I have a 2005 ford f-350 with approximately 50,000 miles on it. Over the past 4 months my truck has been not starting after it has been driven and occasionally stalling while being driven. I have had the cam sensor, crank sensor, & fuel sending unit all replaced to no avail. I brought it to the ford dealer and they were unable to "reproduce the not starting", told me to change all filters to ford brand and change the oil. After spending $350 on just filters the truck is still broken, I can not drive it. There is a campaign for this problem #05v270000, unfortunately ford says they can not fix my vehicle because my VIN# was not included. I had a friend look at my truck who has a computer to look up the codes, while the truck is plugged in. He reproduced the not starting while the computer was plugged in and the code came up for the ficm which is what the recall from the federal safety agency is for. I went to the dealer and was told basically to bad. The truck will not start after being driven on a daily basis. Because of the safety concerns with the truck leaving me stranded or even worse stalling while I drive it and causing an accident, I do not drive the truck. Ford should be responsible for fixing these problems.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 ford f-350 sd. When attempting to start the vehicle, it would not start. While driving at various speeds, the contact noticed white smoke. She took the vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions, but they could not determine the cause of the failures. The VIN was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign id number 05v270000 (electrical system:wiring); therefore, she would have to replace the fuel injection control module at the cost of $1,133.52. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 69,000 and current mileage was 119,000.

I have a 2005 ford f350 superduty and on several occasions I have been driving down the road and have gone over blemishes in the highway and it has caused a violent shaking in the front end. It has gotten so bad at points that it almost caused a severe accident which might have involved many. This has happened on many occasions and I have to slow down and stop before it subsides. I have been to several dealers and they all say that they have a quick fix but nothing seems to work. Everytime I have tried to fix the problem I have paid for it out of my own pocket. I have spoekn with many for superduty owners that have had this problem and they all say the same thing. This is not only a problem for the driver of the vehicle but also for others on the road as well. Do people need to start dying before there is a service recall to fix the problem. Ford didn't start replacing tires on trucks and SUV's before so many people died in care crashes. This is a severe problem and needs to be addressed. There should be no call for paying for and being financially locked into a $50,000 vehicle that could be considered a death trap. This problem exists in all models of the ford superduty and ford still produces these and sells them to consumers and doesn't fix them.
