At 55mph and over, severe vibration/difficulty controlling truck. 4 returns to dealer, who performed exhaust and other repairs/mods, no improvement. Dealer and ford said normal. 2 independent mechanics discover bent driveshaft. Dealer told, dealer finally replaces driveshaft. Truck now ok. Have heard many others complain of same problem/ford/dealer treatment.
2000 Ford F-150 transmission complaints

The torque converter in this vehicle locks up without warning. The problem is intermittent. The problem manifests while cruising and while at stop. When problem happens at stop, the car will lurch forward and kill engine. Stopping distance in increased when event occures during cruise. Incident occurred at near pedestrians and nearly caused collision. Incident occured in parking lot and caused slight bumber impact with stop post. Ford will not fix problem because no error codes are generated by the event, and cannot be duplicated by dealer. I am formally seeking appropriate remedy to have torque converter replaced. I am baffled by ford's lack of concern and unwillingness to fix a low cost warrantied component. I will have unit reparied by independent mechanic if ford continues to refuse. I will gladly submit failed unit to the federal safety agency for your analysis. Thanks for your support.
While traveling at 60 MPH the speedometer dropped to 25 MPH and the "low range" light illuminated. The vehicle never slowed and the 4 wheel drive low did not engage. The problem occurs sporadically at all speeds.
The vehicle stalls numerous times I have been involved in 1 minor accident with a stationary object I was almost hit by a tractor trailer when the vehicle stalled at an intersection I have tried numerous times to resolve the problem to no assurance that the vehicle is good to drive I have contacted ford and the dealership and also been contacted by them I have been given the run around numerous times. The truck has been to 2 different shops and it goes back in on 9/4/00 they have tried 3 times to correct the problem and only once did they do something to try to correct it and it has not worked
The stick rattles like a snake-tail in 2@3 gears mostly,at 3k-RPM: machanics say,this is normal...huh?
While at a dead stop foot slipped off the clutch, and consumer bounced into the back of another car. Upon impact, airbags tried to deploy, but didn't all the way. Also, there was a big hole in the drivers side air bag. Consumer felt that airbags should not have been interrupted by such a small bump.
While driving throttle malfunctioned, causing sudden acceleration. Driver had to press down the brakes in order to stop vehicle. This may have caused a crash. Also, problems with the transmission system. After taken in to the dealer, dealer claimed that no adjustments were needed, the floor mats were causing the problem. Consumer believes that adjustments were made however, because vehicle shifts much better now. *ak
