Consumer Description

I JUST ENTERED A SAFETY COMPLAINT REGARDING BRAKE ROTORS RUSTING (( 10328142 ) ON MY 2003 FORD F250 7.3 L DIESEL. THIS COMPLAINT REGARDS RUSTING OUT RADIATOR HOSE BRACKETS. ON JULY 6 TH 2007 A RADIATOR HOSE CLAMP RUSTED OUT , AND I RAPIDLY LOST COOLING, WHILE ON INTERSTATE 68 IN MD TRAVELING AT 65 MPH TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND TRAILER SAFELY BUT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THIS WAS ON A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK.( JUST RECENTLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ROTOR PROBLEM A WIRING CLAMP RUSTED OUT UNDER THE BODY LEAVING LOOSE DANGLING WIRES. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS A SINGLE RUSTING ISSUE. NOW THAT I AM EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE FAILURES I KNOW THE PROBLEMS ARE MORE EXTENSIVE. *TR
