THE TURBO IN MY FORD PICKUP HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MY PICKUP IS A 2004 F250 WITH A TURBO DIESEL ENGINE . *TR

2004 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY, ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND ON DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 7 SEPARATE TIMES. ONCE AFTER RECALL DONE THUS RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. LEERY TO DRIVE NOW. LESS THAN 100 DRIVEN SINCE. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATES WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE TURBO ON THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO MOVE; IT WILL CREEP FORWARD BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. ALSO, IF YOU ARE PULLING WEIGHT WITH THE VEHICLE IT WILL ACTUALLY MOVE BACKWARDS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE TURBO AND THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THEN THE PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR. THEY ARE UNABLE TO COME UP WITH A REMEDY TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED TO HIM THE ONLY REPAIR IS TO CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE TURBO. *NM

THE VEHICLE WOULD RUN FOR A WHILE AND THEN STALL. THE DEALER HAS SERVICED THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE SENSORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. *JB

2004 FORD EXCURSION: THE ENGINE FAILS DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHICH ELIMINATES POWER BRAKES, STEERING. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS, WE WERE ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BY A 18 WHEELER, THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE EXITING A RAMP ON I-95 AT 55 MPH. I HAD TO PLACE THE TRUCK IN NUETRAL, BRAKE, TURN AND RESTART THE TRUCK WITHOUT FLIPPING OVER THE EDGE OF THE RAMP. THE ENGINE IDLES AT DIFFERENT RPMS, THE VEHICLE WILL JERK FORWARD WHILE BRAKING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS IN PARKING LOTS WITH PEDESTRIANS WALKING IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK.I ALMOST HIT AN ELDERLY WOMAN WALKING IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN TO BE AROUND THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE 04/2004. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE TRUCK FOUR TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS.THEY HAVE REPLACED DIFF SENSORS AND RE-CALIBRATED FUEL COMPUTER. *AK

2004 F250 KING RANCH. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK SINCE APRIL 8. AROUND THE MIDDLE OF JULY IT STARTED HESITATING AND STALLING. IT WOULD HESITATE WHILE GOING AT ANY SPEED, AT ANY TIME, WHETHER GOING DOWN THE ROAD OR SITTING STILL. WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING, IT WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER, AS IF YOU HAD TAKEN YOUR FOOT COMPLETELY OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WILL REGAIN POWER, AS IF YOU PUT YOUR FOOT BACK ON THE GAS PEDAL. SEVERAL OF THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE CALLS FOR CRASHES AND COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING IF NOT FOR OTHER ALERT DRIVERS. AFTER "REPAIRING" THE TRUCK THE FIRST TIME, I NO MORE THAN GOT IT HOME BEFORE IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. AFTER ORDERING SOME MORE PARTS AND "REPAIRING" THE TRUCK THE SECOND TIME, IT STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AFTER FIRST STARTING AND WHILE IDLING....

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONSUMER WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AT TRYING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. *JB

BOUGHT 2004 F250 CREW KING RANCH DIESEL IN JAN. 04. VEHICLE IDLES DOWN AND DIES WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED LIMIT. WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AT INTERSECTIONS OR STOP LIGHTS VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN. WHILE ACCELERATING VEHICLE WILL DIE, THEN RESTART AND LUNGE FORWARD WITH ACCELERATION. HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE. FORD MOTOR HAS BEEN UNCOOPERATIVE TO ANY OF MY CALLS TO CONSUMER RELATIONS. DEALERSHIP IS DOING THEIR BEST, FORD WILL NOT ADMIT PROBLEMS WITH THIS ENGINE AND SYSTEM.
