I OWN A 2002 F250, 4X4, FOUR DOOR, OFF-ROAD PACKAGE, CAMPER PACKAGE, TOW PACKAGE, V-10, AUTOMATIC TRANNY. WHEN I FIRST START THE VEHICLE AND PLACE IT IN REVERSE, AFTER ABOUT THREE SECONDS, I HEAR A LOUD "THUMP". NOISE COMES FROM A LITTLE RIGHT OF CENTER AND IN FRONT OF THE DASH. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 FORD F250 DIESEL TRUCK AT 70 MPH (SPEED LIMIT) WHEN I TOUCHED THE BRAKE TO RELEASE THE CRUISE TO STOP AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT UPON ENTERING PLAINS, TX. THE CRUISE DID NOT RELEASE AND I BRAKED HARDER......THE ENGINE KEPT AT OVER 2,000 RPM AND DID NOT SLOW DOWN.....I BRAKED HARDER TO STOP AT THE LIGHT AND THE ENGINE NEVER SLOWED DOWN......I PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON ON THE CRUISE CONTROL AND PUMPED THE BRAKE AND IT NEVER SLOWED......I HAD TO BRAKE PRETTY HARD TO COME TO A STOP AT THE HIGHWAY INTERSECTION.....THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING AT 2,000 RPM......I JERKED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND STOPPED THE TRUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.....WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK, IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. I HAD THE CAR HAULED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP, BROWNFIELD, TX. THEY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM......THEN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION......THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 28,000 MILES ON IT......THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FOR $2,800. AFTER TELLING MY FRIEND, A MECHANIC, THE PROBLEM HE SENT ME THIS MESSAGE: GO TO: WWW.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/HOTLINE/ AND FILE A REPORT ON THE INCIDENT WITH THE TRUCK. AFTER THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID HAPPENED, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE COMPONENTS. IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IF IT DOES , SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. TRYING TO HOLD THAT ENGINE WITH THE BRAKES (NOT SAYING IT DID) COULD BLOW THE TORQUE CONVERTER ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE REASON FOR FILING THE REPORT IS THEY WILL INVESTIGATE FOR SAFETY AND THEY WILL ALSO LET YOU KNOW IF A SIMILAR REPORT HAS BEEN FILED. TOM. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2001 F250 CREW CAB 4 X 4 AUTO TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 49,000 MILES. DRIVING ALONG AT 45 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR AND TRANSMISSION LOSES 2ND AND THROWS/SNAPS PASSENGERS FORWARD. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN OFF ROAD, ALL MILES ARE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAS NOT PULLED ANYTHING. FORD SAID THEY COULD NOT REPAIR ONLY REPLACE TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FOR $3100. I HAD A LOCAL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP MAKE REPAIRS FOR $2200. THEY WERE TOLD BY FORD WHEN ORDERING PARTS THAT THE ONE-WAY CLUTCH THAT FAILED WAS A NEW DESIGN IN 1998. PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE SINCE FORD HAD SINCE GONE BACK TO PRE 1998 DESIGN. THIS IS CLEARLY A "LATENT DEFECT" THAT FORD IS/HAS BEEN AWARD OF. I AM ASKING FORD TO STAND FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS OR WILL REFER TO COUNSEL TO FILE A DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE CLAIM AGAINST THEM.*AK

I HAVE A 1995 FORD F-250 4X4 TRUCK. THE STEERING SHAFT COMING OUT OF THE STEERING BOX HAS BROKEN IN HALF TWICE. ONCE ON 12/24/01 AND ONCE AGAIN ON 2/02.
