Ford F-250 Sd 2003 SteeringFord F-250 Sd 2003 Steering Review #10000672 FORD F-250 SD 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 25, 2002.FORD F-250 SD 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STEERING . my husband was driving home whien his vehicle veered sharply to the left. at this point he could no longer control the vehicle. he then slammed into a large rock in the side of an eight foot bank. the vehicle then flipped onto its side and slid another 20-30 feet. our vehicle is a 2003 ford f250 and now has $20,000.00 worth of damage. we tried to discuss this matter with a few of the employees of the ford dealership we initially bought it at. someone in service told us something definatly didn't look right with the steering. the owner of the dealership then told us we would have a hard time proving that anything was wrong with the vehicle prior to the accident because of the extensive damage that is now done to the vehicle. we also tried discussing this matter with our insurance company. our insurance adjustor told us that they most likely would not pursue the matter because "no one was critically injured or killed" in the accident. he also told me that he did not even take a look under the truck to see if anything looked out of the ordinary. my husband strongly feels that this accident was not his fault. we have no idea where else to turn for help. please help us!!.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 4750 miles.

(no one told me my case was closed) i found a number for her in the internet and will try again. this truck is dangerous and should be recalled ...now failure are daily, dates vary since purchase date. *nlm .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1500 miles.

Ford F-250 Sd 2003 Reports
my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
