While driving to work on october 7, 2009 I had a spark plug blow out of cylinder #3 of my 2000 ford super duty v-10. This cost me $125 dollars of towing, and $350.00 in repair. I pulled over immediately to reduce the chance of anymore damage to the vehicle. I don't know what happened to the spark plug after hearing it bouncing under the vehicle. Hopefully it didn't cause any damage to other vehicles on the freeway at the time.

Esof system for 4-wheel drive for 2000 ford f250 with 77k miles: the esof on my truck failed to disengage the front hubs, leaving them permanently in the locked position. The dealer informed me that the hubs, motor, etc of the esof system had to be replaced due to corrosion and water in the system. I am not sure how this happened since the only water I encounter is what is on the highway when it rains. Evidently the hubs had been locked for a long period of time, as it LED to additional wear and tear on the upper and lower ball joints, which also had to be replaced.

Repeated manual transmission failure. Ford replaced my manual transmission on my 2000 f250 under warranty, with about 35,000 miles on it. The transmission again failed with about 84,000 miles on the truck, 49,000 on the transmission, and $4,000 out of my pocket. This truck is well maintained and rarely operated with a load. A second complaint is that I have now taken my truck in for the 100,000 tune up. The dealer informed me the spare tire fell off because the cable holding it broke. The spare tire has never been removed from the truck. This is a serious concern if spare tires are falling off of trucks.

Front hubs on 4wd ford f-250 pickup were stuck in locked, even though set to automatic. Caused failure of cv joint on front drive shaft, which resulted in crack case and transmission exploding (literally, as in parts flying all over I-80). Transmission shop owner (action transmission, rock springs, wy) indicated he's seen same occur before. One part dented support on pontoon boat being towed -- if not there, could have gone through someone's windshield. A very dangerous failure, in my opinion. I have kept and photographed the parts replaced by shop (except what was left of the transmission, which was required to avoid core charge) as well as several pieces I picked up off hightway. The hubs had problems in the past and were replaced less than 11,000 miles before incident, yet were outside fords 12-month "warranty" period. They have refused to provide any financial assistance with repairs. Ford dealer in rock springs had several week backlog on transmission work so I had it repaired elsewhere ($5,818).

I have a 2000 ford f250 super duty 4x4 7.3 diesel. While driving over a mountain pass on 11-4-06 the front end started shaking violently and I almost lost control of the vehicle. I managed to steer it to the side of the road where I discovered the left front hub assembly/ wheel bearing had failed and the tire and wheel were falling off the vehicle. The truck was towed to a large dealer where both front hub assemblies were replaced. These hub assembles are a sealed unit with no way of servicing them. This repair is very expensive( 450.00) per side for parts + labor. The dealer stated that this has been a problem with these trucks and couldn't understand why ford hasn't recalled the problem,as they alone have replaced close to 65 units and this is just one dealer. Needless to say ford wouldn't stand behind the repair and I had to pay it myself. This is a very dangerous situation in that if this would have happened at highway speeds it would most certainty caused total loss of control of the vehicle. I have 4 friends and my brother who all have had this exact same problem and one,my brother, had damage to his vehicle when he lost control. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me and am perplexed why ford doesn't address this safety problem.

At 85000 miles of very light use my f250 hd model year 2000 with diesel engine had a transmission failure and had to be replaced. If this truck is referred to as a super duty and heavily advertised as such a strong truck why would my transmission fail. Again this truck is used more like a car then a construction vehicle.

First, I love my truck, but if I didn't have an extended warranty, it be down the road. Items either repaired or replaced all before 47k miles (now has 49k miles as of 10/2005) with all work being done at my local ford dealership: automatic transmission was replaced once, and again required repair for broken pump. Rear end completely replaced. Auto front locking hubs replaced twice. Rear driveline was replaced. Air box broken and replaced. "super duty diesel" implies a really tough truck, but I baby mine - is that what I'm done wrong?
