I was heading down my street in my neighborhood and just before the street bends to the left my truck stalled and I lost my power brakes and power steering. Doing the best I could I turned the wheel just enough to avoid the car parked on the side of the street then I proceeded to run through my neighbor's wrought iron gate and plaster coming to rest on the hill in his front yard. After assessing the damage, I tried to start my truck to see if I could move it. It started and I moved it to my driveway. After the repairs were done at the body shop I then took it to my mechanic where he discovered a faulty wire in the wire harness causing the engine to stall without any notice or signs of trouble. Later I learned from my insurance company that there was a recall for the 2004-2005 models for the wire harness specifically, that I never received any information on.

Bought vehicle used in nov,2011. About 4 months later started having problems with engine power. Was told by ford dealership that I bought it from would need to rebuild engine, should be covered under extended warranty (involved egr, gaskets and bent head bolts). Call ford extended warranty people. Refused to pay anything. Now truck has about 96000 miles on it and the truck is stalling out while driving down the road, took back to dealership again, was told that the injectors are the problem now. Decided to check out recalls on this veh. And found out several things (1) that ford had a recall for the injectors and (2) that the problems before were probably caused by this. Called the recall center at ford and was told that VIN # did not match up to any recalls, even though it was on 180000 05 ford f250 sd. Was also told to check with extended warranty that is also through ford. Once this is fixed will have more money invested in this and rebuilding engine 6 months ago than the truck is worth. No more fords for us.
