DROVE TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE, BRAKES WORKED FINE. NEXT DAY STARTED ENGINE AND NOTICED THAT BRAKE WARNNG LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF.

DEALER REPLACED A VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY, FORD PART F4TZ-2A451-A . PART COST $308.55, LABOR $101.99.

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.

1 complaint

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TRANSMISSION/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. *AK

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. *AK
