1.) we were driving in the pet smart parking lot and the vehicle lurched forward on it"s own and almost ran over a lady and her little dog! I had to slam on the brakes and shut it off! 2.) vehicle will stall and accelerate without warning. Very scary and dangerous!! 3.) three trips to the dealer and it still has not been repaired.
2004 Ford F-250 SD acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2004 ford f250 super duty diesel at 11:30 pm had un intended acceleration while traveling in the fog. The vehicle simply took off wide open while in a curve without my foot on the gas pedal at all. This is second instance of this happening. Steve marsh ford dealership was aware of the turbo revving up and had worked on this multiple times prior to the unintended acceleration. I notified my insurance carrier farm bureau agent mark milam 731‑855‑2591 the next morning.
2004 ford f250 diesel truck does not have power to accelerate in the mornings. I can not pull out into traffic with any confidence that you will not be hit. The truck has been taken several times to ford dealerships and they say that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. The vehicle has many other problems but if the computer can't find them, they do not exist and they will not fix it. I.e. Turbo being blown, fuel mileage becoming less and less etc.
Dt: contact states vehicle surged and jumped about 2 feet into the street when foot was not on the accelerator. Vehicle had surged before, but not as bad as this time. The service dealer couldn't find what iwaswrong with the vehicle. The service dealer replaced 5 or 6 modules trying to find out what was wrong with the vehicle.
Dt; ever since consumer bought ford f250 it jerks or bucks forward when at a stop or driving slow. Dealer basically say if they can't duplicate the problem it is hard for them to fix it. This happens intermittently. It may do this and stop then it will begin again. The most recent episode was last week. Consumer called service dept as it was happening, and was told to bring the vehicle in and they would take care of it. Actually had to put in neutral for safety because it does this as if the vehicle were stalling and lurches forward even with foot on brake.
The vehicle stalled at various speeds of 0-15 MPH. This condition occurred during stopping or making turns. The vehicle has been to the dealer on four separate occasions. On each occasion the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem. Also, intermittently the vehicle commenced to lurch forward at high speed while the brakes were being applied. The dealer was unable to duplicate this issue as well.
Vehicle had no throttle response and the RPM's dropped down to 0. Vehicle just quit, lost power for about 30 seconds. This happened repeatedly at various speeds. *ak the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer replaced several components but the problem recurred.
