2004 Ford F-350 Engine Problems

While driving at 40-50 MPH the vehicle will lose power and then then stalls while moving leading to loss of power. The loss power of affects the power steering posing a direct threat for an auto collision due to the difficult in steering the moving vehicle into an emergency lane. Avoided several accidents with this truck. Once it is stalled it can take numerous times to restart the vehicle. This issue seems to occur more on slopes going up hill. This does not seem to occur as often going downhill or on areas with no incline. Currently vehicle has 126,931.8 miles on it. Regularly serviced and otherwise running fine.

WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW TO TOW OUR 5TH WHEEL. AT 16,000 MILES THE TURBO WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW AT 31,412 MILES, AGAIN, THE TURBO HAD TO BE REPLACED BUT THIS TIME AT OUR EXPENSE. THIS SECOND TURBO RUSTED AND WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. OUR TRUCK HAS HAD ALL OF THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE DONE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME/MILEAGE. IT HAS NEVER HAD ANY AFTER MARKET EQUIPMENT USED ON IT OR HAS IT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS BECAUSE OF THE POORLY ENGINEERED AND DESIGNED ENGINE/EGR SYSTEM. IT PUTS MOISTURE INTO THE TURBO WITHOUT A METHOD TO REMOVE IT. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND STAND BEHIND THIS ENGINE THAT THEY CONTRACTED INTERNATIONAL TO ENGINEER, DESIGN, AND BUILD FOR THEM. WE IMPLORE NHTSA TO STEP UP AND HOLD FORD RESPONSIBLE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR PRODUCT WITH RECALLS TO FIX THE INHERENT PROBLEMS THAT THIS ENGINE AND VEHICLE PRESENT. *JS
