Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 49 of 49, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dt: the contact stated that a turbo charger failure resulted in a blown head gasket. There have been no parts repaired or replaced at this time. The vehicle is currently at the dealer service waiting for repair. The problem is not covered under warranty. The vehicle started smoking and when inspecting the vehicle the turbo charger problem was discovered. *ak the consumer was being denied repairs under warranty. He was told the reason he experienced problems with his truck was due to the after markets parts installed on the vehicle. Updated 12/07/05.
Dt: the caller says truck sometimes loses power. There is no warning that it is going to happen every time. The caller said that sometimes the engine light would come on, and then vehicle would lose power, and sometimes the light would not come on when he lost power. It happens at any speed and when sitting still. Truck has been to dealer 5 times and they could not find the cause of the problem. He recently had recall work done on the wiring harness. After 170 miles the truck continued to lose power. The caller had an appointment next tuesday with dealer. Manufacturer said to keep bringing it in. *ak the vehicle has been taken to the dealer eight times for the same problem. The last time it was there they replaced the turbo and reprogrammed the computer.
Dt: the vehicle stops in the middle of the road without warning. The vehicle has been seen by the dealer 30 or 40 times. The more the vehicle is worked on by the dealer the worse the problem becomes. After vehicles quits it will not start for a few minutes. Then when it starts it smokes. The dealer did recall repair the wiring harness. Also, repairs were made to transmission, radiator, wiring harness, turbo hose, and reprogrammed the computer. All these repairs have not fixed the problem. The dealer last instructed the owner to wait until it quit and then they would tow it to the dealer. The vehicle had this quitting problem from the time it was new. There were never any lights or warning before the vehicle dies. The last problem occurred about twenty minutes ago, and at this time the vehicle was not taken to the dealer.
I have a 2004 ford f350 and a f250 both have the 6.0l diesel engine. There is a real problem with the fuel injectors and turbo and possibly the fuel pump according to the dealer. Both trucks load up and start to run very rought the only way to stop the situation is to floor the throttle intill it clears up producing an extremely amount of black smog. Several times the trucks have stalled while driving leaving us without power brakes and steering. Ret urn trips to the nearest dealer have not been a good experince they tell us that because there are so many 6.0l diesels with the same problem ford is slapping them on thier hands for fixing these problems with the driviability warrenty. I left the dealer not sure where to turn the trucks are not fixed and this conditions do create a hazard. The dealer even told me they had a whole fleet of school buses with the same problem they were fixing so the problem is not just my problem they know of the problem and even know of the solution without even looking but it appears ford is holding the dealers hostage and leaving the customers with a hazardous vechicle. I feel this is not a driviablity warrenty but a serious recall issue. Thanks for any help you can do with this
We purchased 4, 2004 f-350 ford diesel 6.0 liter ambulance conversions. All 4 vehicles are having reoccurring engine failures. The problems began on some of the vehicles at low mileage. The dealer continues to "patch" the engine problem. I have communicated with several other ambulance services and have found that they are having the same problems. The failure of these engines while transporting critical patients creats a very risky and dangerous situation for the patients and a hugh liability issue for the paramedics and our company.last night another engine failed while transporting an 18 year old with a broken neck to a higher level hospital. The delivery of the patient was delayed unnecessarily because another ambulance service had to be called and waited on to get to my crew to transport the patient. This happens almost each time I sent one of these ambulances on a trip. Not only is the patient placed in danger, but my company is quickly getting an unfavorably reputation because of these breakdowns. This is costing us business. My paramedics are refusing to drive these vehicles because of the risk of liability that they may have knowing the mechanical history of these vehicles. All of the trucks are still under the 100,000 mile warranty. Ford has shown no interest in helping us with this issue. Even if the engines make it to 100,000 miles , I know that they will not last much past that. Please look into this. We are paying good money out each month for vehicles that will not do the job . The georgia lemon law does not apply to us . Help!
Dt: the contact states 2004 f-350 6.0 diesel truck has low oil pressure. A very short time after buying the car it started having low power and shut down. Also, head gasket failure. This was the fifth time that vehicle shut down on the highway or on curves in a mountain road within 6 months. The dealer told him the problem was fixed, but it kept happening. The dealers replaced the fuel injectors, but more of them go out.
I have a 2004 f350 superduty with 6800 miles, it stalls and loses power every time I drive it. While pulling into traffic recently it stalled and almost caused several wrecks. Ford has tried to fix this problem three times with no luck.I also know sevreal other ford superduty's with the same problem.one of these stalled pulling into traffic , but no wreck.my ford service demartment has not fixed any of these trucks
There have been approximately 15 incidentas were the vehicle has stalled, while being driven or when attempting to stop at a stop sign or turn. The vehiclehas two methods of stalling - the first method is be idling very rough - as if miss firing on a cylinder/ timing issues where it blows black smoke. The second method is if you are stopped with your foot hopefully on the brake - the vehicle will rev up and lurch forward - if on the brake it will sometimes then stall. The vehicle has been to the shop at least 4 times - with multiple incidents per visit, the shop had replaced the egr valve and had reprogrammed the PCM everytime in the shop. Which takes me back to lousy fuel economy and has not yet fixed the problem. I am not happy.
