ON 7/19/01 I FOUND A BUBBLE ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE BUBBLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8 LONG. WHEN THE TIRE WAS REMOVED FROM THE RIM THE BUBBLE ALSO EXTENDED INSIDE THE RIM. ON 7/21/01 I WAS LOOKING AT THE OTHER TIRES AND FOUND CRACKS FORMING ON THE SIDE WALLS ON THE OTHER THREE.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VERY HARD WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. IN JULY OF 2000 THE NEWSPAPER IN BECKLEY, WV , THE REGISTER-HERALD, RAN AN ARTICLE THAT NHTSA REPORTS THAT THE FORD F-SERIES SUPER DUTY TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS OF LOSING THEIR STEERING AND BRAKES. AND THEY COULD GO OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THAT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. FORD DENIES KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE REPORT? I HAVE ASKED TO TALK TO FORD ENGINEERS AND HAVE BEEN REFUSED. WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THIS? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY TRUCK PERIODICLY WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AFTER 35MPH CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC FAST TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THERE WAS NOTHING 'BROKEN' ON MY TRUCK, FORD HAD TO ADD A STABILIZER KIT TO THE FRONT END SUSPENSION. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM. AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT I AM REPORTING THIS POORLY ENGINEERED FRONT END SUSPENSION PROBLEM.*AK

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THE CLUTCH FAILED TO DISENGAGE PROPERLY AND PLACED ME IN A HAZARDOUS DRIVING SITUATION. THIS CLUTCH IS HYDRAULICALLY OPERATED AND A DEALER REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I INVESTIGATED THE OPERATION OF THE CLUTCH AND FOUND THE CAB FIREWALL, WHERE THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER IS BOLTED TO IT, DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH TO SUPPORT THE CLUTCH OPERATIONAL STRESSES APPLIED TO IT. THIS FIREWALL HAD STARTED TO SEPARATE AND ALLOWED THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER TO MOVE WHEN IT WAS ACTUATED, THEREBY THE CLUTCH WAS NOT ABLE TO DISENGAGE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FROM THE BEGINNIG THERE WAS TROUBLE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE (VERY LONG CRANK). THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT LEAST 3 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS NEVER SOLVED. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 70 MPH, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHUT OFF (ENGINE, ELECTRIC, EVERYTHING) AND AFTER A FEW TERRIFYING SECONDS IT WOULD ALL KICK BACK ON. WHEN THE ENGINE KICKED BACK ON THERE WAS A MAJOR JOLT TO THE ENGINE (AND TO THE PASSENGERS). THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES EVEN AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICING TO "CORRECT" THE PROBLEM. LASTLY, WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM VACATION, WE NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS SHIFTING HARD, LUNGING RATHER THAN SHIFTING SMOOTHLY. AFTER STOPPING FOR A TOLL AND THEN PROCEEDING THE ENGINE ALMOST CUT OUT AND WOULD NOT GO PASSED 2ND GEAR. WE WERE IN A VERY BAD SECTION OF TOWN AND THERE WAS NO WAY IN HELL WE WERE GOING TO STOP. SO WE DROVE SLOWLY TO A RELATIVES HOUSE THAT WAS CLOSEST TO WHERE WE WERE. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN THE PAST AND WERE NOT AT ALL SATISFIED WITH THEIR HANDLING OF THE SITUATION. ALL THEY DID WAS CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND RELAY THE SAME INFORMATION WE HAD ALREADY GIVEN THEM. NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT FORD MUST PUT IN A WHOLE NEW "DIFFERENT" TRANSMISSION, WHY? THEY MUST ALREADY BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE WE WERE TOLD BY ONE OF THEIR MECHANICS "YEAH, WE HAD A COUPLE OF OTHER TRUCKS COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY WERE DIESELS TOO". HMMM.*AK
