ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AFTER TOWING MY TRAILER SEVERAL BLOCKS I PULLED OVER AT MY DESTINATION AND REALIZED MY TRAILER LIGHTS HAD GONE OUT. THIS IS UNUSUAL BECAUSE THE TRAILER JUST MADE A 2500 MILE TRIP WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER CHECKING THE CONNECTIONS AND OPENING UP THE FUSE BOX TO LOOK FOR BLOWN FUSES I WENT BACK TO CHECK THE LIGHTS AGAIN. UPON RETURNING TO THE TRUCK SEVERAL MINUTES LATER I FOUND THE FUSE BOX AND A PORTION OF THE DASHBOARD IN FLAMES. I SMOTHERED THE FIRE AND FOUND ALL THE ELECTRONICS TO WORK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PASSENGER POWER SEAT AND THE TRAILER LIGHTS AND BRAKES. THE VEHICLE IS A 2003 FORD SUPERDUTY LARIAT F-250 5.4L *LA

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH THE CONSUMER FELT THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND THE CONSUMER CONTINUED WITH THE TRIP.

ONE TIRE WAS BOUGHT TO REPLACE TO HAVE ALL FOUR TIRES THE SAME SIZE ON THE GROUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THOSE TIRES WERE NOT ON RECALL. *AK THE SPARE WAS FROM THE ORIGINAL SET AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. (REAR PASSENGER SIDE) *SCC *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE A FORD F-250 V10 2001. AT 62000 MILES, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE AN INCREDIBLE NOISE IN THE LOWER END. WE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE THE LONG BLOCK. SINCE WE ARE 12000 MILES OVER WARRANTY, WE WOULD NEED TO COME UP WITH $5700 PLUS LABOR. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SITES WHERE PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR V10 AND FORD WILL REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE, IF UNDER WARRANTY. FORD RECALLED AND REPLACED OUR TRANSMISSION LAST YEAR, BUT IT DID NOT HELP WITH THE ENGINE. PLEASE HELP US, I KNOW 10 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WE ARE ALL FRUSTRATED AND UNABLE TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLES. *LA

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
MY VEHICLE HAS 34000 MILES, IT'S A F250SD 4X4 DIESEL. WHEN BRAKING THE FRONT END SHAKES. THIS HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO ROTOR WARP. DEPENDING ON THE MECHANIC I HAVE BETWEEN 70-90% OF THE BRAKE PADS LEFT. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T NORMALLY TOW OR CARRY A GREAT DEAL OF WEIGHT. I THINK THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS OR SOME MECHANICAL PROBLEM THAT CAUSES ROTOR WARP SO QUICKLY. *JB

I THEN RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE DISTRICT REP UP IN NORTH CAROLINA, I TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON, HE SAID HE WAS A POLICY/COMPLAINT PERSON AND WAS NOT IN THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THINGS, I NOW HAVE 6100 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND STILL NO CHANGE, I SENT A EMAIL TO THE FORD CAC, 5 DAYS AGO WITH NO RESPONSE.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I BOUGHT MY FORD F250 IN JUNE 2003, I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH THROUGH THE DESERT IN CALIFORNIA WITH MY DAUGHTER, DAD, AND MOM WHEN THE TRUCK JERKED HARD TO THE LEFT; I WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT ON THE HIGHWAY BY INCHES. AFTER CLEANING OUT MY PANTS, WE GOT OUT TO SEE THAT THE TREAD HAD COME COMPLETELY OFF AND THE TIRE WAS STILL INFLATED. I TOOK IT IN TO A FIRESTONE DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO HELP ME. I HAVE REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES($400) AND WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE THE BACK TWO--I HAVE NO FAITH IN FIRESTONE TIRES AFTER THIS. WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THE IDIOTS MAKING THESE TIRES ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *JB
