On deceleration the engine stalls after driven for 10-15 minutes. The check engine light comes on. I don't notice the stall until I apply the gas pedal. A couple of times I was turning, I had to slow down severely to give me more time to turn( no power steering). I almost had an accident several times. The code was a throttle body code p2104.I replaced the throttle body. After a few months the stalling occurred again. This is dangerous. At this time the stalling hasn't happen very often but the code is still there, now I have to smog this vehicle. I see on the internet there have been other people with this condition.

Regular driving on open road , no harsh conditions - power loss, without any warning - no engine lights or warnngs - sudden decelleration , jerky response more decelleration - limp off ramp , limp home. Turbo sounding whiny and different , no response to added pressing on gas , nor stop , restart. Has been evaluated at dealership many times and many problems corrected, paid for yet nothing works - regular maintenance is preformed on this vehicle , much care is taken by owner. Very dangerous condition will cause a wreck , can no longer endanger lives, we do everything the dealers ask and condition returns. Must evaluate at new dealership and whether or not can keep. I am getting post traumatic stress from this vehicle and it's lack of unreliable transport . I fear getting into the car for any distance - if I have to return to the bank , I must advise them not to re-sell liability reasons and inform them of chronic lemon problems in this model f250 6.0 ford truck .

While at a dead stop, placed truck in drive and the engine suddenly accelerated to full power lunging the vehicle forward 10' while I simultaneously applied both feet to the brake for maximum stopping power. This is the third time in two to three months this has happened. No check engine lights are on. Took my car to the local ford dealer and was told by the service manager that they have never heard of this problem before. Researched the internet only to find lots of other similar complaints. Originally thought it was human error, floor mat, or similar problem... But this last time, I was prepared because of previous incidents. This problem can cause a terrible accident and may even result in death.
