1999 Ford F-350 SD complaints

DRIVING NORTH BOUND ON I-95 AT 60MPH HEAVY VIBRATION FOR 15 TO 20 SEC THEN TIRE EXPLODED. REPLACED WITH SPARE. DEFECTIVE TIRE IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE FROM A SET OF FOUR I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH. THE OTHER TIRE HAD THE BELTS SLIP CAUSING VIBRATION AND LOUD NOISE. ANOTHER TIRE FROM THAT GROUP IS CHUNKING IN THE CENTER. *AK

APRIL 2ND OF 2004 DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND COASTING TO A STOP SIGN THE NUMBER 3 SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE CYLINDER HEAD OF MY 1999 FORD F-350 WITH A V-10 ENGINE IN IT. FORD IN KINGMAN,AZ. INSTALLED A RECONDITIONED CYLINDER HEAD THAT HAD A SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT OF IT AND A STEEL INSERT WAS THE FIX FOR THAT CYLINDER HEAD. I WAS GIVEN A RECONDITIONED HEAD WITH THE INSERT IN IT AND TOLD BY THE FORD MECHANIC IN KINGMAN,AZ. THAT IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT BLOWS ANOTHER SPARK PLUG OUT OR SUCKS THE STEEL INSERT INTO THE ENGINE. I SINSERLY HOPE I'M NOT 100 MILES FROM ANYWHERE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I ALSO HOPE IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL TRYING TO HELP SOMEONE. THIS IS A VAST PROBLEM AND CAN EASILY BE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET BY SIMPLY TYPING IN "FORD V-10 ,SPARK PLUG". FORD KNOWS THIS IS A CASTING PROBLEM WITH THE ALUMINUM HEADS HAVING ONLY 3 THREAD COUNT IN EACH CYLINDER HOLE HOLDING EACH SPARK PLUG IN. *AK

BOUGHT 6-10PLY HEAVY DUTY TRUCK TIRES FOR MY FORD 350, DUALLY, DIESEL TRUCK & I ROTATED THEM EVERY 6 MONTHS. WHEN I WAS IN A MALL, A PASSER-BY STOPPED ME TO TELL ME MY LEFT FRONT TIRE, ON THE INSIDE HAD A HUGE BUBBLE IN IT. WHEN I LOOKED, IT WAS AROUND 8 TO 10 IN. AROUND & WHEN I STOPPED, IT DID NOT GO DOWN, IT STAYED THERE. I ONLY HAD THEM FOR ABOUT 2 YRS. I BOUGHT THEM FROM A & K TIRES ON MOODY BLVD., IN FLAGLER BEACH, FL. 32136 GOODYEAR WOULD NOT EVEN PRO-RATE THEM, I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER TIRE. NOW, I AM AFRAID THE OTHER 5 WILL DO THE SAME & AS A RETIREE, I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY 6 TIRES EVERY TWO YEARS FOR MY TRUCK. I AM AFRAID ANOTHER BUBBLE WILL COME UP ON THE OTHER TIRES, BUT I AM STUCK WITH THEM. IF IT HAD BLOWN OUT ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, BUT THANKS TO A CONCERNED PASSERBY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. HOPE I AM THAT LUCKY AGAIN, IF THE OTHER TIRES GO OUT TOO. *JB

A RATTLING NOISE CAN BE HEARD COMING FROM THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE FLUIDS WERE CHANGED BUT THE NOISE CAN STILL BE HEARD. ALSO, THERE IS A TIRE COMPLAINT.

I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE I PURCHASED NEW IN 1999. IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER'S SERVICE SHOP MULITPLE TIMES AND ALSO FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. MOST RECENTLY IS A PROBLEM I HAVE HAD THE DEALER INSPECT AND TRY TO FIX 4 TIMES AND IT IS STILL A PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE 4X4 IS NOT FULLY DISENGAGING AND CAUSES MANY PROBLEMS WHILE IN 2-WHEEL DRIVE. I AM TAKING IT IN AGAIN FOR THE 5TH TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM ON MONDAY AND I AM AT A COMPLETE LOSS. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS TRUCK AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT AND THEY ARE ONGOING. PLEASE HELP!!!*AK

BOTH FRONT 5 SPOKE ALUMINUM WHEELS DEVELOPED CRACKS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE WHEEL COMING OFF THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING, IF THE CRACKS HAD GONE UNNOTICED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *JB

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 03E028000 CONCERNING THE WHEEL RIMS. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE THERE WAS A FORD STAMP ON THE RIMS. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED FORD, WHO INDICATED TO THE CONSUMER THAT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE WHEELS WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS RECALL. *AK THE WHEELS WERE LOOSING AIR PRESSURE AND THE CONSUMER STATED NO ONE WAS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *JB

TRUCK'S TWO FRONT ALUMINUM WHEELS HAVE CRACKED AND WILL NOT HOLD AIR. THEY COULD COME APART AT ANYTIME. THE CAUSE OF THE CRACK HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *PH THE CRACK IS COMPLETELY AROUND THE SPOKE TO THE INSIDE. VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN A ACCIDENT. CONSUMER NOTED ONLY ONE WHEEL WAS STUCK IN THE MUD UP TO THE HUB CAP BUT THAT WHEEL ISN'T CRACKED. *PH

THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO PERFORM POORLY. WHEN TAKEN TO THE GARAGE, THEY STATED THAT THE ROTORS APPEARED TO BE MADE OUT OF A DEFECTIVE STEEL. THAT WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF THE STEEL WASN'T DEFECTIVE. *LA

WHILE CHANGING A TIRE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE SPARE TIRE CARRYING DEVICE CABLE FRAYED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE CABLE TO SNAP AND THE SPARE TIRE TO FALL OUT INTO TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING. *AK

FIRESTONE HAS DENIED THE FIRST CLAIM STATING I MUST HAVE HIT A POTHOLE. THE SECOND CLAIM IS PENDING, WAITING FOR ME TO SEND THEM THE OTHER TIRE. I EXPECT THE SAME RESPONCE FROM FIRESTONE,AS THE TIRES LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME, LIKE A HAND GRENADE BLEW UP INSIDE THEM.

I PURCHASED A 1999 F-350 SUPER DUTY DUALLY. FROM RECORDS FROM THE PERVIOUS OWNERS PROBLEMS AND THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS TRUCK, I CAN NOT BELIVE SERVICE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THE PARKING BRAKE BLEW WHEN I WAS ON ALMOST LEVEL GROUND AND NEED LEAST TO SAY THE TRUCK ROLLED AND CRASHED, LUCKY NOT ONE WAS HURT.BUT IT DID QUIT A BIT OF DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AND MY TRAILOR. NOW I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM ON THESE FORDS BUT NOT YET ON MY PERTICULARE TRUCK. ALSO IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS I HAVE PUT IN A NEW CLUTCH WITCH IS EXPECTED.

PLEASE HAVE SOME ONE CONTACT ME I NEED SOME GUIDENCE, INFORMATION, HELP I HAVE HAD NO HELP FROM FORD.

TRUCK WAS PARKED IN GARAGE, FACING OUT OF GARAGE. TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR 4 DAYS. TRUCK HAD HANDBREAK SET WHEN PARKED. I STARTED TRUCK UP DUE TO THE NUMBER OF DAYS IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN TO CHARGE BATTERY. VERFYED THAT HANDBRAKE WAS SET ( RED BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON) AND PLACE TRUCK IN NEUTERAL (5-SPEED). (GARAGE DOOR WAS OPEN DUE TO TRUCK RUNNING). I WENT INSIDE AND ABOUT 5 MIN PASSED LOOKED OUT KITCHEN WINDOW SAW TRUCK AT END OF DRIVE WAY. TRUCK WAS STOPPED BY TOW HOOK HITTING TREE. DRIVER SIDE MIRROW HIT TREE AND WAS FOLDED BACK.

A BRIDGESTONE TIRE THAT WAS 14 MONTHS OLD AND HAD ONLY 14,000 MILES SEPARATED CAUSING A 2 FOOT SECTION TO PEEL OFF AND DAMAGE THE VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

DOME LIGHT INSIDE CAB WILL SOMETIMES STAY ON AFTER OPENING A DOOR. WHEN ACCELERATION OCCURS LIGHT WILL GO OUT, WHEN VEHICLE SLOWS LIGHT COMES BACK ON. EXTREMELY AGGRAVIATING WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE, ESPECILLAY AT NIGHT.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH BRAKING ON THE DIESEL TRUCKS. WHEN APPLING THE BRAKES IN A PANIC SITUATION AND ONE OR BOTH OF THE REAR WHEELS LOOSE TRACTION, THE RABS KICKS IN AND THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY SUDDEN INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT AT THE SAME TIME IF AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO STEER AROUND AN ACCIDENT SITUATION. THESE DIESEL TRUCKS USE A HYDRO BOOST SYSTEM RUN OFF OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP FOR THE BRAKES. THERE IS ALSO A SUDDEN DECREASE, MANY TIMES SEVERE, IN BRAKING POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN THE BRAKES IS TO RELEASE THEM AND REAPPLY THEM, TAKING GREAT CARE NOT TO SKID ONE OR BOTH OF THE REAR TIRES. TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS, IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND REPLACING PARTS WILL NOT REPAIR THE SITUATION. THE MASTER CYLINDER AND CALIPERS ARE ALL WORKING PROPERLY AND THIS TRUCK HAS DONE IT FROM THE DAY IT WAS NEW. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN A PANIC STOP AND HAD ONE OR BOTH OF THE REAR WHEELS START TO SKID. THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN GOES TO THE FLOOR, BRAKING IS SEVERELY DIMINISHED AND THE ABILITY TO STOP IS VIRTUALLY NON-EXISTENT. ONLY BY RELEASING AND RE-APPLYING THE BRAKES CAN BRAKING BE RESTORED AND IT IS ONLY THROUGH THIS EFFORT AND THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS OF DRIVING POLICE VEHICLES THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.

CLAIM NUMBER 53-C783-964 - WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER, CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN, HOWEVER CONSUMER COULD NOT STEER VEHICLE CAUSING CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL AND HIT A POLE, CONSUMER ADDS THAT AFTER PURCHASE OF VEHICLE, VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALER THREE TIMES BECAUSE OF STEERING PROBLEMS. *TT

CLAIM NUMBER 22-V597-733 - WHILE PULLING A TRAILER IN BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS, STEERING SHAFT WHICH CONNECTS TO THE PITMAN ARM BROKE CAUSING CONSUMER TO LOSE ALL CONTROL OF STEERING AND VEHICLE TO FLIP, NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. *TT

THE FRONT TIRES ALWAYS NEED AIR, THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE TIRES MAY BE MISLABLED (THE TIRE SAYS 2 PLY BUT IT SHOULD HAVE AN 8 OR 10 PLY RATING), THE TIRE INFLATION SPEC IS 65 BUT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER HAS 80, THE OUTER DRIVERS SIDE TIRE HAS A BULDGE AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THERE ARE NUMEROUS CRACKS IN THE TIRE SIDEWALL WHICH APPEARS TO BE DRY ROT (GENERAL GRIPPER LT235/85R16).

I NEARLY DIED AS A RESULT OF A FRONT, PASSENGER TIRE THAT FAILED CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY AFTER I TRIED TO CORRECT AFTER THE BLOWOUT. I STRUCK THE END OF AN IRRIGATION BRIDGE AND ROLLED MY TRUCK, BREAKING MY NECK, FRACTURING MY SKULL AND BEING HOSPITILIZED FOR SEVEN WEEKS. I HAD A PRIVATE ENGINEER WHO IS A CONSULTANT FOR GOODYEAR LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF MY TIRE AND GIVE A REPORT THAT IT WAS A FAILURE DUE TO RUNNING LOW ON AIR. I HAD MY TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED 1 DAY PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT AND HAVE PROOF OF THAT. I FOUND TWO PARTS OF THE TIRE AND THE WHEEL RECENTLY AND AS THE ENGINEER SAID I WOULD FIND MELT NYLON ON THE SIDEWALL, I DID FIND MELTED NYLON. I HAVE THE TWO PIECES OF THE TIRE IN MY POSSESSION. (TIRESIZE: 235/85R 16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/85R 16 )

ON OCTOBER 17, 1998 AFTER DRIVING ON A US MONTANA 300 MILES I HAD A FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLOW OUT. THE LAST I RECALL WAS JERKING THE WHEEL AND WHEN I CORRECTED I STRUCK A SMALL IRRIGATION BRIDGE IN THE ON COMING LANE CAUSING MY TRUCK TO ROLL. THIS CAUSED ME TO FRACTURE MY SKULL, BREAK MY NECK, AND BE HOSPITILIZED FOR SEVEN WEEKS. I HAD AN ENGINEER, WHO IS A PRIVATE CONSULTANT FOR GOODYEAR, EXAMINE THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF MY TIRE AND SENT ME A REPORT SAYING THE TIRE FAILED DUE TO LW AIR PRESSURE. I HAD MY TIRE CHECKED BY A CERTIFIED FORD DEALERSHIP THE DAY PRIOR TO MY ACCIDENT AND I HAVE PROOF OF THAT. IF THIS TIRE IS THE FAULT OF GOODYEAR IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE OTHERS NEARLY DIE LIKE I DID. I HAVE TWO PEICES OF THE TIRE AND THE RIM IN MY POSSESSION. THE ENGINEER SAID IF I FOUND THE TIRE I MAY FIND MELTED NYLON ON THE SIDEWALL WHICH I DID FIND THE TIRE. IT DOES HAVE MELTED NYLON ON THE RUBBER AND IT IS A 360 DEGREE SEPERATION WITH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE TIRE STILL ON THE RIM AND THE TREAD SECTION MISSING. (TIRESIZE: 235/85R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/85R16 )

A FEW WEEKS AGO, I WAS TRAVELLING HOME WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE OF MY 1999 FORD SUPER DUTY BLEW OUT. AS I WAS DRIVING, A HEARD A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY A HARD PULL TO THE RIGHT AND MAJOR VIBRATIONS IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE TRUCK OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NO ONE IN THE TRUCK WAS INJURED. IT APPEARS TO ME BY LOOKING AT THE TIRE, THAT THE TREAD HAS SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL ALL THE WAY AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE. I TOOK THE TIRE INTO FIRESTONE TO LET THEM EXAMINE IT. THE MANAGER HAS GIVEN ME A REPORT THAT STATES "FOUND NO VISUAL PROBLEMS IN THE TIRE". WITH THIS TYPE OF BLOWOUT, I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO SEE SOME SCRAP STEEL IN THE TREAD OR A LARGE NAIL HOLE (OR SOMETHING). WE FOUND NO INDICATIONS THAT THE TIRE WAS INJURED. THE TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLACTED BECAUSE I ALWAYS MAKE IT A POINT TO CHECK AIR PRESSURE ON ALL LONG ROAD TRIPS, JUST AS I DID ON NOVEMBER 19, 2000. THE TIRES HAVE MORE THAN HALF TREAD REMAINING ON THEM. I'VE REGISTERED COMPLAINTS WITH BOTH FORD AND FIRESTONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. NO ONE IS RESPONDING OTHER THAN TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS NOT A TIRE THAT IS BEING RECALLED.6 MAYBE IT SHOULD BE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE.
