“1999 Ford f-350. Parked in driveway. Fire in the engine compartment. Source appears to be just behind the air filter box in the area of the master cylinder. Most of the electrical harness destroyed. Driver side battery melted down. Denver fire had to respond to put out the fire. I was never notified of a recall and this vehicle has been serviced at least twice by the local Ford dealership.”
NHTSA complaint #10174140, filed 2006-11, 113,500 miles“The contact owns a 1999 Ford f-350 super duty. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired in november 2009 under NHTSA campaign id number: 06v286000 (vehicle speed control). In march 2010, the vehicle was parked when it suddenly caught on fire. The fire department extinguished the fire yet they were unable to determine the origin of the fire. A fire report was available. The vehicle was destroyed and the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The current and failure mileage was approximately 109,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10392878, filed 2011-03, 109,000 miles“The contact owns a 1999 Ford f350 super duty. When the contact attempted to accelerate, the vehicle would not transition from idle or gain speed. It would take minutes for him to switch out of idle mode. The failure occurred at least four times. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer the first two times and repaired it under warranty. During the last two occurrences, he took the vehicle to a private repair shop once and another time repaired the issue himself. The throttle pedal assembly was the component that needed to be replaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #10245545, filed 2008-10, 30,573 miles“Dt: the contact owns a 1999 f350. Had the dealer check the speed control deactivation switch. Could not tell the part number,but it was the same one being used on the Ford/bronco that was being recalled under NHTSA campaign 05v388000. It was replaced. The contact has the old part. Would like the f350 model be added to the recall because of the part number on the speed control deactivation switch that the contact found on truck.”
