What 1999 Ford F-350 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
1) cruise control would not always set & when I touched the brake it would not always stop.
The left rear wheel separated from the vehicle, which caused the vehicle jerk foward. *jb the consumer requested an 03 vehicle or reimbursement for the incidental expenses. After the purchase of the vehicle, the manual, lockable hub(s) began to fail. The dealer convinced the consumer(s) to purchase 8 ply tires, but this didn't reduce the noise or hub problems, the consumer also experienced acceleration problem's. The dealer couldn't find the problem. The engine idled rough and the engine light had come on. A bad cam sensor was found, and a sound had come from the fuel pump. An adapter to the metal plate was built in, extending from the underdash, to the firewall, to provide a better ground system. Scc
The vehicle surged foward while in drive. When the brake was pressed slightly the engine revved extremely high. Consumer had to put gear in reverse then neutral to stop engine from racing.
Consumer applied brake at 65 MPH/cruise was set/ vehicle did not slow down, engine kept revving, consumer had to manually turn off cruise control to slow down vehicle.
Ford can't fix the problem 31/2 years. The rear end is taking a beating w/ gear slack.the bucking action is violent in the cruse control. Delers say it cant be fixed.
The processor that controls emissions on a 6.0 l v-10 with a 5 speed manual transmission in california is the same processor as for an automatic transmission. The use of this processor causes the engine to surge or not reduce speed when the accelerator is released. When using the engine compression to slow down, the engine will surge and caude the vehicle to speed-up. The vehicle is stressful to drive in close traffic or in congested parking lots. Ford was made aware of this problem approxiamently 2 weeks after the vehicle was purchased. Ford has yet to fix the problem. The vehicle has been seen by numerious ford dealers in several states including california.
Dealer states that the repair part for this recall is on a six month back order.
A fews days after purchase the ABS light has been continually on, unable to determine problem. Mjs
