Have taken it to a Ford dealer and they can not find the problem. They say it is not covered on recall 05V270000
This particular model and year with the 6.0 litre engine (2005 ) is nortorious for the oil cooler to blow up leaving you stranded wherever. When it happened to me I was pulling a 33ft 5th wheel trailer and almost wrecked. Ford knows all about this faulty piece of equipment yet doesn't recall it and should be held accountable for replacing it. It cost me $6000 to get my truck fixed. The faulty piece was installed by Ford and should be responsible by Ford for repair costs

While driving my truck it has stopped running and just shut itself off like its not getting fuel. I have read the complaints on the F250 Super Duty and my truck is responding exactly the same way. I am afraid to drive it due to someone hitting me or it causing an accident so I looked on here today and saw the recall for the Super Duty. This is a serious and dangerous issue that someone definitely needs to address. I was driving down the road and the vehicle lost power and I tried to push the pedal to get fuel but nothing happened. I am very lucky the vehicle behind me was back far enough that I turned on my flashers and they noticed or I could have caused an accident or worse.

F250 6.0L diesel with 85844 miles had the egr/oil cooler go bad the repair cost $4744 at the dealer. I have an extended warranty but as usual not covered. This a known problem with these 6 liters along with the head bols being substandard and faulty ficm which I replaced at the cost of $525 and doing the work myself. I have tried to resolve this with Ford and my warranty company warranty direct to no avail. I did get the warranty company to admit the egr cooler was covered but they would not cover the other repairs required with this repair so I got $981 from them. These problems have been well documented and I feel it is about time the nesta got involved and got recalls established. My vehicle just started having a small amount of fluid under it th a T I had checked out within 2 days of noticing which led to the egr/oil cooler being repaired and the ficm got replaced a fer truck started running real ruff on cold start up and the ficm sent code of the problem but it can also just stop functioning even while driving which could be fatal.
Engine stalled without warning driving in traffic while weaving in and out of traffic trying to avoid hitting other vehicles or them hitiing me. A dangerous, intense moment trying to get my truck off the road with no power steering or power brakes. This truck may or may or M ay not start. No crank/no start, no start/cranks, no start/bucking and stalling engine. These issues relate to the injector wiring harness due to chaffing and crushing, a very time consuming task. Technician verified the harness is worn and wires are exposed. Past Ford customers refer to the violent shaking that while driving this truck as the "death wobble." An intense moment.this is a risk concerning vehicle safety. This is not protecting consumers against unreasonable risks of accidents occuring. The tires on my truck are michelins. They are the size recommended by Ford for this vehicle. Customer service was contacted twice. Both replys were the same.there are no warrenties, recalls or programs in effect that would provide coverage for your current concern. Keep receipts, etc. Fords presentation to- Ford identified a number of potential failures mechanisms that could effect engine performance in this vehicle population including the wiring conditions addressed by NHTSA. 05V-270. The wiring conditions both effect engine fueling were the onditions to result in engine stall." Vehicles affected were built 9-29-2003 5-31-2004 in louisville ky. Mine 8-2004 in louisville. There have been numerious complaints concerning safety with this population of F-series trucks, then and now. Ford is aware of the failure and expects the consumer to pay for the thier mistake. If NHTSA hadn't stepped in when the defects were discoverd, Ford would have done nothing. NHTSA stated further action will be taken if warrented by future circumstances. In the interest of public safety, the time for further action is now.

While driving on M-37 I noticed white steam coming out of exhaust. Noticed engine temp rising. I stopped cooled engine and brought truck home, where it has been since then. This is a problem Ford Motor Company has known about since 2005. The engineering department identified this design flaw back then and still to this day refuse to help compensate consumers for repairs. The head bolts stretch allowing for the head gaskets to fail. I asked Ford Motor Company customer service if I brought my vehicle to a authorized Ford dealer if they would absorb some of the extensive cost for repairs ( 5-6000 dollars). Their response was no, because we have no recalls on this. In my opinion they have knowingly allowed this engine to be manufactured and sold to the public even thou these design flaws were present. That is plain unacceptable. I ask you to go on the internet. Type in Ford 6.0 diesel and see how many forums come up. You will see case after case of failures. I am left with this repair cost, and with no relief from Ford.
