This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My 2005 Ford F-250 6.0L diesel lost acceleration onto a highway. It stalled and started billowing white smoke from the exhaust. After a few moments it slowly accelerated, but nearly caused an accident as cars ran up onto us. The engine was missing and we made it to an intersection to pull off of highway. We stopped and restarted the engine and it started running normally. However, it happened again once we were on the road. We made it to the dealership where they diagnosed the problem as a failed "ficm fuel injector control module." This has been reported to them multiple times, but a recall has not been issued for this model. I did find reference to a recall (Ford recall no. 05S34) of the exact nature on a different year model. I called Ford and they would not reimburse the cost of the part and labor of $1100.
