The truck started to stall on several occasions as I was attempting to get up to road speed of 55 MPH. The truck was losing speed, jerking and black smoke coming out of the exhaust. There were no indications of engine failure to warn me of any problems, ie. Engine light. This occurred on more than once, causing potential traffic hazard. The cam sensor and fuel injection control module needed to be replaced. The repair costs involved were high thank goodness there were no injuries or accidents due to the stalling. Thank you,

I purchased a used ford f350 super duty 4x4 truck on 11-18-2005, from butler ford in medford or. Since this purchase I have had repeated problems with the turbocharger system on this truck (check engine light on, egr valve,eec &egr , mass air flo sensor, hoses blowing off turbo charger) I have taken this truck to be repaired many times at multiple ford dealerships across the united states ( I was on a vacation, and had continual problems with the hoses blowing off the turbocharger) at the last repair attempt I was told that ford motor co. Was replacing turbochargers on these trucks. I had the turbocharger replaced and had the truck about 1 week when the check engine light came on again , I returned the truck to the dealer repair shop(300.00 in fees again!) when the truck was returned to me I took a trip, approximately 400 miles and again the check engine light is on. Each time this check engine light comes on I have problems with the hoses connecting the turbocharger to the engine manifold blowing off, the truck looses power stranding me on the road. I have had to replace the hoses on my own to continue driving this truck. The last incident I had with this problem I was almost hit by a logging truck while trying to direct traffic around my disabled truck, the trucker who almost hit me called the oregon state police and I was told to remove the truck from the highway or I would receive a citation for having an unsafe vehicle . I have tried to resolve this problem with ford motor co. Customer relations center .when I contact them they tell me there is nothing they can do about this problem even though this truck was still under warranty when it was purchased and has had repeated repair attempts for the same problem.
