One problem related to brake pedal and linkage has been reported for the 2002 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Prior to the accident we had the telescoping brake and gas pedal replaced for a defect. (it didn't work) on September 9th 2005 at approx 12:00pm our Ford excursion suddenly accelerated, which resulted in loss of control of the vehicle at speeds in excess of 80 mph. Avoided roll over and hitting other vehicles. Spun out 2 times before crashing into a fence @ mcas (marine corps air station) yuma arizona. Was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Highway patrol. Accident investigator and yuma police have pictures and reports of the acceleration pedal still mashed into the SUV's floor-board still open at full throttle with engine off. The accident report states mechanical defect of acceleration pedal. The tires and under chassis caught were on fire when vehicle came to a crash stop or it could have been a fire prior the investigator wasn't sure. When the vehicle was put in park the tires were still spinning out as if the SUV was in a drive gear. Although I suffered minor injured pulled neck and back muscles and broken elbow (radial neck fracture). I could have been killed or seriously injured or killed another human due to this defect. Completely terrified to ever drive again.
