SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
APPROXIMATELY EVERY 6,000 MILES, MY BRAKES START VIBRATING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I BELIEVE THE DISC IS WARPING BUT TO DATE, NOTHING CONCRETE HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE AND THE DISK REPLACED TWICE. THE PROBLEM IS REOCCURING AND I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR IN AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR DOESN'T STOP PROPERLY AND THE VIBRATING STEERING WHEEL MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL. I SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE AND MOST SEEM TO BE FROM ALASKA. IS THE COLD WEATHER SOMEHOW RESPONSIBLE? IT TAKES TIME, EFFORT, AND A LOT OF EMOTIONAL GRIEF TO ARGUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME I TAKE THE CAR IN AND TELL THEM THAT THE BRAKES HAVEN'T BEEN RIGHT SINCE DRIVING THE CAR OF THE LOT. WHEN IS FORD GOING TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM? CHANGING THE DISK IS APPARENTLY NOT A PERMANENT FIX. THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM ITSELF. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET SATISFACTION, START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT? HAVE AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY FAULTY BREAKS WITH INJURY OR DEATH AND PUBLICISE A LARGE SETTLEMENT LAW SUIT? ALL I WANT IS BREAKS I CAN TRUST. AS IT IS, I GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND WAIT FOR THE VIBRTATION TO START! *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
WARPING OF FRONT DISC ROTORS. THE ROTORS WARPED OUT THE FIRST TIME AT 30000 MILES. SINCE THEN THE ROTORS WARP BETWEEN 10 - 20000 MILES CONSISTENTLY. AGAIN GOING ONLINE I FOUND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL WITH THE FORD F250, 350 MODEL YEAR 1999 - 2003. PRESENTLY I HAVE HAD MY FRONT ROTORS EITHER CUT OR REPLACED 4 TIMES. ESTIMATED TIME LINE THAT WORK WAS REQUIRED.; 30000, 44000, 60000 AND THE CHIMMY IS BACK AT 76000 . THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHAKE AND CHIMMY. GREATLY EXTENDING THE DISTANCE WHICH THE TRUCK CAN STOP. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
APRIL 2004. FAULTY CABLE IN STEEING COLUMN. THIS CABLE CAUSES A FAILURE WHICH DISABLES THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IT ALSO DISABLES THE HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL. AFTER GOING TO SEVERAL DISCUSSION FORUMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AFFECTING 100'S PERHAPS 100 OF FORD SUPER DUTY F250, F350 VEHICLE. PER THE CHAT PAGES FORD WAS ABLE TO GET AROUND THIS ISSUE BY STATING THE FAULTY CABLING EFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL ONLY. THIS IS A MISCONSEPTION. ALSO BASED ON THESE CHAT PAGES THIS PROBLEM EFFECTS MOST F250,350 FROM 1999 - 2003. THE AVERAGE FAILURE TIMELINE IS 45000 - 70000 MILIES. MINE OCCURED AT 68000. *AK

TIRES
ALL 4 TIRES HAD VERY POOR TRACTION WHICH RESULTED IN THE TRUCK SKIDDING ON WET ROADS. A TIRE SHOP INDICATED THE PROBLEM OCCURRED BECAUSE THE OUTSIDE RIBS OF THE TIRES HAD NO GROOVES IN THEM, SO THE RAIN, ETC., COULD DRAIN. THE LIQUID WAS TRAPPED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HYDRO-PLANE. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT IS NOT PROVIDING ANY ASSISTANCE. THESE ARE LOAD RANGE E TIRES. *JB *NM
