Large amount of transmission fluid leaked out on driveway making truck unable to drive.
- Spring Lake, MI, USA
The tire on my truck kept leaking air down over a whole day. I would refill with air the next morning and would try and find where the leak was. Could not find any whole in the tire. When the service station took the wheel off the truck and put air into the tire we could hear air leaking out. We then located a crack in the aluminum wheel. We then located a second crack in the aluminum wheel. We then contacted a junk yard ( D&D, newcomers) about purchasing a used aluminum wheel Ford part # F 81A1007gb, both said that they do not sell this used wheel due to a manufacturing defect. We they ask if we could purchase a refurbished aluminum wheel and both again said that no one would refurbish the Ford part due to defect. I have contacted Ford Motor Company and the local Ford dealer hagerstown Ford service manager tim rowe and they said that they know of no defect. We replaced the aluminum wheel with a new Ford aluminum wheel part # 4C3Z1007kacp. I own a 99 Ford F-350 dual wheel truck 4X6.

Defective transmission in 1999 F350 series trucks. The consumer replaced the first transmission while the vehicle was still under warranty, at the time, Ford installed a re-manufactured transmission per company policy. For that transmission the consumer purchased an extended warranty. Almost one year later a second transmission was placed in the vehicle. Another Ford dealer in Iowa stated that the re-manufactured transmission was defective from the start and that a part of it was egging when it should have been round. The power steering pump had to be replaced within the first 2K miles. The consumer requested that Ford should cover the cost spent on the repair(s).

The vehicles gear shift broke off the transmission.

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.

While driving down the road at approximately 50mph and applying the brakes, heard a heavy noise. When taking off and giving it gas, vehicle won't shift, and the rpms were higher. Also, speedometer would go out. Vehicle is the fifth time at the dealer for service.
