I BOUGHT THIS 2004 FORD F-250,6.0 DIESEL IN MAY 2010 WITH 160K MILES ON IT BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE TOLD ME TO BUY A DIESEL IT WOULD GIVE ME BETTER PERFORMANCE THAN GAS. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLES EVER SINCE. IT STARTED NOT STARTING ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE FORD HOUSE IS NO HELP AT ALL. IVE HAD IT THERE SEVERAL TIMES AND ALL IT DONE WAS COST ME MONEY. IT HAS NEVER STOPPED RUNNING DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS IV'E READ. BUT IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED 50 OR 75 TIMES, SOMETIMES IT WILL RUN PERFECT FOR MONTHS AND ALL AT ONCE IT WONT START. SHOWING NO CODES FORD SAYS THEY CANT DO A THING.

I PAID $50,000 FOR A TRUCK WITH A PREMIUM TO GET A DIESEL THAT IS SUPPOSE TO LAST FOREVER, AND IT DOES NOT EVEN LAST MORE THAN 63,000 MILES. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO FACE THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE HAD TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEARCH BLOWN HEAD GASKETS FORD F250 ON GOOGLE TO FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE EXTREMELY HOT EXHAUST GASES GET RECIRCULATION INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, BUT FIRST IT HAS TO BE COOLED.

I HAVE A 2004 F 250 SUPER DUTY. I EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT OF THE SPARK PLUG ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE FIRST I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE PLUG BACK IN AND RE-THREAD THE PLUG. IT JUST RECENTLY BLEW OUT THE SECOND TIME WHICH WILL RESULT IN A GREATER REPAIR. I HAVE A MECHANIC WHOM I REGULARLY USE AND HE HAS STATED TO ME THAT HE IS AWARE OF NO LESS THAN TWENTY FIVE FORDS THAT HE HAS PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OR HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM FIRST HAND. THIS SHOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE A RECALL. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ENGINE FIRE. AT FIRST I BELIEVED THE NOISE WAS PROBABLY FROM A BLOWN EXHAUST GASKET. I WOULD HAVE NEVER IMAGINED THAT A SPARK PLUG WOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT OF MY ENGINE LET ALONE HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OR CONCERN THAT FUEL VAPOR IS BEING OPENLY SPRAYED INTO THE AIR. NOW I REALIZE THAT I ALSO PLACED MYSELF IN HARMS WAY PUTTING MYSELF UNDER THE HOOD TRYING TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE. WHAT IF THAT VAPOR HAD IGNITED WHILE I WAS PEEKING AROUND IN THE ENGINE? THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I DON'T CARE WHAT FORD SAYS OR WHAT SILLY EXCUSE THEY CAN MAKE FOR THIS. THERE IS SIMPLY NO REASON WHY A SPARK PLUG SHOULD BE BLOWING OUT OF AN ENGINE LIKE THIS. FOR WHATEVER INCOHERENT REASONING FORD CAN DERIVE IT IS MOST CERTAINLY IRRELEVANT. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM? WHAT RELEVANCE DOES SPLITTING HAIRS OVER THIS HAVE? NONE BECAUSE IT IS ALL SPECULATION. THE FACT IS THAT A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS CONDITION IS PRESENT AS A RESULT OF THIS AND THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE SUGGESTS IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AT THE LIABILITY OF FORD. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE TO BE BURNED OVER 80% OF THEIR BODY TO COME TO A CONCLUSION THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED? FURTHERMORE FORD HAS A POOR TRACK RECORD WITH RECALLS. I HAD A 93 F 250 RECALLED IN 2004 FOR THE DRAINING DOUBLE GAS TANK PROBLEM. FOR TEN YEARS I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND FORD FINALLY SENT ME A NOTICE FOR A RECALL IN 2004. WAS I SUPPOSE TO RECALL MY TRUCK FROM THE JUNK YARD?.. ITS A GREAT DISSERVICE TO FORD CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE CONTACT MUST PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AGAIN. HE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE HIMSELF WITH A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WAS FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ACCORDING TO A RECALL FOR THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THEY REFUSED TO INSPECT OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY REPAIRED FOR THAT FAILURE. ANY PARTS AND LABOR FEES WOULD HAVE TO BE COVERED BY THE CONTACT. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,930 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 143,984.

AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM YET FORD HAS NOT OFFERED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BLAMING IT ON MANY ISSUES THAT SIMPLY DO NOT MAKE SENSE. THE GOVERNMENT TO THIS POINT HAS ALSO NOT FORCED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WHICH I FIND VERY DISHEARTENING AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

SEVERAL ACQUAINTANCES HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM MORE THAN ONCE, IN SPITE OF FORD HAVING DONE THE REPAIRS. THE INCIDENT BELOW INVOLVES A FRIEND, NOT MY OWN EXPERIENCE.

I GET EXHAUST FUMES / DIESEL SMELL THROUGH MY VENTS. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AT 1500 MILES AND THEY REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. IT DIDN'T HELP. THEY SAID DRIVE IT, AND SEE IF IT GETS BETTER. I HAVE BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN 5 TIMES FOR THE SMELL, AND THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. FORD IS TELLING ME IT'S NORMAL. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY DO NOT GET THE FUMES COMING THROUGH THEIR VENTS. SOMETIMES THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG THAT MY EYES BURN. MY SON WILL SAY OPEN THE WINDOWS BECAUSE HIS EYES BURN FROM THE FUMES.*AK
