1999 Ford F-250 transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 61 of 61, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This truck has many problems. Strarting with the transmission going out, the front right side of the truck there is a distinctive "clunk" when put into gear; either forward or reverse. Then going interior; the "door ajar" light comes on it thinks that the doors are not shut, but you can slam all 4 doors shut and it still thinks the doors are "ajar" so that will keep the interior light on while driving. The interior light will go out if you get up to about 20 MPH, then when you slow down to under 20mph it will come back on. The "warning bell" comes on and stays on even when the truck is shut off. Next the seat belts will some times work and some times not. Either the are hard to pull out or they will not retract. The tailgate cover has warped in not even 1 year after we had it.
When vehicle shifted gears it vibrated for a quick second. Also, when vehicle reached 43mph, it vibrated real hard. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer, and they changed the tires. Vehicle was taken in again, and dealer then admitted that it was a problem and he had no clue.
Front hub would not hold vacuum causing 4 wheel drive not to engage even though the 4 wheel drive light is illuminated. This caused the truck to loose control and hit a tree. Nlm
When I put my truck into gear and initially start out there was knocking and clunking coming from under the right (passenger side) floor boards. Clunking seemed similar to bad u-joints when torque is put on them. Clunking could be felt on floor. I had in to dealer numerous times before they were able to feel and hear clunking. The knocking and clunking is more prevelant in warm weather. Now I am told by dealer ( place motor, 19 thompson road-route 193,webster, ma,01570, ph.#5089438010) that this is "under investigation" by ford motor co. I asked what my options were because I don't like driving a new vehicle around with the clunking and nothing being done. At this point there was nothing they could do and that these problems happen and it takes time to find them. I wasn't happy with the wait until it falls off attitude I got, not necessarily from the dealer but from ford. This is the second new vehicle we have purchased from ford that has had the "under investigation" label put on it. I had a 1997 ford expedition that, on cold start ups, had a two to three minute engine rapping noise that was also "under investigation". It sounded as if no oil was getting in the engine for the longest time. This problem turned us off from buying out our vehicle from its lease program. 2 for 2 does not make me very keen on ford quality or its customer satisfaction, especially on $30,000. To $40,000.

Driving down a dry road with the 4 -wheel drive and upon making a sharp left or right turn the front wheel hubs will lock up. Contacted dealer claims this is ormal.
Clutch assembly has disintegrated twice, causing transmission and engine to lock together, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
The vehicle would not shift out of low gear ,and the speedometer would not function. The dealer has inspected vehicle .
Clutch assembly failed. Nlm
Vehicle caught fire in the engine compartment due to leaking transmission fluid.
When going down hill a part within the transfer case wore out, causing the vehicle to go into neutral, allowing the vehicle pick up speed and run away.
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.
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
While driving the transmission failed. I coasted to the side of the road, turned off the truck and restarted. The truck then moved. I stopped at traffic light and pressed the gas pedal when the light turned green - the truck would not move. After a few minutes the truck moved when I pressed the gas pedal. In the ford service lot the truck was running and in park - it jumped into reverse. Ford replaced the transmission and took the truck on a test drive. While on the test drive the tech noticed the rear end was grinding. When he took it back to the shop he found the bearings had come apart. They told me a new rear end was needed. Ford has also replaced the electronic gas pedal. They have repaired wiring to correct the windshield washer fluid problem. They have also replaced the radio. I have had the truck in my possession from 12-3 to 12-11. Ea04006 has ifs
Vehicle's capacity of the weight rating is wrongfully misprinted at 4900,but should read at 6000+. Dealer/mfr. Notified, and refused to make correction. Consumer would like to know what can be done? *ak
The vehicle came out of gear (park), it proceeded to roll backwards down the hill. The drivers side door was open and caught on a tree which was near the vehicle. It also knocked down and injured a 4 year old as it was rolling down the hill. The vehicle was slowed down by the tree, which barely gave the driver enough time to climb into the vehicle and bring it to a complete stop before it went backwards into a revine. It has not yet been determined why this incident occurred.
