TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F250. THE CONTACT STATED THE EGR VALVE COOLER RUPTURED AND WAS LEAKING ANTIFREEZE THROUGH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FORD MANUFACTURER ADVISED THEM TO STOP REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THE ESTIMATED COST WAS $2600. THERE WERE NO VALID WARRANTIES OR RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I HAVE A 2005 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY WHICH I BOUGHT IN JULY OF 2005 (OWN IT FOR 27 MONTHS) BRAND NEW. RECENTLY (3 MONTHS AGO) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT THEY RESET THE COMPUTER. AT THAT TIME MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN LAST WEEK AND ONCE AGAIN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS 40000 MILE AND IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD (36000). THEY ARE NOW TELLING ME THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS MAJOR REPAIR AND THAT IT WILL NEED $2600 DOLLARS WORTH OF REPAIR AND IT COULD BE MORE ONCE THEY TAKE THE ENGINE APART. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FILE A COMPLAINT SINCE THE TRUCK IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND I DON'T USE IT...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE SHAKING WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

5/13/06 I CAME HOME FROM ABOUT A 75 MILE DRIVE, PULLING A HORSE TRAILER IN MY 2005 F250 6.0 POWER STROKE. I WENT IN THE HOUSE AND LESS THAN 10 MINUTES LATER, MY GIRLFRIEND ASKED WHY IS YOUR TRUCK STEAMING? I COULD TELL IT WAS SMOKE. I WAS ABLE TO GET A FEW ITEMS OUT AND NOTICED THE PAINT BUBBLING ON THE HOOD. I UNHOOKED THE TRAILER AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE TRUCK ABOUT 100 FEET, LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. A TOTAL LOSS. IT HAD LESS THAN 8000 MILES. I HAD TOOLS, TOOLBOX, CAR SEAT, AND OVER $2800 IN TIRES WHEELS AND LIFT THAT WERE 2 MONTHS OLD. I HAD FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE. THEY OFFERED ME $12000 LESS THAN A NEW TRUCK, AND THAT INCLUDED THE REST OF MY PROPERTY. TODAY I TALKED TO SOMEONE THAT LIVES 20 MILES FROM ME,...

BLOWN SPARK PLUG. TRASHED HEAD. TRUCK IS UNDRIVABLE. *NM

STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE REVS UP TO 1500 RPM"S FOR 2 OR 3 MINUTES. THIS SHOULD NOT OCCUR AT AN OUTSIDE TEMP OF 80 TO 85 DEGREES. MY DEALER SAYS THE PCM CANNOT BE RE CALIBRATED AND FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *NM

2005 FORD F-250 LURCHED FORWARD AT HIGH SPEED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR THE TRUCK ALSO STALLED ONCE WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH.
