2004 f350 fx4 ext cab 6.0 diesel torque shift speeds up while driving and at stop lights on its own. (once while backing) my dad will not ride in it any more and claims I am crazy for driving it.*ak harsh trans lock up at 45 after auto trans was dropped and updated with planetary bulletin at dealer. The trans deal I will continue fighting, but the mind of its own in acceleration is dangerous. Am currently packing a dealer computer with a panic button but have not caught the gremlin yet as it will go for a while in between uproars. I feel jilted being a test rat after buying a vehicle with a $46,000.00 sticker price. And then there is safety. Will take the truck back tomorrow and tell the associate to pull the computer and wires and the next time he sees me will be with the truck on a hook or me alone with a lawyer after an accident. I know their trying, but the lack of trouble codes as well as the inability to repair the vehicle without them could be the end of someone?s life and or the destruction of property. (time at dealer so far aprox 2.5 weeks off and on)
2004 Ford F-350 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle stopped and would not shift into drive. Vehicle was towed. The planet gear was defective.
When truck was put in gear, the transmission would not go in gear. Also, when driving, I let off of the gas pedal, truck would stall, and then engage and then lurch forward, in traffic. Also, same problem in reverse.
On two separate occasions vehicle stalled. The first time it was at 5 MPH, and the second time it was at 35 MPH. Vehicle was taken to the dealer on both occasions, and they were not able to resolve/ duplicate this problem.*ak....vehicle speeds up on its own and misses out running down the road at 60 MPH. Rpms around 1500 rpms .reprogrammed PCM and TCM to latest calibration.
While driving at 55 MPH,my new 2004 f350 6.0 super duty diesel transmission locked uo,. Causing the vehicle to skid out of control at a intersection.had vehicle towed to dealership where a new transmission was installed .two mouths later, vehicle started stalling while at idle and while driving, causing loss of steering and brakes.vehicle again taking to dealer were new codes from ford where put in computer. This did not correct the problem. Returned vehicle to dealer again mechanic not available. Vehicle returned with no diagnostics. Then three days later vehicle back at dealership for another transmission. With only 12,000 miles on vehicle. I fear for the safety of family and others while driving this vehicle.
There is a loud "clunk" from underneath the vehicle when taking off after putting the transmission in drive. The "clunk" happens about 5 to 10 feet after you begin moving forward and sometimes also when the vehicle shifts from 1st to 2nd gear and 2nd to 3rd gear. *akthe "clunk" can not only be heard but also felt in the floorboards of the vehicle. Sounds as if something in the transmission as let go.
While driving up a hill there was erratic behavior in the transmission that caused inconsistency in the shifting. As a result, vehicle stalled in the middle of an intersection , and steering failed.
Vehicle was purchased for pulling a horse trailer. Transmission and engine locked at 600 miles. Driver stated there was a real bad jerk. Currently, when driving vehicle was constantly bucking. *ak vehicle was jerking while cruise control is either on or off, and when pulling trailer on any speed. Dealer performed diagnosis, nothing was found. Dealer also replaced icp, and ap switch to repair transmission lock-up.
