NHTSA complaint #10006064, filed 2003-02, 4,678 miles“Original bushings on fork were plastic. Ford has since changed these to another material. According to the dealers mechanic there have been several problems of this nature. I've contacted Ford motors and they have failed to return my calls. I've asked for financial reimbursment for this repair. Again no contact has been made. Can you help me get some results? Thanks.”
NHTSA complaint #737958, filed 2000-12“Severe vibration at any speed seemingly from front drive train (bearings, axels, hubs)? The only way I can drive the truck is to engage the front left axel.otis Ford has been trying to find the problem for two and a half months replacing parts that didn't solve the problem. I am waiting now for three weeks for parts they have ordered to try to fix this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #708502, filed 1999-07“I have taken my truck in to the dealer three times to get them to fix the problem. They thought they had it fixed the first time. The other times I was told that Ford was aware of the problem, but didn't know how to fix it yet! A popping noise comes from the rear of my 4x4 crewcab every time that I go over a bump at slow speeds.”
NHTSA complaint #703332, filed 1999-02“The contact owns a 1999 Ford f250. While driving above 30 MPH, the vehicle pulled to the left and right.
