERATING AT ABOUT 7 MILES PER HOUR IT STOPPED RUNNING AGAIN. I'VE PARKED IT UNTIL I CAN DETERMINE WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO BE STOPPED IN FRONT OF FAST MOVING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. BRUCE MCPHERSON. *NM

SUSPENSION
2005 FORD F250 CREW CAB SUPER DUTY V10 TRITON. WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED ABOVE 30 MPH AND HITTING SOME BUMPS ON THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT OSCILLATION WHERE ALL THE WHEELS HOP UP AND DOWN CAUSING ME TO NEARLY LOOSE CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO STOP THIS SEVERE WHEEL HOP IS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND QUICKLY BUT SAFELY GET THE VEHICLE BELOW 10 MPH (5 MPH IF LEFT IN GEAR). THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT SPEEDS ABOUT 50 MPH BUT IN TWO CASES IT HAS HAPPENED AT SLOWER SPEEDS INCLUDING ONCE AT RIGHT AT 30 MPH. I HAVE HAD PASSENGERS INCLUDING CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THEY HAVE ALL FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES WHEN IT OCCURS. I FIND MYSELF DODGING BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT THE RISK OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT MYSELF TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. I CAN'T BELIEVE WITH AS MANY PEOPLE THAT I HAVE FOUND ON THE WEB THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. *NM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
THE BALL JOINTS IN MY VEHICLE ARE WORN OUT & I NEED TO HAVE ALL 4 BALL JOINTS (BOTH UPPERS & LOWERS) REPLACED ON MY 2000 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY PICKUP TRUCK BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO GREASE THE JOINT-NO GREASE FITTING!!!! IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD TRUCK OWNERS. AFTER YOU REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS WITH NEW JOINTS WITH A GREASE FITTING IN IT THE FAILURE PROBLEM NO LONGER OCCURS. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
NO WARNING , THE SPARK PLUG JUST BLEW OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD WITH A LOUD BANG WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. FORD MOTOR COMPANY DENIED RESPONSIBILITY AND PLACED THE BLAME ON ONE OF IT'S DEALERS WHO PREVIOUSLY HAD REPLACE AN IGNITION COIL ON A DIFFERENT CYLINDER. NEITHER PARTY WANTED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR COST. THIS VEHICLE IS USED FOR BUSINESS PURPOSE AND IT GETS EXPENSIVE WHEN IT IS NOT IN SERVICE. AFTER A WEEK OF PHONE CALLS AND CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE DEALER AND FORD AND GETTING NO WHERE I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC REPAIR THE VEHICLE A MY COST. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
2002 FORD F-250, EXHAUST LEAK DEVELOPED JUST AFTER 50,000 MILES. RIGHT SIDE MANIFOLD HAD SPLIT. FORD REFUSED TO WARRANTY IT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY 4 1/2 YEARS INTO A 5 YR/ 50,000 MILE EMISSIONS WARRANTY. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE MOUNTING STUDS THAT CHANGES THEM TO STAINLESS STEEL. THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FACTORY STUDS ROTTING OUT. THEY ALSO HAVE MADE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE HOLES IN THE MANIFOLD. THEY WERE ENLARGED TO RESIST CRACKING. BOTH MANIFOLDS HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE BROKEN STUDS. ALL OLD PARTS ARE IN MY POSSESSION. OTHERWISE THE TRUCK IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
SEVERE CORROSION OF BRAKE LINES THAT CONNECT CALIPERS AND CYLINDERS TO TEE FITTINGS RESULTS IN THE RUPTURE OF THE METAL LINES AND RESULTS IN THE COMPLETE AND IMMEDIATE LOSS OF THE NORMAL BRAKE SYSTEM. THE LATEST FAILURE IS THE BRAKE LINE THAT CONNECTS MASTER CYCLINDER TO PROPORTIONING VALVE. I HAVE REPLACED THE FORWARD AND REAR BRAKE LINES 3 (THREE) TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE TRUCK IN 1995. THE LOSS OF THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD.

TIRES
THIS IS THE SECOND GOODYEAR WRANGLER (KEVLAR) TIRE THAT HAS BLOWN OUT COMPLETELY WITH IN A YEAR. THE FIRST TIME A MESQUITE THORN CAUSED THE ENTIRE SIDE TO BLOW OUT; LAST WEEK IT WAS A LITTLE ROCK THAT CAUSED SEPARATION AND BLOW OUT AGAIN. FOR AS MUCH AS THESE TIRES COST THEY ARE A DANGER WHEN A LITTLE THING LIKE A THORN OR ROCK CAUSES A COMPLETE SEPARATION. DISCOUNT TIRE EVEN SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A SEPARATION. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
DRIVING ON THE ROAD, AND THIS GOD AWFUL LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE HEAD. THE CORRECTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEAD, THE PATCH FIX WOULD HAVE COST 1,000.00, BUT WITH NO WARRANTY. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WORKS AT FORD IN MICHIGAN AND THIS IS WHY I AM IN TOUCH WITH YOU PEOPLE. NHTSA ACTION #DPO5005 ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM ABOUT THE ALUMINUM HEADS AND THE PROBLEMS WITH PLUGS EJECTING FROM THE HEADS. THE DEALER HAS DONE ALL THE WORK ON THIS TRUCK, AND THIS REPAIR WAS 3,509.80. FORD SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE , AN AGREE THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. IF THIS WEEK THE OTHER SIDE GOES THAT WILL BE 7,000.00 AND NOT EVEN A NEW ENGINE, JUST 2 HEADS IF NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS. *JB
