2000 F250 sd 7.3 diesel incident date 2/15/2010 2/12/2010 I took my truck into the dealer to get a oil change and a recall fixed on the cruise control. That morning when I started it up, it had a noise when I turned the wheel, when I brought it in, they said the gasket on my power steering had gone bad, and I needed a complete replacement of my power steering pump. Now is when the real problem starts... I had not experienced this problem prior to the dealer visit. All of the sudden when I drive on the highway, any rough road sends it into uncontrollable shaking, I thought I was going to lose complete control of the truck, it could easily cause an accident. I looked for this problem on the internet, and found this is a problem for many Ford sd drivers, and as others have put it, Ford won't do anything until the deaths out way the recall cost. It is up to people like you, to keep us safe, and make these car companies fix their problem vehicles before there are too many deaths. I am sure there has to of been an accident caused by this problem, very possibly 1 or more deaths, I know of one person with this problem on the website caused a 3 car accident. I called the dealer, they want to come to my home and drive it to the dealership, I said I would have it towed in, but they want to drive it, which makes me uncomfortable, since I am liable for what happens with my truck. There has been no modifications done to this vehicle, and the tires are the appropriate tires and they are filled with the proper air pressure.

F-450

  • 209,000 miles
I have a 2000 model Ford F-150. My cruise control went out and maybe a month or less later I came home one night and about 30 minutes after I went into the house I heard a loud bang. When we looked out the door my truck was a ball of flames. The loud bang I had heard was the tire popping. I never received a recall notice for the cruise control switch and knew nothing about it shortly after I got the truck I had it at the dealership and they told me nothing about this recall when I asked if the truck had any. All I was told is that there was one on the parking brake.
