Sudden loss of power by model year
What owners say
Aug 1, 2014 fuel injection failure, due to fuel injection wire harness chafing. Sept 15 fuel injection failure due to ficm failure resulting in severe loss of power. Vehicle barely moves, strong possibility of crash due to vehicles unexpected sudden loss of power and inability to move. Incidents closely relate to recall 05v270000 for vehicle manufactured close to same dates. Believe that recall should be reopened and extended to include all 6.0 diesel engines.
Towing up a grade at about 35 MPH loss all power. Updated 11/24/2014
Merged on to mcfarland blvd. With south bound traffic truck lost power could not control vehicle other traffic almost ran into the truck.had truck towed to diesel shop.columbus diesel service found paint chips in filter removed fuel tank ,coating of the tank was coming off and entering the fuel system this is the factory tank that came with the truck..
White heavy spoke, loss of power, performance, engine stalled on major highway an extremely dangerous situation. Dealer stated not ford or their problem. Charges close to $1,500 to repair. Dealer claims failed egr valve.
My 2005 f350 has a fuel failure and when I took it to the dealer they said that 5 injectors had failed and I needed they blame it on biofuel, I have only used on road diesel and I have owned this truck since it had 25,000 miles on it. At this point it is $6000 to repair and of course there is no warranty on it. This is a major concern because this truck carries extreme loads at high speeds and a fuel failure at 65 or 70 will cause you to lose power steering and braking ability. When you are carrying a backhoe and have a trailer that weighs 6000lbs the total weight of the whole rig is right at 35,000 pounds. That is enough to take out at least 6 or 7 cars that have stopped in front of you. This needs to be fixed asap.
I own a 2009 f-350 super duty power stroke diesel 6.0l. At approx. 30,000 miles the truck would have episodes of running rough maybe once every 50miles. I brought it to my mechanic who replaced the fuel filters and thought I might have gotten some bad diesel. Less than 1,000 miles later the truck ran much worse . It would begin running rough , losing power and sometimes stall. Once it occured as I was pulling on to a fast moving highway and I almost caused an accident bacause I could not accelerate. These episodes would occur once every ten miles and very quickly started occuring every mile. To make a long and expensive story short the protective coating on the inside of the fuel tank was peeling off and clogging fuel delivery. This problem is extremely common I have come to find out . My truck was just past its warranty period so I had no choice but to purchase another tank from ford with no assurance it won't happen again. This is clearly poor and defective craftsmanship and dangerous.
Tl*- the contact owns a 2005 ford f-350. While driving at 25-30 MPH the vehicle lost power. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealership and the dealership remedied the issue by replacing the high pressure cup link on the injector activation system. The contact found numerous complaints online about the fuel system on this year make and model vehicle. The contact feels this was a major safety issue because the vehicle could crash into another vehicle if all the power is lost. The current mileage was 112,000 and failure 99,000.
While on I-95, my 2005 f-350 super-duty sputter and lost power. The truck went from 60mph with flow of traffic to 40mph in seconds. Making evasive measure from getting tag from behind, I was forced to the shoulder of the road which was taking up by snow. The truck crawled half on shoulder and half in the right lane while cars made there evasive action in order to miss me. After getting to a place to pull off the highway it took about 5-10min for it to clear up. The dealer informed me that the fuel tank was deteriorating and proceeded to ask me about my fuel and were I get it, because it must be contaminated. I also own three other diesel trucks a 1995, 1996 and 2000 and they all run on the same fuel from the same gas station. But yet all these tanks are find. The dealer wants to replace this tank at my cost with a new one. After reading all the complaints on other web sites, this problem will unmask it self again down the road. At this time I will probably bring the truck home until I can come up with a solution.
The driver of the vehicle was driving on the road when it started to slow down and was losing power. The 2005 ford f350 diesel truck stalled in traffic and would not run. It was towed to a location where the fuel filters were changed. This did not correct the problem. It was towed to the ford dealer, who stated that the fuel tank had delaminated and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. Ford claimed that bio diesel caused the problem. Bio diesel is not sold in nj. The truck never goes out of state. The stalling in traffic is a safety hazard for all drivers. The truck is only 3 years old and has only 25,500 miles.
