Five problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 2003 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The wires for the camshaft position sensor are failing just like they have in others models of the f series and cause the truck to suddenly die while driving. There was already a recall in place but it doesn't cover this VIN and so I would like to request the recall be extended to this trucks VIN.
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. Separate 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.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) I own a 2003 Ford F-350 truck. The motor would surge when driving down the road causing the truck to travel at a high rate of speed (braking would slow it down). Other times while sitting at a lights or stop signs the motor would surge pushing the truck forward (it was hard to hold in place using brakes). I took the truck to Ford and they said sensors had to be replaced. The serial number is [xxx] . The surging accured approx. 15 times within 5 days.
While driving 30 mph vehicle stalled without warning. This caused loss of steering and brakes. Dealer replaced computer and a couple of sensors, however, problem still recurred.
2003 f350 6. 0l diesel - sudden loss of power. Display lights come on but won't start, does not crank over at all. Has happened three times. Only have 5124 miles on it. First breakdown happened at 900 miles, sitting still. 2nd breakdown happened at low speed. Third breakdown happened today 10/12/03 at 75 mph. Stuck in high speed traffic with family waiting for tow. Given different reason at each repair by different dealerships. Each dealership said Ford is aware of the problem but can't find a fix. This is the first year that these 6. 0 liter engines came out. Multiple complaints for same problem listed on "thedieselstop. Com" web site. Many people are stuck with these unsafe vehicles. Ford is aware of this problem but has not recalled these trucks, maybe you can force them to do something.
