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.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 ford f-250 super duty. While driving at approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle stalled; however, it continued to move forward until it crashed. A police report was not filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was told that the fuel injector control module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was also notified and stated that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number 05v266000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 53,568 and the current mileage was 54,568.
While driving down the highway at 70 MPH, my 2005 ford f-250 diesel truck engine suddenly died. I had to wrestle with the truck to get it stopped and pulled over to the side of the road. I had no steering when the truck engine stalled suddenly and had trouble getting it stopped. I was towed home as the truck would not restart. We then towed it to the dealership for repairs on july 26th, and it has been there until today, saturday, august 7th, 2010. The dealership replaced the high pressure oil pump at over $1200.00. Even though the truck had 62,000 miles, it had just gone over 5 years old. We were told this is a big problem with ford diesels and the ford engineers are telling consumers that they aren't changing the oil enough. I consistently changed the oil in that truck every 5000 miles with delo 400 as I was told to do. There needs to be an investigation of fords high pressure pumps and the amount of money consumers are having to pay for repairs because of this defective part. I asked to have the high pressure pump that was removed from my truck, and I was told that he had to send it back to ford because it had a very expensive core. I'm sure they did not want me to have the evidence.
2005 ford f-250. Consumer states engine failure *tgw the consumer stated the engine failure nearly caused an accident, when it shut down on a major highway. Subsequently, the consumer also experienced a failure with the fuel injection control module. After having the fuel injection control module replaced, the check engine light illuminated after leaving the dealership. The check engine light illuminated due to a failed egr valve. The consumer was also informed the alternator was spiking, and needed to be replaced as well as the egr cooler and head gaskets.
My 2005 ford f-250 superduty 6.0l diesel, first incident was may of 2007, at 16,000 miles my turbo charger went bad when I was trailering my horses in vermont, forced to stop at unknown dealership who "cleaned" something so I would make it back to my home. Again on the drive home I lost the turbo. It had to be replaced at the dealership, columbia ford, ct the next day. I was told I had to drive my truck hard and everyday in order to prevent the problem from occurring again. In march 2010 brought my truck to monaco ford, the motor had to be removed due to "all of the gaskets and seals in the motor leaking, as well as the turbo charger being bad again. This occurred at 24,500 miles. The side walls of my tires are peeling, the running board on the drivers side is falling off, and the body side molding is coming off and now at 26,000 miles the air position selector for the climate control system is not working. If I put it in a position for venting or for front and floor I just blows through the defrost vents. Obviously the warranty has passed with the exception of the motor and I have 26,500 miles on this truck.
My 2005 ford f-250 6.0l diesel lost acceleration onto a highway. It stalled and started billowing white smoke from the exhaust. After a few moments it slowly accelerated, but nearly caused an accident as cars ran up onto us. The engine was missing and we made it to an intersection to pull off of highway. We stopped and restarted the engine and it started running normally. However, it happened again once we were on the road. We made it to the dealership where they diagnosed the problem as a failed "ficm fuel injector control module." this has been reported to them multiple times, but a recall has not been issued for this model. I did find reference to a recall (ford recall no. 05s34) of the exact nature on a different year model. I called ford and they would not reimburse the cost of the part and labor of $1100.
