2002 Ford Motor Home

The contact owns a 2002 Ford Stripped Chassis Motorhome. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The ABS warning light was illuminated intermittently. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V110000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics). The contact stated that the front passenger's side caliper was previously replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,629.  

ON A RECENT TRIP MY MOTORHOME EXPERIENCED A BRAKE ISSUE AND FELT LIKE ONE OR BOTH FRONT CALIPERS WERE STICKING/DRAGGING (AFTER 20-30 MINUTES OF DRIVING), HEATING THE FLUID AND BOILING IT BACK RESULTING IN LOSS OF PEDAL PRESSURE. AFTER COOLING BRAKES OPERATE NORMAL. UPON RESEARCH IT APPEARS THERE IS AN EXACT RECALL FOR THIS KNOW ISSUE ON THE DAMON CHALLENGER CHEVY WORKHORSE CHASSIS. I HAVE THE DAMON CHALLENGER FORD CHASSIS. THE RELATED RECALL IS: REPORT RECEIPT DATE: JUN 16, 2009 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V225000 COMPONENT(S): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC I HAVE RAN MY VIN AND AM CONTACTING FORD, HOWEVER, I FEEL THE FORD CHASSIS MODELS SHOULD BE AT LEAST REVIEWED TO DETERMINE IF IT IS RELATED AS THEY MAY VERY WELL BE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 FORD MOTOR HOME. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V336000 (VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE DEACTIVATION SWITCH WAS DISCONNECTED WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION. THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE ENGINE SIZE AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 03/13/08. *LJ

HAVE RECEIVED TWO RECALL NOTICES FROM FORD MOTOR CO. TO HAVE THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (SCDS) REPLACED. THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY MOTOR HOME WAS DISCONNECTED IN RESPONSE TO THE FIRST RECALL NOTICE. AS OF THIS DATE THEY STILL CLAIM NO REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I AM TRAVELING ACROSS COUNTRY. IF THEY ARE PRODUCING THIS PART ON A DAILY BASIS, WHY CAN'T THE LOCAL DEALER (COURTESY FORD - SANFORD, FL NEAR WHERE I AM CURRENTLY PARKED) RECEIVE ONE TO INSTALL BEFORE MY NEXT LEG OF THE TRIP?? IT HAS BEEN OVER ONE MONTH SINCE IT WAS DISCONNECTED BY THIS DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 FORD MOTOR HOME. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SMOKING. THE VEHICLE ERUPTED INTO A SELF-CONTAINED FIRE, WHICH EXTINGUISHED ITSELF OUT. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS REPLACED BY THE FORD DEALER AND THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. HE STATED THAT FORD IS GIVING HIM THE RUN AROUND. THE PURCHASE DATE, POWERTRAIN, AND DEALER INFORMATION WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I OWN A 2002 HURRICANE RV WITH 29,000 MILES AND A FORD V10MOTOR. THE ENGINE LOCKED UP WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. LANDERS FORD IN LITTLE ROCK SAYS THAT IT NEEDS A NEW MOTOR BUT THEY ARE HAVING MY WARRANTY (3 YEARS 36,000 MILES) DENIED BECAUSE MY OIL IS DIRTY. IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE MAY 30. NOTHING HAS BEEN SONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.*AK
