Electrical system fails every day. It affects the engine, transmission, radio, windows, gauges. Wiring issue causes the radio to just go out, windows stop working, all gauges stops working, the transmission doesn't shift right, engine doesn't run right. Yes vehicle is available for inspecting. Engine cuts off and won't start back, leaves you stranded side the road. Truck stalls in front of other vehicles. Windows won't roll down when it's 100 degrees inside truck. Fuel gauge doesn't let you know when there's no fuel again leaving you stranded beside the road. Other gauge don't work could cause more damage. Yes it has been inspected my mechanic and he said there are wiring issues. No warning lamps or anything now but the wrench light has came on allot. There is a wiring recall on this year truck but said mine doesn't fall under that recall and I don't know why because I'm having this issue

Wrench light comes on, but truck goes into limp loses power very dangerous don't know if it's going to cause me to be rear-ended, steering goes back and forth right to left can't hardly hold it in road

The back bed rails rot/rust very quickly and trying to buy new beds run 4500$ along with o2 sensors ir intake sensors go out of blue no reasoning let alone the power steering lines rusting very very quickly

MY 2005 FORD F-250 SUPERDUTY 6.0L DIESEL, FIRST INCIDENT WAS MAY OF 2007, AT 16,000 MILES MY TURBO CHARGER WENT BAD WHEN I WAS TRAILERING MY HORSES IN VERMONT, FORCED TO STOP AT UNKNOWN DEALERSHIP WHO "CLEANED" SOMETHING SO I WOULD MAKE IT BACK TO MY HOME. AGAIN ON THE DRIVE HOME I LOST THE TURBO. IT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP, COLUMBIA FORD, CT THE NEXT DAY. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO DRIVE MY TRUCK HARD AND EVERYDAY IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING AGAIN. IN MARCH 2010 BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MONACO FORD, THE MOTOR HAD TO BE REMOVED DUE TO "ALL OF THE GASKETS AND SEALS IN THE MOTOR LEAKING, AS WELL AS THE TURBO CHARGER BEING BAD AGAIN. THIS OCCURRED AT 24,500 MILES. THE SIDE WALLS OF MY TIRES ARE PEELING, THE RUNNING BOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS FALLING OFF, AND THE BODY SIDE MOLDING IS COMING OFF AND NOW AT 26,000 MILES THE AIR POSITION SELECTOR FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. IF I PUT IT IN A POSITION FOR VENTING OR FOR FRONT AND FLOOR I JUST BLOWS THROUGH THE DEFROST VENTS. OBVIOUSLY THE WARRANTY HAS PASSED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MOTOR AND I HAVE 26,500 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. *TR
