What 1999 Ford F Series (Heavy) owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Truck engine started to cut out. Occurs every few hundred miles, requires part replacement. The cam position sensor is the part that continues to fail. Replacement fixes it.
Front end shakes violently when encountering successive dips or potholes at speeds between 40 and 60 . Replaced tires,shocks, tie rod ends, steering box, and linkage. Constantly verifying tire pressure, when this occurs daily I must slow to a crawl or shake the steering wheel from ten to two to make it quit. Cant afford to replace anything else that doesn't seem to work total thus far is in the 900's.
My truck started making a noise and slowly got worse over about 6000 miles. I brought it into ford and the said it was pistion slap or a bad bearing. They tolsd me it wouldnt affect the performance or the truck and it is a fairly common problem. So I told them I wanted to trade it in and they said they didnt want it because it was making noise. Help!!!
Transmission failure with low mileage.
