THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN JULY 2011. I OWN AND BOUGHT NEW, A 2004 F-250 SUPER DUTY CREW CAB FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK WITH A 6.0 LITER ENGINE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH HARD COLD STARTS. WHEN IT DID START AFTER THREE TO FOUR ATTEMPTS, THE ENGINE RAN EXTREMELY ROUGH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, IT WOULD EVENTUALLY LEVEL OFF. THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THE ENGINE WOULD START AND STOP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. BUT AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT, THE TRUCK WOULD BE HARD TO START. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. ON THE EVENING OF AUGUST 11, 2011, AFTER THE ENGINE WAS OFF FOR ONLY THREE HOURS, IT WAS HARD TO START. THE ENGINE WOULD LOPE, IT WOULD NOT LEVEL OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND BLEW BLACK SMOKE OUT THE EXHAUST. EVENTUALLY, IT DID LEVEL OFF AND DROVE HOME. I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO START IT UP AGAIN UNTIL THE MORNING OF AUGUST FIFTEEN. IT WOULD NOT START. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, IT CRANKED, ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO START, THEN BACK TO JUST CRANKING. I ATTEMPTED SEVEN TIMES AND STOPPED CONCERNED I WOULD DRAIN THE BATTERY, DAMAGE THE STARTER, OR SOME OTHER PART. I CONTACTED THE DEALER. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THEIR SERVICE CENTER. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE FICM (FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE) AND WAS GOING TO COST ME $1,300 TO FIX. THIS IS OUR ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION, SO I RELUCTANTLY GAVE THEM THE GO AHEAD TO FIX IT. THE DAY IT WENT IN FOR SERVICE IT ONLY HAD 55,079 MILES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD. I HESITATED IN SWITCHING TO DIESEL, BUT AFTER RESEARCHING AND LISTENING TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES ABOUT THE LOWER FUEL COSTS, LOWER MAINTENENCE, HIGHER PERFORMANCE, I SWITCHED. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT IN ONLY SEVEN YEARS, I'M HAVING TO SPEND OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE A PART THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. POOR DESIGN OR POOR QUALITY? AMERICAN MADE CARS AND TRUCKS USED TO BE BUILT TO OUTLAST THEIR OWNERS. THIS EVENT HAS QUESTIONED MY TRUST IN THE "BUILT FORD TOUGH" STATEMENT. RECALL SHOULD BE THE WORD FOR THIS SITUATION.*KB

ABOUT 9/15/2010 THE VEHICLE, WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN LIGHT CHANGED AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE TRUCK THEN STALLED AND TOOK UP TO 5 MINUTES TO RESTART. THE INCIDENT DID NOT REPEAT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE NEXT INCIDENT THE TRUCK FAILED TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING TO NEAR STOP AT A YIELD AT A HIGHWAY CROSSING NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. REPLACED FUEL FILTER AND HAD A TUNE UP ALTHOUGH IT HAD RECENTLY BEEN DONE AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS. AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF HARD DRIVING WITH NO INCIDENCE THE TRUCK AGAIN FAILED TO ACCELERATE ON HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP NEARLY CAUSING ANOTHER ACCIDENT. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY FINE, BUT STALLED WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY. THE LATEST INCIDENT, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK DROVE FINE, UNTIL EXITING. IT FAILED TO RESPOND TO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL AND STALLED LEAVING A WOMAN AND CHILD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 2 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW. DURING THAT TIME IT WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK, THEY STATED THEY PULLED CODES SHOWING FUEL INJECTOR WAS BAD, EGR VALVE STICKING, NEEDS SOME SORT OF WIRING HARNESS, TURBO NEEDS CLEANING AND SOME SORT OF CHIP TOTAL COST OVER $2000.

THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS IDENTICAL TO THIS AND THE REMEDY WAS IDENTICAL HOWEVER, IT COST ME $350.00 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT A MONTH TO LATE OR TO EARLY, NOT SURE. *TR

MY 2004 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY TRUCK RAN VERY ROUGH AND STALLED IN MY FRONT YARD; AND WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN. ON OCTOBER 5 2009, I HAD PURCHASED IT PRE-OWNED FROM DEALER, WILLIAM MIZELL FORD, ON CONDITIONS AND THAT THEY AGREED TO PROVIDE A CARFAX REPORT.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING VERY FREQUENTLY, ALMOST EVERY TIME ITS DRIVEN. VERY DANGEROUS TO LOSE POWER WHILE OPERATING. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO A DEALER WHO IS INSTALLING NEW PARTS, WHICH ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL OF THIS EXACT MAKE, MODEL, YEAR. WE WERE INFORMED BY FORD, THAT OUR TRUCK WAS EXCLUDED DUE TO BEING PRODUCED IN THE MONTH PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEGIN DATE. RECALL IS ON 2004 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 6.0 DIESEL, MY TRUCK EXACTLY. EVERYTHING STATED IN THE RECALL IS THE SAME. SAME PROBLEM, SAME ANSWER. IT IS COSTING AROUND $1600.00 FOR THE REPAIRS. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 05V270000. OBVIOUSLY THIS RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE A LARGER NUMBER OF VEHICLES. *TR
PULLING OUT ONTO HIGHWAY AND ENGINE LOSES POWER AND SOMETIMES STALLS. THIS CONDITION WAS OCCASIONAL BUT NOW IS CONSTANT. WHEN I PULL ONTO A ROADWAY AND IT STALLS, CARS HAVE TO BRAKE TO KEEP FROM CRASHING. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A MANUFACTURER/SPONSORED RECALL BUT WHEN I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE A RECALL LISTED. *TR
