| Ford f350 equipped with 6.0l diesel engine experienced stalling without warning while driving and/or while applying brakes. this looks to be the same issue that affected vehicles in the 2004-2005 recall. icp sensor light is lit and most likely will need to be replaced. seperate or related issue? : engine will rev-up while driving and produce acceleration without gas pedal being applied. engine will rev-up and/or idle high while in park and when stopped/brakes applied. | |||

| My 2003 ford f-350 super duty truck speedometer and odometer quick working and required replacement of the entire instrument panel. it took months to get a replacement unit from ford because (according to the dealer) the units were so back-ordered due to the high rate of failure of this particular assembly. i had to pay for the replacement unit. during the months i drove without a speedometer and odometer, there was no way to determine how fast i was driving nor any accurate means of keeping track of the actual mileage of the vehicle. the dealer kept the faulty unit. a vehicle without a speedometer should be outlawed. a vehicle without any method of determining the actual mileage by which to monitor epa compliance should also be outlawed. according to the dealer, many ford trucks have this same problem and this was not an isolated incident. *nm | |||
