Read complaints for FORD F-250 SD (2000)


Ford f-250 superduty pick-up truckead on collision with garbage truck oth air bags did not deployseat belt (worn by driver) did not latch.

Ford and "takata recall" the safety belts in the back outside as well as the middle seat belt does not lock at all, the muffler on the bottom back underneath the car is hanging enouph to strap it to car. The front bumper is cracked and held together by plastic tywraps. The light in the dash light is out and doesn't light up at all besides a person with the airbag diploid showing. Back seat door lock switch doesn't work and the back door right side window doesn't go up and down. The back seat little window is broken out. The back brake light doesn't work. The heating and cooling system doesn't come on at all including defrosters. The wind shield is held on from what looks like foam glue. The underside of the vehicle is rusted and the front side wheel and brake are rusted, as well as the front side back weal baring and break, drivers side back rear wheel barring and break are rusted. The horn does not work at all and the air bag light is on. The fan doesn't blow at all, the car just starts making loud noises, and the theft light seams to be on in the middle of the front dash bord. The reason is due to previouse owner as the car was like this before i baught the vehicle so the reason for the condition is due to unknown reason of previouse owner not taking care of it. I perchased the vehicle at britney vanstratens home 122 northgate eastates new london, wi, 54961 on 6/5/2018.

April 2004.faulty cable in steeing column.this cable causes a failure which disables the driver side air bag it also disables the horn and cruise control. After going to several discussion forums this is a common problem affecting 100's perhaps 100 of ford super duty f250, f350 vehicle.per the chat pages ford was able to get around this issue by stating the faulty cabling effects the cruise control only.this is a misconseption. Also based on these chat pages this problem effects most f250,350 from 1999 - 2003.the average failure timeline is 45000 - 70000 milies.mine occured at 68000.

Dt*:the contact stated while traveling at an undetermined speed on a dirt road, the driver became distracted and lost control of the vehicle.the vehicle left the road, and hit several pine trees head on.a towing hook on the front driver side became logged in a tree and resulted in the vehicle over turning. Once the vehicle overturned most of the impact was on the front driver side.only an occupant in the rear passenger seat was wearing a seat belt.there were five occupants in the vehicle at the time of the accident.the driver and the occupant seated directly behind the driver lost their lives as a result of the accident.all other occupants received minor injuries.the police filed a report at the scene.the vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance agency, but did not make any determination as to why the airbags did not deploy.the manufacturer has not been contacted.

Wiring in the steering column has been coming apart and pieces falling out of the column.the cruise control, airbag and horn are all not working as a result of this failure.it is a flat (ribbon wire) wire that appears to run from the steering wheel through the center of the column.

The air bag light was on when the vehicle was delivered, required replacement of the air bag module on two occasions. *mjs

Driving home at about 55mph noticed a very bad hesitation in 5.4l engine and apparent misfire.after pulling over and shutting engine off, noticed # 3 coil broken and sparkplug laying by fuel rail.spark plug shot out of cylinder head due to poor engineering by ford.1999-2002 f250 5.4l heads only have 4 threads that hold spark plugs.

On my way home from work i heard an unusual noise eminating from under the hood of my 2000 ford f-250 super duty, 6.8 (v-10) truck. I thought it was an xhaust manifold leak. I pulled onto a gravel road, lifted the hood and climbed up to look to see what i could find. Imagine my suprise to see a left bank spark plug, #8 cylinder, lying against the fuel rail and the coil firing against the head. I limped home, wondering all the while how much fuel was pouring into the oil pan!i used a strong flash light to peer into the spark plug hole and found to my suprise, very little if any threads to contian the spark plug. I then used a 90 deg. Pick to "feel" the threads. None. I called joe machens ford in columbia, mo. To see if this might be a common problem. They informed me they see quite a few of the 5.4 liter cylinder heads in for repair and had had one 6.8. They informed me that ford had issued a tsb for the lightning with the 5.4 ( i can see why, a compressor on top of the engine can create problems) other than the aformentioned tsb, no others exist and ford has yet to acknowledge the problem. I checked for info via the google search engine and wasn't able to find much information. I probably used the incorrect terminology. Who knows how much of the alumnium threads were ingested into the cylinder, which in turn will cause scarring and oil control problems. I do know however, due to what i was told by the person at joe machens ford in columbia, mo., it seems as though ford has not practiced due diligence as to finding a suitable cost efective repair or replacement for this problem.

I had a spark plug blow outof the cylinder head, as many other people have.this is a manufacturing defect, and they know it, since they changed the design.there should be a recall for this, since it is a safety issue, and if i cannot fix it, itwill cost me $2400 for a new cylinder head.

Approximately 1 hour after being parked in parking stall at my residence, neighbors noticed fire coming from the hood and underneath the vehicle (the fire originated on the driver's side).they attempted to put out the fire and called 911.san jose fire department responded to the call and finished putting out the fire.the vehicle had visible burnt wiring, right side fender damage from heat (inside and outside) and the right driver's side tire sustained damage due to melting debris falling on tire.the fire department took a report of the incident.as i have relayed this event to others, they have mentioned that this is probably a "recall fire" and that i should report this incident.

My cps in my 2000 7.3l truck failed.

My complaint is about the cps (camshaft position sensor) on the ford 7.3l power stroke engines.it seems that most/all vehicles equipped with this sensor have experienced failure, which results in the vehicle stalling.i belong to several forums and nearly everyone has had a problem with that sensor and it is "rule of thumb" to carry one in your glove box for when it goes bad.this has become such a problem that you can now buy the sensors on ebay, people have bought these by the truckload to sell since they know of the problem.why should we consumers have to worry about such an important component of the engine failing?we spend 20-30-40k dollars on these vehicles and can be left stranded on the side of the road due to this one part failing over and over again.please, someone do something about this!!!

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250 sd. The contact stated that he heard a clicking noise and the lights on the instrument panel flickered on and off. Once he turned the heater control off, the flickering stopped but recurred within a few minutes. The contact parked the vehicle and when he returned, the vehicle was attempting to start independently. He removed the positives and negatives from the solenoid to correct the failure. He then reattached and the failure recurred. In addition, smoke was emitting from the vehicle.the vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The current mileage was approximately 218,000 and the failure mileage was approximately 217,000.

Occasional engine stall when windshield wiper is turned on or on intermittent setting. Occasional stalls when steering is turned quickly left to start turning from standing position at intersections.ford service department was unable to find cause or make corrections.

While driving my 2000 f-250 ford pick up truck equiped with the 7.3 liter diesel engine, the engine suddenly stopped running, without any warning signs. This occured while i was entering a circle intersection, fortunately very early in the morning before any rush hour traffic. When the engine shut down i lost both the power steering and the power braking systems. I was starting my turn to enter the circle and at first thought that i had a front flat tire as the vehicle barely responded to my efforts to gradually turn to the right. Then, when i tried to stop it took at least two to three times the distance to come to a stop, as it usually does, even with greatly increased pressure to the brake pedal. If ther had been a vehicle in front of me or another sort of obstruction i could have easily hit it. I was able to return home, a distance of approx 2/3 miles , during which the vehicle stalled out 4 more times, with the same problems of very poor steering and braking . The repair shop replaced an electrical componet refered to as a camshaft position sensor at a cost of approx $377.00 . I was informed that this particular vehicle and engine combination usually have this same problem of failure of this sensor without any warning, e.g. Ther were no dash warning lights or any warning of any sort and the engines can stall out either running at 65 mph or at idle or anywhere in between. I was fortunate, in that i was going slow and that there was no traffic.

Vehicle died suddenly and failed to restart.cps was replaced, vehicle ran.

1. Truck running correctly.2.engine stopped, pulled off road, tow required to ford,rockland maine .3. Cps replaced, engine running fine.nhtsa action #: pe06011synchronizer or cmp sensor.

I have a 2000 f 250 diesel pickup. The engine has stalls and thus you loose brakes and power steering. It has happened while going a loww speed 2x recently.also while stopped . I had the camshaft sensor when the truck was about 3 years old. It is now occuring more often.

Cam position sensor/synchronizer failure on 2000 ford f250 superduty with 7.3l power stroke diesel engine @ 64477 miles.engine stopped running while driving @ 40 miles/hour on secondary road.loss of power brakes and steering. Vehicle towed to dealer.replace part fmc f7tz 12k073 a.total charge $503.76.

Came out from work to go home, truck would not start, just filled the parking lot with white smoke. Cps sensor had failed with no warning. Got a ride home and next day purchased a replacement sensor. Installed it that day and this one lasted about 9 months and had to be replaced again when it failed. If this sensor were to fail while driving, lost of steering and braking would occur.

Vehicle was parked outside the owners homeand it caught on fire. Owner contacted the manufacturer. Currently the manufacturer was recalling several similar vehicles for this problem. However, this vehicle was not included in the recall....

Consumer complained about the electrical system. At first, vehicle lost cruise control.then it lost the brake lights. When taken to be serviced, it was determined that the failure was due to a blown out wiring harness connected to the cruise control.

Ten minutes after parking the vehicle it caught on fire. The fire department was contacted to extinguish the fire. The fire seeme to have started under the hood on the driver's side.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f250 hd.every other day, the brake lights and turn signal lights stop working.the contact must constantly replace the fuses.the vehicle was taken to a mechanic and he diagnosed failure in the wiring.he stated that the five round wiring harnesses in which to tow a camper was put in pooly.the current mileage was 109,513 and failure mileage was 94,650.

I have a f250 ford super duty 7.3l diesel,year 200 101,000 miles.while my wife was taking the kids to school a fire started under the hood with the cruise deactivation switch.this is in a recall for f150 and vans but not my f250 diesel.this fire was flaming under the hood when my wife pulled into a gas station.according to zford there are no recalls for the f250 with the same part

My cps failed while driving and the engine stalled leaving me with limited steering and braking. The truck is a ford f-250 with the 7.3 powerstroke diesel. The part was replaced under warranty but i had to pay a $100 deductible.

Wife returned home wiith complaint of smell and smoke from engine compartment. I opened the hood and found flames coming form master cylinder area. Upon further inspection the fire was centered on the brake pressure switch, at the electrical connection.

2000f-250 super-crewheavy duty p/u caught on fireand burned up the wiring andfuse panel along with the master cylinder cover.ford has not returned my phone calls.ford representative said it would be 5 business days before anyone called, itwas the second week and no contactwas made.

There were no particular events leading up to the failure. When starting the vehicle engine, the engine will not keep running on its own. To keep the engine running light pressure must be applied to the accelerator to maintain an 800 to 1000 rpm.the vehicle can be driven, however, the left foot must be used for braking since the right foot must be used to keep continuous pressure on the accelerator to prevent the engine from stalling. The accelerator issue will sometimes correct itself after the engine has been running for a period of time after startup, however, in most cases this presents a dangerous situation. When the engine idle corrects itself, the rpms will take a +1000 rpm jump from the current rpm position. For example, if you are stopped at a stop light only a few feet from the car in front of you with light pressure on the brake, the jump from 1000 rpm to 2000 rpm may send the vehicle lurching forward rear-ending the vehicle in front of you if you do not slam on the brakes quickly! another situation that has also caused a "close call" is when driving the vehicle 5 mph at 1000 rpm in a parking lot. The reason this situation is even more dangerous is due to the fact that the brake is typically not being applied at all, so when the +1000 rpm jump to 2000 rpms occurs it can send your vehicle lurching forward into another vehicle or pedestrian that is crossing in front of the vehicle. I attempted to fix the failure by removing the air breather assembly and cleaning the intake throat with carbarator cleaner, however, this did not resolve the failure.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250 sd. While driving approximately 55 mph, a loud noise was heard under the hood. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the spark plug thread in the engine head failed and caused the spark plug to separate from the engine. The contact indicated that the failure occurred on three separate occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000.

Spark plug blew out of motori am the original owner of my truck. I have always had the ford dealership perform the tune-ups because i am aware of the ongoing problems with the ford 5.4 engine and spark plugs. I had my daughter in the truck with me at the time of the spark plug coming out and catching on fire. This is completely un-acceptable, ford motor company obviously knows about the problem. But nothing has been done to correct the problem. I am extremely upset about the dangerous situation this put me and my family in. There is nothing ford could ever do to help "make things right" if something were to happen to my family. I sure hope that ford can be responsible enough to correct this problem before someone gets hurt.

My year 2000 ford f-250 truck burst into flames in my driveway today an hour and a half after i parked it. It's a total loss.

My 2000 f-250 v-10 pickup has only 53k miles. It suddenly started running very rough this week. I took it to three shops and paid for diagnostics. All three gave me different reports stating that the engine is blown. I called the dealer and fomoco in detroit. I was told that i am up the creek...literally. The repair is too costly for me and i can't afford a new truck as this pile cost me almost 18k including finance charges. My warranty was up last year as i bought the 100k ext warr. I googled the v-10 f-250 and found many complaints involving coil pack problems as the root of this engine's blowing. The coil packs are not the problem, but indeed cause for us consumers to go to the dealer where they bilk thousands out of us since these engines blow very easily.

2000 ford f-250 6.8l engine blew spark plug out of head at 73,300 miles.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250 sd.the contact was driving 40 mph when the spark plugs disconnected from the engine. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer who drilled into the engine and replaced the spark plugs but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and there were no further repairs.the failure mileage was 103,000 and the current mileage was 103,050. The vin was unavailable.

2000 ford f250 v10 spark plug blew out of head, threads are stripped.

I was driving my ford f250 with the 5.4 triton v8 gas engine down the road when it sounded as if the engine had blown. Upon investigation at a local repair shop it was determined the left rear spark plug had blown out of the cylinder head. The cost for the repair was quoted between $300 to $3000 pending on how bad thedamage was to the spark plug threads. It is currently parked until the repair can be made.

Dt:while braking the vehicle lurches forward and then it shuts down, which causes limited steering and braking abilities.the consumer has taken the vehicle to the dealer approximately three times, and was told that they couldn't do anything about it unless the problem occurred for them.on may 30, 2005 the consumer was driving the vehicle and had to brakebecause of the traffic in front of him, when this occurred, the vehicle lurched forward and the engine just cut out, like it was never started.this caused the consumer's vehicle to rear end the vehicle in front of him.the vehicle was taken to a body shop and it was repaired.theconsumer spoke to ford and was told that there was nothing they could do.per consumer, none of the above is accurate.the consumer wrote:while braking, the rpm revved up, the vehicle lurched forward, then the rpmdropped and the engine had shut down.the check engine light illuminated.itwould take several attempts to start the vehicle .this would occur intermittently.each time the consumer had taken the vehicle in for repairs, the dealer would be unable to find the problem.other problems:the cruise control was inoperative and the vehicle would die when the brakes were applied at times.ford recalled the same make model years 2003-2005.the consumer felt that the recall started with his vehicle's year make and model.*sc

I own a 2000 ford f-250 powerstroke 7.3 liter truck that was recalled for a camshaft position sensor that fails intermittently. It will leave the truck not running, and can result in not having powersteering or brakes. I had the sensor replaced and my biggest complaint is that it made my truck run worse. It now has a misfire that is directly attributed to the 'new' improved sensor. I am not pleased and would like some action.

Driving at 50 mph truck stalled got off road restarted was ok for 3 weeks, did same thing ,was ok for 1 week, did same thing. Took truck to ford they replaced camshaft position sensor.

Cam shaft position sensor failed and the truck stalled and had to be towed, new part was replaced at dealer under warranty, old part kept at dealer.

I have been having a stalling issue with my 2000 ford sd 7.3 since i bought the truck this summer. I have brought the truck into the dealer for this problem 2 times. The recall was done on the cps on dec 18th 2007, and it is still stalling. As far as i can tell, ford has no idea why this is happening. The truck seems to run perfectly normal and it just stalls like you shut the key off.and sometimes it stalls and will come back quick enough to stay running. When this happens the ses light and the wait light come on and then go out like nothing happened.

My 2000 ford f250 truck quit in the middle of a busy street in my town. There was a recall for a cam position sensor but did not have it replaced yet. I did have spare and replaced it myself. It did fix the problem. Also had a friend reset the check engine light.

Dt*:the contact stated while driving at various speeds on several occasions the vehicle stalled.the vehicle was maneuvered off the road without incident and restarted after a few minutes.the vehicle was driven to the dealer where the cam position sensor was replaced.the problem has not reoccurred.

A broken clamp on the lower hose caused a coolant leak on two occasions.nlm

While driving 65 mph on the freeway, the spark plug blew out of the engine. Now i am looking for a way to repair this. There is no way to put an new spark plug in the vehicle. I researched this problem online and seems to be a big problem with ford vehicles.

Spark plug blown out of cylinder head. Cylinder head is stripped.

Started engine, heard pop sound, engine suddenly ran bad. Mechanic said spark plug blew out (stripped). Mechanic said this is common ford problem, a defect, and expensive.

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 35 mph on a city street, there was a loud banging noise coming from the engine compartment followed by the vehicle operating at a reduced speed.the contact pulled the vehicle over for inspection.after opening the hood, a single spark plug was sitting atop the engine.the vehicle was towed to the dealer to await further inspection.the manufacturer was alerted.

I also have had a spark plug blowout on my 2000 f250 v-10 engine, i have contacted your company and have been offered no help at all, not even to help get the tooli had to pay $250 for to fix your defect!! there is no other way to describe thisproblem!!

1. Truck running correctly.2.engine stopped, pulled off road, tow required to ford,rockland maine .3. Cps replaced, engine running fine.nhtsa action #: pe06011synchronizer or cmp sensor.

Spark plug ejection in my 2000 ford f250 5.4l engine.this is the 3rd time in 2 years this has happened. It is my understanding this is common with these engines and there are no recalls by ford motors.before the spark plug is ejected, there is a loud tapping sound followed by the ejection shortly thereafter. This is a serious issue because fuel escapes from the hole and can be ignited by the spark plug that is still attached to the coil pack and firing. This can cause an engine fire and worse. Ford should back up their product and fix this issue.

Ford 5.4l spark plugs. I just experienced my third blowout. Luckily, i was close to home and did unplug the fuel injector. Someone less knowledgeable may have driven their vehicle and with unburned gasoline pumping onto a hot engine, with the blownout spark plug near by, thus causing a fire, or worse an explosion. It is my recommendation that ford be required to replace the cylinder heads on the defective vehicles, at their expense, with their newly redesigned cylinder heads. If the cylinder heads were not defective, they would not have redesigned them!!!does someone need to die in a serious automobile fire, before they are forced to rectify their problem? if they can ask the federal government to bail them out, they can step up and take care of the mess they have created.

I was traveling on i-90 in erie,paand a spark plug blewout of the motor.i lost all power and was nearly hit from behind.the truck is a ford f-250 with a tritan 5.4 l motor.

2000 f250 super duty...49,000 miles#8 spark plug blew out @ 45 mph.. Limped home....removed head....cracked....$300.00 for reconditioned head.....gaskets, goop, tools,bolts, fixtures..$600.00...........able to do work myself..lucky.....help from ford..ha ha ha....80,000 mileshead gasket other side..already had tools and fixtures.... Guess who got stuck out in the cold again..

Last year about sept 08...my 2000 f-250 10 cylinder p-up started very rough-like. It would not do 50 mph anymore as of that same date. I took it to good-year and to two other garages for estimates as to what went wrong. The 10th valve had stuck. I took it to the dealer and they charged me 4,000 dollars to do a valve job. The truck only had 49k miles on it. The entire rear of the engine required all new plugs and wires.

Ford 250 truck 5.4l triton engine while driving the spark plug blew out of the engine.

My vehicle blows spark plugs out of the engine while driving in extreme high traffic putting me and my passengers lives in danger.

In my 2000 ford f-250 super duty 6.8l v-10 the spark plug blew out of the head causing a very dangerous situation. My truck lost some of its power which was obviously a problem being that i was on the freeway during rush-hour. When i popped the hood, i was amazed to find the spark plug sitting on top of the valve cover with a hole underneath it where exhaust and gas was being ejected rapidly. Had i not turned off the engine quickly, i could have had an engine fire on my hands on the side of the freeway. Ford refuses to fix the problem even though i have done research and found countless other owners of the same vehicle with this exact same problem. They need to be accountable for this problem before someone tries to drive their truck to a repair shop without disconnecting the fuel injector starting a fire under the hood.

Engine spark plug ejection in 200 f250 v-10 engines. Dealer repairing the vehicle, reported that a spark plug detached from the cylinder and/or ejected from the engine. Dealer also noted a letter from ford stating not to attempt to repair but replace head on engine.this is a extreme problems noting ford acknowledges the design flaw and needs replacing with newer design that has a longer thread for the spark plug. Gas spews on the engine when spark plug ejects which in turns causes a fire hazard. Does it take a death or an engine to catch fire for someone to notice a problem????? my husband pulled over as soon as he noticed the sound and the smell of gas. It was a good thing that we were not pulling a trailer or on an interstate at the time of the incident.

Driving to work yesterday evening i stopped to gas up. After fueling the truck i started the engine and heard a loud pop followed by loud engine noise. I shut down the engine to investigate and found the spark plug from the second cylinder on the passenger side ejected destroying the coil in the process. I have yet to repair the problem and have concerns that it will happen again.

Cam position sensor failed on a 2000 ford f250 w/7.3l powerstroke diesel engine.this is the 4th cps i've had in this truck.the truck has 60k miles.

Camshaft position sensor failure at highway speed resulting in engine shutdown/ no power steering or power brakes/ was able to pull off the side of the road with only minor traffic slow down.

2000 ford f-250 7.3 psd engine died while driving, lost power steering and braking took extra effort. Problem was due to camshaft position sensor, replaced it at a cost of $200 and truck is running fine.

2000 f250 power stroke would shut off engine at speed, usually around 40 mph while driving.loss of power included power steering which made it difficult to maneuver vehicle out of traffic.happened several times over the month, once determined was not bad diesel fuel, i took it to the ford dealer.they replaced the camshaft position sensor.researched on web about part and saw a lot of failures related to part, and link to this complaint page from forgotten.com link.part f7tz-12k073-ano check engine light ever appeared during the month, no warning indication from vehicle before engine is shut off while at speed.

Camshaft positions sensor failure nearly causing accident as truck quit running halfway through intersection. Ford cps failures are often and fail for no reason and with no warning.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250 superduty.while driving 40 mph, the engine shut off and the vehicle continued to roll.the driver attempted to depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, but it would not stop.the vehicle finally rolled to a stop in the grass without a crash.the vehicle was very hot and flames were noticed coming from the front of the vehicle, directly under the engine.the fire department arrived and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was burned from the tires to the windshield and dashboard.the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 07v553000 (engine and engine cooling:engine:diesel).the current and failure mileages were approximately 160,000.updated 03/18/09. *ljupdated 03/18/09.

Ford f-250 pickup with 7.3l powerstroke diesel engine.engine shut off without warning due to faulty camshaft positioning sensor (synchronizer).engine shut off caused loss of power steering and brakes making heavy duty vehicle difficult and dangerous to maneuver in traffic.replaced sensor to correct problem.sensor is the same design to another failure is highly possible.

Truck was running sluggish. On night of occurrence, truck stalled in highway, restarted, stalled for good. Waited 2 hours for tow truck on busy highway. Had towed to ford dealership and they replaced the cam shaft position sensor for $430.00. I do not have the old part.

1st day of ownership of 2000 f250, engine inexplicably dies, rendering useless power steering and power breaks.towed to dealer.explained problem to service writer.without even seeing the vehicle, the service writer says "camshaft position sensor."as it turns out, he was right.problem fixed for nearly $500 dollars.

I own a 2000 f250 diesel truck. On october 26, 2006 at approximately 12 midnight while making a left hand turn from a dead stop, crossing over three lanes of traffic traveling no faster then 10 miles per hour the truck cut off halfway across the roadway without any prior warning. I then coasted across the road while cars proceeded to go around me.so as to define what i mean by cut off, and no prior warning, they are as follows:cut off '' engine stopped running completely. I had loss control of the steering to the extent that it required the full use of both arms to be able to even turn the steering wheel. It was as if i had turned the ignition switch to the position just prior to the key removal position.no prior warning '' the truck had not shown any hesitation or inclination to stop running just prior to it cutting off, nor any hesitation or inclination to stop running from the time i had bought the truck new to the time of this incident.my concerns.this incident happened at approximately 12 midnight when the road had very little traffic on it. Had it happened during the daylight hours when the road is heavily traveled. It would be more likely then not that either i, or others would have been in an accident as a result of trying to avoid me. An even worse if i had my trailer attached to the truck, the reason i purchased the truck, there would be no doubt that an accident would of accrued.i had the truck towed to a ford service center. Where they replaced a faulty cam position sensor the next day. Part # f7tz-12k073-a.i spent several hour reading up on the cps today. This problem seems to be quite common as shown on automotive information systems (ais) reports, and elsewhere. Although often there are warning signs ( sluggish performance under load, stalling at idle ) of a faulty sensor quite often they can fail without any warning signs.it was fortuitous that the cps failure on my truck happened when it did.

Failure of camshaft position sensor (cps) caused engine to stall during operation resulting in loss of steering and braking. Fortunately, it was early am and traffic was light allowing me to bring the vehicle to a stop without incident. No advance warning or check engine light.towed to dealer, cps replaced at my expense.

I have two ford pickup trucks with the 7.3 liter diesel engine.both of these trucks have had the cam positions sensor fail.the first time this happened to me i was in the truck and in a bank drive through with the vehicle running.i replaced the sensor at that time and then had the replacement sensor fail in the same vehicle less than 50,000 miles later when i was driving the truck down the road.this could of caused an accident as there was no warning and the engine quit running leaving vehicle with no power.i recently had the sensor fail on my 2nd truck with 7.3 liter diesel engine.this truck was under the 100,000 mile warranty so ford is paying the parts on this but i had the vehicle in for service in december 2005 and they hooked the vehicle up to a diagnostics machine to check for any error codes and were not alerted of any.the sensor failed late in the day and would not allow me to start the vehicle leaving me stranded and requiring to be towed.

When i stated my 2000 ford f250 sd with the 7.3 diesel engine the motor ran rough and would not develop enough power to move.the check engine light came on. After almost an hour of idling the motor developed enough power to move.i took the vehicle to the dealer the next day and was told that the problem was a disconnected/loose wiring harness to the injectors and glow plugs.minor problem till i found out it would take all day to fix and cost $675.i was told this was a common problem with my type vehicle.so i spent the money and the dealer installed a $17.00 part to lock the connectors in place.this is a problem that should never have happened.even a first year engineering student or a person with any common sense would know to install a positive lock connector for an internal wiring harness.i'm just glad the problem showed up when starting and not on the highway going highway speeds with a horse trailer behind.

While on theway home from vacation on 9/18/07 (towing my 32 foot fifth-wheel) my ford f-250 diesel (7.3 liter) started acting as if the rear-end was slipping. The check engine light came on and then the engine stalled. Luckily i was in a construction area at the time and the speed limit was only 35 mph. I pulled over and had to be towed to a ford dealer 10 miles back. Tri star of somerset, pa( which is a ford dealer) determined the problem was the cam shaft sensor. It cost $243.00 for repair and replacement of sensor (which took 8 days due to work load backup). It cost me $200.00 to have my rv towed to a local campground (which i no longer have a receipt for). It cost another $180.00 to keep rv at campground until repairs to truck were completed. In addition to this, it cost $225.68 to rent a car from tri star to continue 200 miles home to wait until truck was repaired. Today i read in the paper that there is a recall on 1997 through 2003 ford superduty trucks. However, my f-250 is not among the recalls (ford/ e-series, excursion, f-450 superduty, f-550 superduty. Old part was kept by tri star but i still have the receipts dated25sept07. What recourse do i have? p.s. Luckily a state patrol officer happened by when this occurred and assisted me in contacting a tow truck co.

Vehicle towed to dealer.replace part fmc f7tz 12k073 a.total charge $503.76.

Ihave had to replace the camshaft position sensor in my 2000 f250 three times now.the part costs over 140 dollars at a ford dealer and i know many many people who have had to replace the same part.it is a design flaw and ford knows it.when i walked in the dealer and said my truck died the first thing the mechanic said was "oh, sounds like a camshaft position sensor".this has left me stranded twice (once in the middle of nowhere on a road trip).

Vehicle - 2000 ford f-250 4x4 7.3l diesel.camshaft position sensor (cps) went out causing vehicle to stall and not start again until part was replaced.engine turned off exiting freeway going approx 65 mph.

Early evening friday, feb 18, 2005, driving 2000 f250 sd psd 7.3-liter diesel @ approx 50 mph, truck bucked a couple of times then engine died, losing all power. Truck was nose into an intersection before i was able to steer it to a stop. Fortunately this did not cause an accident, as the area was suburban and people drive a bit less aggressively than they do in columbus, where i live. I called aaa, had the truck towed to dealer.dealer diagnosed and replaced cam sensor assembly:item f7tz*12k073*asynchronizer asy$185.91, labor of $106.32, misc charges of $7.44; subtotal 299.67, plus tax of $20.97.grand total out of my pocket $320.64 fortunately i had aaa deluxe; otherwise the towing would have cost me an additional $40.

I was traveling down hwy 174 in sc at around 10:00 pm when my ford f250 7.3l diesel truck began to knock and finally shut off in the highway. The vehicle would not restart, and had to be towed back to my house, and then to ravenel ford the following day where they diagnosed the failure as cam position sensor and said that this was a common occurrence and recommended that i keep a spare one in the glove box. The total repair bill was $453.42.

My cps failed while driving and the engine stalled leaving me with limited steering and braking. The truck is a ford f-250 with the 7.3 powerstroke diesel. The part was replaced under warranty but i had to pay a $100 deductible.

Ford super duty diesel f-250 : engine cuts out and/or dies during all load conditions. Especially dangerous when passing cars or on freeway. Dealer is unable to locate problem and "nothing registers on the computer" began in march 2003 and continues daily to this day.

Engine would quit while on the road or at idle outside temp or engine temp did not make any difference. Replaced cam position sensor problem corrected never occurred again . When engine quit would restart. Believe very dangerous due to you never knew when it might quit.

My camshaft positioning sensor went out on my 2000 f250 it shut off my motor when i was going 70 mph and i lost all power and was very close to crashing. It was fixed easy with a new cps but this should of never happen.

I have experienced three spark plug blowouts on my ford f-250 pickup truck which has a 5.4 liter engine. It is a 2000 model. The spark plug can no longer be reinserted due to damage caused by the ejection. A head replacement was the only remedy offered by the dealership at a rather significant cost to me for what appears to be a prevalent defect.

Ford f250 super duty, with 83,000 miles on the engine.two spark plugs blew out.the first occurred on 12/7/05 and the second occurred on 1/9/05.the repairs entailed installing steel sleeve inserts into the spark plug holes in the engine block.

2000 ford f250 5.4l3rd from front passenger side spark plug shot out. Stranded had to have vehicle towed.helicoil installed and is holding, but for how long?

Driving home at about 55mph noticed a very bad hesitation in 5.4l engine and apparent misfire.after pulling over and shutting engine off, noticed # 3 coil broken and sparkplug laying by fuel rail.spark plug shot out of cylinder head due to poor engineering by ford.1999-2002 f250 5.4l heads only have 4 threads that hold spark plugs.

Driving home in my 2000 f250 v10 gas and sounded like exhaust had broken checked under hood and found spark plug had blown out of passenger side fourth plug from frontthis is the third plug i have lost in 194,000 miles first was at about 80,000 had to be helicoiled second was at about 125,000 came loose ? and now the third time at 194,000 ripped out threads again what's going on with these ford trucks im getting tired of paying for their poordesign.

On my way home from work i heard an unusual noise eminating from under the hood of my 2000 ford f-250 super duty, 6.8 (v-10) truck. I thought it was an xhaust manifold leak. I pulled onto a gravel road, lifted the hood and climbed up to look to see what i could find. Imagine my suprise to see a left bank spark plug, #8 cylinder, lying against the fuel rail and the coil firing against the head. I limped home, wondering all the while how much fuel was pouring into the oil pan!i used a strong flash light to peer into the spark plug hole and found to my suprise, very little if any threads to contian the spark plug. I then used a 90 deg. Pick to "feel" the threads. None. I called joe machens ford in columbia, mo. To see if this might be a common problem. They informed me they see quite a few of the 5.4 liter cylinder heads in for repair and had had one 6.8. They informed me that ford had issued a tsb for the lightning with the 5.4 ( i can see why, a compressor on top of the engine can create problems) other than the aformentioned tsb, no others exist and ford has yet to acknowledge the problem. I checked for info via the google search engine and wasn't able to find much information. I probably used the incorrect terminology. Who knows how much of the alumnium threads were ingested into the cylinder, which in turn will cause scarring and oil control problems. I do know however, due to what i was told by the person at joe machens ford in columbia, mo., it seems as though ford has not practiced due diligence as to finding a suitable cost efective repair or replacement for this problem.

Driving at 45 mph , i heard a loud bang and the engine started missing. I stopped on the side of the road and discovered the boot assembly & spark plug were missing. The next day i bought a spark plug and a boot and put it back together (somewhat) and went back home. This all happened 200 miles from home on a fishing trip. I contacted the dealer and was informed ford was not doing any out of warranty service, i had 54687 miles on my 2000 f-250 5.4 l. After manyphone calls and heated discussions with the dealer , they said ford would pay for the parts if i paid the labor ,this cost me $1385.26. This was the #5 spark plug.on august 3, 2003 at 57646 milesthe #2 spark plug blew out resulting in the same repair as before , but this time the dealer called it a "po7 " goodwill warranty "given" to me for $495.00. Both times therespective head was replaced. I had not tampered with any of the spark plugs, because in the owners manual it stated the spark plugs are good for 100,000 miles. This vehicle is my personal vehicle and not used for any type ofcommercial use.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f250 super duty.while driving approximately 15 mph, the spare tire suddenly fell off the vehicle.the failure was caused by the cable splitting in half.the spare tire had never been used since the vehicle was purchased.he called the ford dealer and was informed that he could not purchase the cable by itself.the contact felt that it was a safety risk because the person behind him nearly crashed. The failure and current mileages were 100,000.updated 01-15-08.updated

Headlight plugs heating up, cracking, and failing.the headlights will go dim or go out completely at any time while operating. Found that the wires feeding into the plug heat up and have caused the plastic plug to deteriorate. Just jiggling the wires can cause the headlights to dim or fail.*la

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250 super duty. While driving 40 mph, the contact heard an abnormal thumping noise and noticed that the fuel tank had detached and was dragging on the road. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The fire and police departments were on the scene. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 165,000. The rear strap securing the gas tank failed.

2000 ford f250, 7.3diesel, fuel leak from plastic drain valve on themain fuel filter. Leaving a trail of fuel along the road. And under carriage of the truck losing about 4-6 gallons of fuel.nothing has been done so far.other than contacting ford. Filter drain valve, on top of the engine, needs to be replaced.this had the potential of fire, causing serious injury as well as damage to the truck, and environmental safety.

While driving my 2000 f-250 ford pick up truck equiped with the 7.3 liter diesel engine, the engine suddenly stopped running, without any warning signs. This occured while i was entering a circle intersection, fortunately very early in the morning before any rush hour traffic. When the engine shut down i lost both the power steering and the power braking systems. I was starting my turn to enter the circle and at first thought that i had a front flat tire as the vehicle barely responded to my efforts to gradually turn to the right. Then, when i tried to stop it took at least two to three times the distance to come to a stop, as it usually does, even with greatly increased pressure to the brake pedal. If ther had been a vehicle in front of me or another sort of obstruction i could have easily hit it. I was able to return home, a distance of approx 2/3 miles , during which the vehicle stalled out 4 more times, with the same problems of very poor steering and braking . The repair shop replaced an electrical componet refered to as a camshaft position sensor at a cost of approx $377.00 . I was informed that this particular vehicle and engine combination usually have this same problem of failure of this sensor without any warning, e.g. Ther were no dash warning lights or any warning of any sort and the engines can stall out either running at 65 mph or at idle or anywhere in between. I was fortunate, in that i was going slow and that there was no traffic.

Pulling out of a parking lot and the strap that holds the gas tank broke (rusted through) and the gas tank fell onto the road surface. The tank was almost full at the time of the incident.

Spark plug blew out of motori am the original owner of my truck. I have always had the ford dealership perform the tune-ups because i am aware of the ongoing problems with the ford 5.4 engine and spark plugs. I had my daughter in the truck with me at the time of the spark plug coming out and catching on fire. This is completely un-acceptable, ford motor company obviously knows about the problem. But nothing has been done to correct the problem. I am extremely upset about the dangerous situation this put me and my family in. There is nothing ford could ever do to help "make things right" if something were to happen to my family. I sure hope that ford can be responsible enough to correct this problem before someone gets hurt.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250. While driving 25 mph, the rear parking brake was wedged against the rear brake drum which caused the rear wheels to lock. The contact has not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired since he feels that the manufacturer should be responsible for the repairs. The contact is concerned about the safety risk which could result in a crash if the steering wheel continues to lock. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Since we purchased this truck we have had it to the dealer numerous times for the emergency brake failure.they offered to replaceemergency brake with a new system, but then recanted the offer.they even admitted they knew this was a problem. Vehicle is not safe.

Esof system for 4-wheel drive for 2000 ford f250 with 77k miles:the esof on my truck failed to disengage the front hubs, leaving them permanently in the locked position.the dealer informed me that the hubs, motor, etc of the esof system had to be replaced due to corrosion and water in the system.i am not sure how this happened since the only water i encounter is what is on the highway when it rains. Evidently the hubs had been locked for a long period of time, as it led to additional wear and tear on the upper and lower ball joints, which also had to be replaced.

While driving to work on october 7, 2009 i had a spark plug blow out of cylinder #3 of my 2000 ford super duty v-10. This cost me $125 dollars of towing, and $350.00 in repair. I pulled over immediately to reduce the chance of anymore damage to the vehicle. I don't know what happened to the spark plug after hearing it bouncing under the vehicle. Hopefully it didn't cause any damage to other vehicles on the freeway at the time.

I have replaced the transmission 3 times since i bought the vehicle in march of 2000.now it is out of warranty and needs another transmission the last transmission was put in(october 2002)they said they would warranty the transmission for one year but now they don't want to do it because it has an after market suspension lift and bigger tires (it's been on there since they put the first transmission in and they performed warranty work on it then). *nlm

The hubs had problems in the past and were replaced less than 11,000 miles before incident, yet were outside fords 12-month "warranty" period.they have refused to provide any financial assistance with repairs.ford dealer in rock springs had several week backlog on transmission work so i had it repaired elsewhere ($5,818).

Transmission problems the transmission has had to have 4 major repairs in 1.5 years.

At 85000 miles of very light use my f250 hd model year 2000 with diesel engine had a transmission failure and had to be replaced. If this truck is referred to as a super duty and heavily advertised as such a strong truck why would my transmission fail. Again this truck is used more like a car then a construction vehicle.

First, i love my truck, but if i didn't have an extended warranty, it be down the road.items either repaired or replaced all before 47k miles (now has 49k miles as of 10/2005) with all work being done at my local ford dealership:automatic transmission was replaced once, and again required repair for broken pump.rear end completely replaced.auto front locking hubs replaced twice.rear driveline was replaced.air box broken and replaced."super duty diesel" implies a really tough truck, but i baby mine - is that what i'm done wrong?

While driving at 40 mph left front wheel locked up, causing the front axle to break. Also, there wasa broken rotor anda destroyedanti lock brake sensor.currently, the right wheel bearing malfunctioned.

The front "o" rings in the axle fail causing the grease to leak out and the "floating hubs" stop functioning and either lock in 4x4 mode or not. There is now way to see or check this failure and the repair is to replace the hub and bearing assembly. This repair is anywhere between 1200.00 to 1600.00 depending on the dealer doing the job. This is a verycommon problem for the f250 4x4 since there were three in the shop at the same time as mine. There is only 47000 miles on my truck and this was not covered by warranty since the factory ended at 36000 miles. *nlm

I have a 2000 ford f250 super duty 4x4 7.3 diesel.while driving over a mountain pass on 11-4-06 the front end started shaking violently and i almost lost control of the vehicle. I managed to steer it to the side of the road where i discovered the left front hub assembly/wheel bearing had failed and the tire and wheel were falling off the vehicle. The truck was towed to a large dealer where both front hub assemblies were replaced.these hub assembles are a sealed unit with no way of servicing them.this repair is very expensive( 450.00) per side for parts + labor.the dealer stated that this has been a problem with these trucks and couldn't understand why ford hasn't recalled the problem,as they alone have replaced close to 65 units and this is just one dealer. Needless to say ford wouldn't stand behind the repair and i had to pay it myself.this is a very dangerous situation in that if this would have happened at highway speeds it would most certainty caused total loss of control of the vehicle.i have 4 friends and my brother who all have had this exact same problem and one,my brother, had damage to his vehicle when he lost control.this is the 2nd time this has happened to me and am perplexed why ford doesn't address this safety problem.

While accelerating and stopping there is a clunk and you can feel it under the truck.the dealer suggested it was the brakes. I had the brakes changed and the rotors and drums checked but it is still having the problem.i recently visited the ford -trucks. Com site to find several cases of this and it apparently is due to an improperly greased drive shaft at the rear bearing.this is a problem that ford should correct due to their negligence in improperly greasing the joint.

Repeated manual transmission failure. Ford replaced my manual transmission on my 2000 f250 under warranty, with about 35,000 miles on it. The transmission again failed with about 84,000 miles on the truck, 49,000 on the transmission, and $4,000 out of my pocket. This truck is well maintained and rarely operated with a load. A second complaint is that i have now taken my truck in for the 100,000 tune up. The dealer informed me the spare tire fell off because the cable holding it broke. The spare tire has never been removed from the truck. This is a serious concern if spare tires are falling off of trucks.

Seat belt on driver side will not latch every time.

Bought the truck 2000 ford f250 used in 2006 and the seat belt retractor would not retract the belt when not in use. The belt would get caught in the door when it was closed. I would have to open the door to get the seat belt loose so it could be used. This problem makes using the seat belt a major problem each time i get into the truck. I bought a new belt and retractor from ford for about $120 and it worked for about a month and it became the same as the old seat belt. This is a problem on all 2000 model trucks and ford will not correct the problem. This problem causes you not to want to use the seat belt because of how much trouble it is to be used.

Ford and "takata recall" the safety belts in the back outside as well as the middle seat belt does not lock at all, the muffler on the bottom back underneath the car is hanging enouph to strap it to car. The front bumper is cracked and held together by plastic tywraps. The light in the dash light is out and doesn't light up at all besides a person with the airbag diploid showing. Back seat door lock switch doesn't work and the back door right side window doesn't go up and down. The back seat little window is broken out. The back brake light doesn't work. The heating and cooling system doesn't come on at all including defrosters. The wind shield is held on from what looks like foam glue. The underside of the vehicle is rusted and the front side wheel and brake are rusted, as well as the front side back weal baring and break, drivers side back rear wheel barring and break are rusted. The horn does not work at all and the air bag light is on. The fan doesn't blow at all, the car just starts making loud noises, and the theft light seams to be on in the middle of the front dash bord. The reason is due to previouse owner as the car was like this before i baught the vehicle so the reason for the condition is due to unknown reason of previouse owner not taking care of it. I perchased the vehicle at britney vanstratens home 122 northgate eastates new london, wi, 54961 on 6/5/2018.

Consumer received vehicle without the installation of the plug for the brake controller. *mjs

The rear brake line failed due to corrosion.the failed brake line allowed the brake fluid to totally drain the reservoir on the master cylinder.the reservoir for the rear brakes is shared with the front brakes so that the front brakes were no longer able to function as well.the operator then has no brakes at all on the vehicle with the exception of the parking brake.in the case of the first failure, i was able to use the manual transmission to slow the vehicle and then shift into reverse (it has synchros in reverse as well) to stop the vehicle.in the case of the second failure, the vehicle was in my driveway when the failure occurred.even though the brake pedal was only pushed once, the reservoir still completely drained leaving absolutely no brakes.i feel that this brake failure mode does not comply with the intent of what i understand the law to be, that requires a split brake system that enables the operator to stop the vehicle when either front or rear brakes fail.the current brake system does have a split master cylinder but the common reservoir feature prevents the split master cylinder from operating as intended/required.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250 sd.the contact stated that the vehicle was losing brake fuel, which was leaking from the master cylinder push rod retainer clip.the failure occurs when the vehicle is in motion or parked.the dealer stated that they would not repair the failure for free because the vehicle was not included in a recall.the failure mileage was 83,000.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250 sd.while driving 10 mph, the contact smelled burning wires in the vehicle and noticed smoke coming from the hood.he pulled the vehicle over and opened the hood.the smoke ceased, but there was a melted black wire under the master cylinder, which he believes caused the smoke.the contact drove back home, looked under the hood again, and noticed that it was the brake pressure switch.through research, he found that there was a recall, but it did not include diesel engines.the dealer was unable to assist.the current and failure mileages were 160,000.

Was pulling my boat out of the water and when stopping heard a loud bang. Stopped truck and saw fluid leaking on to the ground from just forward of the drivers side rear tire. Found fluid to be brake fluid. Brake steel line that runs down the left frame rail had burst near fuel tank. This area hard to see unless using a mirror and light. The brake line was very corroded and had rusted thru in the area that is hardest to see. Replaced the steel brake line to repair. I am the original owner of this truck. I have pictures and have the old brake line.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250 sd. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the brakes unintentionally locked without warning. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road, and remained parked overnight. The following day, the contact started the vehicle and resumed driving with the brakes functioning normally for 15 miles before the failure recurred. One week prior to the failure, all of the rotors and both rear calipers were replaced. In addition to the repair, the front and rear brakes were replaced. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired for the most recent failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls related to the brakes. The approximate failure mileage was 178,000.

I bought the truck used with 138,000 miles on it.i have put about 122,000 miles on it so it has about 250,000 miles on it now.i have had numerous front brake issues with this truck.i have had 8 brake repairs on the truck since i bought it.the truck violently shakes while braking.i have taken it to multiple brake shops and had ford original parts put back on it.everytime they change the rotors and brake pads and every other time the calipers.it is just a matter of time before i have an accident.i recently had a repair done and i have only went 2,100 miles and it is violently shaking again.i usually get around 18,000 miles between brake repairs.i have researched the issue and have found hundreds if not thousands of people having the same issue with this truck.

- the contact stated that the first time he noticed a problem with his 2000 f250 truck, was when he hit his brakes and the pedal went to the floor.the contact stated that he turned off vehicle and call the dealership.the dealership ask that he bring vehicle in.once the dealership looked at vehicle they said that his brakeline had rusted out.the contact said that he asked mechanic why this happened and he was told that it was because of the vehicle sitting for a period of time.contact stated that he only drives this vehicle once a week because it uses diesel fuel. And during the summer he drives vehicle more.contact stated that he does use the truck to tow his 5th wheel camper during the summer.the repair was done and contact does have repair order.

Dt:the contactcomplained about a defect in the braking system.when depressing the brake pedal it wentto the floor without stopping the vehicle. He had to push the brake pedal several timesto stop the vehicle. In addition, power steering worked intermittently. Because of the high cost of repairs the vehicle has not been seen by a dealer.

I have had to have the brakes machined on this vehicle 3 times in 30,000 miles.

While driving at 40 mph left front wheel locked up, causing the front axle to break. Also, there wasa broken rotor anda destroyedanti lock brake sensor.currently, the right wheel bearing malfunctioned.

While parking at 5 mph consumer depressed the brakes and vehicle would not slow down.then,vehicle collided into a building. A certified mechanic was called to the scene, and informed the consumer that the actuating rod retaining clip broke, and was laying on the floor of the vehicle.

Consumer states brakes have been a problem since the first day vehicle was purchased, consumer states when brakes are applied they have to be pumped and will go all the way to the floor and also vibrates, brakes have been worked on three or four times and then the problem reoccurs again.

Stopped for fuel. Smelled something hot. Right rear brake caliper piston stuck in caliper and would not release, wheel became excessively hot, was hot enough to cause a burn on finger. Drove to nearby repair center for repair. During repair it was also discovered that left front caliper was also sticking.

Brake rotors warp all the time, causing severe vibration while braking.i have had this problem fixed 5 times.first the rotors were turned, then replaced, then turned etc, etc.i'm due to go in again for the 6th fix, with only 5,000 miles on the newest set of rotors.i only have 52,000 on the truck.so far the dealer has stood behind the fixes but this is a safety concern for me as well as a financial concern since they will start to make me pay.i've been a highway patrolman for 18 years.i abuse my cruiser brakes on a daily basis and they last 40,000 miles!my truck is babied and it eats up brakes...unacceptable. *la

2000 ford superduty built at kentucky truck plant exhibits excessive shaking during braking since@ 3,000 miles.replaced front discs/calipers 5 times by 100,000 miles even though truck is driven very lightly (no towing, mountains etc. Just normal highway and town driving)ford dealers (three consulted so far) say this is a known problem and that post-2000 my vehicles receive improvements.we have put the best possible materials/parts that we can identify to minimize problem. We believe that replacement parts represent post-2000my improvements. Brakes continue to wear rapidly, warp and cause significant vibration during even very moderate braking.this is not just and accelerated wear issue but a safety issue in terms of braking performance and handling during breaking.

Brake rotors and front wheel assembly failure at approximately 40,000 miles. Severe front end vibration on brake application. Six visits to turn rotors, replace rear rotors at 50,000 miles, finally replace front rotors at 63,000 miles then new brake pads at 73,000. Still no cure. Ford refused initially to do anything about this, so i was taking vehicle to local tire/brake shop.schawb tire 1201 hilltop dr redding ca.96003...ph. 530 221-5314.... Finally took pickup to dealer, found front hub failure, worn out ball joints, warped rotors. Covered under extended warranty. However....7,000 miles later, problem is back!. At time of service by corning ford, i asked service manager, steve lowery, what was to prevent the brakes from failing again in this manner.he said... Nothing! sure enough, he was right! this started in 2001, on the way home from alaska..in the yukon. Took it to shop as soon as i got home. My extended cna service warranty terminates at 100,000 miles. Since i keep my vehicles for 200,000 to 300,000 miles, i'm very concerned as to the potential safety problems that this failure could cause, and the money out of my pocket to keep this vehicle in safe operating condition. I'm submitting this in hard copy also with corresponding bills by way of us mail . Thank you.*nlm

Warping of front disc rotors.the rotors warped out the first time at 30000 miles.since then the rotors warp between 10 - 20000 miles consistently.again going online i found many people are having the same problem. All with the ford f250, 350 model year 1999 - 2003.presently i have had my front rotors either cut or replaced 4 times.estimated time line that work was required.; 30000, 44000, 60000 and the chimmy is back at 76000 .this problem causes the truck to shake and chimmy.greatly extending the distance which the truck can stop.

Very rough shaking during highway speed braking and truck lunges during low speed stops.replaced my rotors multiple times and fix lasts only a short time.i travel a lot of highway miles and very little city.no towing or heavy loads involved.this greatly affects my steering while braking ability and greatly lengthens my stoping distance.very unsafe!!!! same problems with excursion used by my fire department.if problems continues i know it's the last ford the city will buy.

Front disc brake rotors warping.i have had the front rotors turned 4 times and replaced front rotors once in 55,000 miles.i do not tow a trailer or carry heavy loads.most of mileage is interstate highway driving.

Dt: the consumer stated the brake line failed and rusted in two. The other two lines were like brand new. The one that was rusted must be made out of different material.the vehicle failed on the highway while driving at 55 mph.the brakes just completely failed.this happened on 9-17-05.the dealer said that there was nothing they could do about it.the manufacturer said the same thing.the consumer reported no problems prior to this.(11/17/05)*sc

Brake line failure,while backing down driveway, brakes were put on the stop, pedal went all the way to the floor, used emergency brake to stop, pulled forward back up the driveway and noticed a lot of brake fluid on the driveway, upon investigation, noticed main brake line had ruptured near the fuel tank due to rust and corrosion,went to napa to get new brake line and replaced ourselves because it was on sunday and no dealers were open, talked to ford mechanic at local dealership and was informed that this problem is well know with this truck,"poor design he says"

I have a model year 2000 ford f-250 pickup truck with approximately 45k miles on the odometer. This truck is driven primarily in the summer, and has never been used for snow plowing. Yesterday, as i was driving with my young son in the truck, i experienced a failure of the braking system when i tried to slow down descending a steep grade. Fortunately, i was able to downshift to slow the vehicle and eventually bring it to a complete stop safely. Had the brakes failed when approaching stopped traffic or even pedestrian traffic, the outcome could have been far worse. I know two other people who have had similar experiences with ford trucks, one of whom was in a crash due to it. Since i haven't heard of incidents like this with any other vehicle, i suspect this is a pattern unique to ford, and wanted to make sure it was reported. It appears to be a brake line failure, presumably due to corrosion, but i have not yet had it serviced.

Depressed clutch pedal and released it. The pedal rose an additional 4 inches making it very difficult if not impossible to use the clutch. I was informed by the dealer this was a common problem and i had been lucky that it had not risen an additional .25 inch because i would have had no clutch.ford knew there was a problem with the master cylinder and had an upgrade kit available which i knew nothing about. I assume the same master cylinder is used in the brakes.

2000 f250 crew cab truck:steering control problems, i.e.; steering wander, "bump steering".vehicle has been to ford dealerships for repair but problem still exists.

I was just seconds away from getting on the highway when the steering went completely out!! it happened in the following way. After making a left turn, fortunately i looked down and noticed the steering wheel was about 90 degrees off from center. With my mechanical background i knew that this was serious and pulled off the road. I checked the tie rods, suspension, tires looking for anything obvious and didn't find anything. Got back in the truck to test the steering wheel and as i turned the wheel there was a slight resistance then pop and the wheel spun freely. Opened the hood and the shaft was connected to the box spinning freely.i was seconds away from getting on the highway!

The steering mechanism broke causing the driver to crash into a telephone pole and then a snow bank, the air bags deflected impact,however consumer suffered a sore neck and back, the parts and tool to repair the vehicle have been unavailable because it is on national backorder .nlm

I recently purchased a used f-250. While trying to park it in a parking lot, i was traveling at about 1 mph. While stopped or barely moving, the steering wheel is impossible to turn. It makes parking extremely difficult while in close proximity to other vehicles, and/or people. This is a potential safety issue, making an accident extremely likely. The truck has the 7.3l power stroke diesel.

Front end shaking on 2000 ford f-250.have replaced ball joints, steering arms, drag links, etc... Still shakes.it started with front end thumping and progressed.now with all these repairs, the front end still thumps and can tell the tire shaking is happening.sometimes the truck has a major pull to the right.i have brand new tires, and the pull only happens once in a while.

Dt:the contact stated the front ball joints on ford,f250 super duty were defective back in august.the truck started walking all over the road onaugust 1, 2005.changed the ball joint at the end of august. The truck only had 68,000 miles on it then. He reported having no problems since changing them in august. The dealership told the contact there were no recalls on it. The contact has not yet talked to the manufacturer. The contact did have to pay for the parts, he did the labor himself.

I have a 2000 ford f-250 superduty. It's common knowledge among ford owners that the balljoints in the superduty line are prong to premature faiure. I've heard of failures on vehicles with mileage as low as 24,000. Check some of the ford truck forums on the internet, theres alot of data to back my claims. Mine failed before 50,000. Repairs/replacement will cost $960.00. Thats expensive, i had to keep driving my truck till i could afford to fix. While driving it was hard to steer strait and wore out my front tires, so now i have to put tires on to thats another $300.00. The last time i drove it before it went to the shop for repairs the front tires started to shake violently. It shook so hard i ended up in the ditch. Alot of people agree that ford should recall these balljoints even large fleet operations. These are heavy duty trucks and should'nt fail with less than 50,000 miles. I work with low income people and the longer these trucks are in service the more likely your going to see serious accidents. As these trucks filter down the economic ladder the less likely the owners can afford to make these repairs. These people will keep driving them until the worst happens.i realize this is an odd way to look at this issue but people are going to get hurt, if not now in the future.

The ball joints in my vehicle are worn out & i need to have all 4 ball joints (both uppers & lowers) replaced on my 2000 ford f250 super duty pickup truck because there is no way to grease the joint-no grease fitting!!!! it seems that this is a common problem among ford truck owners. After you replace the ball joints with new joints with a grease fitting in it the failure problem no longer occurs.

I was doing some repair work on my ford f-250 and decided to look around the underside. I was stunned to see that 2 out of 4 leaves of the left rear spring had broken off near the u bolt. The problem was not evident while driving because i have not put anything heavy in the truck. I only found the problem because i was preparing for a long trip with a heavy trailer. The truck was at my ford dealer the week before and they did not notice the broken spring. While shopping for a replacement spring, i was amazed how many stores made comments like "we sell a lot of these". I called the ford customer service line to ask them to pay for the repairs and they claimed that they do not get any reports of broken springs.i am a degreed mechanical engineer and am reasonably familiar with the design of springs.i firmly believe that no spring should ever fail under normal use. Had the spring failed while i was on the road, i would have lost control of the truck. My informal data collection tells me that most of the failures happen after the warranty expires. It appears that ford has no way to know about repairs made by non-ford shops. Given that the price difference for the repair is substantial, it would be reasonable to suggest the most of the repairs are made outside of ford.the customer service rep was not interested in the safety aspectand told me there was no other way to contact anyone else in the company.inmy best engineering judgment, the spring failed due to fatigue. The problem is much larger than ford realizes. And all of the vehicles with these springs are getting older every day. I was not killed or injured by this defect only because of my engineering and mechanical abilities enabled me to see and fix it before it failed.

Repeated manual transmission failure. Ford replaced my manual transmission on my 2000 f250 under warranty, with about 35,000 miles on it. The transmission again failed with about 84,000 miles on the truck, 49,000 on the transmission, and $4,000 out of my pocket. This truck is well maintained and rarely operated with a load. A second complaint is that i have now taken my truck in for the 100,000 tune up. The dealer informed me the spare tire fell off because the cable holding it broke. The spare tire has never been removed from the truck. This is a serious concern if spare tires are falling off of trucks.

Consumer states all four firestone steeltex at lt265/75r16 tires contain cracks.

There is a problem with the wheel valve stems cracking and breaking off, causing the tire to rapidly lose air which could result into an accident. This problem has also shown up on our other vehicle of same yr.mk. Model. Dealer offered to correct problem by installing a metal valve stem. Under warranty, i feel they should be doing a recall to check other vehicle's of same yr.mk.model. Please look into this potential problem. I hate to think ford would want any more tire/wheel lawsuits in the future. Thank you for looking into this matter. ****dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis******754105.

Video surveillance did not capture the fire of the first vehicle, however it does provide a time line for the event and subsequent fire of the adjacent vehicle.

Cruise control ceased working. Since this did not appear to be a serious issue, other than significant discomfort on long trips, and the truck continued to operate acceptably except for the cruise control, i continued driving. Approximately three weeks later smoke was detected when truck was started. Upon further inspection (still in my driveway, truck still running), flames were seen under the hood at the wiring beside the master cylinder. The fire soon stopped, and the wiring was cool. Truck was still seemed to operate properly, including brakes, so i proceeded with my plans and drove the truck. The next morning after the initial fire incident, a significant amount of smoke came out from under the hood of the truck when started, causing brief but well voiced discomfort from my daughter. The smoke came from the same wiring. The following morning, the second day after the initial fire incident, i took the truck to an auto repair shop (monday morning). The owner told me there was a recall for the speed control switch and i should take it to ford. Ford told me there was no recall for this switch for my truck because it is a diesel. The recall 06v286000 matches the conditions and description in that the cruise control switch could overheat, result in smoke, or burn in an underhood fire. After returning to the auto repair shop, the switch was replaced and a fused wiring harness was installed, purchased from ford. The ford dealership i had contacted, the one where the part was subsequently purchased from,had 1,200 of them in stock, according to the phone conversation i overheard.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250 sd.the contact stated that his vehicle caught fire while in his driveway.the fire originated in the sensor of the master cylinder.he believes that the vehicle should have been included in nhtsa campaign id number 06v286000 (vehicle speed control), although it was a diesel engine.ford stated that his vehicle was not included in the recall and the contact would not receive any reimbursement for damages.the vehicle was not destroyed.the purchase date was unknown.the current and failure mileages were 130,000.

While i was driving my ford f-250 diesel of 2000 i smell like a oil burned.when i reached my house i opened the hood but i only saw some smoke coming near the brake reservoir.i said to my son that turned "on" the vehicle and them i saw when the electrical connection near the brake system begin to burn in fire.we turned "off" the vehicle and extinguished the fire with water.i found in the service manual of the vehicle that the connection is of the brake pressure switch that is used to deactivate the speed control.i called the ford company and explained the situation but when i gave them my vehicle vin number they said that there are no recalls for that situation and that refer the case to my insured company.i reported the situation tomy insured company "seguros multiples de puerto rico".

Dt*:the contact stated that the brake fluid leaked into the speed control module, causing the cruise control to fail.the vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the problem was determined to be caused by the same issue that caused nhtsa recall #05v388000, relating to the vehicle speed control. The vin was not included in the recall.updated 8/16/2006 - the vehicle was repaired on 7/14/2006.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f250 hd.the contact received a ford safety recall notice for the vehicle speed control in february of 2008.the speed control was disconnected at that time, and he has been informed every month thereafter that the part will not be available until the following month.there had been no failure to date.the recall number was unknown.the current mileage was 57,000.

1. Failure of cruise control it would stop working then stop2. Just when tried to use it would either work or not then it caught fire in the drive way 3. Nothing yet we think the truck is totaled out.

Parked vehicle about and 25 minutes later smoke was coming from under the hood of the vehicle.opened the hood to find the cruise control servo was smoking.disconnected the wires to the servo and it stopped.haad the burned part for inspection.during the trip before the fire the cruise control light on the dashboard was coming on and off andwas not used.the consumer stated that the cancel switch was leaking.*tc

April 2004.faulty cable in steeing column.this cable causes a failure which disables the driver side air bag it also disables the horn and cruise control. After going to several discussion forums this is a common problem affecting 100's perhaps 100 of ford super duty f250, f350 vehicle.per the chat pages ford was able to get around this issue by stating the faulty cabling effects the cruise control only.this is a misconseption. Also based on these chat pages this problem effects most f250,350 from 1999 - 2003.the average failure timeline is 45000 - 70000 milies.mine occured at 68000.

Occupants were driving the vechicle when all of a sudden it started to flame up. The fire was put out.but before that was completed the fire had consumed the wiring harnesses, fuse panel, cruise deactivaction mech. And misc. Other components, computer etc.shortly after this ford was on the news about a recall of the exact thing that had happened to this truck.at the time there was only liability insurance on the vechicle.it was paid for... And that is all that is required.except for the fact when ford don't want to cover their mistakes... In conclusion ford says it is not the right type of truck but if the cruise mechanisim is what caused the fire and then they do a recall i think they should be responsibile for the item in question, no matter what year they say......

My 2000 f-250 super duty had the faulty cruise control deactivation burn up. The f150 has the recall but not the 250, even though its the same faulty part on both vehicles. There was a lot of smoke, but no visible flames. I was able the unplug the device before any major damage happened.

I own a 2000 ford f-250 diesel it has not been recalled but it caught on fire at the cruise control cancel switch like the others, ford needs to recall diesels also. I have the receipt from a local repair shop & also have the burnt switch.

Dt:while braking the vehicle lurches forward and then it shuts down, which causes limited steering and braking abilities.the consumer has taken the vehicle to the dealer approximately three times, and was told that they couldn't do anything about it unless the problem occurred for them.on may 30, 2005 the consumer was driving the vehicle and had to brakebecause of the traffic in front of him, when this occurred, the vehicle lurched forward and the engine just cut out, like it was never started.this caused the consumer's vehicle to rear end the vehicle in front of him.the vehicle was taken to a body shop and it was repaired.theconsumer spoke to ford and was told that there was nothing they could do.per consumer, none of the above is accurate.the consumer wrote:while braking, the rpm revved up, the vehicle lurched forward, then the rpmdropped and the engine had shut down.the check engine light illuminated.itwould take several attempts to start the vehicle .this would occur intermittently.each time the consumer had taken the vehicle in for repairs, the dealer would be unable to find the problem.other problems:the cruise control was inoperative and the vehicle would die when the brakes were applied at times.ford recalled the same make model years 2003-2005.the consumer felt that the recall started with his vehicle's year make and model.*sc

The vehicle was delivered from the factory with poor wiring system which caused the cruise control to be out of service on two occasions. *mjs

Dt: the contact stated thatwindshield wiper motormalfunctioned not long after he purchased the vehicle. He later foundnhtsa recall01v258000 concerning windshield wiper/ washer motor. After contacting the manufacturer, he was told that the recall work had already been completed on this vehicle by the previous owner. He stated that thewindshield wiper washer motor gear case cover began to burn, almost causing his entire truck to catchon fire if he had not seen it in time. Afterwards, he contacted the manufacturer again and told him what had happened. They were unwilling to help with the repairs becauseit wasalready covered under the recall. He felt that if the recall had been repairedcorrectly then why was this problem happening again with the wiper motor gear cover.

On nearly every f250/350 super duty i have seen in wy, there developes a crack in the windshield side to side about 5 inches up from the bottom, where the defroster hits.as many as i have seen, this seems to be a engineering or windshield defect.are there other reports of this?

I was driving my 2000 f-250 7.8 diese at approx. 5 mph.it was snowing outside.i had my wipers on.the wipers became stuck and then my truck began to fill with smoke.i attempted to turn the wipers offs.the wipers would not shut off.i turned the truck and then restarted it.the wipers stopped for a minute then continued to faster.i also saw flames coming from the hood area.my wipers no longer function and i there is strong odor of burnt electrical wiring in the truck.i called ford about this problem and they said my truck was not part of the recall and they were not responsible.

While driving in rainy weather, intermittently the front windshield wipers failed. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The consumer provided a copy of safety recall 01s24 which was for 2000 ford f250 with defective wiper motor switch.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f250 super duty.while driving 70 mph, the contact activated the windshield wipers and they eventually stopped working in the middle of the windshield.the wipers have not worked since that time.the dealer stated that his vin was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 01v258000 (visibility:windshield wiper/washer:motor).the purchase date and dealer information were unknown.the current and failure mileages were 103,000.

Dt:the consumerreplaced the windshield wiper motor twice.the dealership told him that the problem was with the bearing on the motor.the first was replaced in june or july 2003.the second timeit had occurred was in august 2004, the consumer was unable to get the repairs done until october 2004.the problemoccurred again on 8-14-05.the consumermade an appointment to have the repairs done.each of these problems occurred under no specific circumstances.as soon as the wipers wereturned on there was a winding noise.

Windshield wiper motor on my 2000 ford f250 truck was replaced (supposedly)by ford in 2002 due to a recall.here is the nhtsa reference:"nhtsa campaign id:01v258000"on 12/27/04, my vehicle had an electrical fire/burn/meltdown caused by the wipers not being able to return to the," park" position by snow and ice. The wipers were in the,"off" position however. Damage to the wiper motor assembly and the supplying wiring harness were evident, along with the distinct electrical burn smell throughout the vehicle( which is still present several days after initial incident). The wipers are now inoperable, making the vehicle inoperable due to safety concerns from lack of visibility (melting snow/road grime quickly make the windsheild very dirty).

Occasional engine stall when windshield wiper is turned on or on intermittent setting. Occasional stalls when steering is turned quickly left to start turning from standing position at intersections.ford service department was unable to find cause or make corrections.

Noisy front right wheel grinding noise.unsafe to drive, the bearing had approx 3 inches of play and grinding on the rotor. Replaced front hub assembly and bearing and brakes.the vehicle had the identical failure july 2010 on the left front wheel.mechanical failure that could result in death.

The contact owns a 2000 ford f-250.the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign id number 07e106000 (wheels:cap/cover/hub), which stated that he should check the hub to verify if the component was defective.upon inspection, he noticed that the hub assembly had rusted, which prevented him from seeing a code for the hub.therefore, he could not determine if his component was defective.the manufacturer stated that because he could not see any codes, that meant that his vehicle was not affected by a recall.the vehicle has not been repaired.the vin was unknown.the current mileage was 232,000.updated 10/14/08.*ljupdated 10/15/08.

Twobusted axel boltson right rear wheel were found in the hub cap by a ford technician during a 42,000 annual service.they were found because i requested a tire rotation. I was toldthat i would need to replace the hub, axel, 16 bolts and seal at a cost of 757.14 plus tax. *nlm

Ref odi number 10019141further information on report is that the extended warranty would not cover cost of service estimate.extended warranty if from: first extended service corporation, p.o.

Driving down the highway at 65 mph when i felt front end slightly vibrating, as if a tire was out of balance. I pulled into a truck stop to check things out, and noticed the left front aluminum rim had a tear in the metal, consequently ruining a practically new tire (on less than 1 month). Put the spare tire on, and took rim to both an independent tire dealer and a ford dealer and both dealers agreed that the rim had not been subjected to hitting anything to cause the damage showing. Wrote to ford about the problem seeking a resolution, but got no assistance from them to rectify the situation. Have been running on the steel spare ever since and still have the original tire and rim in storage.
