VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
OCCUPANTS WERE DRIVING THE VECHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED TO FLAME UP. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT. BUT BEFORE THAT WAS COMPLETED THE FIRE HAD CONSUMED THE WIRING HARNESSES, FUSE PANEL, CRUISE DEACTIVACTION MECH. AND MISC. OTHER COMPONENTS, COMPUTER ETC. SHORTLY AFTER THIS FORD WAS ON THE NEWS ABOUT A RECALL OF THE EXACT THING THAT HAD HAPPENED TO THIS TRUCK. AT THE TIME THERE WAS ONLY LIABILITY INSURANCE ON THE VECHICLE. IT WAS PAID FOR... AND THAT IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED. EXCEPT FOR THE FACT WHEN FORD DON'T WANT TO COVER THEIR MISTAKES... IN CONCLUSION FORD SAYS IT IS NOT THE RIGHT TYPE OF TRUCK BUT IF THE CRUISE MECHANISIM IS WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE AND THEN THEY DO A RECALL I THINK THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBILE FOR THE ITEM IN QUESTION, NO MATTER WHAT YEAR THEY SAY......

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
DEPRESSED CLUTCH PEDAL AND RELEASED IT. THE PEDAL ROSE AN ADDITIONAL 4 INCHES MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE CLUTCH. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I HAD BEEN LUCKY THAT IT HAD NOT RISEN AN ADDITIONAL .25 INCH BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE HAD NO CLUTCH. FORD KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND HAD AN UPGRADE KIT AVAILABLE WHICH I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT. I ASSUME THE SAME MASTER CYLINDER IS USED IN THE BRAKES.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
DRIVER'S SIDE SAFETY BELT INTERMITTENTLY RELEASES AND RETRACTS AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW FROM THE DEALER. AT FIRST I ASSUMED THAT I HAD NOT PROPERLY SEATED THE MALE END INTO THE FEMALE END. EVENTUALLY, I DEVELOPED A HABIT OF SEATING THE BUCKLE AND THEN TUGGING FIRMLY ON THE BELT TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS SECURELY CONNECTED. THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED AND UPON BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR, I HAVE FOUND THAT THE WARRANTEE IS EXPIRED AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW SEAT BELT FROM THE SAME COMPANY THAT SOLD ME A FAULTY ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD IS APPARENTLY NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES IN THIS CASE. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS AND HAVE UNDER 70000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM, NOR HAVE I HEARD OF SEAT BELT LATCHING MECHANISMS WEARING OUT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DT; EVER SINCE CONSUMER BOUGHT FORD F250 IT JERKS OR BUCKS FORWARD WHEN AT A STOP OR DRIVING SLOW. DEALER BASICALLY SAY IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IT IS HARD FOR THEM TO FIX IT. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT MAY DO THIS AND STOP THEN IT WILL BEGIN AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS LAST WEEK. CONSUMER CALLED SERVICE DEPT AS IT WAS HAPPENING, AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. ACTUALLY HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL FOR SAFETY BECAUSE IT DOES THIS AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE STALLING AND LURCHES FORWARD EVEN WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
2003 FORD F250 FUEL LINE CRACKED AND FUEL BEGAN POURING ONTO THE ENGINE AND THE EXHAUST.*MR CONSUMER WAS IN A RAIN STORM AND WHEELS WERE THROWING UP ENOUGH WATER TO PREVENT A FIRE. NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR GAUGES CAME ON, JUST SEEING ALL THE SMOKE ALERTED CONSUMER. THE CONSUMER LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SAW A PUDDLE OF DIESEL FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT A CLAMP HOLDING THE STEEL LINE WAS THE CULPRIT. THEY INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE FUEL LINE SHOULD BE RE-ROUTED OR REPLACED WITH A LINE THAT CAN RESIST FATIGUE. *BF
