MY 2002 F250 SUPERDUTY WITH 7.3L DIESEL WILL NOT TURN AT PARKING SPEEDS AND HIGHER SPEEDS IF APPLYING THE BRAKE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY ALL SAY IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 7.3L POWERED SUPERDUTY TRUCKS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND DO NOT WANT TO BE PUT INTO A POSITION WHERE I MAY HURT SOMEBODY DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGNED STEERING SYSTEM. INCREASING RPM DOES NOT HELP. MY TALKING TO EXPERTS HAS FOUND THE GENERAL CONSENSUS TO BE THAT THE HYDRO BOOST PUMP DOES NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH VOLUME AND WAS A POOR DESIGN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. MY RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE ALSO FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED EARLY ON AND BECAUSE THE

TRAVELING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH; THE SPARK PLUG ON MY 5.4L V8 TRITON BLEW OUT OF ITS SOCKET. (ANY MECHANIC WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS) THIS CAUSED AN IMMEDIATE BANG AND VERY ROUGH RUNNING CONDITION. AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED; THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER WHICH IN TURN; CAUSED A RAPID REDUCTION IN VEHICLE SPEED. NOT TO MENTION, THE DISTRACTION THAT OCCURRED THAT CAUSED THE LACK OF FOCUS ON SURROUNDING VEHICLES AND OTHER POSSIBLE HAZARDS. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF A SEPARATE SPARK PLUG BLOWING OUT OF ITS SOCKET ON THE SAME MOTOR. THIS WILL COST SEVERAL THOUSAND IN REPAIRS AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE. ON TOP OF THE MONEY SPENT REPAIRING THE L

THIS ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS REPLACED BY FORD IN A FACTORY RECALL ON APRIL 2011. AT THE TIME THE ORIGINAL PEDAL WORKED FINE BUT IT WAS CHANGED OUR ANYWAY. THE REPLACEMENT PEDAL FAILED ON 12/15/14. DURING FAILURE, THE VEHICLE ENGINE COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND GOES BACK TO IDLE. DURING CERTAIN MANEUVERS THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, SUCH AS ACCELERATING TO MERGE ON THE FREEWAY OR PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ OF MANY INSTANCES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER FORD OWNERS. FORD NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A REPLACEMENT THAT IS RELIABLE AS THIS IS A KEY COMPONENT TO SAFE VEHICULAR TRAVEL. *TR
