This vehicle has a severe lack of acceration between 3500 and 4500 rpms. I tow a 30' 5th wheel trailer and when attempting to pass another vehicle or anytime I loose power because of a hill I will step on the gas pedal for passing gear. The truck will begin to increase in speed until it gets to 3500 rpms and then looses power at once. This continues until 4500 rpms and then it seems to go into another phase and acts like it should have before by a great increase in power. I have had this to the dealer 4 times about this problem and although they admit its a problem they haven't been able to fix it. Today after the 4th try I was told that they drove a new 2000 f250 with a v10 motor and it did the same thing. Because of that they told me that it was not correctable because it is a problem that is common with this motor. Hogwash! I told them that 2 problems don't make a cure but I was informed that there was nothing more to do. This is a saftey issue because I am sure that I have caused a lot of problems behind me when I have attempted to pas or increase speed on a hill and because of this losse of power have impeaded traffic and cause uncalled for congestion. My call to Ford's cutomer service line wasn't any better that my conversation with preston Ford's service people. A lot of double talk that meant that they didn't know what to do so they punted. I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you, robert w. Chalmers.
The tires are dry rotting with32000miles the dome light stays on had to pull the bulb. The door lock nob on inside of door broke, the brake pad rubber on the pedal I had to replace the new one was worn out the brake pads on the front started squeaking at about 22000 miles the motor uses about one half quart of oil at each oil change and I take it to the dealer( dot number: ? tire size: lt235/85r1 ).
Due defective brake lines, which dealer replaced twice, steering wheel shakes vigorously. This may cause driver to lose control and could result in a crash. Also problems with the transmission and engine. Please provide further information.
Horn experiencing intermittent problem with operating in normal weather conditions, and not operating at all in cold weather conditions. Also, excessive oils useages, missing a quart within every thousand miles. Dealer notified, and informed consume rthat horn problem could not not be corrected, and oils useages was normal for that vehicle.
While driving under wet or snowy road conditions the engine goes idle once taking foot off the gas pedal. Comsumer also stated that has loss of control of the vehicle once trying and putting on the brakes. Consumer contacted the dealer and was told that's how the engine was built into the fuel computer.

The truck was parked for 10+ days without being started. The truck caught fire in the engine compartment and was so severe that the inspectors could not determine the cause. There was no other ignition source anywhere around the vehicle.
