| 2000 f250 sd 7.3 diesel incident date 2/15/2010 2/12/2010 i took my truck into the dealer to get a oil change and a recall fixed on the cruise control. that morning when i started it up, it had a noise when i turned the wheel, when i brought it in, they said the gasket on my power steering had gone bad, and i needed a complete replacement of my power steering pump. now is when the real problem starts... i had not experienced this problem prior to the dealer visit. all of the sudden when i drive on the highway, any rough road sends it into uncontrollable shaking, i thought i was going to lose complete control of the truck, it could easily cause an accident. i looked for this problem on the internet, and found this is a problem for many ford sd drivers, and as others have put it, ford won't do anything until the deaths out way the recall cost. it is up to people like you, to keep us safe, and make these car companies fix their problem vehicles before there are too many deaths. i am sure there has to of been an accident caused by this problem, very possibly 1 or more deaths, i know of one person with this problem on the website caused a 3 car accident. i called the dealer, they want to come to my home and drive it to the dealership, i said i would have it towed in, but they want to drive it, which makes me uncomfortable, since i am liable for what happens with my truck. there has been no modifications done to this vehicle, and the tires are the appropriate tires and they are filled with the proper air pressure. *tr | |||

| While towing my enclosed car hauler trailer, with a classic car inside, my right rear tire on my f250 super duty pickup exploded. i was running 70 mph at the time in alabama. i did not wreck but i really had to fight to keep it on the road until i could stop. the tire is in two pieces. the firestone store in pensacola, florida said the tire is not one of their recalls. however, i understand these same tires on the excursions are. why are the same tires, when installed on f250 pickups, not included in the recall? i will say, regardless of the outcome of this, i will never, never buy another firestone tire of any kind. in fact i hope that firestone is put out to pasture forever.*ak | |||
