What owners wrote
2008 f250: had this truck since 9-28-08. Several occasions when applying brake my foot also touches accelerator pedal causing engine to race. Engine is very quite and do not immediately realize that condition. This is bad enough with my manual transmission. It would far worse with an automatic transmission.
Slowing down exiting to the left off hi-way after about a half an hour at 70MPH. Brake pedal felt like it kicked back, both brakes and steering locked up, slid unto shoulder, then everything released like normal. Brought to dealer, they replaced hyro-booster system and fluids. Issue seemed corrected, exiting right on hwy no issue, however everything locked up again first time exiting left. After 10 days researching issue, dealer assured replacing damper assembly(?) and all four tires would resolve.
