Engine Belts And Pulleys Problems of Ford F-250

The inner core of the ignition switch is bad which when moved up or down by movement of the truck going down the road causes the dash lights ,gps, radio and any other electrical part to stop working , also if you have a memory adjust seat it will start going forward and back sporadically which in turn tightens up the seat belt to extreme pressure , which is very distracting to the driver , which in turn could cause an accident . Discussed this with Ford and the response was it was not broken so they were not going to fix it. Someone has to be killed before they do anything for a $2. 00 item or the electrical system has to catch on fire before they will do anything . Some one needs to force them into fixing there products.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford F-250. The contact stated that two of the bolts that hold the pulley on the engine broke off and the two other bolts were loose. The failure caused the front engine cover to break and when the engine became warm it shut down. The dealer stated that this had been a problem and that they would have to rebuild it piece by piece because the part was on national back order. The failure mileage and current mileages were 86000.

The contact owns a 1999 Ford f250. When the contact took his vehicle to the dealer to have it serviced for a recall regarding the motor, he was informed that the serpentine belt needed to be replaced. The belt was replaced on February 1, 2008. On February 25, 2008, while driving 55 mph, the battery light illuminated and the power steering and brakes malfunctioned. It was discovered that portions of the new serpentine belt shredded off. A new belt was purchased and placed on the vehicle and there were no further occurrences.

I have a 2005 Ford F-250 super duty which I bought in July of 2005 (own it for 27 months) brand new. Recently (3 months ago) the check engine light came on and I took it to the dealer and they said that they could not find anything wrong and that they reset the computer. At that time my vehicle was under warranty. My check engine light came on again last week and once again I took it in to the dealership. Now the vehicle has 40000 mile and it is past the warranty period (36000). They are now telling me that the engine needs major repair and that it will need $2600 dollars worth of repair and it could be more once they take the engine apart. I called Ford customer service to file a complaint since the truck is only two years old and I don't use it for any commercial business. I only use my truck for yard work and a means of transportation. They said that what I need to do is have the dealership take the engine apart (which I would have to pay for) and then they would decide if they could do anything. I said what if the dealership tells me that the truck needs $5000 worth of work who would be responsible for that. They told me that it could be because I did not change the engine oil and they would not cover it in that case. I then told them that some of the things that they want to replace is the alternator, timing belt and timing chain. What does all this have to do with the oil changes. They told me that the only solution is to have the dealer take apart the engine and they would see from there.

While driving 70 mph, without warning the vehicle stalled. The driver tried to restart the vehicle but was unsuccessful. The driver was able to coast the vehicle to side of the road. The driver had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic replaced the pulley belt because it had worn. Please fill in additional information.

While driving, the vehicle lost steering and braking power. The assembly that tightened the belt drive around the steel shaft about one inch in diameter had broken off at the time where the truck had no brakes or steering.

I was driving home on the interstate when traffic stopped ahead of me. It was raining pretty hard and I was not able to stop and I hit a minivan that was in front of me. (there were 40 - 50 other vehicles involved in this incident, but my piece of the greater wreck only involved myself and the minivan. ) I do not know how fast I was going when I made contact, but it was fast enough to cause $16,000 of damage to the front end of my truck. The impact mostly went above the bumper, pushing the grill into the front of the engine causing everyhing in front of the engine to be replaced along with replacement of the motor and transmission mounts. Neither the driver or passanger airbag deployed. I was wearing my seatbelt, so I was not at all injured, but I was very surprised that a significant inpact like I experienced did not set off the airbag. Are there any general guidelines for when the airbags should deploy?.

Idler pulley came off of the motor, causing serpentine belt, power steering, power brakes, and vacuum pump to fail.

Engine pulley was coming off the crankshaft due to sheared off bolts. Dealer notified, and repairs made at consumer's cost. The crankshaft pulley failed because it is defective.

When driving through a small snow drift, on an isolated country road, snow dislodged the serpentine belt, thus disconnecting power steering, power brakes, the cooling system and discharging the battery. Luckily a passing snow plow operator assisted us or this could have had more tragic results. We have asked Ford engineers to assist with a solution. Skid plates are not made for this vehicle nor can they apparently be manufactured because of the nature of the suspension system. While our local dealer is helping to problem solve, we continue to have no reply nor interest from Ford, who claims that any sollution would be considered an accessory or improvement rather than a repair. We feel that since this vehicle is advertised as a rugged off-road four-wheel drive vehicle that is depicted blasting through deep snow drifts on commercials, it probably shouldn't break down and strand passengers when the truck is confronted with normal winter driving conditions. Further, it shouldn't leave the passengers stranded without power,engine cooling, power steering and brakes.

Bolt that holds the power steering snapped in half. After snapping in half, vibrated out towards power steering pump pulley, causing the pulley to lock up, and breaking the power steering pump bracket. Thi s caused the main drive belt to come off, leaving consumer without brakes or steering.

Bushing on belt tensioner on 7. 3 liter diesel engine fails - known defect by Ford personell.

Serpentine belt tensioner failure due to prematurely worn bushing. Problem is well known among dealership mechanics. This part controls the tension on the single serpentine belt which operates the power steering pump (may result in loss of ability to steer upon failure), the ac compressor, the water pump (may cause vehicle to overheat upon failure) and the alternator for the vehicle's electrical system.

Front end misalignment causing vehicle to vibrate and premature wear of tires. In addition, belt tensioner roller makes noise when vehicle is started, and popping noise from cab when driving over uneven surfaces due to cab mounting bolts to frame being loose.
