Read complaints for FORD F-250 (1995)
Airbag system had already been deployed and was not in the steering wheel and came fromfactory with air bag. Not informed of accident prior to purchase and also had no spare tire.
Dealer claimed when we purchased this vehicle that it had an airbag restraint. However according to my owners manual, it should have an srs marking on the center of the steering wheel. It does not. It also has an airbag indicator light on the dashboard, that should light up whenever the ignition is turned on. It dosent light up. I checked the fuse panel diagram to locate the fuse. It clearly indicates a fused location for the airbag circut. However upon examining the fuse panel, the entire section where the airbag fuse should be, is not there. Leading me to believe that it has been disconnected. I also know for a fact, that this vehicle has been in an accident. I found overspray on the moldings on the drivers side of the vehicle, and a 4x4 decal on the drivers side is missing from the rear panel. I truely believe that the airbag has been deployed, and it was not replaced. My owners manual says that it has one, but the evidence suggests it does not. I feel that if the dealer has purposely mislead us, and is knowingly compromising our saftey. He should be fined or his license should be revoked. I am also furnishing this information to the nys attorney generals office/ used car lemon law. In addition to this is my ongoing transmission problem with this vehicle that i previously reported to you.thank you.

1995 ford f250 7.3l turbo diesel :cam position sensor failed after numerous, worsening experiences with erratic engine performance.sensor replaced by dealer on 12/07/2006 with truck barely able to continue running.this corrected the problem at the time, but i am now occasionally experiencing the same symptoms again.i have subsequently discovered that this is a chronic problem with this navistar engine.many ford vehicles have been recalled as a result, but mine has not, despite numerous vehicles of my model year (1995) experiencing this problem.
The vehicle has hadtransmission/and or electrical problems since it was purchased. Every few weeks the engine computer picks up a troubled code. The code is tcc/or torque converter clutch failure.the vehicle then goes into safe mode,and runs on predetermined values set by the engine computer.the transmission shifts extremely hard during this condition.(automatic e40d). The dealer has been notified, and has failed to correct the problem. I have taken the vehicle to 2 transmission shops, and they cant find anything wrong with the transmission. Since this has been an ongoing problem, my next course of action is to seek relief under the used vehicle lemon law.

Repeated ford f250 exhaust manifold leaks.problem persist on 1990 & newer ford f250 pickup trucks.health problems to persons is a definite concern.emission environmental safety is a big concern.ford motor company needs to be contacted and research this problem for possible health hazards and recalls.throughoutthe various emission servicing companies, please note that this is commonly known problem withthe 1990s & newer f250 fords. Personnally, i have replaced one manifold on my 1995 f250 ford in sept of 97.and needing to replace a second manifold in december of 98. In researching this, i have found that it is not only a costly problem but also could be an environmental concern as some folks are fixing these manifolds problems by putting on headers instead.

Vehicle was at a standstill/ idling,and suddenly exhaust sounded like marbles,and turbo quit. Also, had to get rear main seal replacedtwice.brake rotors were warped, and transmission did not shift properly. Please add any additional information.
Both brake rotors cracked on two separate accasions . Ford replaced the first bad set under warranty, but wont admit there's something wrong & wont replace them again.i've also got an exhaust leak that they temperarily fixed under waranty.
Exhaust manifold has a leak, located on the inside by the motor, not near muffler. When sitting fumes come through the air conditioner. Dealer contacted, and stated repairs can be made at consumer's expense.
When driving theexhaust manifold starts to make a hissing noise. The manifold has been replaced 3 times. Dealer says that there is a bad batch of manifolds.
Cracked manifold on each side in three places.
The dealer has replaced left and right manifols. This occured in 1997, 1998, and now in 1999. I was told by other ownners this may happen on my vehicle before it happened. This is third time, once just the gasket, one side was covered by dealership, the other side i had to pay out of my pocket @ $449.
The exhaust manifold had a broken bolt which caused fumes to enter into the vehicle.consumerhas not been involved in any accident to cause the bolt to break.exhaust manifold warped causing an exhaust leak which resulted in all exhaust to enter the vehicle's cab.
The vehicle is not provided with exhaust manifold gaskets which causes fastener failures causing exhaust leakage directly from the cylinders. The exhaust then enters the cab of the truck.
The "y" pipe has failed twice, allowing exhaust to enter the engine compartment. First took it to an out of town dealer who said he did not have parts to fix but warned me to keep fresh air coming into the cab..the local dealer replaced once and the second time said it was no longer covered and besides did not know how to fix the problem.suggested i take it to a private muffler shop who told me that ford was well aware of the problem, that it was dangerous because it would leak carbon monoxite into the cab and suggested i take it back to the dealer and push for a replacement.dealer gave me a form to fill out but have never heard back.i took vehicle to another dealer, and they told me a similar story and said if it was a california vehicle ford would stand by it, but because it was not, i would have to take it to a muffler shop and have a custom one built.they also warned me to be careful to keep air coming in thru the heater/ac so i would not get carbon monoxide poisoning and/or fall asleep.
Spare tire carrier missing.
The head lights on the vehicle are too bright oncoming cars can not see.tt

According to service tech at doersch ford in green bay wi, they have replaced several transmissions on these pick up trucks. He also said ford knows that this transmission was not strong enough for the diesel motor, and they have since redesigned the entire thing.
Transmission cooler plugged up. Local transmission shop told me this was a very common problem on ford trucks. This could have been prevented had we known of the problem. We could have put an after market cooler on the truck. Now, i was informed that it will cost me over $2000.00 to fix fords mistake. The warranty has expired because of time, not milage so i guess i am stuck. Please help.

Front axle out of alignment and of poor design.nlm
Dt:the contact stated the bolts retaining a bracket for the front end failed, and the front axle was allowed to move around.the contact went to the dealership and ordered the parts to fix the vehicle byhimself.he had not spoken to anyonea t ford about the defect.he still has the defective parts. The bolt held on the driver's side differential frame.
Front left axle pinion bracket broke,one of the bolts came off.
Axle problems with travel trailer. Amount of carrying axles under these vehicles , notsufficient in size or strength to take the load or road punishment without failing.the consumer noticed that the vehicle did not pull properly.there was a side to side pull as it went down a down grade and would wander as it pulled down the road.this problem eventually increased to a violent whip.upon inspection, it was noticed that there was a lot of uneven tire wear due to axle misalignment.the axles were found to support 8285 pounds.(komfort 2000 25 ts travel trailer/vin [xxx]) *sc information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Extremely dangerous defect in this type of vehicle, center pivot of traction bar axle is held to main front cross memberm, bolts loosen and fall out or shear off, this causes complete loss of control of vehicle.tt
Right front wheel shaft support bracket bent/disconnected.
While driving in snow at approximately 5 mph. With4-wheel drive engaged, driver's side hub locked up and driver lost control of vehicle, resulting in a crash.dealer contacted, and problem remedied under extened warranty
Front hubs lock up, causing loss of control/worn out universal joints.
While driving consumer would hear loud noises. Then the automatic 4-wheel drive locking hub goes out, causing the vehicle to become a 2-wheel drive. Will be taking vehicle to dealer.dealer replaced with manual hubs. * adj
The front hubs are engaging into four wheel drive when coming out of a stop.took to dealer and was told the problem was coming from the tie rods and the steering linkage had to be replaced.
Bushing from clutch pedal linkage to clutch master cylinder failed causing the master cylinder plunger rod to slip off pedal linkage.this engages clutch causing unexpected vehicle lunge.
Owner states while driving vehicle the slave cylinder is defective which causes the vehicle to stop at any time. Owner also notes that this part has been replaced 3 different times and the problem still occurs. The plastic around slave cylinder melts.
While startingvehicle , andsoon after shiftinginto second while clutch was still depressed,driver's back seat released, causingconsumer to lay down.as a result,consumer's foot released clutch, andvehicle started to travel forward while consumer was still laying down.a faulty bolt caused failure and caused lumbar brace to break welds, consumer was told he would be reimbursed, however was later refused due to mileage.
Occasionally while driving, clutch assembly slips.
Upon approachinga hill it is very hard to disengage the cruise control. Please describe in more details,consumer has contacted the dealer , dealer states that it is normal operation.
Master and slave cylinders keep going out and the two work together to make the clutch. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem.
Recently when i got in my 1995 f250 w/manual transmission i depressed the clutch pedal to start it up & the pedal went to the floorboard & stayed there. What i found after inspecting the clutch pedal was that the end of the rod that goes into the master clutch cylinder broke (this is connected to the peddle). This rod appears to be plastic on the end & metal going into the master cylinder. My concern is that this seems to be a safety issue. If i was driving this truck and this rod broke while i was trying to stop quickly (or stop at any time) then it would have been very difficult to stop since the clutch wouldn't have engaged. I have photos of this part as evidence if needed.
Clutch has failed five times, approximately every 20,000 miles.
Retaining clip broke allowing plastic rod that connects the clutch pedal shaft to the clutch slave cylinder to disengage.
Problem first came to my attention when i started noticing a clunking noise followed by the front 4 wheel drive hubs ingageing when proceeding from a stop. The problem is quite clearly premature ware, and possibly a safety problem.as the vehicle was technically off waranty (6 months), ford offered to pickup 1/3 of the cost, the dealer 1/3, and myself the remainder with little debate about it.ford however refused to pickup the remainder of the cost.
Rear differential cover is seeping oil.
Defect within transmission caused it to heat up and melt all the parts.

While driving to work this morning the lumber support brace internal to driver's side fold down portion of seat gave way. No apparent cause. I am not a large man (5"10"182 lbs.) and have been the principal driver for life of truck. Have sent ford email, reference number kmm1050021cokm, case id 352179. Very concerned about what support would have been provided in the event of a rear end crash.

I replaced the rear brakes on my 1995 ford f250. I put on new duralast brake shoes (part #358) from autozone. Afterwards, the emergency/parking brake failed. I took everything apart and took a while before i found the problem. At the top of the brake shoes there is a half circle where the front and back shoe meets and that is where the emergency/parking brake cam pushes the shoes apart. The oem shoes have a tall shoulder at the very tip top where the cam pushes against the rear shoe, the duralast shoe has a shorter shoulder and allowed the cam to slip over the top of the rear shoe causing the unexpected emergency/parking brake failure. *dt
