While driving 35 MPH, the consumer depressed the clutch and the pedal stayed on the floor of the vehicle. The pedal eventually came back up, but upon depressing it again the pedal stayed down on the floor of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to dealer and it was found that the clutch fork was defective. The dealer repaired the problem with a clutch fork of a different configuration.

Manual transmission is difficult to get into low gears and grinds going into high gears due to the original clutch assembly defect. Under normal and above operating temps, when clutch is pushed in, the hydraulic line in the clutch assembly expands using more hydraulic oil than the system can hold. This causes the clutch discs to not get propeer seperation disengaging power to the transmission causing difficulty in shifting. Ford told me I needed an updated clutch assembly at my cost of $465.00 plus tax. Ford must have known of this problem or why would they already have an updated clutch assembly to offer? By not being able to shift properly, it is extremely unsafe and is causing transmission damage. I feel that this is a factory defect and it should be recalled immediately and anyone having to pay should be refunded. I work with a man who has an f350 who has to shut his engine off in order to get it into 1st gear. I failed to list that this truck does have fuel injection.

The right rear axle seal failed under warranty at 34427 miles and was replaced by park ford. The right rear axle seal failed again at 70400 miles. The failure causes axle oil to leak out onto the brake pads. The truck is difficult to control during hard braking. I called ford customer service and talked to park ford multiple times requesting them to fix the problem. They said the truck was out of warranty and they would not help. I took the truck to another mechanic who found that the plastic fitting (breather element) at the top of the rear axle vent line was plugged. It was molded shut from the factory. This caused the axle seal to fail twice and causes a safety problem when oil leaks onto the brake pads.

This vehicle exhibits a problem with the drivetrain. Upon decelerating rapidly in first or second gear something in the drivetrain begins to bang back and forth. Sometimes it is so violent that the vehical is difficult to control. This is especially noticable on rough roads. I think that in certain situations it could result in a crash. I have tried to address this problem with ford. They claim it is an inherent condition with this model of vehical and have chosen to do nothing. If this is an inherent condition with this vehical, I feel a recall may be in order as I feel this to be a valid mechanical and safety concern.
