There is a popping sound from right front side of vehicle. Consumer feels that there is something loose or it could be metal fatigue when backing up, going forward or when turning wheels. Does not occur during normal driving, only when just accelerating. Sound will occur approximately 4 or 5 times a day. Dealership cannot reproduce the sound, and cannot determine the defect.
1999 Ford F-250 suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Original bushings on fork were plastic. Ford has since changed these to another material. According to the dealers mechanic there have been several problems of this nature. I've contacted ford motors and they have failed to return my calls. I've asked for financial reimbursment for this repair. Again no contact has been made. Can you help me get some results? Thanks.
Pe00020; tire tread separation: while driving about 75 MPH, about 90% of the tread on the driver's front side tire came off. Driver was able to control vehicle. 1999, ford, f250. Tire size lt 265/75r16, dot # vnw81xl, original tire equipment. Tire mileage about 20,000. Owner tried to contact firestone, but got the run around. Truck was registered to benito cantu. Report given by friend. *ak the customer got new alulminium rim installed. The right front shock was leaking. Water was coming into air cleaner assembly.
When driving at any speed and making a left or right hand turn front end makes a very loud noise. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer has replaced several parts front spring, isolators, front shocks , sway bar, bushings and bolt joint.
6 alignments in 24,000 miles, a broken 14mm suspension bolt, a steering gearbox failure, 3 sets of brakes & rotor/caliper replacement indicates major design/material & quality problems. The vehicle has also left me stranded 5 times for other not listed engine related failures. Ford customer relations is useless, could care less & is non-supportive.
Right side of vehicle has been hit. Mechanic stated vehicle was wobbling down the road. This car was in a previous accident.
99 ford 250 super duty cannot adjust camber/caster without changing the bushings. The alignment computer shows "value is not within specification. Tire wear, handling and safety problems may result." ford will not take care of this under warranty. This is not adjustable unless a kit is added at my expense. Ford claims it is a wear item and is not covered. If this piece wears out in 14,157 miles, ford has a safety problem according to the computer. The truck has pulled to the right since it was new. Evidently they are aware of this problem. Since kits are available to correct the problem ( if caught within 12,500). They are shipped with non-adjustable kits, that are locked in and cannot be adjusted.
While driving vehicle wanders from side to side which may cause a loss of vehicle control. Dealer cannot determine the problem. *ak
The bolts sheared off the front end which caused loss of vehicle control, and could have resulted in a crash. Please provide further information.
When towing trailer and or when carrying weight in the rear of the box, upon hitting a large bump or a smaller roller type bump the truck swerves left and right and the steering seems to pull somewhat. The servicing local deler said there is technical service bulletin on this problem but not for the f-250, only for the f-350 and up . They said they can not order the parts to fix mine because ford has not given approval for this. The technical service bulletin from ford concerning this problem , I believe is tsb99-8-2.
Vehicle in for repairs on numerous occasions to try to rectify front end suspension noise, replacement of the air conditioner compressor did not remedy noise.
When the weather is cold slush accumulates in the front filter air box, causing the truck to die / fail. Dealer is aware of the problem. The problem has not been corrected. The dealer will replace the air box if the truck is still under warranty. Please provide any further information. *ak
While driving over 60 MPH front end vibrated hard which almost resulted a loss of vehicle control. Dealer replaced the steering damper kit.
While driving vehicle hit a bump in road, vehicle would shook/vibrated, strayed into another lane. Vehicle lost control. Been to dealer & mechanic cannot locate cause of vibration. Believed stablizer was defective.
There is a squealing noise coming from the front end in the suspension. Dealership knows about the problem & referred owner to the hotline.
Severe vibration at any speed seemingly from front drive train (bearings, axels, hubs)? The only way I can drive the truck is to engage the front left axel.otis ford has been trying to find the problem for two and a half months replacing parts that didn't solve the problem. I am waiting now for three weeks for parts they have ordered to try to fix this problem.
I have taken my truck in to the dealer three times to get them to fix the problem. They thought they had it fixed the first time. The other times I was told that ford was aware of the problem, but didn't know how to fix it yet! A popping noise comes from the rear of my 4x4 crewcab every time that I go over a bump at slow speeds.
Stopped at a traffic light and when light turned green, pressed gas pedal but truck would not move. Waited a few minutes and pressed pedal and truck went. Driving down highway, truck started coasting - engine was running but pressing the gas pedal gave no power. Finally got the truck to ford service. Left the truck running and in park - the truck jumped into reverse. The truck lost power again while the ford tech was test driving. They replaced the electronic gas pedal and the transmission. They took the truck on a test drive and noticed the rear end was grinding. They determined the carrier bearings had come apart. They have ordered a new rear end. The windshield washer fluid would not spray - they repaired some wiring to correct that problem. Ea04006 has ifs
