2000 Ford F Super Duty Problems

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 10 YEARS A SPARK PLUG HAS BLOWN OUT OF THE HEAD ON THE ENGINE THE SECOND TIME BEING TODAY JULY 13TH 2016 MY CONCERN BESIDES THE FACT THAT THE SPARK PLUGS ARE BLOWING OUT IS THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE GAS PAPERS BEING IGNITED BY THE SPARK PLUG ON TOP OF THE ENGINE INSTEAD OF IN THE ENGINE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE RUNNING 60 MILES AN HOUR THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THIS MORNING ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, HEARD A NOISE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT, UPON INSPECTION, NOTICED SPARK PLUG BLEW FROM ENGINE. A FEW YEARS LATER IT BLEW ANOTHER SPARK PLUG. REPAIR SHOP INSERTED HELICOIL BOTH TIMES.

TRAVELLING ALONG ALCAN HIGHWAY IN REMOTE CANADA. WE HAD TREAD SEPERATION BLOWOUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT THAT DAMAGED THE F350 DUALLY. TIRE SIZE WAS 285/75/16 WITH AROUND 20,000 MILES ON THEM. TIRE WAS UNUSABLE AND REPLACED WITH SPARE. SCRAPPED THE RIM AS WELL DUE TO DAMAGE WHEN ARRIVING IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA. DO NOT TRUST THESE TIRES FOR LONG ROAD TRIPS.

BELTS SHIFTING IN TREAD OF TIRE, CAUSING TIRE TO BECOME OUT OF ROUND AND CAUSING VEHICLE TO SHAKE AND WONDER VERY BADLY. BOTH TIMES AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC.*AK

I HAVE FOUND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THAT IF YOU HIT YOUR BRAKES TO AVOID SOMETHING AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH YOU CANNOT STEER AT THE SAME TIME! YESTERDAY I ALMOST RAN OVER A SEA WALL INTO THE OCEAN WHEN I WAS BRAKING IN A 45 DEGREE CORNER AND TRIED TO STEER AROUND IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED OTHER TIME WHILE TRYING TO AVOID OTHER AUTOS, ANIMALS ECT. BUT NEVER THIS BAD. I HAVE SINCE DRIVEN 2 OTHER TRUCKS OF THE SAME BODY STYLE IN OUR CAMPGROUND AND THEY EXIBIT THE SAME PROBLEMS.*AK

COMPLETE TREAD SEPARATION OF THE LEFT FRONT TIRE, CAUSING TOTAL STEERING LOSS. *AK

Hood flew up and Brakes locked up when I tried to stop causing me to slide sideways unable to control it and flipped four times and the air bags never came out and truck was totaled.

BRAKE LINE FAILURE. RUBBED HOLE IN BRAKE LINE.*AK

FAILURE OF FRONT WHEEL BEARING AT 60,000 MILES. *TR

2000 F-250 4X4 FRONT HUB: I HAD TO CHANGE BOTH FRONT HUBS ON MY 2000 4X4 F-250 WITH ONLY 62,790 MILES AND THE BEARING LOCKED-UP ON ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER WAS LOOSE. IT COST ME $ 1,225.00 TO REPLACE THE HUBS AND SEALS, EACH HUB COST 408.00 AND EACH SEAL COST 38.00 FROM FORD. I TALKED TO 2 OTHER PEOPLE WITH A FORD 4X4 AND THAY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK FORD SHOULD PAY FOR THE COST BECAUSE IT HAS ONLY 62,790 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND THE OTHER PEOPLE ,ONE HAD 46,000 MILES AND THE OTHER HAD 74,000 MILES . THE BEARING COULD BE CHANGED @ AROUND 40.00 TO 60.00 BUT FORD HAS ON THE BEARINGRETANER NUT PART DO NOT REMOVE. TO ME I THINK FORD JUST WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY ON THE WHOLE HUB WITH THE BEARINGS . PS ALSO GLAD I WASN'T GOING TO FAST WHEN IT LOCKED UP

30000 BOTH FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED, AND BOTH FRONT BEARING SEALS WERE LEAKING. ROTORS WERE TURNED AND DISCS WERE REPLACED AT 43000, ROTORS WERE WARPED AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TURNED. *AK

TRANSAXLE BEARING FAILED LEFT SIDE, CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL BOTH FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED, AND HAD TO BE TURNED AT 30000. HAD TO BE TURNED AGAIN AT 35000, AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT49000. *AK

THE CENTER SUPPORT BEARING FAILED AND NOW HAS CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTOR TO BE REBUILT. CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID SINCE NOT AT FORD REPAIR CENTER WILL NOT LOOK INTO COMPENSATION OF A TRANSMISSION WITH THE KNOW PRODUCTION FLAW. IT IS ALLOVER THE INTERNED, CENTER SUPPORT BEARING FAILURE, BAD DESIGN OF CASE.*AK

MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION FAILURES

2000 FORD SUPER DUTY CREWCAB WITH A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT THAT WILL NOT STAY OFF. OBD CODE READS GROSS VAPOR LEAK. AFTER 8 ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT, DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. ALL PARTS OF THE VAPOR SYSTEM HAVE BEEN REPLACED INCLUDING THE ON BOARD COMPUTER. PERSONAL RESEARCH INDICATES THAT OTHER FORD TRUCK OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM

FUEL GAUGE WORKS INCORRECTLY, HAVE HAD TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS 6 TIMES. TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. FORD ALSO NOTIFIED. *AK

I HAVE A 2000 FORD F350 DWD 4X4 AND HAVE HAD BOTH FRONT STOCK ALUMINUM WHEELS DEVELOP LARGE CRACKS AND DEEMED UNSAFE. MY WIFE CONTACTED FORD TO INQUIRE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, AND THE ANSWER WAS NO, SHE TOOK IT TO FORD, AND THEY LOOKED AT THE TRUCK, AND DID NOTHING ELSE. FURTHERMORE, THEY DID NOT WANT TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE AND TOLD HER THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WOULD COME OF IT. THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS AND PERHAPS DEATHS FROM THE RIMS BEING DEFECTIVE. I HAVE TALKED TO EVERYONE I COULD FIND DRIVING THE SAME VEHICLE, AND ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS EXACTLY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE WHEELS.THIS STATEMENT MAKES THE NHTSA LIABLE SHOULD THERE BE NO ACTION ON THEIR PART AND THERE BE ANY ACCIDENTS WITH DEATHS. *TR

NEWSPAPER, AUGUST 2007, IDENTIFIED MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL. CONTACTED FORD TO VERIFY RECALL. FORD VERIFIED BUT REFUSED TO ISSUE LETTER. FINALLY GOT A LETTER DATED SEPTEMBER 2007. FORD IDENTIFIED TWO DEALERS FOR MY AREA. ONE SUNLAND FORD STATED THEY NEVER KNEW WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND MADE NO EFFORT TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. SECOND DEALER SAID HE WOULD CALL WHEN HE HAD PARTS. NO CALLS. RECEIVED NEW LETTER FROM FORD 26 OCTOBER 2007. CALLED SECOND DEALER TO SCHEDULE REPAIR 29 OCTOBER 2007. DEALER SAID NO PARTS WERE EXPECTED UNTIL AFTER 1 DECEMBER 2007. I HAD THIS SAME EXPERIENCE ON A 2001 NAVIGATOR BEGINNING 2002 AND NEVER WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE REPAIR MADE. I ENDED UP DISPOSING THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT PLAN TO CHASE AFTER FORD ANY MORE. *TR

RIGHT HEADLIGHT VERY DIM. WIGGLE SWITCH AND IT USED TO RETURN TO FULL BRIGHT NOW IT STAYS DIM. REPLACED BULBS NO CHANGE. I HAVE SEEN THIS OTHER FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS HERE IN CONYERS GA. *NM
