cruise control 2001

has any one had a problem with the curse control surging on them between the speed of 68 to 72 or at any speed. I am having a fight with ford about this, i am almost sure that this is a factory defect. Thank you all in advace for your hepl.

YES! Do a search and you should find a topic (or two) where we've discussed this issue. Both my '00 F250 (now gone) and current '01 F350 surge terribly at the same speeds you state.

Yeah my 2001 SD did the same thing. I mentioned it to the service dept. and was told that there is a service alert out for the problem not a TSB. The problem is caused by an ABS sensor. I no longer have the truck and I never did get it fixed. I was also told that it will do it a 48 mph and something like 97mph. Your Ford dealer should have info on this matter. My 02 dosen't do it so I guess they have corrected the problem.

I have the same problem, Same story from dealer. I did find a perm fix though. Don't set cruse at 69 or 70
Sorry, I know how irritating it is at times. If anyone gets at real fix it seems plenty of others would like to know.

That's been my solution too. I'm afraid to let the dealer "fix" something that isn't badly broken. However, it does seem to be getting worse lately.

It's fixed chanded the ABS module.
There is a service advisory or some such, no TSB however I asked the dealer what a person did if they were out of warranty? He said that because the notice from ford that it is a warranty covered item.

I have had the same problem, but have been dealing with it just by not setting the cruise at that speed. I am afraid that if I bring it in for that, that I will be opening a can of worms and make bore problems then i would solve.
