NHTSA complaint #8005212 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THE CLUTCH FAILED TO DISENGAGE PROPERLY AND PLACED ME IN A HAZARDOUS DRIVING SITUATION. THIS CLUTCH IS HYDRAULICALLY OPERATED AND A DEALER REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I INVESTIGATED THE OPERATION OF THE CLUTCH AND FOUND THE CAB FIREWALL, WHERE THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER IS BOLTED TO IT, DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH STRENGTH TO SUPPORT THE CLUTCH OPERATIONAL STRESSES APPLIED TO IT. THIS FIREWALL HAD STARTED TO SEPARATE AND ALLOWED THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER TO MOVE WHEN IT WAS ACTUATED, THEREBY THE CLUTCH WAS NOT ABLE TO DISENGAGE.
NHTSA complaint #748330 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
REAR AXLE SPINDLE SEALS LEAK CAUSING GREASE TO CONTAMINATE REAR BRAKE PADS AND CAUSING LOCK UP OF REAR WHEELS AND LOSS OF CONTROL. PAID FOR UPGRADE FROM FORD GARAGE WHICH FAILED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. FORD GARAGE TOLD ME THAT PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF FORD TRUCKS WITH SAME REAR END AS MINE AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AS THESE VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. AS IT IS I HAVE BEEN REPLACING SEALS AND BRAKE PADS EVERY 15,000 MILES TO AVOID A WRECK AT A COST OF 300.00 DOLLARS A REPAIR.

NHTSA complaint #717471 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND WE HAVE PUT 3 OR 4 PRESSURE PLATES, CLUTCHES AND THROW OUT BEARINGS IN IT. WE ALSO HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT TO THE TUNE OF $2200.00 IN OCTOBER, 1997. WE HARDLY DRIVE THIS TRUCK. IT WAS BOUGHT FOR A FARM TRUCK, MOSTLY TO HAUL OUR CATTLE TRAILER. WE HAUL CATTLE INFREQUENTLY (MAYBE 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR) AND WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE POWERTRAIN SINCE WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. LAST FRIDAY (9/17/99) WE HAD TO PUT ANOTHER CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE AND THROW OUT BEARING IN IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (B F EVANS) WHO REPAIRED THE TRUCK IN OCTOBER, 1997 AND HE TOLD ME TOUGH LUCK - YOU WENT PAST THE 12 MONTH DEADLINE. I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY RECORDS ON OTHER PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS , POWER TRAINS ON THESE TRUCKS. WE JUST HOPE IT WILL HOLD TOGETHER UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD TO TRADE IT OFF. WE HAVE ALSO HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK BUT THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS IT IS BREAKING US UP TO KEEP CLUTCHES IN IT. WE DO NOT USE THE TRUCK EVERYDAY - IT USUALLY SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE DEALER DOES NOT SEEM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM - THEY DID NOT OFFER ANY HELP OTHER THAN TAKING OUR $2200.00 AND THEN TELLING US "TOUGH LUCK" WHEN THE CLUTCH WENT OUT AGAIN. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT.
