NHTSA Complaint #10068077 — 2003 FORD E550

I BOUGHT A 2003 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY WITH A 6.0 L DIESEL 5/2003. SINCE THE PURCHASE, THERE IS A NOTICABLE LACK OF POWER BELOW 1800 RPMS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONTINUALLY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, BUT ON THE MOST RECENT VISIT, I WAS ADVISED ALL OF THE 6 LITER MOTORS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY ADVISED FORD HAS NOT PROVIDED A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. A CLOSE FRIEND RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2004 6 LITER MOTOR AND IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HESITATES AT THE START OF ACCELERATION AND HAS PLACED ME IN SEVERAL COMPRIMISING POSITIONS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN I START FROM A STOP. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WHICH OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.
