2005 Ford F-250 Sd Problems

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, JUST LEAVING TOWN I HIT 50 MPH AND THE TRUCK STARTS TO WOBBLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND VIBRATE TILL I SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 40 MPH. I GOT THE NOTICE FROM FORD TELLING ME IT ALL HAD TO DO WITH TIRE PRESSURE. I INFLATED THE TIRES TO THE REQUIRED PRESSURE AND IT ONLY MADE THINGS WORSE. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY REPLACING PARTS IN THE FRONT END OF THIS TRUCK. TIRES ARE NOW JUNK ON THE FRONT END. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS UNDER INFLATE THE FRONT TIRES TO GAIN BETTER CONTROL AND DRIVE SLOWER. STILL WOBBLES JUST NOT AS BAD. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM I HAVE EVERYDAY.

I WAS HEADING DOWN MY STREET IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND JUST BEFORE THE STREET BENDS TO THE LEFT MY TRUCK STALLED AND I LOST MY POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. DOING THE BEST I COULD I TURNED THE WHEEL JUST ENOUGH TO AVOID THE CAR PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET THEN I PROCEEDED TO RUN THROUGH MY NEIGHBOR'S WROUGHT IRON GATE AND PLASTER COMING TO REST ON THE HILL IN HIS FRONT YARD. AFTER ASSESSING THE DAMAGE, I TRIED TO START MY TRUCK TO SEE IF I COULD MOVE IT. IT STARTED AND I MOVED IT TO MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE DONE AT THE BODY SHOP I THEN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE DISCOVERED A FAULTY WIRE IN THE WIRE HARNESS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR SIGNS OF TROUBLE. LATER I LEARNED FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2004-2005 MODELS FOR THE WIRE HARNESS SPECIFICALLY, THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY F250, SUPER DUTY 6.0 DIESEL BECAME SLUGGISH AND GAS MILEAGE SUFFERED IMMENSELY. THEN, WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES, MY LEFT REAR DISK BRAKE CALIPER WAS DRAGGING AND STARTED SMOKING. AT MY COST AND ON THE LEFT REAR, I HAD FORD REPLACE THE CALIPER, PADS, BRAKE LINE AND RESURFACE THE ROTORS. ALSO, THE RIGHT REAR ROTOR WAS RESURFACED. AT 54,000, I MAKE A 100 MILE TRIP AND THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER STARTED DRAGGING. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO FIX THIS SINCE NO ONE HAS THE SOLUTION.ADDITIONALLY, I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THIS COULD CAUSE TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE RESULTING IN FATALITIES.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM, AND REPORTED THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. . BROUGHT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHO KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT THE CALIPERS WERE SEIZED.. I PAID APPROXIMATELY $1100.00 FOR THAT BRAKE JOB AND TOLD THAT FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE PARTS IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RE-DESIGN OF THE BRAKE SHOES. THEY REPLACED ONE REAR ROTORS, "FREED UP" ONE REAR CALIPER. I DID ADVISE DRIVERS FRONT WAS SEIZING UP AT ONE POINT AS WELL. I WAS PROVIDED THE REAR ROTORS AND SHOES. THE SHOES WERE WELL WITHIN USABLE RANGE WHICH WAS NOTED BY MYSELF, ALSO A DIESEL MECHANIC AND A INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE DAY I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING HOME LOST ALL BRAKES. I HAD IT TOWED AT MY OWN EXPENSE THEN THEY DISCOVERED THE OTHER REAR CALIPER HAD IN FACT SEIZED LIKE I HAD TOLD THEM THEY REPLACED IT COST ME FOR THE REPAIR.THIS YEAR MAY 2013 WAS AGAIN NOTICED SMELL OF THE BRAKES BURNING, ALONG WITH FAMILIAR BOUNCING. ONLY THIS TIME I DROVE 8 MILES WHEN HEAVY SMOKE WAS COMING FROM FRONT WHEEL WHAT I TOLD THEM LAST TIME AND THEY DIDN'T FIX IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WENT. ALTHOUGH THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM IT COST ME THE FEE FOR THE SERVICE. I PAID THE OUTRAGEOUS PRICE OF $2400.00 IN 2011 FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY KNOWING THIS TRUCK WOULD BE COSTING FAR MORE THAN THAT IN FUTURE. THE MYSTERY VIBRATION SOME EXPERIENCE THAT CANT BE "REPEATED" AT THE DEALERSHIP OTHER THAN THE CRAP OF TIRE INFLATION OR "ROAD FORCE BALANCING" WHICH THERE IS NO TIRE SHOP WITHIN 50 MILES OF ME THAT HAS EVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING IS MOST LIKELY THE BRAKES. *TR

I FEEL THAT THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE SHOULDN'T HAPPEN THIS SOON, AND FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST TO REPAIR IT. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON A FORD F 250 SUPERDUTY TRUCK FAIL TO SHUT OFF. SAFETY ISSUE, THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION IS TAKEN AWAY FROM DRIVING TO MANIPULATING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROLS IN AN EFFORT TO TURN OFF THE WIPERS OR THE DRIVER WILL REMOVE THE FUSE AND THEN THERE ARE NO WIPERS WHEN NEEDED. THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO OTHER FORD F250 DRIVERS SO IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. *TR

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX]. I HAVE A CO WORKER, [XXX], THAT HAS EXPERIENCED AN ACCIDENT IN HIS F-250 FORD PICK UP ABOUT A MONTH AGO. BASICALLY, IT WAS A ACCIDENT WHERE HE WAS HIT, SLID INTO ANOTHER CAR, AND THEN INTO A DITCH. THE CATCH IS HIS AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, TOTALING HIS TRUCK IN THE DITCH. LUCKILY, NEITHER HE NOR HIS CHILD WERE HURT. THE CATCH IS HE HAS SHARED HIS STORY AND FOUND TWO OTHERS THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME RESULTS. I ASKED HIM WHY HE DIDN'T GET A LAWYER ON IT. HIS REPLY WAS A LAWYER TOLD HIM IT WOULD COST HIM MORE THAN HE'D EVER RECEIVE FOR HIS TIME. THE LAWYER ALSO SAID THAT UNLESS SOMEONE IS KILLED THERE IS NO REAL RECOURSE. SO, HE IS OUT THE MONEY HE HAS BEEN PAYING ON THE TRUCK FOR THE LAST 1+ YEAR. MY REAL PROBLEM IS NOT WHAT HE IS OUT OF POCKET FOR THE VEHICLE. RATHER, WHY ARE THE BAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THESE ARE SAFETY ITEMS THAT HAVE A PREMIUM PRICE ATTACHED TO THEM, AND SOMETHING THAT IS TOUTED AS MAKING A VEHICLE SAFER. THE FACT THAT THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AS ISOLATED AS ONE WOULD THINK IS ALSO DISCONCERTING. ALSO, WHY SHOULD ANYONE LOOSE THEIR LIFE DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. I GUESS THAT I JUST DO NOT SEE THE "BIG PICTURE CC: FORD MOTOR COMPANY E-MAIL [XXX] NHTSA COMPLAINT VIA E-MAIL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
