A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I have previously complained to this site and the firestone customer relations of my steeltex a/t tire cracking on the side wall. I was told to have them checked at a firestone dealer and I was told the integrity of the tire was not compromised. On july 7, 2004, my family and I were almost killed (minor injury) when the right front firestone steeltex a/t tire exploded, the tread separated from the tire as we were traveling 70 miles an hour on I-85 north.
Hood flew up and Brakes locked up when I tried to stop causing me to slide sideways unable to control it and flipped four times and the air bags never came out and truck was totaled.
Right headlight very dim. Wiggle switch and it used to return to full bright now it stays dim. Replaced bulbs no change. I have seen this other ford super duty trucks here in conyers ga.
2000 ford excursion with 7.3 power stroke diesel. Sudden stall of engine while driving. No warning, just quit while driving causing loss of power steering and power brakes which are necessary for adequate control of a vehicle of this size. Replacement of the camshaft position solved the problem. To date, and 260,000 miles on the vehicle, this sensor has failed three times. I now carry a spare sensor, and know how to replace it.
