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.
The ficm (fuel injector control module) on the 6.0L powerstrokes are a known item to fail. They lose voltage and make injectors not work, which shuts off the vehicle. This can happen at any time while at an idle or going down the highway. Once this happens, the truck shuts off and you lose power steering and braking ability. Mine shut off while going down the road several times now, but Ford does not want to warranty it. My small town Ford dealership replaces several of these parts a week. Does someone have to die for them to issue a recall on these?
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.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F250. The contact attempted to accelerate from a complete stop, but there was no engine power. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the fuel filter was replaced. The failure reoccurred two days after the repair. The contact was able to drive the vehicle back to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician informed the contact that the failure could possibly be contributed to the fuel injectors. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The vehicle had not been driven for one year due to the intermittent failures and insufficient repairs. The failure occurred four different times. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000. The VIN was unavailable. Updated 12/10/10.
Gas pours out of the filler neck after every fill up. I do not click extra to "top it off" and still gas pours out of the neck when I remove the pump from the filler neck.
