TRUCK WANDERS ON ROAD AND PULLS WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, DEALER WAS TOLD OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE VIEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THEY NEVER COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED THIS VIEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED BRAKE PADS 3 TIMES AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HUBS TWICE MYSELF AT MY EXPENCE OUT OF WARRANTY NOW.

WHO KNOWS IF THEY EVEN WORK. MY OVERDRIVE SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES AND IS BROKE AGAIN. DOOR AJAR LITE ON CONSTANTLY. BUT QUALITY FORD CANT FIND OR OFFER ME SOME KIND OF SOLUTION. THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TRUCK HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT AND A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE TOP OF THE CYLINDER HEAD AND BROKE THE COIL PACK. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN TUNED UP. THIS IS A RESULT OF A BAD DESIGN FOR THE SPARK PLUG HOLE IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. IT ONLY HAS 5 THREADS TO HOLD THE SPARK PLUG IN AN ALUMINUM HEAD. *NLM

PARKING BRAKE, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
THE VEHICLE ROLLED OFF HILL AFTER BEING PARKED 60 MINUTES. TRUCK WAS IN FIRST GEAR WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON! THIS HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2001. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY DURING MAY OF 2002 AND HAD SERVICE COMPLETED MAY 29TH OF 2002. ON FEBRUARY 28TH 2003 THE SAME TRUCK ROLLED OFF ANOTHER HILL WHILE IN FIRST GEAR WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, AFTER BEING PARKED OVER 45 MINUTES! THERE SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND/OR TRANSMISSIONS/GEAR RATIO IN THIS MODEL TRUCK***RECALL DID NOT WORK!!!!. A PERSON SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT THIS TRUCK IN EITHER FIRST GEAR OR REVERSE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND COME BACK AND FIND YOUR TRUCK PARKED IN THE SAME PLACE, NOT TWO BLOCKS AWAY ON TOP OF ANOTHER CAR! ESPECIALLY AFTER A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM!!!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. HOW ELSE IS THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO PARK THESE VEHICLES? THIS PROBLEM HAS RUINED THREE VEHICLES, MY FLAWLESS INSURANCE RECORD AND IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY IF IT ALREADY HASN'T.*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
HORN CANNOT BE ACTIVATED QUICKLY OR REPEATEDLY BECAUSE ONLY A VERY SMALL SPOT IN THE AIRBAG/STEERING PAD IS LIVE. FINDING THE SMALL, UNMARKED SPOT IS IMPOSSIBLE UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS AND DIFFICULT AT ANY TIME. DEALERS KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM BUT HAVE NO FIX. COMMON TO ALL SUPER DUTY WITH AIRBAG.*JB
