1999 Ford F-250 engine complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 82 of 82, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving 4 hours from home engine failed, has been 26 days and still no replacement.
The problem is the engine is using oil, this is a new vehicle, I am being told that this engine should use 1 quart of oil in 900 miles, I just don't believe that a new vehicle should be using this much oil. I think I'm getting the run around , it is my belief that ford is having trouble with these new engines and they don't know what to do about it, I am not the only one with one of these new ford trucks that is having this problem.
Consumers feel sick while driving in vehicle, possible exhaust leak into cargo compartment.
Major oil leak coming most likely coming from the area of the left head where it attaches to the block or in that vicinity. I noticed a little oil the week previous on the drive way but was not to concerned as I had just changed oil. Yesterday, before leaving to christmas shop I fueled up and checked the oil it was about 2 qts. Low so added oil. This morning 12/19/99 I noticed a large quaintly of oil under the truck so I again checked the oil. While driving the day before the engine had lost about 2 gallons of oil in approximately 85 miles of driving. During this drive I noticed no change in oil pressure or any overheating of the engine hopefully the gauges are operating correctly. There was so much oil under the truck that it had saturated the left rear break caliper and the entire under body of the vehicle. I plan on taking the truck to the ford dealer monday morning.
Cylinder head failed.
While driving heard loud knocking all gages registerd ok pulled over had truck towed dealership said had no, oil gages still read ok not hot ,or low oil pressure, told bearing in engine failed need new engine,I have up to date maint. Records why did oil gage or water gage not register a problem befor e engine blowing up . If someone changed there own oil and did not tighten oil pan plug -oil drained out -shouldn't some sort of indicator (check engine) or gages reading abnormal come up before engine blows up please advise asap
Started truck. Pulled onto the road and when I pressed the accelerator all it would do was idle. Pressed the accelerator to the floor 4 times and still the engine would not respond. All it would do was idle
Due defective brake lines, which dealer replaced twice, steering wheel shakes vigorously. This may cause driver to lose control and could result in a crash. Also problems with the transmission and engine. Please provide further information.
Loud knocking noise from engine, dealer said drive it until it quits it is a gas engine but it sounds like a diesel,, transmission which is a 5 speed manual comes out of gear when you shift from 2 to 3 this happens about 20-30% of the time at speed of about 15 engine RPM is around 3000-3500, had a proublem with the air bag system when is was 2 days old dealer had the truck for about 3 weeks, not to sure that I want them to tear into the transmission, engine noise the service manager had no idea what that proublem is.
Engine surging unresolved, surging is linked to cruise control malfuncition.
Truck broke down on freeway due to loss of oil which caused engine to overheat. Oil gauge did not indicate a problem.
