#710456August 24, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
UPON BRAKING, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AFTERWHICH A FLASH FIRE DEVELOPED WHICH DID EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO WIREING, STEERING COLUMN SHAFT & GEAR BOX, 4WD ACTUATION LINES ETC. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE BRAKE SERVICE & RECALLS ON THE BRAKES. FORD HAS REDESIGNED THE FRONT ROTORS & HUBS BUT REFUSES TO UPGRADE EARLY PRODUCTION VEHICLES. ALL EARLY PRODUCTION 1999 FORD F250SD VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM REPLACEMENT. THE ROTORS WARP, THEY SHAKE WHEN STOPPING, THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE REAR BRAKE RECALLS, THE ANTILOCK BRAKES RELEASE & WILL NOT STOP ON ROUGH ROADS & NOW MINE WENT ON FIRE. THESE TRUCKS ARE DEATH TRAPS! THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 3 MILES, & HAD NO LOAD IN THE BED. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF PENNSYLVANIA TOWING MY 5000 LB TRAILER & LOST THE BRAKES & HAD A FIRE ? WHEN I REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO FORD I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY REALLY DIDN'T CARE.

#710388August 23, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
THE PROBLEMIS THAT THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARP AND CAUSE SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATION. THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED TWICE AND REPLACED FOUR TIMES ALL UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND TO FORD FLEET SERVICE IS DEARBORN AND ALL I CAN GET FROM THEM IS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAYS IIT IS EITHER OPERATOR DRIVING HABITS OR OVERLOAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WEITHED TWICE AND IT IS NOT OVERLOADED. THE LOCAL TRUCK DEALER HAS TWO MORE TRUCKS WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND ANOTHER WORKER HERE HAS REPLACED HIS ROTORS FOUR TIMES ON THE SAME VEHICLE. THIS TRUCK IS OWNED BY THE UNIVERSITY AND I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I AN THE DIRECTOR AND FIRE MARSHAL AND THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES. DAILY MILEAGE AVERAGES 125 MILES. 110 ON INTERSTATE 95 AND 15 MILES AROUND THE CITY OF NEW HAVEN ON CITY STREETS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THIS WITH THE DEALER AND FORD FLEET SERVICE TO NO AVAIL. FORD DOESNOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT. THE SELLING DEALER STATES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, YET THE LOCAL FORD TRUCK DEALER SAYS HE HAS THREE TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT FORD TECH ASSIST CANNOT TELL HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE ROTOR ARE TURNED OR REPLACED, THE PROBLEM TEMPORRILY RESIDES. WITHIN A COUPLE OF THOUSAND MILES IT RETURNS. IT ONLY OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ANDIS MOST SEVERE BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH. IF YOU DRIVE FOR MORE THANT 10 MILES WITHOUT USING THE BRAKES, IT WILL NOT BE NOTICABLE. IF THE BRAKES ARE USED, EVEN LIGHTLY, MORE THAN ONCE WITHIN A 5 MINUTE PERIOD, THE FRONT ROTORS WILL WARP ANF THE FRONT END WILL SHAKE SEVERELY. IF YOU STOP AFTER THIS, THE FRONT WHEEL RIMS WILL BE SO HOT, YOU CANNOT PUT YOUR AND ON THE RIMS. I AM NOTICING A LOT OF FRONT END WOBBLE RECENTLY AND AM QUESTIONING THE EFFECT OF THE HEAT ON THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINS. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE COME UP AGAINST A STONE WALL WITH FORD. ONE DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG, THEY WON'T EVEN TALK TO TRUCK DEA
