2003 FORD F SUPER DUTY

THOR MOTORCOACH. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO KIDDIE PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO AN UNKNOWN PERSON(S);THEREFORE, THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE. *JS

THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS AT STOPS. I'VE HAD SERVICE TECHNICIANS CHECK THE SYSTEMS, TWO MASTERCYLINDERS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED THAT DID'NT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE DETERMINED THE ABS VALVE IS THE ISSUE AND WILL NOT FAIL ON A HARD BRAKE.. I DON'T THINK THIS IS A SAFE SITUATION AND AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT

MY TRUCK HAS 101K MILES ON IT AND IT JUST STARTED STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING( ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS), ALSO WHILE JUST IDLING IT STALLS(STATIONARY). I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD FOR THEM TO HOOK IT UP ON THEIR COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. AFTER HOURS THERE AND IT STALLING OUT AND NOT RESTARTING THEY COULDN'T TELL WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND CHARGED ME $125. AS I WAS LEAVING THEY SAID CHANGE YOUR MAF SENSOR AND #8 COIL AND IT'LL BE FINE. SO, I DID JUST THAT IN THE PARKING LOT AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. IT STALLED OUT MANY TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. I THOUGHT BY TAKING IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP (THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS FOR THEIR PRODUCTS) I WOULD GET IT FIXED. AND MAKE MY TRUCK SAFE AGAIN. I WAS WRONG. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME WITH THIS. THANKS

F-350 CREW CAB 4X4, DUALLY TRUCK WITH FORD FACTORY ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS. THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL STARTING LEAKING AIR AND WHEN CHECKED, A CRACK BEGINNING AT THE VALVE STEM WAS PROPAGATING TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL AND CRACKS WERE ALSO DEVELOPING ALONG THE BASE OF THE SPOKES, CIRCUMSCRIBING SEVERAL SPOKES. TOOK THE LEFT SIDE FRONT WHEEL OFF AND OBSERVED THE SAME CIRCUMSCRIBING CRACKS DEVELOPING AT THE BASE OF THE SPOKES. POTENTIALLY SEPARATING THE WHEEL CENTER FROM THE TIRE. THE LEAKING TIRE/WHEEL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE, THE OTHER CRACKED WHEEL IS STILL ON THE TRUCK, ONLY HAVE ONE SPARE AVAILABLE.

MY TRUCK HAS SPIT OUT TWO SPARK PLUGS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THESE PLUGS HAD TO BE REPAIRED WITH A HELL-COIL AND THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX. IT COST ME $400 TO REPAIR BOTH. MY TRUCK HAS OVER 100,000 MILES AND SPIT OUT THE FIRST AT 120,000.

SPARK PLUG SHOOT OUT OF ENGINE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY 4 THREADS TO SCREW INTO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS TRUCK TWO TIMES WHEN IT WAS YOUR WITH THE FACTORY PLUGS. AND NOW WITH OTHERS THAT WERE THAT WERE DO TO SPECS BY FORD. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO PEOPLE THAT STICK THEIR HAND IT THERE WHEN THEY SEE A FLOPPY COIL AND DON'T KNOW THEY CAN BE SHOCKED. PLEASE DO SOMETHING PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME WHEN DRIVING, THERE IS A LOUD NOISE AND THEN IT STARTS RUNNING DIFFERENT ANSWERS SOUNDS LIKE A LAWNMOWER WITHOUT A MUFFLER. IT IS SCARY AND CAUSED ME A PANIC ATTACK AS I HAD TO FIND MY WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY WONDERING IF IT IS GOING TO EXPLODE. IT NOR FIXED BECAUSE IT COST TO MUCH AND MY HAND IT TWITCHY FROM THE SHOCK IT GAVE ME.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS TRUCK, IT HAD 30,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM THE DEALER IN 02/2005. THERE IS NO FRONT END ALIGNMENT ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK. WHEEL HUB BEARINGS FAILURES, FRONT AXLE, TRUCK HAD OVER 200,000 MILES BEFORE THE FIRST WHEEL HUB BEARING FAILURE, SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 7 WHEEL HUBS BEARING FAILURES ON MY (2003 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY XL 4X4 7.3 POWER STROKE DIESEL), THE TRUCK ONLY HAS ROAD MILES AND I DO NOT TAKE IT 4 WHEELING. IT IS MY WORK AND EVERY DAY DRIVING TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 320,000 MILES ON IT NOW.( I LOVE THIS TRUCK) THE LAST SET OF WHEEL HUBS WAS INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK 04/01/2015 AND I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN, SAD DAY FOR ME. 08/22/2015. THEY ONLY HAD 5,000 MILES ON THEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE FLAW IN THE HUBS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BUT MORE OVER YOU SHOULD GET MORE THAN 5,000 MILES OUT OF THESE PARTS.

THE PROBLEM: 6.0L HEAD BOLTS. PROBABLY THE MOST WELL-KNOWN AND PROBLEMATIC IS THE ISSUE WITH THE FACTORY HEAD BOLTS. ESSENTIALLY, THE BOLTS STRETCH, WHICH RESULTS IN A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IS WHY THERE IS A LAWSUITE PENDING DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND OTHERS WITH THIS 6.0L ENGINE. THE PROBLEM: EGR COOLER THE 6.0L DIESEL HAS A BAD REPUTATION FOR BLOWN HEAD GASKETS AND STICKING EGR (EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION) VALVE.

PULLED OVER AND FOUND THAT THE THIRD SPARK PLUG ON PASSENGERS SIDE HAD BLOWN OUT AND WAS LAYING ON TOP OF MOTOR ALONG WITH COIL PACK HAD BROKE OFF. HAD TO USE A KIT TO TAP OUT HOLE AND INSTALL INSERT. PROBABLY WILL BE MORE PROBLEMS IN FUTURE BUT WE WILL SEE. JUST DON'T SEEM SAFE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN WITH THE FIRE THREAT THAT COULD CAUSE.
