Filed May 27, 2019 · Transmission · 116,000 miles · CA

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.

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.

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.
