11.2% of complaints about the 1999 Ford F Super Duty came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 1999 vehicle — around the middle of the 201 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 2.7 yr in service. The most-reported system is service brakes, hydraulic (22 complaints), typically at 2.4 yr or about 71,000 miles.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SUPER DUTY TRUCKS AND CHASSIS-CABS EQUIPPED WITH 5.4L MANUAL TRANSMISSION POWERTRAINS. THE ACCELERATOR CABLE CORE WIRE CAN WEAR THE CABLE CONDUIT END FITTING DUE TO A FIFTEEN DEGREE ANGLE IT MAKES WITH THE CONDUIT AT THE THROTTLE BODY END. THIS COULD ALSO LEAD TO WEAR OR SEPARATION OF STRANDS OF THE CORE WIRE, WHICH COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION.
A "STUCK" THROTTLE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOME CHASSIS. THE ACCELERATOR CABLE IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO FREEZING. WATER CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE END FITTING AND CAN FREEZE AT TEMPERATURES OF 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND BELOW. THE ICE COULD PREVENT THE ACCELERATOR FROM RETURNING TO IDLE.
INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE WOULD BE REQUIRED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

THIS TRUCK IS USED FOR LIGHT HAULING (PERSONAL) OF MY LAWN MOWER AND SNOW PLOWING MY RESIDENCE. CONTINUOUS/EXCESSIVE BRAKING WAS NOT APPLIED, THEREFORE NO REASON FOR BRAKE ROTORS TO BE WARPED AT 26K MILES (EXCEPT A DESIGN DEFICIENCY). THE DEALER IS SAYING THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME. WITH THIS KIND OF ATTITUDE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A REPEAT OF THE SAME DEFICIENCY IN ANOTHER 26K MILES (OUT OF WARRANTY). THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE DEALER IS WANTING TO PASS THE BUCK AND BLAME THE CUSTOMER. *AK
UNDER NORMAL BRAKING, TRUCK SUDDENLY AND SHARPLY PULLS LEFT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *AK
UNABLE TO STEER VEHICLE WITH BRAKES APPLIED. STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT MOVE WITH BRAKES APPLIED. CAN NOT TURN WHEELS WITH BRAKE APPLIED WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. UNABLE TO PARALLEL PARK. *AK
