Death wobble, you hit a small bump or uneven road at 20-75 mph and it shakes violently you have to slow down to 15mph to make it quit. The dealer could not duplicate and said it was tires out of balance, the next time it went in they said it was mud in the wheels. 2nd promblem is the upper oil pan started leaking at 80k , 3rd promblem the stainless steel braded line that goes from master cylinder to abs module ruptured and left me with no brakes . All of this over a course of about 89k miles.

The oil pans on most late model Ford 7. 3 liter power stroke diesels has a severe problem with the oil pans rusting through, causing massive oil leaks, possible fire hazards, and severe engine failure, if the problem is not caught in time. The cost to have this repaired is close to two thousand dollars, and this problem is extremely well documented among owners of vehicles equipped with this engine. Ford has done nothing to correct this problem, no recalls, no TSB's, nothing. A new oem oil pan from Ford is close to $400 dollars, an aftermarket close to $100. The way to rectify this problem is to remove the entire engine from the vehicle, a job requiring extensive training and skill, as well as extremely expensive equipment. (in order to do the job properly, and safely). It is the personal opinion of my personal ase certified automotive technician, as well as any person I have spoken with in regards to this matter that the only fair thing to do would be for Ford to acknowledge and correct this issue, at no cost to the vehicle owner.
The contact owns a 2008 Ford f350 super duty truck purchased new. He stated after having a regular oil change, he noticed a large oil spillage coming from under the vehicle. The dealer advised replacing the high pressure fuel pump. The repair caused the oil to leak worse. Within just under a year of the initial failure, the dealer replaced the high pressure fuel pump a second time. Several months later, the contact began to notice the oil leak again. The high pressure fuel pump was replaced a third time. He also stated the bulbs in the exterior lighting elements, including headlights, tail lights and turn signals continued to blow. The dealer could not identify the reason why they continued to fail. While at a stop, while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle would not shift into gears properly. The vehicle would stay in high gear and would not down shift properly. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. No further repairs were made to date. There were no recalls on his vehicle. The failure and current mileages were under 28,000.

I have a 2001 F-350 super duty with 58,000 miles. Approximately 3 weeks ago I noticed a 2-3 in oil leak under the truck. As I investigated the problem more it was noted the the oil was leaking down the back of the motor coming from the top of the motor. I traced the leak to the valley of the motor where I found a pooling of oil. I cleaned the oil up in order to try and trace where the leak was coming from. It was found to be pooling in a couple of places, around the h. P. O. P and the turbo pedistal, once the valley fills with oil it trickles down the back of the motor. Since the truck is still under it's 100,000 mile warranty I dropped the truck off January 9,2004 for an early am January 10,2004 appt. By 10am I received a phone call stating the truck was "fixed" and ready for pick-up. They said the problem was the o-rings in the h. P. O. P and they were replaced. When I picked the truck up the afternoon of the 10th and got it home I looked in the valley of the engine and found it was still full of oil. I then proceed to clean up the excess oil and see if it was leaking anymore. I'm not sure how the dealer was able to tell it wasn't leaking anymore when they left all of that oil sitting there, but I took there word. On January 11,2003 I drove the truck 35 miles and checked the top of the engine again, and low and behold there was oil pooling in the valley again. Since January 11,2003 was a Saturday I was only able to contact voicemail at the dealership. I am now awaiting a phone call Monday morning from the dealership as well as researching the magnuson-moss warranty act for my own protection. Ford is well aware of this problem and still chooses to do nothing about the problem. I am also well aware of many other people with the same problem and will encourage them to fill this complaint form out.
