POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS NOT STEEP AT BETWEEN 7-8% SLOPE, ON LIGHT SNOW OR ICE MY TRUCK WILL ROLL BACKWARD. WHILE ROLLING, ONE REAR WHEEL WILL BE TURNING FORWARD WHILE THE OTHER WILL BE TURNING BACKWARD. THIS OCCURS WHETHER THE PARK BRAKE IS APPLIED OR NOT, WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. MEANWHILE MY OLD 1983 CHEVROLET IS PARKED NEXT TO IT, NOT SLIDING. THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME WHENEVER SOMEONE COMES OVER AND PARKS BEHIND MY TRUCK, OR WHEN I AM PARKING ON THE STREET IN THE CITY. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, THIS IS NORMAL.*AK

VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER:SWITCH/WIRING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
1997 FORD F-250LD REAR WINDOW LEAKS. YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM BUT I THINK IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I AND MANY OTHERS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO WITH THE SLIDING REAR WINDOW HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS DESTROYING THE HEAD LIGHTS IN THESE TRUCKS PLUS OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AND WHAT'S IN IT. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME IT RAINS HARD OR SOFT AND WHEN I WASH THE TRUCK. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT WORKS AS A MECHANIC FOR FORD AND HE SAID HE HAS SEEN A LOT OF THESE PROBLEMS. FORD DOES NOT REALLY HAVE A GOOD ANSWER FOR THE PROBLEM AND WHEN THEY DO FIX IT, IT DOES NOT LAST FOR LONG. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS AND WOULD BUY THEM AGAIN AND I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO FIND HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND FIX ALL THE TRUCKS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEMS. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP. *LA
