1999 Ford F-350 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 64, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving on a flat surface at 15mph, the vehicle lost its clutch. Making it hard to stop the vehicle. Dealer notified. *ak the consumer stated that the roll pin that holds the hydraulic line to the slave cylinder on the clutch had come out and the line dropped down. (no clutch)
Vehicle was at a complete stop and manual clutch went out. Vehicle lurched forward through a red light.*ak.
Clutch was replaced at 40000 miles, it needs to be replaced again. Manufacturer/dealer have been notified. *ak
Plastic spacer in clutch assembly broke, causing clutch to malfunction. Please provide further information.
Low clutch engagement causing the clutch to release with pedal against down stop or not to release at all. Had truck towed for safety reasons. When the clutch doesn't release this could cause an accident and failure to be able to stop vehicle when clutch goes all the way to the floor and not disengage clutch.
Cab of the truck vibrated very hard at any speed. Took to mechanic and they replaced torque converter, then hub, still same problem. Took to ford, ford replaced tires, still shaking. Then, they replaced driveshaft, still shook. Dealer did not know what the problem was. Please provide any further information.
Parking brake cable failed prior to recall notice 02v‑068. Nlm
Transfer case shifting fork wore out. Truck had only been in four wheel drive about a dozen times all in snow conditions on major hiways. No offroading at all. Had to replace the shifting fork, a planetary gear an a imput shaft. This was the only way ford would sell the repacement parts. Ford has made a design change on the shifting fork.
Consumer states while driving in hot weather the vehicle is hard to shift, this problem also occurs occasionally when the weater is not hot, as a result the driver has to shut the engine off before an accident occurs. Nlm
Clutch pedal will not return when applied. Vehicle taken to dealer, and was informed of a yoke failure. Repairs were made at consumer's cost. Dealer stated that this is not an uncommon problem. Replacement parts were from ford, consumer is concerned why failed yoke is not a manufacturer defect. *ak
Whenever driving at various speeds clutch would go out. Would have no prior warning. Had taken to dealership at least 4 times, and clutch has been changed 4 times. There isn't any indication of cause of problem. It still exists.
Clutch hydraulic release system failed catastrophically, causing vehicle to jump forward immediately and violently. Fortunately the car in front of me was far enough away so that I didn't hit it, before getting vehicle stopped. On investigation, I found that the roll pin which holds the clutch line into the slave cylinder had backed out, and allowed the high pressure line to disconnect. When this happened, the clutch engaged violently, and the vehicle lurched forward on engine power. This could have caused a major accident, if any of the circumstances had been different.
The parking brake will not hold well on an incline. This is especially noticed in reverse, as on a boat ramp with a boat that I am trying to launch. I can set the brake as hard as I can and the truck will still roll back against the parking pall in the automatic transmission. It becomes very difficult to then shift the transmission into gear. The dealer has looked at it twice and stated that they don't see a problem but they cannot duplicate the conditions.
Vehicle stalls at any speed/ any time. Taken to dealer numerous times, cannot remedy situation. *ak also, transmission jerks when shifting gears.
Four wheel drive will engage at any speed while making a turn or stopping. Dealership has examined vehicle three times, and cannot effectively remedy the problem. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
At 35000 miles left hub assembly went out. Dealer told consumer when axle hub assembly went out it caused bearings to get really hot, and could possibly start a fire. Consumer stated at 35,750 mile vehcile's right/ left hub assembly and rotors had to be replaced. Consumer stated that at 66,000 vehicle needed another left hub assembly.
Manual transmission clutch rod cylinder broke while shifting to make a turn. Was going only 25mph on a back road. Was able to restart vehicle and drove it home. Had it towed to dealership, and mechanic could not find cause of breakage, but was able to replace rod and slave cylinder.
Pilot bearing went out completely, pilot shaft went into pilot bearing. Consumer was not able to shift gears, it was not driveable. Consumer replaced pilot bearing. Currently, it went out again. Took to dealer, and they replaced pilot bearing and pilot shaft.
The plastic retainer located where the clutch pedal engages the rod for the clutch master cylinder wears out allowing the rod to disengage the pedal assembly without any notice of inpending failure. This happened to me in a crowded parking lot at the canton trade days. Luckily I was in 1st gear and was able to idle to a parking space without hitting anyone or anything. Once the pedals comes loose and the engine is stopped it cannot be restared without the pedal assemble being in place. This problem can be avoided by returning back to the old style ball and socket set up used on older vehicles and doing away with the plactic pieces in the setup. Had I been behind someone or been in a downtown driving situation where a pedestrian been in front of me such as a stop light when it decided to come loose the outcome may have been extremely serious.
While driving on highway transfer case broke and vehicle was no longer able to run. There was no prior waring. Consumer has contacted dealer, and dealer said they couldn't do anything because vehicle is no longer under warranty.
Clutch did not slip at all. Was in 5th and slowing for an exit to 4th. Clutch would not engage to 4th, towed to dealer. Told springs failed and had been failing a long time. Also informed that dealer has had frequent problems and ford has redesigned clutch assembly three times. Power steering will just go out usually in a turn. Eems to happen when engine is hot or running over hour or so.
The u-bolts failed, and the axel dropped down. We heard a "thud" , and felt a dropping sensation. The steering immediatley became inoperable, and the truck crashed into several bales of hay. The driver's side door was damaged. When I contacted parker toyota, they claimed my extended warranty did not cover the axel. I then paid for the repairs out of pocket. Later the same day, I pulled a VIN history on the vehicle, and found that the odometer had been rolled back. When we purchased the truck, we were told that it was a trade in from a guy that bought it at parker ford, and traded it in to parker toyota. The true story (verifed by ford motors), was that the truck came out of terrace, bc. It went to auction in may 2000, where the odometer was converted from km to us miles. They have records that it went in to the odometer shop with 68,000 km, and came out with 33,100 us miles. This is a mistake of nearly 10,000 miles. Parker toyota admits that they are at fault for the odometer fraud, but refuses to do anything about it. We are filing suit against parker toyota for fraud.
Due to defective turbo intake which blewout vehicle stalled while driving. This might have caused a crash. Dealer fixed this part 5 times, but it is still reoccurring. Also, while downshifting from 2nd gear to 1st gear vehicle will go into reverse automatically, causing damages to the rear part of vehicle. *ak one turbo lost its power and shutdown before being pulled over to road side. The transmission does not go into reverse gear.
We have experienced repeated transmission problems including 2 total breakdowns, the last one on 09-07-2000 endangered everyone in the vehicle. May 9, eratic shifting, speed control sensor had to be replaced, may 10 - may 22, shifting problems continued, control module replaced. May 23, total transmission failure, transmission was rebuilt onjune 8.. June 29, shifting problems started again. July 18, ford dealer checked, reprogramed transmission and told me no problems found. July 31, ford dealer load tested truck, replaced module and reprogramed again, everything ok. September 7, towing trailer down 7% - 7 mile lewiston grade transmission failed, lost engine compression braking and had to rely only on brakes to slow truck. Had no transmission in any gear when we reached bottom. New transmission now being installed. This is a safety problem which placed everyone in the truck in danger.
Transmission system malfunctioned, which while reversing and pulling a trailer, transmission overheated and burned out. Dealer redesigned the transmssion and cooling system. Vehicle was still experiencing the problem, and vehicle downshifted, it did not slow down the vehicle. Please provide further information.*ak the vehicle is not equiped with mechanism to control vehicle's speed when descending steep grades. The transmission failed twice prematurely. The transmission also over heats under heavy load and when driving in reverse.
Clutch will fail when shifting from high to low.please provide further information.
I know many fellow ford diesel 6 spd. Owners having clutch&transmission problems. Ford dealers tell us it's an isolated problem. I guess that's why my truck is in douglas, wy and I live in needville, tx
Clutch locks up and its impossible to shift gears. Failures occur without any warning when the clutch disc spring pockets break, jamming the clutch. If this happens in traffic it could cause a serious accident. Ford admits that there is a failure problem with clutch disc. Consumer says clutches are lasting 25k miles between failures. *ak
Transmission slips in reverse.
