Nine problems related to engine have been reported for the 1999 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 1999 Ford F-350 with the v-10 engine and only 60,000 miles. Coming back from denver - not hauling anything - the engine blew out a spark plug. This is a know defect and well documented on Ford problems. Com. Given the number of occurrences that this has happened, and the possible safety issues with a blown out plug I respectively request that this be considered as a recall matter on all such equipped vehicles.
The contact owns a 1999 Ford F-350 sd. In March of 2009, a spark plug blew out of the coil pack hole. The contact had the spark plug replaced; however, the failure recurred on July 23, 2009. The contact is unsure if he will have the vehicle repaired again due to the safety defect. Both failures occurred without warning. The vehicle is unable to be driven. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 102,000.
Ford spark plug ejection - dp05-005.
Ford f350 v10, multiple spark plug ejections from cylinder heads. Has happened many times, reinserted plugs per "fords" recommendation, as if I was unable to properly torque plugs. Now I am left with my families truck, stripped heads and no money to fix it.
Driving along and engine suddenly and completely died with no warning. Truck had to be towed. Problem was the camshaft position sensor. Replacing this part with a new one has solved the problem so far. I have the old part.
Spark plug shot out of engine - stripped threads.
3 car pile up. Our truck was the 3rd vehicle. Impact speed 35 to 45 mph. We have a 1 ton truck that had the frame bent and motor mount that broke. Repair damage est. To be $9,000. The air bags did not deploy.
Driving to local fishing spot on a spring day when a loud pop from under the hood followed by more consistent pops, noise, and poor running condition. I pulled over and checked under the hood only to find the coil precariously propped up and out of it's seat. Removing the coil was astonished to see that the plug was still in the coil. The plug had been ejected crushing the coil and fuel rail. I called the local wrecker for a tow (must be flatbed due to size of truck) to the dealer. Dealer denied any knowledge of problem and was promptly told it would be several thousand dollars to repair and many many days out of service. I had truck towed to my home and proceeded to fix it myself.
The vehicle surged foward while in drive. When the brake was pressed slightly the engine revved extremely high. Consumer had to put gear in reverse then neutral to stop engine from racing.
