Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ford f-350. while driving over a bump in the road, the vehicle shook, bounced, and made a squeaking noise. the contact called schultz ford lincoln (located at 80 nu-304, nanuet, ny 10954, (877) 724-8589) and was informed to contact the manufacturer to see if the vehicle was covered under warranty or recalls. in addition, when the contact check under the vehicle, he noticed that the rubber bushing disintegrated from the cab and chassis. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the contact was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty and there were no recalls associated with the vin. the approximate failure mileage was 48,000.

Bed rails are rotting prematurely causing safety concern when truck is towing or there is weight in the bed of the truck i feel that this may cause a safety issue for passengers in the truck as well as other motorist on the roadway. fifth wheel hitch connection shift because of rotted rail causing jam in hitch creating travel hazard

The moon roof track on my ford f-350 (2008) failed after about 5 years. i had it replaced at jim click ford in tucson at the beginning of 2013 at a cost of $2400.00. at the beginning of 2015 it failed again. neither the dealer nor ford have an answer for the failure(s) and both said i need to do the repair again at my expense. i feel that the moon roof apparatus should be sturdy enough to last the lifespan of the vehicle. my contention is that this issue is a defect and could be a safety issue is the moon roof is blown off or cannot be sealed. from the beginning with this truck when i would drive it forward in high winds the moon roof would lift and chatter. the frame is plastic and not very sturdy. i'm sure ford uses this same plastic frame on many of their vehicles and i think that researching repair records of those vehicles using this frame might be of use in seeing if failures are frequent and a possible safety issue. *js

June 25, 2007, we were in montana and had just come down from approx. 14,000 ft. pass, closed sun roof on our 2008 ford f350 crewcab diesel, all 4 occupants (3 adults & 1 child) fell asleep @ 2:00 pm in the afternoon. passenger woke as we were going off the pavement, tried to put truck back on pavement but front of truck would not get under control, hit mail boxes and veered to left (still unable to control) not speeding, hit head on into trees, rolled to roof. air bags did not deploy on either side, driver side (front and back) roof crushed to top and into front drivers seat and almost to frame of window in the back seat. why or what caused us all to fall asleep after closing sun roof, why were we not able to control front of truck (too heavy?), why did air bags not deploy and why did roof crush so far on a roll to roof, we did not roll completely over. truck was totaled. no deaths occurred, driver resulted in a broken neck and passengers with rib and neck injuries. *tr
