2005 FORD F-250 Power Train Problems

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

Transmission has a hole in it. Linkage inside broke and caused hole on case. Can’t use item for a core due to this. Happened while driving home from just across town.

ON DECELERATION THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER DRIVEN FOR 10-15 MINUTES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I DON'T NOTICE THE STALL UNTIL I APPLY THE GAS PEDAL. A COUPLE OF TIMES I WAS TURNING, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN SEVERELY TO GIVE ME MORE TIME TO TURN( NO POWER STEERING). I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. THE CODE WAS A THROTTLE BODY CODE P2104.I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE STALLING OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS. AT THIS TIME THE STALLING HASN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN BUT THE CODE IS STILL THERE, NOW I HAVE TO SMOG THIS VEHICLE. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS CONDITION.

WHILE AT A DEAD STOP, PLACED TRUCK IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO FULL POWER LUNGING THE VEHICLE FORWARD 10' WHILE I SIMULTANEOUSLY APPLIED BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE FOR MAXIMUM STOPPING POWER. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN TWO TO THREE MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPENED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON. TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. RESEARCHED THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND LOTS OF OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS HUMAN ERROR, FLOOR MAT, OR SIMILAR PROBLEM... BUT THIS LAST TIME, I WAS PREPARED BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS INCIDENTS. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AND MAY EVEN RESULT IN DEATH. *TR

2005 FORD F250 SD HAD CRACKED TRANSMISSION BECUASE OF LOW/REVERSE SNAP RING FAILURE IN THE 5R110 TORQSHIFT TRANSMISSION. FORD ISSUED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 05B27 BUT PUT AN EXPIRATION DATE ON IT. THE PROGRAM WAS NOT EVER FOR A WHOLE YEAR. FORD IS NOT WILLING TO REIMBURSE OR ISSUE A RECALL WHEN THEY KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM. THE SNAP RING FAILED INSIDE AND BUSTED MY TRANSMISSION.

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

A SNAP RING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION FAILS ALLOWING THE PLANET TO SHIFT FORWARD BREAKING HOUSING TABS OFF CAUSING A EXTERNAL LEAK OF TRANSMISSION FLUID TO OTHER VEHICLES DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD,NO WARNING A TRANSMISSION MAY LOCK UP CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS, FORD HAS RECOGNIZED THE SITUATION BEFORE AND SENT A INTERNAL NOTICE TO MECHANICS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, NO RECALL WAS EVER SENT. TRUCKS BETWEEN 90,000 AND 120,000 HAVE THIS PROBLEM, FORD SAID I WAS FIRST EVER COMPLAINT, WHICH IS A LIE, I HAVE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH EARLY 2004 THROUGH 2006 MODELS HAVE THIS PROBLEM OF FAILURE WITHOUT NOTICE. FORD HOPES FOR THESE TO GET PAST WARRANTY SO CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY A OUTRAGEOUS SUM TO FIX, SO FAR I HAVE FOUND 40 CASES RESULTING THIS SITUATION IN MY AREA ALONE AND MAINLY 9/10 ARE FORD F250S. I SEEN THE INTERNAL COMMUNICATION BUT WAS DENIED A COPY OF IT. MY SERVICE ADVISOR AT SILSBEE FORD SHOWED ME. ALSO THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND FORD DENIES EVER HAVING THIS PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS SHOWERED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID ALMOST RESULTING IN A CRASH BECAUSE IT SMEARED ON HER WINDSHIELD TO THE POINT THAT SHE COULD NOT SEE. NO WARNING ,SO SOUND, I DROVE ANOTHER 20 MILES BEFORE I NOTICED A MAJOR SLIP IN SHIFTING AND DISCOVERED A LEAK. THE TRANNY FLUID SPRAYED ALL OVER THE EXHAUST PIPE SMOKING AND A STENCH OF BURNING TRANNY FLUID. *TR
