| Defective transmission in 1999 f350 series trucks. *mr the consumer replaced the first transmission while the vehicle was still under warranty, at the time, ford installed a re-manufactured transmission per company policy. for that transmission the consumer purchased an extended warranty. almost one year later a second transmission was placed in the vehicle. another ford dealer in iowa stated that the re-manufactured transmission was defective from the start and that a part of it was egging when it should have been round. the power steering pump had to be replaced within the first 2k miles. the consumer requested that ford should cover the cost spent on the repair(s). *scc *jb | |||

| The u-bolts failed, and the axel dropped down. we heard a thud , and felt a dropping sensation. the steering immediatley became inoperable, and the truck crashed into several bales of hay. the driver's side door was damaged. when i contacted parker toyota, they claimed my extended warranty did not cover the axel. i then paid for the repairs out of pocket. later the same day, i pulled a vin history on the vehicle, and found that the odometer had been rolled back. when we purchased the truck, we were told that it was a trade in from a guy that bought it at parker ford, and traded it in to parker toyota. the true story (verifed by ford motors), was that the truck came out of terrace, bc. it went to auction in may 2000, where the odometer was converted from km to us miles. they have records that it went in to the odometer shop with 68,000 km, and came out with 33,100 us miles. this is a mistake of nearly 10,000 miles. parker toyota admits that they are at fault for the odometer fraud, but refuses to do anything about it. we are filing suit against parker toyota for fraud.*ak | |||

| Clutch hydraulic release system failed catastrophically, causing vehicle to jump forward immediately and violently. fortunately the car in front of me was far enough away so that i didn't hit it, before getting vehicle stopped. on investigation, i found that the roll pin which holds the clutch line into the slave cylinder had backed out, and allowed the high pressure line to disconnect. when this happened, the clutch engaged violently, and the vehicle lurched forward on engine power. this could have caused a major accident, if any of the circumstances had been different.*ak | |||

| The plastic retainer located where the clutch pedal engages the rod for the clutch master cylinder wears out allowing the rod to disengage the pedal assembly without any notice of inpending failure. this happened to me in a crowded parking lot at the canton trade days. luckily i was in 1st gear and was able to idle to a parking space without hitting anyone or anything. once the pedals comes loose and the engine is stopped it cannot be restared without the pedal assemble being in place. this problem can be avoided by returning back to the old style ball and socket set up used on older vehicles and doing away with the plactic pieces in the setup. had i been behind someone or been in a downtown driving situation where a pedestrian been in front of me such as a stop light when it decided to come loose the outcome may have been extremely serious. *ak | |||

| We have had 3 1999 superduty's 6-speed duallys when we bought them. all started having the same problem at about 3,000 miles. every time that you would be going down the road and you turned, the rear would make a bumping and grinding noise. you can hear it on the outside real bad. we took them to the dealership because they all started leaking rear end oil. they put the part on them, but the problem persisted. the leak had stopped on all of them, but the grinding noise still remained. we had to let one of them go back because it was so bad. the others are still doing horrible. plus, when you put them into gear, mainly in reverse, you hear this god awful popping noise coming from the front when you start going. they all make that grinding noise in the rear end even when backing up and turning. please help me. i have taken these trucks to the dealership so many times and yet they still all have the same problem. thank you again | |||

| Consumer states while driving in hot weather the vehicle is hard to shift, this problem also occurs occasionally when the weater is not hot, as a result the driver has to shut the engine off before an accident occurs. nlm | |||
