I was driving on a two lane blacktop road at 35 mph, when the vehicle unexpectly died losing all power, including steering and brakes. This occurred after I had just exited a U.S. highway where the speed limit was 65 mph. Due to the fact that I am a former police defensive driving instructor I was able to steer the vehicle to a side street. I bought this vehicle to tow a 14,000 lb. Fifth wheel trailer and I am glad it was not attached.. it turned out that the problem was the stc fitting. Ford told me that this part has a common failure problem and it has been replaced with the revised stc fitting. My concerm is that failure of this part with an inexperienced driver on an interstate could be fatal. The stc fitting is apparently attached to the high pressure oil pump, and when it fails you lose all power and the vehicle will not restart.
I have a 2006 Ford F250 6.0 it has been towed 8 times, I ve had turbo, injector, electrical, wheel, trans problems since day one of purchase. Theres over 16 pages of mechanical problems that has been performed and counting. I know I am not the only one thats having these problems and I can't get much assistance from Ford. It going to take someone like this Agency to help us. This is alot when you pay $51000 plus addition repairs for a vehicle with a extented warr.
