Four problems related to frame and members have been reported for the 1997 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Left front crossmember developed a crack near the steering box car had clonk in front end dealer inspected and found crack - told by Ford dealer that the procedure was to weld the crossmember back in place and they would warranty it for 12 mths/12000 miles (only). Vehicle is still under factory warranty (bumper to bumper) 36000 miles. Ford motor company told us to follow dealer's advice. . Work done was shoddy. . . And to my knowledge welding weakens the frame. . . Welder also made burn marks in cross member thus weakening metal more. Frame should last the life of the vehicle and not crack already. . Or be warrantied for 12 months. . . Need advice. . . Feel vehicle is unsafe. . . Have taken pictures of horrid welding job.
While driving 35 mph the a frame broke, and the vehicle had no steering.
The vehicle veers towards the right when it's in operation. The manufacturer has been contacted. Also, replaced front left hub cap, and twist in frame.
Unable to get recall work performed on the rear cradle bolts due to dealer problem.
