Filed Oct 26, 2019 · Fuel system · 107,000 miles · OH

Vehicle randomly dies while driving down road does not matter speed or what road you are on happens to the point we almost expect it now everytime we drive. It will act fine no warning then in middle of driving it just shuts off very dangerous. It also, will randomly loss power not all the time but occasionally if going over 45mph, the A/C works until you drive over 45mph then just stops until you get to a stop sign. Take off again its fine til that 45mph mark then blows hot. Had truck since sept. 2018 & have had the problem since at least 1 out of 4x driving this will all happen. Truck also has problems with fueling up the tank it shuts the pump off constantly. Main problem & most worrisome is the shutting off randomly while driving.

While driving my truck it has stopped running and just shut itself off like its not getting fuel. I have read the complaints on the f250 super duty and my truck is responding exactly the same way. I am afraid to drive it due to someone hitting me or it causing an accident so I looked on here today and saw the recall for the super duty. This is a serious and dangerous issue that someone definitely needs to address. I was driving down the road and the vehicle lost power and I tried to push the pedal to get fuel but nothing happened. I am very lucky the vehicle behind me was back far enough that I turned on my flashers and they noticed or I could have caused an accident or worse.

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 .

The fuel injection control module (ficm) failed on my truck, causing the engine to not start or run. This is a very common component failure for the 6.0l diesel engine. If it fails when the vehicle is being driven, it could cause loss of control, loss of power steering, loss of braking capability. Ford must be aware of the common failure of this component, yet no recall to replace these faulty modules has been issued. In the interest of public safety, I request that ford be required to replace all existing ficm's on the 6.0l diesel engine with one of better quality, and reimburse all owners of these vehicles that have already paid the excessive repair costs, commonly over $1000, to have their failed ficm's replaced.

Own a 2005 ford f250 with a 6.0 diesel engine. The 6.0 diesel has a factory defect with the egr value cooler inside the engine rupturing sending coolant into the engine and thru the exhaust into the atmosphere. This should be a recall due to a factory defect. Ford is repairing this problem if it occurs when the vehicle is still under warranty but allowing the consumer to burden the expense if their warranties have expired. The estimated cost is $2600.00 to $3300.00. Ford has redesigned the egr value & cooler to handle the pressure better with thicker walls. The ford dealership has advised that this is a problem that will happen due to the cooler walls being to thin and rupturing under pressure. The end result is a sudden lost of power with possible steering & brake issues in controlling the vehicle. In our family we have purchased 4 of the f250's. I have pictures of the event as it happens and a copy of the repairs needed to fix this problem. I have spoke with kristin berry with your agency and receive an e mail of my complaint but I could not make the necessary changes to the form and resent it. The reference # 10305746.
