ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING A GREEN WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. DATE WAS 12/1/2015. I LOST POWER AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH, I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN TRIED TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AGAIN AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CLEARED. IT WENT BACK TO "NORMAL" AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY. I'VE READ AND ALSO TALKED TO OTHER FORD OWNERS AND THEY HAVE SAID THE SAME THING, IT IS THE (PCM) POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. NOTE: I HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY WITH ME.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS TRUCK, IT HAD 30,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM THE DEALER IN 02/2005. THERE IS NO FRONT END ALIGNMENT ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK. WHEEL HUB BEARINGS FAILURES, FRONT AXLE, TRUCK HAD OVER 200,000 MILES BEFORE THE FIRST WHEEL HUB BEARING FAILURE, SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 7 WHEEL HUBS BEARING FAILURES ON MY (2003 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY XL 4X4 7.3 POWER STROKE DIESEL), THE TRUCK ONLY HAS ROAD MILES AND I DO NOT TAKE IT 4 WHEELING. IT IS MY WORK AND EVERY DAY DRIVING TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 320,000 MILES ON IT NOW.( I LOVE THIS TRUCK) THE LAST SET OF WHEEL HUBS WAS INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK 04/01/2015 AND I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN, SAD DAY FOR ME. 08/22/2015. THEY ONLY HAD 5,000 MILES ON THEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE FLAW IN THE HUBS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BUT MORE OVER YOU SHOULD GET MORE THAN 5,000 MILES OUT OF THESE PARTS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE TRAVELLING ON A STRAIGHT, SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL, DRY SECTION OF HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR, AN EXAGGERATED SHAKING BEGAN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS QUICKLY BECAME AN ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE BOUNCING OF THE TRUCK. IT BECAME INCREASINGLY VIOLENT IN JUMPING TO THE POINT IT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I BRAKED AND SLOWED TO UNDER 20 MPH WHEN IT STOPPED. PULLED OVER, CHECKED ALL, NOTHING OUT OF SORTS. NO SIGN OF MECHANICAL FAILURE OR TIRE TROUBLE. FELT LIKE FLAT TIRE AT FIRST.

WHEELS
WE PURCHASED A USED 2008 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY TRUCK THAT HAD BRAND NEW TIRES JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO FROM A DEALERSHIP HERE IN HAWAII. (FEDERAL COURAGIAM A/T LT 285/70R17) WE ALSO PURCHASED A 2 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE TIRES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS WARRANTY. TIRES ARE BUBBLING ON INSIDE SIDEWALL. TOOK VEHICLE TO TIRE SERVICE LOCATION AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE TIRE IMMEDIATLY. THIS WAS JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. NOW SECOND TIRE DOING SAME BUBBLING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TODAY. IT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED THAT ALL TIRES BE REPLACED AND ARE DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS. COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT/INJURY/DEATH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I'M DRIVING, THE HORN WILL SOMETIMES JUST START BLOWING BY ITSELF FOR NO REASON. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE AS WHEN I'M DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS, IT'S WILL SCARE ME COMPLETELY AND USUALLY THOSE AROUND ME. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER AND BANG ON THE HORN TO GET IT TO QUIT BLOWING. IT SEEMS TO BE IN THE AIRBAG AREA. THANK YOU.

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2002 F250 SUPERDUTY WITH 7.3L DIESEL WILL NOT TURN AT PARKING SPEEDS AND HIGHER SPEEDS IF APPLYING THE BRAKE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY ALL SAY IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 7.3L POWERED SUPERDUTY TRUCKS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND DO NOT WANT TO BE PUT INTO A POSITION WHERE I MAY HURT SOMEBODY DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGNED STEERING SYSTEM. INCREASING RPM DOES NOT HELP. MY TALKING TO EXPERTS HAS FOUND THE GENERAL CONSENSUS TO BE THAT THE HYDRO BOOST PUMP DOES NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH VOLUME AND WAS A POOR DESIGN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. MY RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE ALSO FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED EARLY ON AND BECAUSE THERE WERE NO DEATHS IT WAS DISMISSED AS A NON ISSUE. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS I HAVE ONLY 40,000 MILES AND THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HAS ONLY FORTUNATELY NOT CAUSED ANY DEATHS THAT I'M AWARE OF.

IN TRAFFIC. TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART ONCE WAS PULLED OFF ONTO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. IF TRUCK HAD BEEN TOWING DOWN A STEEP GRADE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY TRUCKS FRONT END SHAKES AND BOUNCES WHEN I HIT A ROUGH AREA ON THE HWY TO POINT IT FORCES ME INTO OTHER LANES OR OFF THE ROAD. WHEN IT STARTS BOUNCING I HAVE HIT THE BREAKS HARD AND COME TO A STOP. REALLY DANGEROUS ON A WELL TRAVELED ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK CHECK AFTER EACH INCIDENT AND AM TOLD EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT OK. THEY SAID TO KEEP TIRES AT 65 PSI AND THEN 75 PSI NEITHER HELPED. TODAY AFTER ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR HEAD ON HWY 175 I DECIDED IT'S TIME TO REPORT IT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY TRUCK BEGAN CUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING EVERY NOW AND THEN. NOW IT IS DOING IT MORE AND MORE. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS, SO A COUPLE OF TIMES I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BAD GAS SO I CHANGED GAS AND STARTING USING AMOCO GAS AND PUT FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER IN MY GAS TANK. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW I AM LOSING PRESSURE WHILE I AM DRIVING. I CALLED FORD MOTORS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING THAT IS IN THE RECALL. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL AND FOR $130.00 I COULD BRING IT IN AND GET A DIAGNOSTIC. THERE HAS BEEN A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND THE VEHICLE STILL STOPS ON ME ON OCCASION. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE REAR BRAKES ON MY PICKUP FAILED. THE REAR CALIPERS WERE STICKING AND THE BRAKES OVERHEATED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. FAILURE OF THE REAR BRAKES IS A COMMON AND PERVASIVE PROBLEM WITH FORD F350 TRUCKS OF THIS MODEL YEAR. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL OF THESE TRUCKS. *TR

ENGINE
TRAVELING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH; THE SPARK PLUG ON MY 5.4L V8 TRITON BLEW OUT OF ITS SOCKET. (ANY MECHANIC WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS) THIS CAUSED AN IMMEDIATE BANG AND VERY ROUGH RUNNING CONDITION. AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED; THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER WHICH IN TURN; CAUSED A RAPID REDUCTION IN VEHICLE SPEED. NOT TO MENTION, THE DISTRACTION THAT OCCURRED THAT CAUSED THE LACK OF FOCUS ON SURROUNDING VEHICLES AND OTHER POSSIBLE HAZARDS. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF A SEPARATE SPARK PLUG BLOWING OUT OF ITS SOCKET ON THE SAME MOTOR. THIS WILL COST SEVERAL THOUSAND IN REPAIRS AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE. ON TOP OF THE MONEY SPENT REPAIRING THE LAST INCIDENT. THERE IS A DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF THIS SITUATION WITH THE MORE EXTREME HAVING FIRE ISSUES. THE FIRE IS BECAUSE ATOMIZED FUEL IS SPRAYED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT DUE TO THERE BEING A HOLE WHERE THE SPARK PLUG IS SUPPOSED TO BE. THERE WAS NO CRASH, FIRE OR INJURY IN THIS CASE. HOWEVER, IT WAS CLOSE TO HAVING ALL THREE. *TR
