| 1999 ford f250 super duty diesel pickup (63k miles), truck would start with no dash cluster gauges or lights and no throttle response. i had the truck diagnosed at a local shop and scan tool indicated throttle control module which was replaced and still same problem persists. had truck towed to local ford dealership and diagnosed as a fuse panel problem and ford highly recommends replacement of fuse panel due to a high risk of fire. i have spoken to several ford technicians and tell me this is common with the early ford super duties.*ak | |||

| The dealership claims that ford has been experiencing problems with spark plugs just blowing out of the heads in newer ford vehicles. this causes the coil on top of the spark to shatter against the hood of the vehicle and the injectors continue to pump fuel into the cylinder. the coil is producing random sparking to any ground it can find. if a person didn't stop immediately, this condition might likely cause an engine fire.*ak | |||

| This has happened at least 3 times since i have owned this truck. traveling down the interstate the engine for no reason and with out any warning just shut down leaving me with no braking power or any steering. this in turn almost caused a wreck involving several automobiles. from there i had it towed into my shop where they had determined that my cps had gone out. they replaced the item and everything was fine thus far. this was the first time for me this happened and there where two more times this occurred. i did not keep any of the old parts. also on this complaint form there was no choice for international (ihc) so the equipment page is messed up. *nm | |||
