ENGINE
I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK SPITTING AND SPUTTERING AND BLOWING BLACK/BLUE SMOKE WHEN UNDER LOAD. TOOK TO DEALER, REPLACED INJ. FUEL PUMP AND LINE, STOPPED FOR A FEW MONTHS AT THE COST OF $3200 THEN TWO MONTHS LATER COMING UP RT 81. KEPT RUNNING VERY ROUGH, SHAKING STALLING, PULLED OVER AND HAD AAA TAKE IT TO DEALER, THEY SENT IT OUT AND WAS CALLED BEING TOLD CYLINDER IS BAD DUE TO BAD INJ. THEY STARTED THE TRUCK TO MOVE IT OUT OF GARAGE AND A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD THEN THE ENGINE DIED..I STILL OWE $15,000 ON THIS TRUCK AND CANT AFFORD $8,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE HAD FORDS IN THE PAST AND HAD ONLY RUST PROBLEMS WITH THEM BUT I WILL DON'T BUY ANOTHER ONE AFTER THIS ... *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HIT A SMALL POTHOLE IN THE ROAD AND THE SUSPENSION STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE THE TRUCK ALONG WITH SEVERE STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATIONS. NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO STOP THE OSCILLATIONS. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON MY TRUCK MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 30 TO 60 MPH AND CONTRARY TO OTHER REPORTS LISTED ON HERE, THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT AND MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I HAVE PUT ON AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION AND TIRES SINCE THE ORIGINAL TIME THIS HAPPENED AND ADDED A STEERING STABILIZER WHICH HELPED TO KEEP THIS FROM OCCURRING BUT IT STILL HAPPENS ON OCCASION. THIS PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT UP TO MY DEALER AT THE BEGINNING AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. THE SHAKING AND BEATING OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS IS UNBELIEVABLE. I FULLY BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE A BROKEN RIM, ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BRAKE PROBLEMS, AND WHAT I BELIEVE IS A CRACKED TURBO UP PIPE OR SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS ALLOWING EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CAB. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
WHILE AT A DEAD STOP, PLACED TRUCK IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO FULL POWER LUNGING THE VEHICLE FORWARD 10' WHILE I SIMULTANEOUSLY APPLIED BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE FOR MAXIMUM STOPPING POWER. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN TWO TO THREE MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPENED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON. TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. RESEARCHED THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND LOTS OF OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS HUMAN ERROR, FLOOR MAT, OR SIMILAR PROBLEM... BUT THIS LAST TIME, I WAS PREPARED BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS INCIDENTS. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AND MAY EVEN RESULT IN DEATH. *TR

STEERING
I STARTED THIS TRIP AT THE KENTUCKY HORSE PARK, I-75 AT EXIT 120. I HAD BEEN DRIVING AN HOUR, HEADING NORTH. THIS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE LATE AFTERNOON, BETWEEN 5PM AND 6PM, BROAD DAYLIGHT EXCELLENT VISIBILITY, DRY, PARTLY CLOUDY, TRAVELING 65 MPH IN THE CENTER OF THREE LANES. I WAS NOT TIRED NOR DISTRACTED. I WAS NORTHBOUND ON I-75 IN NORTHERN KY WHEN I WENT OVER A MINOR BUMP, JUST ROUGH PAVEMENT. I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THERE WAS NO OBJECT IN THE ROAD. AFTER THE BUMP THE TRUCK BEGAN STEERING ERRATICALLY, WANDERING, MUCH AS IT HAD 4 DAYS EARLIER WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FRONT U-JOINTS. I SLOWED DOWN, GOT THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL, TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE. I HEARD A HIGH-PITCHED SCREECHING METAL NOISE. THEN I SMELLED BURNING RUBBER. I WAS ALERT AND VERY AWARE OF ROAD CONDITIONS AND THE TRAFFIC (TWO LANES WERE MERGING FROM THE RIGHT FROM I-275 SO I WAS IN THE CENTER OF FIVE LANES) AND I AM CERTAIN THERE WERE NO OBJECTS IN THE ROAD. THE CONCRETE WAS CLEAR AND SMOOTH. I HEARD A LOUD BANG UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND IT TOOK OFF TO THE RIGHT. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY CLEAR THE TRUCK WAS NOT RESPONDING TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, MADE MY BODY RIGID AND PULLED UP ON THE STEERING WHEEL FOR MAXIMUM DOWN FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL, I TRAVELED ACROSS BOTH LANES ON MY RIGHT (THE MERGING LANES FROM I-275) AND CAME TO A STOP WITH THE LEFT REAR WHEEL ON THE CONCRETE APRON AND ALL OTHER WHEELS IN THE ROCKY SOIL THAT WAS THE SIDE OF A DITCH WITH A MOUNTAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE TIE ROD END HAD SNAPPED. ONE THEORY IS THAT THE TIE ROD END WAS OVER-HARDENED AND BECAME BRITTLE, POSSIBLY CRACKED, THEN THE NEW U-JOINTS CHANGED THE STRESSES ON IT AND IT SNAPPED.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN NOV,2011. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE POWER. WAS TOLD BY FORD DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM WOULD NEED TO REBUILD ENGINE, SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY (INVOLVED EGR, GASKETS AND BENT HEAD BOLTS). CALL FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY PEOPLE. REFUSED TO PAY ANYTHING. NOW TRUCK HAS ABOUT 96000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRUCK IS STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN, WAS TOLD THAT THE INJECTORS ARE THE PROBLEM NOW. DECIDED TO CHECK OUT RECALLS ON THIS VEH. AND FOUND OUT SEVERAL THINGS (1) THAT FORD HAD A RECALL FOR THE INJECTORS AND (2) THAT THE PROBLEMS BEFORE WERE PROBABLY CAUSED BY THIS. CALLED THE RECALL CENTER AT FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT VIN # DID NOT MATCH UP TO ANY RECALLS, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ON 180000 05 FORD F250 SD. WAS ALSO TOLD TO CHECK WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT IS ALSO THROUGH FORD. ONCE THIS IS FIXED WILL HAVE MORE MONEY INVESTED IN THIS AND REBUILDING ENGINE 6 MONTHS AGO THAN THE TRUCK IS WORTH. NO MORE FORDS FOR US. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD CRANK MY TRUCK AND ONCE IT WAS STARTED IT SMOKED BADLY BUT DID EVENTUALLY CLEAR UP. IT SPIT AND SPUTTERED ON THE WAY TO WORK SO I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE MECHANICS SHOP. THE MECHANIC INSPECTED IT AND THE FUEL INJECTOR MODULE WAS BAD. I RESEARCHED THE RECALL LIST AND CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MOBILE, AL BASED ON THE RECALL LIST TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED; GAVE THEM MY VIN AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPAIR THE MODULE FOR $900.00 HOWEVER THE NHTSA ID # 05V270000 SAYS THERE IS A RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
2005 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY, STARTED AT @ 25,000 MILES IN 2008 AND STILL HAPPENS TODAY. HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING OVER 60 MPH, WHEN YOU HIT ANY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT SUSPENSION STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON THE FREEWAY. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CORRECT AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE TIRES WERE BALANCED AND THE LUG NUTS WERE TORQUED TO FORD SPECS. TALKED TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW HOURS RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND FREQUENT WITH THE FORD SUPER DUTY LINE FROM 05"-08". IT SEEMS TO BE AN ENGINEERING DEFECT AND FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IT DOES APPEAR THAT FORD HAS OFFERED ANY REMEDIES. THE NHTSA ALSO KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. I VIEWED FOUR NHTSA VIDEOS THAT DEMONSTRATED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY TRUCK. I HAVE FOUND NO ACTION ON THE PART OF THE NHTSA. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *JS

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE ABOVE VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE INCLUDING SUCH THINGS AS THE EGR COOLER, THE EGR VALVE (TWICE), THE FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MOD (FICM), THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL REGULATOR SCREEN, (A .10 CENT PIECE 450.00 LABOR). IF YOU WILL SEARCH THIS ENGINE FROM 2003 TO 2007 YOU WILL FIND HUNDRED IF NOT THOUSAND OF POST BY OWNERS OF THE 6.0 POWERSTROKE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER. FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP ANYONE AND THEY TOLD ME IN AN EMAIL YOU WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN MAKE THEM HAVE A RECALL. I HOPE YOU WILL STEP UP AND HELP ALL OF US. FORD FILED SUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURE (INTERNATION/ NAVISTAR) OVER THIS ENGINES PROBLEMS BACK IN 2004 BUT THEY KEPT SELLING IT KNOWING IT HAD PROBLEMS THAT WOULD BE LEFT UP TO THE BUYERS OF THE VEHICLES, I WAS PERSONALLY TOLD BY A SALESMAN TO EXPECT 350,000 MILES FROM THIS ENGINE. IF YOU CAN NOT HELP ME AND THE OTHERS CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ELSE I CAN DO? WILL IT TAKE LEGAL ACTION OR IS THERE ANOTHER PATH I CAN TAKE? *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE DRIVING ON PA INTERSTATE 81, MY 2005 F250 EXPERIENCED SEVERE DRIVING LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN THE FRONT SUSPENSION TRAVELED OVER AN AREA OF THE ROAD THAT WAS UNEVEN. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCKS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING INTO THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. DECELERATING BY RELEASING THE GAS PEDDLE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP THE SEVERE VIBRATIONS AND APPLYING THE BRAKES SEEMED TO INCREASE THE PROBLEM. MY ENTIRE FAMILY AND A NON-FAMILY MEMBER WAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND WE ALL FEARED FOR OUR LIVES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, THERE IS A VIDEO POSTED BY ANOTHER FORD OWNER AND IS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAD EXPERIENCED TOO. (HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=8EUQ6F8RGT4&FEATURE=RESULTS_VIDEO&PLAYNEXT=1&LIST=PLDCA2FF5512789E5A) IT IS KNOWN AS ' FORD F250 DEATH WOBBLE', WHEN VIEWING THE VIDEO, THE DEATH WOBBLE BEGINS AROUND 1 MIN 30 SEC INTO THE VIDEO AND NEEDS TO BE SERIOUSLY ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED TO PREVENT THIS FROM EVER RECURRING AGAIN BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR HURT... *TR
