The vehicle lost power at approx. 65mph engine went into idle mode without any warning. I was able to avoid other vehicles on the interstate and coasted to a stop . The engine remained in idle mode and when the accelerator was pressed the engine did not increase in rpms. I turned the off the engine and when trying to restart in turned over, but would not fire up. After a couple of tries it finally started and I drove home. The second incident occurred on dec.26th 2011. The truck was driven to the store without any problems after returning and trying to start it up the engine would not fire. Finally after a couple of tries it finally started and I drove approx. Two miles , pulled into the driveway and it went into idle mode again. I turned the engine off but it will now not restart. I will have to get it towed to a repair shop, this could have had very serious consequences . The interstate traffic was lite and I was able to switch lanes even though I was coasting without power with the engine idling. A couple of vehicles had to hit the brakes as I moved over. If I had come to a stop in the middle of the interstate without power it could have easily resulted in a major accident. With the potential loss of life or serious injury.

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.

I have a 2005 ford f-250 6.0 diesel purchased in february 2005. Over the last year or so the truck has intermittent loss of power. This mostly occurs during take off from a stop. It has resulted in several near crashes due to faltering in the middle of an intersection. The federal safety agency has a recall for this issue (05v270000) which ford acknowledges. Ford however refuses to cover the repairs for this because my VIN is outside of the VIN specific recall. Even thought this recall effects my vehicle's model year and trouble code.

My f250 super duty truck stalls while driving, specially after turning corner. All 3 times the complete fuel injector assembly was replaced , 5/15/07, 12/15/07 & 8/15/07. Had fuel tank cleaned and found rust remains in bottom of fuel tank. The computer and wire harness had to be replaced 12/15/07. Fuel tank rusts from inside and blocks fuel line from fuel tank and water separator and consequently starves injectors from fuel which is why they burn up. See www.forddoctorsdts.com/articles/article-07-07.php. Each time I bring in the truck it costs for a truck with between $1,000-$4,000 with only 110,000 miles on the truck.
A sudden loss of electrical system components while operating on the highway. Abs warning light came on followed dimming of lights and reduction of windshield wiper speed and an increase in rpms not initiated by the operator.
Truck has had many electrical issues since I purchased it. Truck also has a terrible bounce when it hits a pothole.
Thursday january 18, 2007 the vehicle's battery were not charging. The dealer tested the system and determined that the alternator had overcharged the system and burnt the main harness coming out of the alternator. The dealer said the entire harness will have to be replaced along with the alternator which was putting out 17 amps.
The truck is leaking water, overheating, the turbo has been replaced. I can not find the leak, turbo is messed up again it was in the shop two times for this and it keeps doing the same thing. Also leaking anti freeze.
I could have been killed. In sept. 2005 I leased a f250 and since it has given me nothing but trouble. Exhaust problems (3 times for that) injector failed, many little bugs that the dealer cant fix. On 6-24-06 on I-94 doing a 65-68 MPH, the engine hesitates for a second then suddenly the wheels locked up and I lost control, skidding almost hitting 3 other cars and the wall on the shoulder. Finally after steering to the shoulder - stopped and basically had a panic attack, saw my life flash before my eyes. Sat for a couple minutes then got out to look at the wheels and under the truck for any clues as to what had just happened. I start up and stroll along the shoulder to the nearest exit the tow / haul light is flashing on and off. Drive about 30 MPH on a city road with my flashers on.. Not but a 1/8 of a mile it locks up again and then frees up, and rolls. I am now freaking out. And now the engine light is on . Called ford roadside I am a wreck! I'll never put my 4 month daughter in it. First diagnosis 3 days later after the lock up happened to the mechanic test driving the truck they guess the range sensor in the transmission and two days later called to tell me it was ready. 1 hour later the service tech called ,said we need to keep it longer 2 wks later they diagnose that a main wiring harness was leaning against the exhaust and burned up shorting the computer & told the trans to shift. I told them I do not want the truck. I don't feel safe and won't risk my life or my family. Ford legal finally contacted the dealership after many contacts to them and upon their decision 3 wks after they towed it I must accept this vehicle, because it is "supposedly" fixed. I feel that ford is not taking this case seriously, and I wont feel safe driving this truck again. My service director among many of the service agents at the dealership as well as the ford factory rep. Say that they would not feel safe driving in this truck if it were their truck, and would not drive it.
