“Takata inflators; my vehicle started all types of problems intermittent ones that cost me several thousand dollars never fixing the problem this is were it all began,,.my vehicle died going up fairly steep hill to grave yard, it immediately rolled back shoving a family members vehicle down hill a ways until they turned away from the cliff edge leaving me all alone.until going through a run off ditch stopping over it into 2 trees. I had no steering no brakes and thank god the trees were there to stop my truck if not their was a 100 foot cliff next.. …”

“At just under 25,000 miles, my rotors were warped on my 2004 f350 diesel dually (4x4 8'bed crew cab). I do haul trailers under 8000 lbs occasionally but there has been no undo stress on this truck to warrant such a condition so early.

This definitely seems like a defect.”

“Engine began bucking, sudden power loss and power steering and power brake loss.

Attempts to pump the pedal and increase the pressure enough for future attempts at stopping the truck were unsuccessful. Inspection of the vehicle by certified mechanics revealed rust buildup on/near a weak spot on one of the braided, flexible front brake lines which had bursted, virtually making the brakes useless by disallowing pressure to be built up in the system. …”

“When truck originally purchased bubble on tire, and dealer said they all come that way, tire went flat while parked about a month later, no holes, we were told tire was no good, had to be replaced.
