2005 FORD F-650 SD — Complaint #569310
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about PARKING BRAKE:DRIVELINE:HYDRAULIC filed January 16, 2006
NHTSA complaint #569310 (ODI reference 10147829) concerns a 2005 FORD F-650 SD and was filed on January 16, 2006. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 1, 2005. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as parking brake:driveline:hydraulic, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-650 SD cohort independently describe similar parking brake:driveline:hydraulic failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 FORD F-650 SD shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I AM WRITING IN REFERENCE TO A RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED ON OCTOBER 11, 2005 REGARDING A POSSIBLE DRIVELINE PARKING BRAKE ANCHOR BOLT FRACTURE ON MY F-650 FORD TRUCK. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FROM HUBCO FORD IN ALLENTOWN PA. IT HAS SINCE COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT HUBCO FORD, WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, HAS CLOSED ITS DOORS AND NO LONGER CAN SERVICE THIS VEHICLE. NOT ONLY WAS I NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE CLOSURE, BUT ALSO, THE CLOSEST SERVICE CENTER THAT CAN HANDLE THIS SIZE TRUCK, IS LOCATED IN ANOTHER STATE. THIS REPAIR MAY ONLY REQUIRE LESS THAN HALF A DAY TO FIX, BUT IT IS GOING TO TAKE AT LEAST THAT LONG OR BETTER GETTING THE TRUCK THERE AND BACK. THIS HAS CREATED A HARDSHIP IN TRYING TO GET THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS FORD''S RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS WHEN A DEALERSHIP HAS CLOSED ITS'' DOORS AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE WITHIN A 100 MILE RANGE THAT NOT ONLY CAN''T REPAIR THIS VEHICLE, BUT THERE ARE NO DEALERSHIP TO HANDLE POSSIBLE FUTURE PURCHASES OF A VEHI
