2000 Ford F-250 Sd Transmission Problems

REPEATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. FORD REPLACED MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON MY 2000 F250 UNDER WARRANTY, WITH ABOUT 35,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN FAILED WITH ABOUT 84,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, 49,000 ON THE TRANSMISSION, AND $4,000 OUT OF MY POCKET. THIS TRUCK IS WELL MAINTAINED AND RARELY OPERATED WITH A LOAD. A SECOND COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE NOW TAKEN MY TRUCK IN FOR THE 100,000 TUNE UP. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF BECAUSE THE CABLE HOLDING IT BROKE. THE SPARE TIRE HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THE TRUCK. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN IF SPARE TIRES ARE FALLING OFF OF TRUCKS. *TR

FRONT HUBS ON 4WD FORD F-250 PICKUP WERE STUCK IN LOCKED, EVEN THOUGH SET TO AUTOMATIC. CAUSED FAILURE OF CV JOINT ON FRONT DRIVE SHAFT, WHICH RESULTED IN CRACK CASE AND TRANSMISSION EXPLODING (LITERALLY, AS IN PARTS FLYING ALL OVER I-80). TRANSMISSION SHOP OWNER (ACTION TRANSMISSION, ROCK SPRINGS, WY) INDICATED HE'S SEEN SAME OCCUR BEFORE. ONE PART DENTED SUPPORT ON PONTOON BOAT BEING TOWED -- IF NOT THERE, COULD HAVE GONE THROUGH SOMEONE'S WINDSHIELD. A VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE, IN MY OPINION. I HAVE KEPT AND PHOTOGRAPHED THE PARTS REPLACED BY SHOP (EXCEPT WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH WAS REQUIRED TO AVOID CORE CHARGE) AS WELL AS SEVERAL PIECES I PICKED UP OFF HIGHTWAY. THE HUBS HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST AND WERE REPLACED LESS THAN 11,000 MILES BEFORE INCIDENT, YET WERE OUTSIDE FORDS 12-MONTH "WARRANTY" PERIOD. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS. FORD DEALER IN ROCK SPRINGS HAD SEVERAL WEEK BACKLOG ON TRANSMISSION WORK SO I HAD IT REPAIRED ELSEWHERE ($5,818). *TR

AT 85000 MILES OF VERY LIGHT USE MY F250 HD MODEL YEAR 2000 WITH DIESEL ENGINE HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IF THIS TRUCK IS REFERRED TO AS A SUPER DUTY AND HEAVILY ADVERTISED AS SUCH A STRONG TRUCK WHY WOULD MY TRANSMISSION FAIL. AGAIN THIS TRUCK IS USED MORE LIKE A CAR THEN A CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE. *JB

FIRST, I LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT IF I DIDN'T HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, IT BE DOWN THE ROAD. ITEMS EITHER REPAIRED OR REPLACED ALL BEFORE 47K MILES (NOW HAS 49K MILES AS OF 10/2005) WITH ALL WORK BEING DONE AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ONCE, AND AGAIN REQUIRED REPAIR FOR BROKEN PUMP. REAR END COMPLETELY REPLACED. AUTO FRONT LOCKING HUBS REPLACED TWICE. REAR DRIVELINE WAS REPLACED. AIR BOX BROKEN AND REPLACED. "SUPER DUTY DIESEL" IMPLIES A REALLY TOUGH TRUCK, BUT I BABY MINE - IS THAT WHAT I'M DONE WRONG? *JB

I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2000. NOW IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NEEDS ANOTHER TRANSMISSION THE LAST TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN(OCTOBER 2002)THEY SAID THEY WOULD WARRANTY THE TRANSMISSION FOR ONE YEAR BUT NOW THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT BECAUSE IT HAS AN AFTER MARKET SUSPENSION LIFT AND BIGGER TIRES (IT'S BEEN ON THERE SINCE THEY PUT THE FIRST TRANSMISSION IN AND THEY PERFORMED WARRANTY WORK ON IT THEN). *NLM

CONSUMER STATED THAT, WHILE DRIVING THE SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION INTO LOW GEAR IT PINS HIS LEG DOWN TO THE SEAT, THE SHIFT LEVER COMES TO FAR OVER AND DOWN. THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE SHIFTER BUT IT WOULD NOT HELP. CONSUMER IS AFRAID THAT THIS COULD CAUSE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *YD
