What owners wrote
2004 f-350 began having stalling problems at <2000 miles. After several attempts to fix the vehicle, we asked for a replacement. While waiting on action from ford, we were in an accident on april 15,2005 after the truck failed while crossing an intersection.
The bolts that hold the brackets for the top support of the air suspension system continuously break. This occurred in five vehicle (ambulances) so far, VIN numbers: [xxx], [xxx], [xxx], [xxx], and [xxx]. Took the vehicles to be repaired at ford dealership. There were 2 units with bracket failure, also had broken brake lines which caused the brakes to fail. The brake light on the dash and the brake line was not attached properly. The rear suspension bracket had broken.
