Fuel/Propulsion System · at 92,000 miles · reported Jun 26, 2014
On 06/25/2014 I was driving my 2002 ford f-250 super duty 7.3 litre diesel south on rt. 81 in syracuse ny. At exit 81 and in congested traffic when I lost all engine power. The transmission light came on but when I pressed the accelerator nothing happened. The engine was still running but the truck would not go. I was in the left lane intending to go south on 81 with a barrier on my left and no shoulder to escape traffic. I signaled and drifted over to the right and ended up stopping in an area between the rt 81 lane and an exit ramp. While doing this I had slowed considerably as the truck had…

Engage clutch pedal and clutch pedal went to the floor. They have a plastic bushing that goes around a steel ball fitting to hold clutch cable to clutch pedal. It is so bad I carry extra plastic bushings with me in case of failure. My concern is that when I have a fully loaded truck with camper and horse trailer in toe. I AM stuck with a truck stuck in gear and no way to disengage clutch. Even empty this is a scary uncomfortable experience. They should have a solid pin for a connection not a cheap $5.00 part that breaks every 30,000 miles. I hope this can be corrected before someone is killed.

And yet no recall mandated by the feds. What a country we live in?
Steering · at 62,000 miles · reported Aug 16, 2005
This problem began when the truck was purchased new from the dealership. We didn't find out the real problem until about a few months ago. The dealership says no fix have to leave with the problem. When you are going at slow speeds with the vehicle you are unable to turn the vehicle. They said its the booster in the vehicle when it was designed they only but one for the brakes and the steering. So when you brake at anytime you no longer have steering. This means your antilock brakes will not work. We have had a minor accident no one hurt and not enough damage to claim. But there has been many…
