"ficm & icp recall" received a recall notice from ford july 2005 in regards to faulty ficm and icp. The ficm was repaired august 2005 by a ford dealership. Note, we did not have any issues with the truck prior to the fix. January 2006 we had to take the truck into the shop due to the engine running rough while idling and acceling; the ficm was replaced due to a short; the issue that was just fixed on the truck. The truck has been in the shop 5 times since january 2006 and has cost us over $11,000 out of pocket to try and resolve this issue that started after the initial recall fix. We have contacted ford hdqrs and they advised to take the truck into the dealership which we did multiple times. Over the last few months the surging has become increasingly worse. While traveling in heavy traffic on i5 pulling a 30' 5th wheel trailer, the truck surged forward unexpectedly just missing the car in front of us. A few weeks ago I was stopped at an intersection, when I began to take my foot off the brake to move forward the truck surged forward 3 feet. I was lucky there wasn't another car close or a person in the street. Just the other day I was parallel parking and when I took my foot off the gas to back up a little the truck surged backward almost hitting the car in back of the truck. The truck also stalls just before coming to a complete stop occasionally. This issue has become extremely dangerous in that I don't feel safe driving the truck. I looked into the california lemon law and it sounds like the truck might be covered under this. We need to get rid of this truck but feel ford does not stands behind their product. I have attached the recall notice and some of the receipts for the repairs done to the truck just in regards to this surging issue. I was only able to attach 5 documents but have many more if needed.

We have been having on and off problems for about a year with our vehicle stalling while driving. The vehicle would start up but only go about 3 blocks and then stall again. We have replaced the ficm. Vehicle seemed of for a few months and now we are having a problem with it running rough at low idle speeds and missing while driving and running rough. We have been told its the icp sensor and there may be a recall on these part.I called ford today and our vehicle doesn not fall under this recall but yet we have had the same problems with the ficm amd icp (recall05s34) can you please check and see if any other 2004 ford f250 super duties are having issues also that ford is not fixing?????

My truck started to stall intermittently, I've had it to the dealer to have numerous repairs performed. I saw the federal safety agency campaign number: 05v270000 which references ford recall no. 05s34. I called to inquire at west brothers ford in sullivan mo. And was told my truck has no recalls. I called ford customer service and the first person said the recall expired and my truck was no longer under warranty. The second person said my truck wasn't affected because the recall said "certain" vehicles. My truck falls in the manufacture dates listed on the recall, has the 6.0 engine and is stalling now. I have owned my truck since new and it has not had this work performed on it. I would like an explanation of what "certain" vehicles apply to this recall and why mine doesn't. I would also like my truck fixed or reimbursed by ford, unless they can show why my truck doesn't need the work done. This is a safety matter. Thank you. ## VIN passed ## ford f250 super duty 2004 ##

While driving at speeds between 40 and 65 MPH, the vehicle will suddenly stall. Fuel light engine preheat warning lights will come on. If the cruise control and/or tow haul are in use at the time of the stall, they are shut off at the same time. Engine can usually be restarted; on a few occasions it has been necessary to turn on the emergency flashers and attempt to get out of traffic. This creates a hazardous situation when driving on interstate highways. The stalling has occurred when the vehicle has no load and also when pulling a light weight fifth wheel camper. We have taken the vehicle to 2 local ford dealerships, they have replaced parts (accelerator pedal, & a "fuel management module) but have been unsuccessful in correcting the problem and claim to be unaware of any history of problems with this model vehicle.

In 2004 I purchased this vehicle brand new. Subsequent expenses to maintain this vehicle in working condition have been extensive. 11/16/05- fuel injector wiring repair, exhaust pressure replacement, air cooler duct replacement (warranty) 11/1/06 - water in fuel light, throttle unexplained acceleration. 1/8/07- runaway throttle stalling, hesitation. 10/31/07- stalling, hesitation replaced main wire harness. Replaced elbow on turbo.12/5/08- egr cooler failed, turbo had water and rust, replaced same. 10/15/09- replaced starter ficm module. 1/15/10 replaced ipr valve & vgt solenoid, egr cooler failed again. 6/8/10- diesel head stud parts for repair. 6/24/10 - regulatory & kit, gasket-cylinder. 7/7/10- head stud modify. 7/20/10- replaced high pressure oil pump & power steering pump. I have spent $15,135.17 more for repairs that seem to be repetitive and very expensive. Based on the repair record I think that even you would say that there is something very wrong with this vehicle's engine. I have had this truck for eight years and have finally contacted ford motor company only to learn that they are unable to assist with the cost of any repairs beyond the normal warranty provisions.
