#714709November 13, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT:SHOCK ABSORBER
THE FRONT SPRINGS ON THIS HEAVY DUTY TRUCK BEGAN COLLAPSING AFTER APPROXIMATELY 14-MONTHS OF SERVICE. THE CONDITION WEARS THE FRONT TIRES EXCESSIVELY AND DOES NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE HANDLE PROPERLY. THE CONDITION WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP, DON VANCE FORD, MARSHFIELD,MO. AND ALL THAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IS TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DISCUSSIONS WITH FORD CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE. I HAVE LOOKED AT SEVERAL F250 VEHICLES WITH THE 7.3 L AND 460 MOTOR PACKAGES AND THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE. FORD HAS OBVIOUSLY RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING AS THE TWIN I-BEAM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON THE 1999 MODEL F250'S. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUDDER WHEN BRAKING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (60-65MPH AND SOMETIMES LESS). IN JANUARY OF '99 THE FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. THE PROBLEM RETURNED AGAIN AND THE ROTORS HAD TO BE TURNED A SECOND TIME IN OCTOBER OF '99. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 17K MILES. THE SHUDDERING HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR PEMATURE FAILURE OF NOT ONLY THE BRAKE PARTS BUT ALSO THE FRONT END COMPONENTS.
