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.

Engine stalled without warning driving in traffic while weaving in and out of traffic trying to avoid hitting other vehicles or them hitiing me. A dangerous, intense moment trying to get my truck off the road with no power steering or power brakes. This truck may or may or m ay not start. No crank/no start, no start/cranks, no start/bucking and stalling engine. These issues relate to the injector wiring harness due to chaffing and crushing, a very time consuming task. Technician verified the harness is worn and wires are exposed. Past ford customers refer to the violent shaking that while driving this truck as the "death wobble." an intense moment.this is a risk concerning vehicle safety. This is not protecting consumers against unreasonable risks of accidents occuring. The tires on my truck are michelins. They are the size recommended by ford for this vehicle. Customer service was contacted twice. Both replys were the same.there are no warrenties, recalls or programs in effect that would provide coverage for your current concern. Keep receipts, etc. Fords presentation to- ford identified a number of potential failures mechanisms that could effect engine performance in this vehicle population including the wiring conditions addressed by the federal safety agency. 05v‑270.

The 2005 ford f250 pickup trucks has an issue while filling vehicle with fuel. The fuel shoots out of gas tank fill inlet during the fueling process. This problem will happen with the fuel gauge registering empty, half, or near full. I have had gas shoot all over me and other people time and time again. I have been instructed to not get gas in that truck at every gas station near my home. I have to drive across town to get gas. As soon as they notice fuel spilling out of my truck, I will be banned from their stations too. There are 8 gas stations within 5 blocks that have banned me. It costs me approx. $4 to go get fuel, even though there is a station 1 block away. I contacted ford customer service many times. They claim it isn't a recall issue. I researched the ford executives company email addresses and sent emails to them. The email addresses were still valid and not returned. The emails made it to those executives but they never responded. I explained that the fuel spillage is causing a huge safety concern and may kill me or someone else. I explained that the problem may cause an explosion at a store. The ford motor service professionals have told me that the filter in the tank has gone bad. I have made the costly repair 4 times since may of 2008. It works well for a few months and then the gas shoots out again. On one of those instances, the fuel spilled out, and I finished fueling and pulled to the front of the store to report the spillage. Someone drove up in that spot smoking a cigarette and caused a fire from the fuel spilled at the pump. I was banned from that store as well. I have to either pay for a costly gas tank fuel filter replacement, get banned from stores for honestly reporting the spillage, or fuel up and drive away from the store before someone notices that I spilled fuel. I don't like doing any of those things. Ford doesn't care.
