Tl- the contact owns a 1999 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the dealer for routine maintenance, the mechanic indicated that the rear axle was faulty and would need to be replaced. Although the vehicle had not experienced any failures, the rear axle was replaced. The contact indicated that approximately 30,000 miles later the mechanic indicated that the rear axle was faulty again and the axle was replaced a second time. After having the axle replaced the contact was driving approximately 65 mph when he was unable to shift to the 6th gear. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 363,000.

While pulling a trailer in 4 wheel drive (because of ground conditions) the front pinion shaft snapped. During research for repair part most people associated with the needed repair were aware that the problem existed. I was even told by a dana employee that the pinions were not heat treated properly.
The vehicles gear shift broke off the transmission.
Defective transmission in 1999 f350 series trucks. The consumer replaced the first transmission while the vehicle was still under warranty, at the time, Ford installed a re-manufactured transmission per company policy. For that transmission the consumer purchased an extended warranty. Almost one year later a second transmission was placed in the vehicle. Another Ford dealer in iowa stated that the re-manufactured transmission was defective from the start and that a part of it was egging when it should have been round. The power steering pump had to be replaced within the first 2k miles. The consumer requested that Ford should cover the cost spent on the repair(s).
The u-bolts failed, and the axel dropped down. We heard a "thud" , and felt a dropping sensation. The steering immediatley became inoperable, and the truck crashed into several bales of hay. The driver's side door was damaged. When I contacted parker Toyota, they claimed my extended warranty did not cover the axel. I then paid for the repairs out of pocket. Later the same day, I pulled a VIN history on the vehicle, and found that the odometer had been rolled back. When we purchased the truck, we were told that it was a trade in from a guy that bought it at parker Ford, and traded it in to parker Toyota. The true story (verifed by Ford motors), was that the truck came out of terrace, bc. It went to auction in may 2000, where the odometer was converted from km to us miles. They have records that it went in to the odometer shop with 68,000 km, and came out with 33,100 us miles. This is a mistake of nearly 10,000 miles. Parker Toyota admits that they are at fault for the odometer fraud, but refuses to do anything about it. We are filing suit against parker Toyota for fraud.
