Ford F Super Duty stalling problems

Filed Apr 30, 2017 · Engine · FL

My truck has 101k miles on it and it just started stalling out while driving( on streets and highways), also while just idling it stalls(stationary). I took it to my local ford for them to hook it up on their computer to see what the problem is. After hours there and it stalling out and not restarting they couldn't tell what was wrong with it and charged me $125. As I was leaving they said change your maf sensor and #8 coil and it'll be fine. So, I did just that in the parking lot and it still does the same thing. It stalled out many times on my way home. I thought by taking it to the ford dealership (the people that have all the answers for their products) I would get it fixed. And make my truck safe again. I was wrong. Is there something you can do to help me with this. Thanks

The truck stalled when I was going 70 mpg on the interstate in traffic and would not restart until it sat for 3 minutes.

Spark plug blew out while traveling on narrow mountain road causing engine to stall losing power steering. Steered into the mountain side to prevent head on collision. There have been several engine fires due to plug blowing out of cylinder head and fuel not properly burning.

On april 5, I was in he process of stopping for a stop sign, when the engine stopped running. I was able to restart the truck. I drove less than 2 miles, turned the truck off and it would not restart. I had truck towed to autonation ford in st. Petersburg fl. Mechanic not on duty, but monday (april 7, 2014), service department called and said nothing showed up on their computer check, and was starting fine after a minor adjustment. I picked up the truck, drove less than 2 miles, when it stalled as I was in the process of coming to a stop, while my speed was about 30 MPH. Lost power steering but was able to maintain control. I was able to restart truck and returned to dealer. Told them I did not think I should have to pay for a second diagnostic test, since they had failed to find or fix the problem. On april 10, dealer called said they could not reproduce the problem and said it could be egr dirty or turbo boost. Since I had noticed turbo was not kicking in properly during acceleration from a stop, I told them to do both but to take off the $155 they had charged me for diagnosis. They agreed and my truck was returned to me on april 12, 2014. On april 13, the truck stalled when coming to a stop for a traffic signal. Lost power steering but was able to maintain control. Less than a mile later when slowing to make a turn, engine shutdown and I lost power steering. I was barely able to miss striking a house at the intersection. Truck stalled twice during the next 2 mile trip. I think this is a very dangerous problem and it is not being addressed by ford or it's dealer. Please investigate. *tr updated 10/2/2014

This truck has been an issue from the time we bought it. We have contacted ford multiple times and their response is "keep your receipts just in case." we have replaced the turbos both high and low end twice and they are starting to act up again. Traveling 60 MPH down the road you lose all turbo pressure causing you to lose power. You have to pull over shut the truck off and re-crank it. The truck shuts off while driving without throwing a check engine light. The belt tensioner has separated coming down the highway shutting off complete power at 60 MPH. About every 3rd time of filling up with diesel fuel we have to drain the water separator. When the regen system kicks in tremendous amount of diesel fumes come in to the truck causing headaches with extreme lose of power. White smoke coming out of the tail pipe. The stock rim split on the driver front tire and the dealership wanted $1300.00 for one rim when a whole set of aftermarket rims are hundreds of dollars cheaper. Both front calipers have locked up at different occasions towing 1,000 lb trailer and one just driving down the road.all seals are leaking. Radiator is leaking. Rocker arms are tapping and cost $1700 to replace coming from a certified ford mechanic. We have had 3 dealerships tell us they don't want the truck and refuse to go look at it because of the motor. Its ashame the truck was a $55,000 truck brand new. 2 years old it valued at $40,000 and 2 years after its at $17,000 resale. Steering is all over the place when hitting seems or ruts in the road making the truck hard to control and very unsafe. This is by far the worst vehicle we have ever owned. Ford should be ashamed of putting such a unsafe vehicle on the road and not doing anything to help the customers that have wasted $55,000. Would you trust your kids in this vehicle? There has been 5 ford dealers tell us they don't even want it. 6.4l=junk.

Tl*- the contact owns a1997 ford f super duty. He received a recall notice on the camshaft position sensor, which can cause engine stalling. He had been experiencing that problem whenever he approached lower speeds in his vehicle. He took the vehicle to the dealership they replaced the sensor with a newer and non-defected sensor. After they replaced the sensor the vehicle would not start. They tried several sensors and none of them would start the engine. The mechanic then placed the old sensor back into the vehicle and the engine was able to turn on. The mechanic told him to bring the vehicle back in the following day. When he took the vehicle back in the next day, they replaced the sensor once again and the vehicle would not start. They placed the older sensor back into the vehicle and he was able to drive away. Minutes after driving away the check engine light started to come on and off randomly in the vehicle, which is a problem not previously experienced. He took the vehicle back into the dealership and they were not able to repair the problem. The current and failure mileage was 287,000. Updated 04/23/08

2000 ford excursion with 7.3 power stroke diesel. Sudden stall of engine while driving. No warning, just quit while driving causing loss of power steering and power brakes which are necessary for adequate control of a vehicle of this size. Replacement of the camshaft position solved the problem. To date, and 260,000 miles on the vehicle, this sensor has failed three times. I now carry a spare sensor, and know how to replace it.

My 2001 ford f-350 7.3 l power stroke diesel has been experiencing stalling, missing,cutting out, etc for about 6-8 months. The truck was taken to capitol frd in santa fe, nm on june 7, 2005 and picked up on june 11, 2005. The service technicians replaced a "relay" of some sort not knowing what the problem really was.(by their own admission).the truck still stalls, misses and cuts out. I do not want to continue taking my truck in for experiments to determine the cause of the problem. They are very nice and try to help but I cannot afford to buy fuel for them to recreate the problem. The last time was 4 days and 15 gallons of fuel. The truck has died while in motion on at least 6 different occasions and numerous times sitting at stop lights. When it dies in motion, I lose power steering and power brakes. Please help!!!
