#722673May 14, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THE BRAKES HAVE NOT YET FAILED TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE ROTORS WARP AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE AND THE RAKES TO FADE. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE EARLY MODEL SUPERDUTY. FORD HAS NOT DONE A RECALL BUT THEY HAVE PUBLISHED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE TALKED TO FORBY FORD (I DID NOT PURCHASE THE TRUCK FROM THEM) AND THE ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I ALSO CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO RESULTS. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A SPECIALIST THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE ROTORS ARE UNDERSIZED AND THIS CAUSES THE ROTORS TO WARP. IN ADDITION, I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF TRUCK AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. *AK

#722482May 10, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
THIS TRUCK IS USED FOR LIGHT HAULING (PERSONAL) OF MY LAWN MOWER AND SNOW PLOWING MY RESIDENCE. CONTINUOUS/EXCESSIVE BRAKING WAS NOT APPLIED, THEREFORE NO REASON FOR BRAKE ROTORS TO BE WARPED AT 26K MILES (EXCEPT A DESIGN DEFICIENCY). THE DEALER IS SAYING THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME. WITH THIS KIND OF ATTITUDE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A REPEAT OF THE SAME DEFICIENCY IN ANOTHER 26K MILES (OUT OF WARRANTY). THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE DEALER IS WANTING TO PASS THE BUCK AND BLAME THE CUSTOMER. *AK

SUSPENSION, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
CONCERN THAT IF SEAT BELT IS SQUEAKING THERE IS FRICTION CAUSING THIS AND A FAILURE IN THIS SAFETY SYSTEM WILL RESULT. SQUEEKING IN THE SUSPENSION COULD ALSO BE A SIGN OF FRICTION/MOVEMENT, CONCERN WITH FAILURE OR UNSAFE CONDITION. WHEN YOU PAY $30,000 FOR A NEW VEHICLE IT SHOULDN'T SQUEAK! *AK
