2004 FORD F250 SD 6.0L SPUTTERS, LUNGES & DIES OUT WHEN IDLE, WAITING IN TRAFFIC OR DRIVING SLOWLY. LUCKILY, IT'S BEEN STARTING RIGHT BACK UP. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING QUITE OFTEN LATELY. LOOKED UP POSSIBLE CAUSES AND FOUND RECALL 05V270000 FROM 2005, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT ISSUE I AM HAVING. CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE ZERO RECALLS PERTAINING TO THIS TRUCK AND THAT THAT PARTICULAR RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY TRUCK. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT VEHICLE AND HOW THIS ISSUE HADN'T BEEN COVERED UNDER SAID RECALL. I HAVE THE NHTSA RECALL NO EA05003, BUT IT HAS TIMED OUT AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ON THIS SITE. PLEASE REALIZE THAT ALL THESE SAME VEHICLE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE AND IT ISN'T BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY FORD OR THE NHTSA.

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. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER.

WE PURCHASED A 2004 F250 TURBO DIESEL FROM MIKE BROWN FORD ON MAY 29, 2004 AND THE NIGHTMARE BEGAN. THE FIRST PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP WIRED THE KEYLESS ENTRY INCORRECTLY AND HAD TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS. AFTER THAT THE TRUCK BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SURGING,AND DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER 9 TIMES, EXCHANGED THE EGR VALUES TWICE, THEY HAVE SLIPPED THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AND ALL TYPES OF REPROGRAMMED ON THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS ON THIS VEHICLE.. TO DATE THE TRUCK RUNS EXTREMELY BAD. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE, AND IS EXTREMELY SCARED OF THIS TRUCK, DO TO THE FACT THAT IT SURGES AND LOSES VACUUM AND SHOVES HER INTO INTERSECTIONS AT RED LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER TIMES SHE APPLIES THE BRAKES. THE VARIOUS FORD DEALERSHIPS ARE NO HELP THEY CONSTANTLY REPROGRAM AND RELEASE THE VEHICLE . NO MORE OR LESS THAN 5000 MILES THE VEHICLE STARTS IT AGAIN. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, SEEING HOW YOU NEVER NO WHEN IT WILL DIE, OR SURGE . WE FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER TO ANYONE WHO COMES IN CONTACT WITH .*AK

THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW ON 10/31/03 AND IMMEDIATELY WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE SURGING AND RUNNING ROUGH. THE DEALER TRIED 3 TIMES AND THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HISTORY OF OUR PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK: ON 8/23/04, ENGINE IDLE LOW AND RUNS ROUGH AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE EBP SENSOR. ON 9/2/04, THE DEALER AGAIN REPLACED THE EBP SENSOR AND THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO RUN ROUGH AND SURGE DURING IDLE. ON 9/9/04, WE SPOKE WITH THE MECHANTIC TO TELL HIM WE WERE STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK ON 1/4/05, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. THE TRUCK FINALLY STARTED AND WE TOOK IT TO AUTO WAY FORD AND WAS KEPT THERE FOR 7 DAYS. THEY REPLACED THE INJECTOR HARNESS SSM18226. ON 1/24/05, THE ENGINE AGAIN SHUT OFF AND WAS TOWED TO AUTO WAY FORD. THEY WERE TOLD BY THE FORD ENGINEERS TO DO A "WIRE WIGGLE TEST". THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BUT KEPT IT FOR 12 DAYS. THE TECH REFERRED THE PROBLEM TO GEORGE S., THE SERVICE MANAGER. ON 2/7/05, TRUCK AGAIN DIED AND HAD TO BE OWED TO AUTO WAY FORD. THE REPLACED THE FICM AND CLEARED THE MODULES. THEY HAD THE TRUCK 8 DAYS. BASED ON THE PAST HISTORY, WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE IN TAKING THE TRUCK FOR LONG DISTANCES. ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE WE'RE ON AN INTERSTATE OR A BUSY ROAD. WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED THAT EVEN THOUGH WE HAD IDLE PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY WITH THE TRUCK, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL THE TRUCK WAS AROUND A YEAR OLD WITH ONLY 19,115 MILES. THE RELIABILITY AND SAFETY OF THIS TRUCK IS OBVIOUSLY QUESTIONABLE.
