2010 F-250 40K MILES HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP SINCE PURCHASED 14 SERVICE REPAIRS AND 8 OF THE 14 REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MAJOR, TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING AND DOWN SHIFTING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, HAD TO BE REPAIRED, CRUISE CONTROL WENT OUT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER WHILE ON A HIGHLY CONGESTED HIGHWAY, IT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A FEW TIMES NOW, DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FUEL, SPEEDOMETER. EGR VALVES WENT OUT AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION WITH A 30 FOOT TRAILER, WHICH THAT HAPPENED TWICE, FORD SAYS WELL THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE DEALT WITH. THIS HAS RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHICH CAUSES TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN MAJOR ISSUES OR ACCIDENTS, TRUCK WAS PURCHASED TO HAUL A TRAILER AND WE DO NOT TRUST IT AT ALL SINCE IT HAS BROKE DOWN SO MANY TIMES. WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR LOADED OR UNLOADED IT HAS A HESITATION BEFORE IT GOES, SOMETIMES IT TAKES AWHILE TO GET UP TO SPEED, FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALSO. WHEN THE CLEANING EXHAUST SYSTEM IS ON IT STARTS TO DECELERATE AND YOU LOSE A GOOD AMOUNT OF POWER. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN JULY 2011. I OWN AND BOUGHT NEW, A 2004 F-250 SUPER DUTY CREW CAB FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK WITH A 6.0 LITER ENGINE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH HARD COLD STARTS. WHEN IT DID START AFTER THREE TO FOUR ATTEMPTS, THE ENGINE RAN EXTREMELY ROUGH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, IT WOULD EVENTUALLY LEVEL OFF. THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THE ENGINE WOULD START AND STOP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. BUT AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE TRUCK WOULD BE HARD TO START. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. ON THE EVENING OF AUGUST 11, 2011, AFTER THE ENGINE WAS OFF FOR ONLY THREE HOURS, IT WAS HARD TO START. THE ENGINE WOULD LOPE, IT WOULD NOT LEVEL OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND BLEW BLACK SMOKE OUT THE EXHAUST. EVENTUALLY, IT DID LEVEL OFF AND DROVE HOME. I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO START IT UP AGAIN UNTIL THE MORNING OF AUGUST FIFTEEN. IT WOULD NOT START. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, IT CRANKED, ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO START, THEN BACK TO JUST CRANKING. I ATTEMPTED SEVEN TIMES AND STOPPED CONCERNED I WOULD DRAIN THE BATTERY, DAMAGE THE STARTER, OR SOME OTHER PART. I CONTACTED THE DEALER. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THEIR SERVICE CENTER. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE FICM (FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE) AND WAS GOING TO COST ME $1,300 TO FIX. THIS IS OUR ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION, SO I RELUCTANTLY GAVE THEM THE GO AHEAD TO FIX IT. THE DAY IT WENT IN FOR SERVICE IT ONLY HAD 55,079 MILES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD. I HESITATED IN SWITCHING TO DIESEL, BUT AFTER RESEARCHING AND LISTENING TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES ABOUT THE LOWER FUEL COSTS, LOWER MAINTENENCE, HIGHER PERFORMANCE, I SWITCHED. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT IN ONLY SEVEN YEARS, I'M HAVING TO SPEND OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE A PART THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. POOR DESIGN OR POOR QUALITY? AMERICAN MADE CARS AND TRUCKS USED TO BE BUILT TO OUTLAST THEIR OWNERS. THIS EVENT HAS QUESTIONED MY TRUST IN THE "BUILT FORD TOUGH" STATEMENT. RECALL SHOULD BE THE WORD FOR THIS SITUATION.*KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RE ODI REPORT 10319552 : SOLUTION FINALLY REACHED REGARDING MY 2005 F250 SUPER DUTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH LACK OF ACCELERATION . IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL THIS DEVICE IS APPARENTLY FAULTY AS YOU RESEARCH IT IS COMMON ON ALL FORD 5.8L ENGINES BUT FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT AFTER NUMEROUS SENSOR REPLACEMENTS AT THE ADVICE OF FORD AND QUITE COSTLY USUALLY $100.00 PER SENSOR AND MANY NEAR MISSES AS FOR LACK OF POWER TO ENGINE AND UNRELIABILITY OF WHEN IT WILL OR WONT HAPPEN THE IMRC CONTROLS THE AIRFLOW TO YOUR CYLINDERS AND UPON FAILURE WILL DECIDE TO EITHER STICK OPEN OR CLOSED DEPENDING ON ITS MOOD THUSLY CAUSING EITHER A TOO RICH OR TOO LEAN SCENARIO GOING UN REPAIRED WILL CAUSE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE ALSO AT A REPLACEMENT COST OF $1700.00 +/- THE IMRC ONLY COSTS AROUND $67.00 BUT FORD WANTS $500- 600 TO REPLACE IT AS IT REQUIRES THE WHOLE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO REACH THE IMRC WHICH IS MOUNTED DIRECTLY TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ON THE REAR OF IT AND IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE THIS WAY. WITH SO MANY FAILURES OF THIS PART A RECALL OR AT LEAST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE OF ITEM SHOULD BE MADE AS WAS DONE ON FUEL INJECTORS THAT WERE INHERENTLY BAD ALSO. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF WHEN IMRC WILL ACT UP BE AWARE IT STARTS AS LOW OR NO TAKE OFF POWER WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED AND IS INTERMITTENT AT BEST ALONG W POOR MPG CALL FORD AND COMPLAIN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND SAVE YOURSELVES BUNDLES OF MONEY THIS TOOK ME 3 YEARS OF DEALING WITH FORD AND PRIVATE MECHANICS TO FINALLY RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND AT A COSTS OF ABOUT $6000.00 IN UNNECESSARY SENSOR REPLACEMENTS . THIS IS ON 5.8L GAS FUEL INJECTED 3VALVE ENGINES IF YOU RESEARCH INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL THROUGH A SEARCH ENGINE YOU WILL SEE THE MULTITUDE OF FAILURES FOR THIS PART IT IS NOT VEHICLE SPECIFIC BUT ENGINE SPECIFIC. MILEAGE START WAS 300000 FINAL DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR 98000. *TR

PARKING BRAKE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
REGARDS 2005 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY VIN:[XXX] THE REAR AXLE BACK PLATE / DUST SHIELD HOLDS THE HOLDING PINS FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS RUST OUT AROUND THE PINS AND RENDERS THE BRAKES USE LESS. WHICH CAUSES THE PADS TO DRAG ON THE DRUM AND THEREFORE POUR ACCELERATION/ PREMATURE DAMAGE TO PADS AN DRUM. I WAS TOLD BY A FORD DEALER THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $300 PER PLATE NEED 2 SO $600 PLUS FOUR HOURS IN LABOR. THE FORD SERVICE TENANT TOLD ME THE REPLACEMENTS ARE IN STOCK AND ARE NOT KNOWN TO RUST AND FAIL. SO I ASKED OTHERS OWNERS AND OF COURSE THEY EITHER HAD THE WORK DOWN AT COST OR WERE WAITING TO HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO SO. WHEN YOUR STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND PAYING OTHER BILLS IT'S HARD TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE DONE THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLES LIFE. NOW I LIVE NEW ENGLAND SO YEAH THERE'S SALT AND MUD / DIRT TO FACTOR IN BUT I DON'T PUT A BOAT IN THE WATER WITH IT OR WAIT UNTIL A RAIN STORM TO RINSE OF THE SALT AND MUD. ACCORDING TO SEASON AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OR WHAT YEAR RANGE OF VEHICLES WHERE AFFECTED. BUT A RECALL WOULD MAKE SENSE. OF COURSE I FIND THIS OUT AFTER I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR CALIPERS AND RUBBER HOSES AT 45000 MILES BUT NOT THE BRAKE SHOES THEY WERE STILL GOOD.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY HUSBAND WAS ATTEMPTING TO STEP INTO HIS TRUCK WHEN HIS RUNNING BOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE IN HALF WITH HIM AND CAME COMPLETELY OFF THE TRUCK, SENDING HIM TO THE GROUND. AS HE IS DISABLED, THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. I FEEL IF THERE IS A SHELF LIFE OR WEIGHT LIMIT ON THESE RUNNING BOARDS, THEN THE MANUFACTURER HAS AN OBLIGATION TO HAVE IT POSTED SOMEWHERE ON THE TRUCK. HE HURT HIS BACK AND HIP BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE HAD HE FELL ON PAVEMENT INSTEAD OF DIRT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE FORD RECALL ON AUGUST 1, 2011 CONCERNING THE METAL MOUNTING STRAPS HOLDING UP THE GAS TANK(S) ON 1997-1999 FORD F-250 TRUCKS, I CHECKED UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK AND FOUND THAT ONE OF THE MOUNTING STRAPS ON THE FRONT GAS TANK WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND HANGING. THE OTHER FRONT STRAP AS WELL AS THE TWO STRAPS ON THE REAR GAS TANK ARE ALSO SEVERELY RUSTED AND COMPROMISED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AS WELL AS FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THESE STRAPS WILL FAIL CAUSING MY GAS TANKS TO HIT THE GROUND.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LOWER TRACK BAR BRACKETS WILL SHEAR OFF AND BREAK LEAVING TRACK BAR FLOATING IN FRONT END. THIS CAN OCCUR ON LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES AND IS REPORTED MANY TIMES ON THE INTERNET BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN LEAD TO A ROLLOVER OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPEND SO MANY TIMES THAT AFTERMARKET COMPANIES ARE MAKING AFTERMARKET KITS TO REPAIR THE BROKEN BRACKETS NOW.
