The computer (PCM) shuts the truck down, kills the engine and everything associated with it (power steering,brakes,ect.). At 4735 miles the computer was reprogrammed due to truck not able to run. At 51,698 performed recall 05s34 fic module wiring harness repair. At 57,377 miles the truck shut down turning through an intersection leaving the truck in the path of traffic. The dealership was unable to communicate with the computer at all. Dealership replaces and reprograms PCM. At 57,398 miles the truck shut down again fully loaded with trailer running 65 MPH. Barely got truck to side of road and stopped safely due to no power brakes or steering. Dealership replaced fuse box assy. At 57,399 miles the truck started missing, dealership replaced engine loom. At or around 89,450 miles the truck shut down running 70 MPH on highway was almost unable to safely get truck to side of roadway. Dealership replaced PCM again and reprogrammed. Truck did not run long enough to go on a road test before shutting down again. Dealership replaced injector loom of wire harness. Each time I was towed after a shut down we had to make extra accommodations for our pets and other passengers with us. We feel we were extremely lucky this last time not to have been in an accident injuring other people as well as ourselves.
While driving approximately 30 MPH on dry level pavement, the engine returned to idle with no power. Pulled over to a safe place and tried again after re-starting. Drove approximately mile and the engine stalled. No warning lights were on and after many more attempts, the vehicle had to be towed. Dealer located and replaced burned wiring harness directly below the turbo charger.
My truck is not under recall 04s15 for battery ground strap. On 11-22-2005 it caught on fire and burned because of a loose strap.

1. When starting for the past couple of months the starter turned a little more slowly than it should have. On the morning of 7/2/05 the starter turned the engine very slowly but did not start the engine and it seemed like the batteries were dead. The key was turned off and removed from the truck. 2. A few minutes after removing the key from the truck a fire started under the hood on the passenger side. The truck was on fire for about 20 minutes and was totaled. 3. Nothing has been done since as the truck is totaled.
2004 ford super duty diesel on occasions would die and consumer had difficulty restarting it.***no answer required***.
We purchased a 2004 f250 turbo diesel from mike brown ford on may 29, 2004 and the nightmare began. The first problem the dealership wired the keyless entry incorrectly and had to replace the wiring harness. After that the truck began to have problems with surging,and dying in the middle of the road.. The truck has been in the shop numerous times, they have replaced the computer 9 times, exchanged the egr values twice, they have slipped the torque converter, and all types of reprogrammed on the various components on this vehicle.. To date the truck runs extremely bad. My wife drives this vehicle, and is extremely scared of this truck, do to the fact that it surges and loses vacuum and shoves her into intersections at red lights or any other times she applies the brakes. The various ford dealerships are no help they constantly reprogram and release the vehicle . No more or less than 5000 miles the vehicle starts it again. We believe that this vehicle is defective and extremely dangerous to drive, seeing how you never no when it will die, or surge . We feel that this vehicle is a danger to anyone who comes in contact with .
The truck was purchased new on 10/31/03 and immediately we had problems with the engine surging and running rough. The dealer tried 3 times and the truck continues to have the same problem. This is a history of our problems with this truck: on 8/23/04, engine idle low and runs rough and the dealer replaced the ebp sensor. On 9/2/04, the dealer again replaced the ebp sensor and the truck continues to run rough and surge during idle. On 9/9/04, we spoke with the mechantic to tell him we were still having the same problem.*ak on 1/4/05, the engine shut off while we were driving. The truck finally started and we took it to auto way ford and was kept there for 7 days. They replaced the injector harness ssm18226. On 1/24/05, the engine again shut off and was towed to auto way ford. They were told by the ford engineers to do a "wire wiggle test". They could not determine the problem but kept it for 12 days. The tech referred the problem to george s., the service manager. On 2/7/05, truck again died and had to be owed to auto way ford. The replaced the ficm and cleared the modules. They had the truck 8 days. Based on the past history, we are not comfortable in taking the truck for long distances. Additionally, we are concerned that the engine will shut off while we're on an interstate or a busy road. We're also concerned that even though we had idle problems immediately with the truck, the engine shut down problem did not occur until the truck was around a year old with only 19,115 miles. The reliability and safety of this truck is obviously questionable.
Bought 2004 f-250 diesel 4 door lariet in may. We have had nothing but trouble. First it was taken in four times for a rattle had to replace door latch. Next the transmission was slipping was put on computer and was told nothing they could do until it totally broke down. Then the truck would die and I would loose steering and brakes had to replace electrical harness. The best one is the odor coming out the vents. Has been to 3 different shops in texas still not fixed.odor has got so strong that my child has to take migraine pills if she is in the truck more than 30 min. I lend up having headaches,sleepy,sore throat and vomiting. Was told not to run the A/C but to run on max A/C no help from ford company. Please help us. Will it take someone to die before they do something about it.
The consumers vehicle was not included in the recall regarding the battery cable and subsequently the vehicle caught fire. The vehicle proceeded to burn even when extinguished with a fire extinguisher. The consumer was told by the manufacture the battery cable recall did not include his vehicle. Battery harness the federal safety agency recall. Please provide information.
Truck "cuts out" losing power intermittently with no rhyme or reason. It seems electrical since both the glow plug light as well as the water in fuel light come on for about 2 seconds and go off. Once they go off, it will run again until the next occurrence. I have had the complete ficm harness (it ran fine for two weeks after the replacement) replaced by the dealer.iit has been in the shop four times now for a total of 10 days for this problem and it only has 7000 miles.
