ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE WHICH IS DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW THAT FORD MOTOR CO. IS WELL AWARE OF. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS NEW OR IT HAS MANY THOUSANDS OR, IN MY CASE, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, OF MILES ON IT. FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND THEY HAVE BEEN FORCED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ON VEHICLES THAT ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. FOR THOSE VEHICLES, LIKE MINE, THAT ARE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THE FULL COST OF THE REPAIR IS LEFT UP TO THE CONSUMER. THE AVERAGE REPAIR COST FOR THIS MAJOR MALFUNCTION IS $2,500.00-$3,500.00. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SITUATION FOR THE BASIC FACT THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE ON THE PUBLIC RECORD STATING THAT THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE ENGINES BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE FOR THEM TO FIX THEM ALL, BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE IS THE ONE THAT FORD INSTALLS IN MOST OF IT'S HIGH END TRUCKS AND SUVS. THIS POSITION BY FORD IS JUST NOT FAIR BUSINESS AND IT CERTAINLY IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER WHO SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPECT A BETTER PRODUCT WHEN PAYING $25,000.00-$40,000.00 FOR SAID PRODUCT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DEFECT IS ONE KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURER AND THEIR ENGINEERING TEAM WHO FINALLY REDESIGNED THE ENGINE IN THE 2002 MODEL YEAR TO AVOID THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS DRIVING MY FORD 2001 F-250 UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VERY HARD SHAKING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE THEN IT BEGAN TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY. THIS VEHICLE DID GO OUT OF WARRANTY ON APRIL OF 2004 BUT IT ONLY HAS 32,600 MILES ON IT(AS OF 8-10-04) THE TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS IN OUR AREA PALM SPRINGS FORD AND FIESTA FORD BOTH TOLD US IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD CHARGE US TO FIX THE TRUCK. PALM SPRINGS FORD COULDN'T START FOR TWO WEEKS AND FIESTA FORD WANTED AT LEAST $2400 TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. WE WERE RECOMMENDED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP THAT COULD FIX IT IMMEDIATELY FOR $1795 AND HE WOULD GUARANTEE HIS WORK FOR 36000 MILES. WE HAD THE WORK DONE AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE FORD SERVICE CENTER TO SEE IF WE COULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY AND STILL UNDER 36,000 MILES. WE WERE TURNED DOWN FOR ANY HELP FROM FIESTA FORD AND THEIR FORD FACTORY REP. WE CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AND WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THEY REFUSED TO GIVE US ANY NAMES OR ADDRESSES OF OTHER PEOPLE TO CONTACT. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT
WE PURCHASED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, 2004 F-250 POWERSTROKE DIESEL ON 4/3/04, LARIAT PKG,TOW/CAMPER PKG FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP IN KENNESAW, GA. IT DID WELL FOR A FEW WEEKS, BUT ODD THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN, ROUGH SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION/DECREASE IN GAS MILEAGE/RIDING ROUGHLY. ON 6/8, BEFORE A TRIP TO FLORIDA, MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE AND TO HAVE THE OTHER PROBLEMS CHECKED. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPT SAID THEY COULD'T FIND THE PROBLEM BUT DID MENTION THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. WE LEFT FOR VACATION THE VERY EARLY ON 6/18. ON 6/25, IN FL, THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN. COULD ONLY GET IT IN ONE GEAR, THE TOW/HAULING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. A DEALERSHIP THERE IN PALM BEACH, DIAGNOSED-WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN IT WAS TAKEN APART. (WE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DISCLOSE TO US THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE, AT 17 MILES. IT HAD 79 MILES ON IT WHEN WE PURCHASED IT). A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED AND WE WERE STRANDED ANOTHER WEEK BEFORE IT WOULD ARRIVE. ON 6/30, MY HUSBAND PICKED UP THE TRUCK BUT IT STILL WASN'T OPERATING PROPERLY. ABOUT 8PM HE CALLED TO SAY THE TRANSMISSION HAD BROKEN AGAIN. BACK TO THE FL DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING, LED TO ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS OF THE COMPUTER/PROCESSOR BEING BAD. THAT WAS REPLACED AND THE TRUCK HAS WORKED SOMEWHAT PROPERLY SINCE THAT TIME. IT STILL HAS SOME ODD SOUNDS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION, THE GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED AS LOW AS 8.9 (ORIGINALLY -17 MPG - PULLING A CAMPER.) IT STILL IDLES ROUGHLY SO WE EXPECT TO BREAK AGAIN. THIS TRUCK IS ON ITS THIRD TRANSMISSION & 2ND PROCESSOR. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, FORD MOTOR CO., AND AUTOMOTIVE GRP 1. MY SINCERE THANKS TO AL PACKARD FORD SERVICE DEPT IN PALM BEACH CO, FL FOR THEIR HELP IN DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM AND FOR HELPING THESE STRANDED VISITORS. *AK

TIRES
I WAS DRIVING MID DAY IN AZ IN MY F-250 XLT CREW CAB TRUCK WHEN I NOTICED A SLIGHT VIBRATION. I CHANGED LANES AND IT DID NOT GO AWAY. I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN WHEN BAM THE TIRE BLEW. I GOT OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTED THE TIRE. IT DID NOT LOSE AIR AT ALL ONLY THE TREAD HAD DELAMINATED FROM IT. HOWEVER THE TREAD HAD TORN UP THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE CHROME NERF BARS AND THE WHEEL WELLS THEMELF. I THEN MADE THE DECISION TO DRIVE ON THE TIRE TO THE NEXT STOP THATWAS ONLY 4-5 MILES AHEAD TO CHANGE THE TIRE IN THE SHADE AND WELL AWAY FROM HEAVY TRAFFIC. ONCE IN TUCSON I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL THE RETURN TRIP HOME. AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES FROM TUCSON ANOTHER VIBRATION OCCURED. I SLOWED DOWN AND EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND INSPECTED ALL FOUR TIRES. THEY APPEARED NORMAL AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW 2-3 MILES LATER. THE TIRE LOST THE TREAD TOO BUT ALSO SHREDDED IT SELF AND LOST ALL AIR. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO BE TOWED TO PHOENIX. AT THIS TIME THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPAIRS OR CORRECTIONS. THE TRUCK IS UNDER ASSESSMENT BY LEGAL COUNSEL AND DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN AND IMMEDIATE LOST OF POWER. THE VEHICLE IS A 2001 FORD F-250 WITH THE 4R100 TRANSMISSION. 2. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO EGRESS TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. AT ANOTHER LOCATION OR TIME, SEVERE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE OCCURRED. 3. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION. THE ASSESSMENT FROM THE DEALER WAS THAT THE INTERMEDIATE ONE WAY CLUTCH (MECHANICAL DIODE STYLE) HAD FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED REBUILDING OR REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2001 MODEL 4R100 TRANSMISSIONS AND MENTIONED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED. I FOUND FORDS TSB-01-13-5 ON THE INTERNET AND DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THE SITUATION IS THAT IN JULY 2000 THROUGH MARCH 2001 FORD CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE ONE-WAY CLUTCH FROM THE SPRAG DESIGN (IN SERVICE SINCE 1989 ACCORDING TO THE DEALER) TO THE NEW MECHANICAL DIODE. BY MARCH OF 2001 FORD RECOGNIZED THAT THE NEW DESIGN WAS FAULTY AND REVERTED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SPRAG DESIGN. THE SERVICE BULLETIN INSTRUCTS DEALERS THAT IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE, TO REPLACE THE MECHANICAL DIODE WITH THE SPRAG DESIGN. FORD REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY DESIGN, PART, OR REPAIRS. IN FACT THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS SOMEWHAT NASTY IN MY OPINION. CLEARLY THIS IS DEFECTIVE ENGINEERING THAT IMPACTS THE DRIVE TRAIN. THERE ARE A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. THIS SITUATION APPLIED TO 4R100 TRANSMISSIONS INSTALLED IN 2001 E SERIES, EXCURSIONS, EXPEDITIONS, F-150'S, ALL F SERIES SUPER DUTY'S, AND NAVIGATORS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE HURT, OR POTENTIALLY KILLED BEFORE FORD WILL ISSUE A RECALL AND STAND BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGN ? LASTLY, THE PURCHASE DATE IS AN ESTIMATE, AS THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN AND IMMEDIATE LOST OF POWER WITH MY FORD F-250 WITH A 4R100 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. 2. TRANSMISSION FAILURE. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT DUE TO THE OFF HOUR, AND I WAS ABLE TO EGRESS TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERE AT ANOTHER TIME OR LOCATION. FAILURE OCCURRED WITH NO WARNING WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. 3. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION. THE ASSESSMENT FROM THE DEALER WAS THAT THERE WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE INTERMITEDIATE ONE WAY CLUTCH (MECHANICAL DIODE STYLE) ON SECOND GEAR WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO BIND AND SEIZE. THE RECOMMENDED FIX IS EITHER A TOTAL REBUILD OF THE TRANSMISSION OR REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT FORD HAD ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 01-13-5) WHICH ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND THE TSB FORD SWITCHED FROM THE SPRAG ONE-WAY CLUTCH ON 7/27/2000 TO THE MECHANICAL DIODE TYPE CLUTCH UP TILL 3/23/2001. FORD FOUND THAT THE MECHANICAL DIODE TYPE CLUTCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND SWITCHED BACK TO THE SPRAG TYPE CLUTCH IN MARCH OF 2001. FORD SUBSEQUENTLY ISSUED TSB 01-13-5 ON JUNE 26, 2001 WHICH ADVISES REPLACEMENT OF THE MECHANICAL DIODE TYPE CLUTCH WITH THE SPRAG (THE OLD DESIGN). THIS ISSUE APPLIES TO ALL 4R100 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS BUILT IN THE DATE RANGE ABOVE AND INSTALLED IN (PER THE TSB) E-SERIES, EXCURSIONS, EXPEDITIONS, F-150'S, SUPER DUTY F SERIES, F-53 STRIPPED CHASSIS, AND NAVIGATORS. AT THE TIME I WAS IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WAS ALSO IN THE SHOP. FORD IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND REFUSES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. AS THIS FAILURE OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND CAUSES SUDDEN AND INSTANT POWER LOSS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE HURT, OR KILLED BEFORE FORD WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGN ? *JB *PH

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
2004 F250 KING RANCH. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK SINCE APRIL 8. AROUND THE MIDDLE OF JULY IT STARTED HESITATING AND STALLING. IT WOULD HESITATE WHILE GOING AT ANY SPEED, AT ANY TIME, WHETHER GOING DOWN THE ROAD OR SITTING STILL. WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING, IT WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER, AS IF YOU HAD TAKEN YOUR FOOT COMPLETELY OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WILL REGAIN POWER, AS IF YOU PUT YOUR FOOT BACK ON THE GAS PEDAL. SEVERAL OF THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE CALLS FOR CRASHES AND COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING IF NOT FOR OTHER ALERT DRIVERS. AFTER "REPAIRING" THE TRUCK THE FIRST TIME, I NO MORE THAN GOT IT HOME BEFORE IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. AFTER ORDERING SOME MORE PARTS AND "REPAIRING" THE TRUCK THE SECOND TIME, IT STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AFTER FIRST STARTING AND WHILE IDLING. IT ALSO GAINED A LOUD SCRUBBING/THUMPING SOUND SOMEWHERE IN THE FRONT HALF OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOW BACK IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK FOR A TOTAL OF 4 DAYS OUT OF THE LAST 21 AND AM VERY AFRAID OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT IF THEY "REPAIR" THE PROBLEM AGAIN.
