2005 Ford F-350 Complaint Log

THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WAS LOSING POWER. THE 2005 FORD F350 DIESEL TRUCK STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT RUN. IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCATION WHERE THE FUEL FILTERS WERE CHANGED. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT WAS TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD DELAMINATED AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FORD CLAIMED THAT BIO DIESEL CAUSED THE PROBLEM. BIO DIESEL IS NOT SOLD IN NJ. THE TRUCK NEVER GOES OUT OF STATE. THE STALLING IN TRAFFIC IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL DRIVERS. THE TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 25,500 MILES. *TR

DT: THE CONTACT STATES THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN HAULING A TRAILER. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE BRAKES INSPECTED. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH VOLTAGE GOING TO THE BRAKES TO MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP. THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW BRAIN BOX WITH EIGHT VOLTS INSTEAD OF THREE AND ONE HALF VOLTS. THE REPAIRS WILL BE MADE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. *AK

I BOUGHT MY TRUCK IN FEBRUARY 2005 W/ LESS THAN 150 MILES. MY FIRST MAJOR COMPLAINT WITH THE TRUCK IS THE AWLFUL SMELL (EXHAUST) THAT ENTERS THAT CABIN WHEN THE TRUCK IS RUNNING. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IT HAS NEVER HAD THAT "NEW" TRUCK SMELL. THE SECOND MAJOR COMPLAINT WITH THE TRUCK, IS THE DEAD SPOT IN THE ACCELORATOR PEDAL. IF YOU NEED TO SPEED UP QUICKLY, IT CAN'T BE DONE. YOU HIT A DEAD SPOT IN THE ACCELORATOR WHERE YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER! IF I NEEDED TO SPEED UP TO PASS SOMEONE, ETC., I CAN'T DO IT. I AM FRUSTRATED WITH MY TRUCK AND I DO NOT ENJOY DRIVING IT.

ON JULY 4, 2005, I PURCHASED A 2005 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY LARIAT WITH LONG BED AND DUAL WHEELS AND 4WD AT EL CAJON FORD. FROM THE BEGINNING, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED SEVERE FRONT-END VIBRATION WHEN I REACHED ABOUT 60 MPH. IT CONTINUED UNTIL I GOT TO ABOUT 80 MPH. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST VISIT FOR SERVICE AT DOWNEY FORD. AFTER A FEW VISITS FOR DIAGNOSTICS, DOWNEY FORD INSTALLED A "DAMPENER" ON THE FRONT END. IT MADE THE PROBLEM BETTER, BUT IT DID NOT COMPLETELY CURE THE DEFECT. I EVENTUALLY BOUGHT A LANCE CAMPER, WHICH WAS ON THE TRUCK FOR OVER A YEAR. WHILE THE TRUCK HAD THE 3000 LB CAMPER ON IT, THE VIBRATION WENT AWAY ON THE STRAIGHTAWAY, BUT WAS HORRIBLY DANGEROUS ON THE CURVES. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE SUCH CURVE IS THE 605 SB TO THE 405 SB IN LONG BEACH. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE/CAMPER ON THIS CURVE UNLESS I ALMOST STOPPED. I REMOVED THE CAMPER ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK IS WORSE. IT NOW WILL VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY AT 40-50 MPH. I REPORTED THIS VIBRATION PROBLEM EVERY TIME I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY ALWAYS SAID THEY DID ALL THEY COULD WITH THE DAMPENER. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO EL CAJON FORD ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS AGO. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, FORD NOW SAYS IT CAN FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS DAMAGE THE FRONT STEERING MECHANISM. THE SERVICE WRITER SAID IN A VOICE MAIL THAT DOWNEY PUT ON A DAMPER THAT WAS TOO SMALL FOR MY TRUCK. I DEMANDED THEY FIX IT FREE AND THEY REFUSE. I WANT MY TRUCK FIXED. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT, SINCE IT HAS EXISTED FROM DAY 1. I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL WEBSITES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT EXISTED WELL BEFORE 2005, BUT FORD HAS IGNORED THE SAFETY ISSUES. A HIGH PROBABILITY OF AN ACCIDENT EXISTS WHEN YOUR TRUCK IS VIBRATING AND BOUNCING ACROSS LANES AND YOU CANNOT STEP ON THE BRAKE OR MAKE IT WORSE! THANK YOU, ANNETTE GILLIAM *TR

DT: CONSUMER REPORTS: HE BOUGHT A 2005 F-350 AND HE GOT A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL. HE CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPT. TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY REFUSED TO SCHEDULE HIM AN APPT. THEY REFUSED TO SCHEDULE AN APPT. WITH HIM. THE RECALL LETTER WAS CONCERNING THE FUEL JUMPER LINE. *JB

2005 F350 WITH THE TOW COMMAND OPTION. NO TRAILER BRAKES BELOW 20 MPH. FORD HAS SINCE UPDATED THEIR CONTROL UNIT TO A MARCH VERSION WHICH HAS ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. FORD REFUSES TO UP DATE THE EARLY TRUCKS UNLESS THE OWNER PAYS FOR THE NEW CONTROL UNIT AND INSTALLATION. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. I BARELY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT THIS PAST SUMMER, WHILE PULLING MY 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. I NEEDED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND DID NOT HAVE TRAILER BRAKES. *NM

FRONT END SHIMMY ON FORD F350 4X4 CREW CAB DULLY, PRODUCTION YEAR 2005. AT ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE. THE FEED BACK THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL TRIES TO SHAKE THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF THE DRIVERS HANDS. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE FRONT STABILIZER SHOCK CHANGED, THE LEFT SIDE DRAG LINK CHANGED AND THE FRONT END RE-ALIGNED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUING SINCE THE VEHICLE AS HAD APPROX 40,000 MILES. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS 90K. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE SHIMMY IS CAUSED BY THE TIRE PRESSURE, TIRES WORN, FRONT END WEAR, ECT. *TR

DT: CALLER SAYS VEHICLE HAD NO POWER, AND WAS BOILING ALL THE COOLANT OUT OF THE ENGINE. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY COULD AND COULD NOT FIND WHA WAS WRONG WITH VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER SAID THE SAME THING, AND THOSE THEY WOULD GIVE HIM ANOTHER VEHICLE IF HE PAID $5900.00. *AK

DT: THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 FORD F350. THE BRAKES FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. ONCE WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING SHE WENT TO SLOW DOWN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE CONSUMER SAID THAT THE ONLY WAY SHE COULD KEEP FROM HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS TO HONK THE HORN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP 10 TIMES, AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER 3 TIMES. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT SINCE SHE HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT LEAST 25 DAYS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO ASSIST HER. SHE FELT THAT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED OFF AND ON. WHEN SHE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THEY GAVE HER A HARD TIME. THEY HAVE NOT HELPED HER AT ALL. THEY TOLD THE DEALER THAT THEY WOULD NOT BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER USED THE VEHICLE FOR BUSINESS, AND BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE PROBLEM IT HAS CAUSED HER TO LOSE A LOT OF BUSINESS. SHE KEPT LEAVING THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER, AND COULD NOT USE IT FOR DAYS AT A TIME. ALSO, THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. *AK

FIRST INCIDENT: ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR LET OFF THE GAS FAST. ALTHOUGH INTERMITTENT THIS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS CAUSES VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER FOR REPAIR AND PER THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HOTLINE THEY "REMOVE BATT. & AIR CLEANER TO ACESS WIRE HARNESS TO CHECK FOR CHAFING NONE FOUND AT THIS TIME PER HOT LINE REPORT # 5EYE7001"

I HAVE A 2005 FORD F-350 PICK UP TRUCK. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH SEVERE VIBRATIONS SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT THIS "SHIMMY" PROBLEM. THE LETTER RECOMMENDS MAINTAINING TIRE PRESSURE. TODATE THAT HAS NOT RESOLVED MY PROBLEM. AT ONE POINT, I REPLACED ALL THE TIRES ON THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER (THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE WAY THEY WERE WEARING) BUT WITH NEW TIRES AND THE PROPER INFLATION, THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. AS YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM, I THINK YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT THE SOLE CAUSE AS IT HAS NOT FIXED MY VEHICLE. *TR

DT: 2005 FORD F350. THE CONSUMER STATED AT 1000 MILES IT BLEW THE TURBO HOSE. AT 2800 MILES IT BLEW THE HEAD GASKETS AND RUINED THE HEADS. AT 3000 MILES THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THE DEALERSHIP DID PUT NEW ITEMS ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY WERE NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. AT 5000 MILES THE ENGINE LOCKED AND SOMETHING WAS FIXED, BUT FORD STATED THEY DID NOT KNOW WHETHER IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS NOT JUST WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED HE OWNED THE VEHICLE ONLY 4 MONTHS AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 24 DAYS. *AK THE VEHICLE USES 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. *NM

THE BRAKE FAILED TO ENGAGE WHILE COMING DOWN AN INCLINE AT 5 MPH ON A SNOW SURFACE ROAD WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED TO THE TRUCK. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO RUN INTO THE TRAILER WHILE COMING DOWN THE INCLINE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED.*AK

2005 FORD F350 6.0 DIESEL - STRONG EXHAUST TYPE ODOR COMING THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN EITHER THE AIR, HEAT, OR DEFROST IS ON AND THE TRUCK ISN'T MOVING. I READ HUNDREDS OF INTERNET POSTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND SO FAR HAVE YET TO SEE ANYONE GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED, INCLUDING MYSELF. I'M FEARFUL THAT THIS ODOR IS A SEVER SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

DEALER/SERVICE TOOK PHOTOS OF WINDOWS AND SUBMITTED TO FORD AND FORD DENIED CLAIM TO REPLACE OR REPAIR WINDOWS.*AK

FORD LARIAT F350 DIESEL DUALLY TRUCK 2005 HFCM DRAIN VALVE PROBLEM. *BF THE CONSUMER ALSO DISCOVERED THEE WAS NO HEATER CORD TO KEEP THE ENGINE WARM. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER WAS AN OPTION. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONSUMER THERE WAS INDEED AN ENGINE HEATER ELEMENT PLUG INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS NO WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IN THE POSITION INDICATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS AN OPTION, BUT ACTUALLY STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER PURCHASED THE WIRING HARNESS AND INSTALLED IT HIMSELF. *JB

TO BRUCE YORK AND RICHARD BOYD I AM SO THANKFUL SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS SITUATION WITH THIS STEERING PROBLEM FAR EXCEEDS ANYTHING FORD IS WILLING TO ADMIT. MY CASE; I HAVE OWNED MY 2005 FORD F-350 KING RANCH 4X4, VIN #, SENSE FEBRUARY 11, 2005. THIS TRUCK HAS EARNED ITS TWO NICKNAMES, RHUBARB EXPRESS AND #!*% PIECE OF #@^%$. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE FOR OUR FAMILY. MY WIFE AND I CAN'T BEGIN TO COUNT HOW MANY TIMES THIS TRUCK HAS GONE OUT OF CONTROL AND LEFT US IN THE DITCH. WE HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THIS TRUCK NEARLY EVERY TIME EITHER ONE OF US HAS DRIVEN IT. TYPICAL SITUATION, WE ARE DRIVING ALONG THE FREEWAY AT A SAFE SPEED. WE MIGHT FEEL A LITTLE BUMP ON THE ROAD THEN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHIMMY THEN BEGINS TO PULL FROM YOUR HANDS IN A HARD SHIMMY. FROM THE TIME YOU HIT THE BUMP TO THE TIME THE TRUCK IS RIPPING YOUR HANDS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL IS LESS THE 2 SECONDS. THE OSCILLATIONS ARE MORE THE 90 DEGREES FROM SIDE TO SIDE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THESE OSCILLATIONS WILL CONTINUE FROM YOUR ORIGINAL DRIVING SPEED UNTIL THE TRUCK IS BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS USUALLY MEANS DRIVING OFF THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY OR ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER. ON MANY OCCASIONS THERE IS NO SHOULDER AND WE HAVE STOPPED IN THE ROAD. ON OTHER OCCASIONS WE HAVE HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AS THERE WERE SEMI TRUCKS IN THE SLOW LANE. I MEAN 65 TO 0 MILES AN HOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOS ANGELES FREEWAY! WE ALSO HAVE COUNTLESS MEMORIES OF SLIDING TO A STOP IN THE RHUBARB, DUST FLYING, OFF THE EDGE OF THE FREEWAY. ALL WHILE CALLING FORD AND BEGGING THEM TO FIX IT! WE HAD THIS TRUCK IN THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

FORD LOOKED AT TRUCK ON 2/4; SAID THEY REPROGRAMED PCM. BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AGAIN ON 3/2 AND DEALER SERVICE SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. TRUCK DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 3000 MILES YET.*AK

A VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE CONSUMER AND HE SWERVED CAUSING DEEP RUTS IN THE YARD. *JB

WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING AND THE A/C,HEATER OR DEFROST IS ON THERE IS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST COMING THRU THE VENTS OFTEN TIMES ENOUGH TO MAKE A PERSON LIGHT HEADED AND DIZZY. I SPOKE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.
