MY F-250 HAS HAD EVERY BRAKE CALIPER LOCK UP AND CAUSE TOTAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE AND REPAIR. STARTING AT 40K MILES IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE DESIGN IF EVERY CALIPER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. MY SHOP DID A REPAIR HISTORY SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2009S HAD A HIGHER FAILURE RATE THAN OTHER YEARS. I ALSO HAD THE MANIFOLD WARP AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT JUST 40K MILES. THANKS - DAN

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, BALL JOINT, BUSHING, AND THE STEERING DAMPER. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

WE OWN A 2009 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 4X4, WITH LOW MILES (21478). THIS VEHICLE HAS RUN GREAT SINCE WE PURCHASED IT NEW. AS WE WERE DRIVING, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN POORLY AND LOOSE POWER. THE ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON. THE MECHANIC SCANNER THE ENGINE CODES P0012-P0018-P0022-P0341-P052D, INDICATING FAULTY CAM PHASERS AND TENSIONERS, AND THAT THE ENGINE WAS OUT OF TIME. THIS PICKUP HAS LOW MILEAGE AND ALL THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN DONE. THE FORD PARTS DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THEY KEEP THESE PARTS STOCKED BECAUSE IT IS A COMMON REPAIR ISSUE. *TR

HIT A SMALL BUMP AND TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY. SHAKING DOES NOT STOP UNTIL VEHICLE IS SLOWED DOWN OR COMPLETELY STOPPED. IT HAS HAPPENED 14 TIMES AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 40 MPH TO 75 MPH. ALIGNMENT IS FINE, TIRES BALANCED AND AT 50% LIFE, NEW SHOCKS, NEW STEERING DAMPER AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS SHOW NO SIGN OF WEAR. DESPITE THIS, PROBLEM PERSISTS AND IS ACTUALLY BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. *TR
