2006 FORD F-350 SD Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL FAILURES OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL COMPUTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHAMALEY FORD (11301 GATEWAY BLVD W, EL PASO, TX 79936) WHERE THE TURBO, GLOW PLUGS, HEAD GASKETS, AND THE COMPUTER WERE REPLACED. DESPITE THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START-UP AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 109,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND WAS ORIGINALLY VERY PLEASED. SUDDENLY WE ARE NOW EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE AS OTHER HAVE DESCRIBED. THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN YOU ARE APPROACHING THE SPEED OF 60MPH. WE DO NOT HAVE TO HIT A BUMP FOR IT TO HAPPEN. THE OTHER COMPLAINT, IS THAT WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR THE YEAR, RAN GREAT, LOOKED GREAT, VERY PLEASED UNTIL THIS LAST MONTH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SEEMS TO SPUTTER. PUT SOME HIGH QUALITY FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER IN THE TRUCK, THINKING IT MAY BE A INJECTOR STICKING. NOPE, DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. LIGHT NEVER WENT OFF. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY TESTED IT AND CAME BACK WITH YOUR FUEL TANK IS DETERIORATING PUTTING LITTLE METAL SHARDS IN YOUR ENGINE. YOU ARE LOOKING AT A POTENTIAL FULL...

2003-2006 FORD F350 DIESEL WITH 6.0 HAVE A CHAIN OF ISSUES, BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. THE OIL COOLER FAILS, THEN THE EGR SYSTEM FAILS, FINALLY HEAD GASKETS FAIL. AND TO FIX IT, THE CAB HAS T COME OFF AND IT COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. FORD FIX YOUR ISSUE. *TR

THIS YEAR ALONG WITH OTHER YEARS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE EGR VALVE AND TURBO. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A DEAL WHERE FORD HAD TO REPAIR EMERGENCY VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT A NORMAL EVERYDAY CONSUMER. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ENGINE BLOWING HEAD GASKETS AND EGR VALVE ISSUES WHICH MAKES THE TRUCK SUDDENLY HAVE LOSE OF POWER WHEN DRIVING ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES AS SMOKING AND ENGINE LIGHTS GOING ON. AS YOU CAN READ ON LINE EVERYONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM IS REALLY FRUSTRATED AND FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS ENGINE. THE DIESEL TRUCK SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AT 79000 MILES. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD THINK A DECISION HAD BEEN MADE TO PUT THIS ENGINE IN TRUCKS KNOWING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WOULD STAND BEHIND IT. I GUESS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED YET...
