| Our 2003 ford f250 diesel trucks transmission needs to be replaced after only 55,000 miles. we paid $40,000 for a truck that was supposed to be built to last and be a quality vehicle. we were told by the dealership that it came with a 100,000 mile power train warranty. now that we are having problems with it, we are being told that a transmission is not considered power train on a diesel engine. this truck is almost new. we have only pulled a stock trailer with it a hand full of times. it is mostly used on the highway as our family vehicle. ford is not standing beside it's vehicle. they want us to pay $3500.00 to replace a part that should not have failed. my husband has talked to the ford company directly who does not even have a record of us buying the truck. why should they be able to manufacture garbage,change outrageous prices for it and then not take responsibility for it????is there anything we can do? *nm | |||

| My 2003 f250 ford will move forward when you start the engine and the automatic transmission is in park. it does not do this every time but it has done it around ten times since we purchased it. the truck will move forward , sometimes about four to six inches. there is no way of telling when it will do this. i have just returned from the dealership and they said ford told them this is a normal characteristic of this vehicle. *jb | |||

| I have a 2003 ford f250 with 73k miles on it, and i too am another victim of a spark plug blowing out of my 4th cylinder on the passenger side of my truck. why is ford not doing anything about this. as much as we pay for these cars and trucks, you would think they would make things right. no wonder u.s. auto makers are failing. just more corporate greed. *tr | |||
