Owner reports

Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2004 Ford F-250 SD owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).

Driving on the highway , complete loss of throttle but the engine was still running at a low amperage. Was able to pull off the road and turned it off. It wouldn't start back up right away. Had to wait a while it would start and limped it home. No problems for a few days, then it started acting up again. A couple times it would start, but at a low idle with no response of the gas peddle. The final straw was last week. I was driving on the highway to work. Each time I came to a stop, it would lose throttle. I was able to turn it off and back on to get going. Then at a major intersection of hwy 41 and 145, it wouldn't turn back on and I was in the middle of the hwy. I had to push it to the side of the road and it would turn but not start. …

My truck started to stall intermittently, I've had it to the dealer to have numerous repairs performed. I saw NHTSA campaign number: 05V270000 which references Ford recall no. 05s34. I called to inquire at west brothers Ford in sullivan mo. And was told my truck has no recalls. I called Ford customer service and the first person said the recall expired and my truck was no longer under warranty. The second person said my truck wasn't affected because the recall said "certain" vehicles. My truck falls in the manufacture dates listed on the recall, has the 6.0 engine and is stalling now. I have owned my truck since new and it has not had this work performed on it. I would like an explanation of what "certain" vehicles apply to this recall and why mine doesn't. I would also like my truck fixed or reimbursed by Ford, unless they can show why my truck doesn't need the work done. …

Takara recall I was driving down the freeway when the check engine light came on I all the sudden had a loss of power and it was like the motor was sputtering like it had a misfire after that it's very hard to start and barely moves it comes up with multiple injector codes that all failed at the same time some high some low

Dt: consumer had has recall work done on 2004 Ford f250 super duty. The first recall was in April on the turbo bracket. Dealership put the bracket on the turbo charger on the top of the engine. Dealership did not tighten the hose back, and all the oil leaked out. The second recall was on the rear planetary that was mandatory recall. The dealer tried to fix this, but the owner was not satisfied with the repair work. He said that the vehicle vibrated to badly. The next recall was the fuel control module, the dealer repaired the vehicle, and currently the truck was dying in the middle of the road after it warmed up. Consumer talked to the dealership where he originally bought the truck, and they could not work on the truck because consumer had work done somewhere else. Consumer talked to a regional manager, who said that the truck was operating normally. …

We own a Ford f-250 super duty with a 6.0 diesel motor with a 100,000 mile warranty. Twice during that period, I reported that the motor was very noisy when starting on a cold morning. Finally at 99,987 miles the local dealer acknowledges that 5 injectors need replacing and & Ford will replace them as soon as I prove when every oil change was made. They specifically mentioned bills & receipts. After a few weeks gathering oil change information, a service advisor suggests taking it to the selling dealer, as they would be more disposed to fix the truck. The other service advisor says that they don't want to keep the work order open any more. The selling dealer couldn't help. After a lengthy process I get to the appropriate person at Ford who accepts my personal notes on the oil changes. …

While driving at speeds between 40 and 65 MPH, the vehicle will suddenly stall. Fuel light engine preheat warning lights will come on. If the cruise control and/or tow haul are in use at the time of the stall, they are shut off at the same time. Engine can usually be restarted; on a few occasions it has been necessary to turn on the emergency flashers and attempt to get out of traffic. This creates a hazardous situation when driving on interstate highways. The stalling has occurred when the vehicle has no load and also when pulling a light weight fifth wheel camper. We have taken the vehicle to 2 local Ford dealerships, they have replaced parts (accelerator pedal, & a "fuel management module) but have been unsuccessful in correcting the problem and claim to be unaware of any history of problems with this model vehicle.

My 2004 Ford f250 super duty crew-cab truck accelerates and decelerates spontaneously on its own while I am driving at a uniform speed. This can persist for a number of miles before abating. The engine just begins to rev up and then down for no apparent reason. When stopped at a traffic light, with my foot only on the brake, the truck suddenly accelerates and lurches forward. I tried putting it in park while at the traffic light, but it died when I did so. The truck is used for trail fcor two large horses, and should it spontaneously accelerate or completely stop while trailering on the freeway, the results could be disastrous. This significant safety issue is what prompts my complaint to the NHTSA. We took the truck to our Ford dealership mechanic, and he said that Ford has had a number of similar complaints.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 f-250 super duty diesel. The vehicle stalled and accelerated while sitting at a stop sign. When approaching a stop sign and applying the brakes the vehicle continued to move forward. A few days ago the contact attempted to stop the vehicle while a pedestrian was walking in front of it and the vehicle failed to stop. The failure mileage was 20,000. This failure occurred daily. The weather was not a factor. One month after purchasing the vehicle he noticed vibration on the front end of the vehicle. The contact received a second opinion from a dealer, and they informed him that the fuel injection needed to be replaced. The repairs were performed at no cost to the contact due to the warranty. The current vehicle mileage was 51,000.

My 2004 Ford f250 super duty diesel had its turbo replaced in May 2005-it has been in and out of the dealership's garage on and off for the last year, stalling out at various speeds, we can not tow anything with out it blowing black smoke and cutting out. I am 1000 miles from the initial warranty the mechanic's have not fixed the problem I located a NHTSA recall which describes the problem to the tee. Ford motor company representatives told me that my vehicle's VIN wasn't included in the recall so I have to pay out of my pocket for the correction. Even though I am still under warranty, and the consequences of summary states: if the engine stalls, a crash could occur. Which could endanger my family and possibly someone else.

I have a problem when my f250 diesel runs at 1200-1500rpm, the engine seems to shutter and loads up. It sometimes seems to start to stall out and lose power. The dealer has had the vehicle in their service department six times and can not find the problem. They have changes the exhaust sensor and remap the computer with no luck. They have test driven the truck and had the problem occur. The vehicle is becoming dangerous to drive because of the lose of power in traffic. I have had a couple of close rearend collisons becasue of the problem. Nothing has been done to correct the problem. The dealer can not find the problem and has advised me to keep driving it at my risk. Hoping to find a fault code.
