ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I PURCHASED A 2006 FORD F 250 WITH THE TRITON 54 . I HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS WHEN THE MOTOR STARTED TICKING. I'M TOLD THAT IT'S A SPARK PLUG ISSUE AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO WORK ON IT DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF FIXING THE PROBLEM WHEN THE PLUGS BREAK OFF IN THE HEAD AND THEY ALSO SAID IT WILL PROBABLY BLOW A SPARKPLUG OUT . THIS WILL COST APROX. $3000 TO FIX . *TR

2006 F250 SUPERDUTY 6.0: THIS VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ENGINE ON THE 2004 F250 FOR THE SAME THING. IT STALLED LAST WEEK GOING INTO A HARD TURN AND I RAN OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AFTER IT STALLED. IT COULD HAVE BEEN LETHAL IF THERE WERE MORE TRAFFIC....I HAD IT TOWED ($250) IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK....LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP.... *LN

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
2006 F250 SD DIESEL SHAKES EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY WHEN CRUISING AT 55MPH+ AND HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. TRUCK IS UNCONTROLLABLE, DIFFICULT TO AVOID OTHER CARS. SLOWING TO ABOUT 35 MPH WILL RESOLVE THE SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN 11 MONTHS, BOTH TOWING TRAILERS, EMPTY, ETC. TIRE PRESSURE, JOINTS, BEARINGS, DAMPENER, ALIGNMENT ETC ARE ALL FINE. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON AMONG 2005-2006 F250 OWNERS, NO PERMANENT SOLUTION IS KNOWN BY FORD. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
2006 FORD SUPERDUTY CREW CAB F-250 4X4 DIESEL THIS VEHICLE HAS ON MANY OCCASIONS STARTED WOBBLING SO BAD AFTER HITTING A BUMP THAT IT IS OUT OF CONTROL AND THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO GET YOU TO DO SOMETHING BESIDES SLAP FORD MOTOR ON THE WRIST. I KNOW YOU HAVE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. ALL FORD HAS DONE IS ISSUE A VAGUE TSB THAT DOES NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DEMAND A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF MY OWN MONEY TRYING TO FIX MY TRUCK AND I STILL AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE MOST OF THE ISSUE IS IN THE STEERING BOX USED ON THIS VEHICLE AND FORD SHOULD RE-DESIGN AND FIX THIS ISSUE ON THEIR OWN DIME. ALOT OF US HAVE PAID $50,000 FOR A VEHICLE THAT WE ARE TOO SCARED TO PUT OUR FAMILY IN AND DRIVE. MY WIFE REFUSES TO EVEN RIDE IN IT ANYMORE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
FILED COMPLAINT PREVIOUSLY. EGR AND OIL COOLER FAILURE...CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE AND HYDROLOCK SITUATION. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE $8650. SURE WOULD BE NICE FOR FORD TO HAVE A HAND IN THE REPAIRS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN. FORD REFUSED TO HELP WITH REPAIR COST. 120K MILES. PLEASE LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THESE COMPLAINTS. I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION. I AM SURE THAT THE LOBBYIST AT FORD ARE DOING THEIR JOB TO KEEP THIS FROM BECOMING A RECALL SITUATION. IT IS HURTING NO ONE BUT THE OWNERS OF THIS 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP! *TR

SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 F250 SUPERDUTY XLT, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHAKES IN THE FRONT END WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ANYTHING OVER 50 MPH, SO BAD THAT I THINK MY DOORS ARE GOING TO POP OPEN. I DO LOSE BRIEF CONTROL, AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN CONTROL WITHOUT BRAKING. I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD REGARDING THIS ISSUE STATING TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE. I HAVE COMPLIED WITH THIS BUT STILL IS A FACTOR REGARDLESS. I DO NOT HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO DO ANY EXPENSIVE UPGRADES OR REPAIRS. THIS IS A FORD ISSUE! THEY NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT KILLS MANY PEOPLE. THIS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS FAIRLY NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 38,000 MILES NOW. THIS IS A PROBLEM ALL OVER THE US THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! I CAN'T GIVE A DATE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME! *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 FORD SD SINCE DECEMBER 2008. SHORTLY AFTER WINTER DURING HIGH WAY DRIVING I EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END AFTER HITTING A POT WHOLE. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD HAS CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD EXPLAINING THAT I NEED TO KEEP THE TIRE PRESSURE AT THE RECOMMENDED LEVEL OR IT WOULD CAUSE THE SHAKING. BUT THE AIR PRESSURE DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I BECAME TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON ANY EXPRESS WAYS AND LIMITED DRIVING IT IN TOWN AND NON-EXPRESSWAY ROADS. AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF THIS VIOLENT SHAKING, I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I BECAME TO AFRAID THIS VEHICLE WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE BUT I ONLY TRUST IT IN TOWN DRIVING. *TR
