2003 FORD F-350 SD Electrical Systemwiring Problems

2003 FORD F-350 DIESEL STALLING. VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. CONDITION STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST 7000 MILES. DEALER SEEMED TO REMEDY AS THE CONDITION NEVER RECURRED UNTIL 37K MILES; NOW, 42K MILES. COMMENCED STALLING IN FEB 2006 AND HAS STALLED 6 TIMES FROM FEB 2006 TO AUGUST 2006. THE SECOND TIME IT STALLED, WE WERE IN FREEZING RAIN IN 4X4 DRIVING MY WIFE TO WORK (SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE IN THOSE CONDITIONS) THE VEHICLE STALLED ON TOP OF TALL BRIDGE 300 FT OVER THE WILLAMETTE RIVER IN ICE CONDITIONS. LOST STEERING, HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE STILL MOVING AND RE-START THE VEHICLE TO RE-GAIN CONTROL. NORMALLY, THE VEHICLE SIMPLY STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND WHILE THIS IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION, I'VE MANAGED TO RE-START WITHOUT INCIDENT. DEALER/FORD HAS BEEN EXCRUCIATING RELUCTANT TO REMEDY. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE RECALLED 180,000 2004-2005 VEHICLES UNDER RECALL 05V27000 7/22/05 FOR...

2003 FORD F350 CREW CAB TRUCK WITH 6.0 DIESEL POWERED ENGINE LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. CAUSE: FUSE #22 BLOWS AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN.

WIRING HARNESS MELTED, HAD TO BE REPLACED. DEALER AT FIRST ATTEMPTED TO SAY IT WAS A LOOSE OIL CAP THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, THEN AFTER A WEEK FOR REPAIR SIMPLY SAID THE WIRING HARNESS MELTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS IN SHOP OVER AT 4,000 MILES, BECAUSE THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL CAP FELL OFF OF THE VEHICLE, AND IT LOST ALL OF ITS OIL, NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE SHOP FOR INJECTORS, FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX THE TRUCK. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY IT IS A FAULTY PRODUCT, IT HAS LOST ALL OF ITS OIL ONCE, ITS PARTS WERE MELTED, WHICH SAYS TO ME UNSAFE. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION ON A RECALL FOR THE ENGINE. MY FATHER WAS DRIVING IT TO THE SHOP WHEN THE RADIO WAS GOING IN AND OUT, HE THOUGHT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. WHILE IT MELTED...

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. CONSUMER PLUGGED THE FRONT VEHICLE HEATER IN AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE. LATER, THE DOG STARTED TO BARK. CONSUMER LOOKED OUT, AND THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.*AK
