About 9/15/2010 the vehicle, while stopped at a red light failed to accelerate when light changed and the gas pedal was depressed. The truck then stalled and took up to 5 minutes to restart. The incident did not repeat for several months. The next incident the truck failed to accelerate after slowing to near stop at a yield at a highway crossing nearly causing an accident. Replaced fuel filter and had a tune up although it had recently been done and it didn't happen again for a few weeks. After a few weeks of hard driving with no incidence the truck again failed to accelerate on highway entrance ramp nearly causing another accident. After pulling over and turning off the engine and restarting it drove on the highway fine, but stalled when exiting the highway. The latest incident, driving on the highway the truck drove fine, until exiting. It failed to respond to pressure on the gas pedal and stalled leaving a woman and child on the side of the road for 2 hours waiting for a tow. During that time it would not start. Towed to dealership and after having the vehicle for a week, they stated they pulled codes showing fuel injector was bad, egr valve sticking, needs some sort of wiring harness, turbo needs cleaning and some sort of chip total cost over $2000.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 ford f-250 equipped with a diesel engine. The contact was driving at approximately 65 MPH, when the vehicle suddenly shut off completely with no power steering. He was able to get the vehicle safely to the side of the road and had it towed to a repair shop. The mechanic at the repair shop replaced the wiring harness and one of the fuel injectors. However, the wiring harness shorted out again and a fuel injector in another area blew.

He was also advised to replace the wiring harness and the module. The current and failure mileages were approximately 170,000.

2004 ford f250 super duty king ranch. After reflash to repair an idle problem truck developed three very dangerous conditions. 1. Cruise stalled - going down hill at approx 55-58 the truck will stall without warning. No power steering or brakes. Reproducable on demand. 2. Downshift lockup - truck will lockup rear tires in excess of 30 feet if tow/haul mode is used. On first occasion it almost caused a major accident on highway, came within inches of a head on with a large dump truck while towing a boat. Reproducable on demand. 3. Coast stall. Intermittently stalls usually at off ramps after cruise has been released. Extremly dangerous to take offramps in such a large vehilce with no power.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the service technician determined that one of the fuel injectors malfunctioned.
