1995 Ford F-250 Power Train

FRONT LEFT AXLE PINION BRACKET BROKE, ONE OF THE BOLTS CAME OFF. *AK

RECENTLY WHEN I GOT IN MY 1995 F250 W/MANUAL TRANSMISSION I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO START IT UP & THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD & STAYED THERE. WHAT I FOUND AFTER INSPECTING THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS THAT THE END OF THE ROD THAT GOES INTO THE MASTER CLUTCH CYLINDER BROKE (THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE PEDDLE). THIS ROD APPEARS TO BE PLASTIC ON THE END & METAL GOING INTO THE MASTER CYLINDER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WAS DRIVING THIS TRUCK AND THIS ROD BROKE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO STOP QUICKLY (OR STOP AT ANY TIME) THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP SINCE THE CLUTCH WOULDN'T HAVE ENGAGED. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THIS PART AS EVIDENCE IF NEEDED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, WITHOUT WARNING THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. WHILE AT THE STOP LIGHT THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN DUE TO A BLOWN TRANSMISSION. BE ADVISED THIS IS THE THIRD TRANSMISSION REPLACED INSIDE OF THE TRUCK. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *PH

TRANSMISSION COOLER PLUGGED UP. LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON FORD TRUCKS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD WE KNOWN OF THE PROBLEM. WE COULD HAVE PUT AN AFTER MARKET COOLER ON THE TRUCK. NOW, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WILL COST ME OVER $2000.00 TO FIX FORDS MISTAKE. THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED BECAUSE OF TIME, NOT MILAGE SO I GUESS I AM STUCK. PLEASE HELP. *AK

FRONT AXLE OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND OF POOR DESIGN. NLM

PROBLEM FIRST CAME TO MY ATTENTION WHEN I STARTED NOTICING A CLUNKING NOISE FOLLOWED BY THE FRONT 4 WHEEL DRIVE HUBS INGAGEING WHEN PROCEEDING FROM A STOP. THE PROBLEM IS QUITE CLEARLY PREMATURE WARE, AND POSSIBLY A SAFETY PROBLEM. AS THE VEHICLE WAS TECHNICALLY OFF WARANTY (6 MONTHS), FORD OFFERED TO PICKUP 1/3 OF THE COST, THE DEALER 1/3, AND MYSELF THE REMAINDER WITH LITTLE DEBATE ABOUT IT. FORD HOWEVER REFUSED TO PICKUP THE REMAINDER OF THE COST.

WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. WITH 4-WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED, DRIVER'S SIDE HUB LOCKED UP AND DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, RESULTING IN A CRASH. DEALER CONTACTED, AND PROBLEM REMEDIED UNDER EXTENED WARRANTY *AK

ACCORDING TO SERVICE TECH AT DOERSCH FORD IN GREEN BAY WI, THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE PICK UP TRUCKS. HE ALSO SAID FORD KNOWS THAT THIS TRANSMISSION WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE DIESEL MOTOR, AND THEY HAVE SINCE REDESIGNED THE ENTIRE THING.

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER WOULD HEAR LOUD NOISES. THEN THE AUTOMATIC 4-WHEEL DRIVE LOCKING HUB GOES OUT, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME A 2-WHEEL DRIVE. WILL BE TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER. *AKDEALER REPLACED WITH MANUAL HUBS. * ADJ

THE TRANSMISSION BEARINGS HAVE PREMATURELY FAILED BECAUSE OF LACK OF LUBRICATION, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO LOCK UP. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

DEFECT WITHIN TRANSMISSION CAUSED IT TO HEAT UP AND MELT ALL THE PARTS.

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, CAUSING JERKING WHILE SHIFTING.

RETAINING CLIP BROKE ALLOWING PLASTIC ROD THAT CONNECTS THE CLUTCH PEDAL SHAFT TO THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER TO DISENGAGE.

CLUTCH HAS FAILED FIVE TIMES, APPROXIMATELY EVERY 20,000 MILES.

MASTER AND SLAVE CYLINDERS KEEP GOING OUT AND THE TWO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THE CLUTCH. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

BUSHING FROM CLUTCH PEDAL LINKAGE TO CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER FAILED CAUSING THE MASTER CYLINDER PLUNGER ROD TO SLIP OFF PEDAL LINKAGE. THIS ENGAGES CLUTCH CAUSING UNEXPECTED VEHICLE LUNGE.

TRIED TO SHIFT GEAR, WOULDN'T SHIFT, TOOK TO DEALER WHOFOUND THAT THE SEAL WAS LEAKING . *AK

OWNER STATES WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE THE SLAVE CYLINDER IS DEFECTIVE WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STOP AT ANY TIME. OWNER ALSO NOTES THAT THIS PART HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE PLASTIC AROUND SLAVE CYLINDER MELTS. *AK

UPON APPROACHING A HILL IT IS VERY HARD TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. PLEASE DESCRIBE IN MORE DETAILS, CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER , DEALER STATES THAT IT IS NORMAL OPERATION. *AK

VEHICLE LEFT IN IDLE POSITION IN PARK, JUMPED OUT GEAR AND ROLLED FORWARD, IMPACT 12:00 POSITION. *AK *SLC
