Electrical system fails every day. It affects the engine, transmission, radio, windows, gauges. Wiring issue causes the radio to just go out, windows stop working, all gauges stops working, the transmission doesn't shift right, engine doesn't run right. Yes vehicle is available for inspecting. Engine cuts off and won't start back, leaves you stranded side the road. Truck stalls in front of other vehicles. Windows won't roll down when it's 100 degrees inside truck. Fuel gauge doesn't let you know when there's no fuel again leaving you stranded beside the road. Other gauge don't work could cause more damage. Yes it has been inspected my mechanic and he said there are wiring issues. No warning lamps or anything now but the wrench light has came on allot. There is a wiring recall on this year truck but said mine doesn't fall under that recall and I don't know why because...
Wrench light comes on, but truck goes into limp loses power very dangerous don't know if it's going to cause me to be rear-ended, steering goes back and forth right to left can't hardly hold it in road
Transmission has a hole in it. Linkage inside broke and caused hole on case. Can’t use item for a core due to this. Happened while driving home from just across town.
ON DECELERATION THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER DRIVEN FOR 10-15 MINUTES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I DON'T NOTICE THE STALL UNTIL I APPLY THE GAS PEDAL. A COUPLE OF TIMES I WAS TURNING, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN SEVERELY TO GIVE ME MORE TIME TO TURN( NO POWER STEERING). I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. THE CODE WAS A THROTTLE BODY CODE P2104.I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE STALLING OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS. AT THIS TIME THE STALLING HASN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN BUT THE CODE IS STILL THERE, NOW I HAVE TO SMOG THIS VEHICLE. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS CONDITION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PLACED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC (BOLAN TRANSMISSION SHOP) WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
NOTICED A CLOUD OF SMOKE BEHIND VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY. UPON INSPECTION FOUND IT WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM HOLE IN TOP OF TRANSMISSION ONTO EXHAUST (EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN FORD BULLETIN 05B27) HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AT 57,265 MILES AT A COST OF $4,000.00. FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY IT.
REGULAR DRIVING ON OPEN ROAD , NO HARSH CONDITIONS - POWER LOSS, WITHOUT ANY WARNING - NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR WARNNGS - SUDDEN DECELLERATION , JERKY RESPONSE MORE DECELLERATION - LIMP OFF RAMP , LIMP HOME. TURBO SOUNDING WHINY AND DIFFERENT , NO RESPONSE TO ADDED PRESSING ON GAS , NOR STOP , RESTART. HAS BEEN EVALUATED AT DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND MANY PROBLEMS CORRECTED, PAID FOR YET NOTHING WORKS - REGULAR MAINTENANCE IS PREFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE , MUCH CARE IS TAKEN BY OWNER. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WILL CAUSE A WRECK , CAN NO LONGER ENDANGER LIVES, WE DO EVERYTHING THE DEALERS ASK AND CONDITION RETURNS. MUST EVALUATE AT NEW DEALERSHIP AND WHETHER OR NOT CAN KEEP. I AM GETTING POST TRAUMATIC STRESS FROM THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S LACK OF UNRELIABLE TRANSPORT . I FEAR GETTING INTO THE CAR FOR ANY DISTANCE - IF I HAVE TO RETURN TO...
WHILE AT A DEAD STOP, PLACED TRUCK IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO FULL POWER LUNGING THE VEHICLE FORWARD 10' WHILE I SIMULTANEOUSLY APPLIED BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE FOR MAXIMUM STOPPING POWER. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN TWO TO THREE MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPENED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON. TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. RESEARCHED THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND LOTS OF OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS HUMAN ERROR, FLOOR MAT, OR SIMILAR PROBLEM... BUT THIS LAST TIME, I WAS PREPARED BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS INCIDENTS. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AND MAY EVEN RESULT IN DEATH. *TR
MY 2005 FORD F-250 SUPERDUTY 6.0L DIESEL, FIRST INCIDENT WAS MAY OF 2007, AT 16,000 MILES MY TURBO CHARGER WENT BAD WHEN I WAS TRAILERING MY HORSES IN VERMONT, FORCED TO STOP AT UNKNOWN DEALERSHIP WHO "CLEANED" SOMETHING SO I WOULD MAKE IT BACK TO MY HOME. AGAIN ON THE DRIVE HOME I LOST THE TURBO. IT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP, COLUMBIA FORD, CT THE NEXT DAY. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO DRIVE MY TRUCK HARD AND EVERYDAY IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING AGAIN.
