What owners wrote
Have had acceleration issues with this ford f-450 since april of 2010, the first time the driver was able to stop the vehicle without incident but the engine blew up when he put it in neutral to stop the vehicle. It was at the ford dealership for 6 weeks, I retrieved the vehicle, while on the way home the engine failed again, it was towed back to the dealership. 1 week later I retrieved the vehicle again, 2 days after that the accelerator stuck once again while hauling a trailer loaded with a rental trencher.
Injectors turbo exhaust and alot more problems, been towed 6 times been to the dealer over 30 times went through lemon law didn't qualify vehicle to heavy.
