The contact owns a 1999 Ford F-250. The contact stated that the lockout hub was broken and it caused the 4 wheel drive to disengage. The lockout hubs were replaced four times. The manufacturer stated that there was nothing that they could do since the warranty expired. The contact would like for the manufacturer to assume the repair cost since an authorized mechanic confirmed that this failure is common for his year, make and model vehicle. The failure mileage was 30,000.
Driving down a dry road with the 4 -wheel drive and upon making a sharp left or right turn the front wheel hubs will lock up. Contacted dealer claims this is ormal.
Front hub would not hold vacuum causing 4 wheel drive not to engage even though the 4 wheel drive light is illuminated. This caused the truck to loose control and hit a tree. Nlm.
