2006 FORD F-250 Complaints

F250SD DIESEL ABOUT 65 MI.S.OF ELI,NV. THE CK ENGINE SYMBOL CAME ON,SO I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE,[MAYBE 1 GAL.]. OIL WAS COMING OUT OF PLASTIC COOLANT OVERFLOW BOX. NO OIL SHOWED ON CHECK STICK. I GOT 2 GAL OF OIL FROM SOMEONE PASSING BY AND LIMPED INTO ELI NV. THE PICKUP SEEMED TO RUN OK AND NO OTHER WARNINGS SHOWED. [I WATCHED TEMPS CLOSELY]. TURNED OUT THE OIL COOLER INTERNAL [UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD] SPRUNG A LEAK AND FORCED OIL INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM. MY TRUCK WAS BARELY OVER THE 5 YR. WARRANTY SO NO HELP THERE FROM FORD. I ALWAYS WANTED A FORD DIESEL BUT NOT ANYMORE. COST $2200. FOR REPAIRS, AND LOST 3 WEEKS WITH THE TRUCK. HAD TO HIRE A U-HAUL TO GET HOME TO BOISE AND COME BACK FOR MY PICKUP. MY QUESTION IS WHY NO HELP FROM FORD? I STILL HAVE THE BAD COOLER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN MY 2006 F250 SD, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE HORN HONKED AND STAYED ON (NOT LIKE HONK HONK BUT LIKE HHHHOOONNNKK) I HAD TO STOP AND PULL THE FUSE TO GET THE HORN TO TURN OFF. IT IS A SAFETY RISK DUE THE WAY OTHER DRIVERS GET STARTLED BUY THIS SUDDEN NOISE. AND MAY VERY WELL CAUSES AND ACCIDENT OR KILL SOME ONE IF IT HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT IS HAPPENS ALOT IN THE 03-06 F250, AND WHEN FORD FIXED MY TRUCK THEY REPLACED THE FUSE BOX, DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG AND HORN ASSEMBLY(AT A COST OF 1486.80). STATING THAT IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. SO MY LIFE COULD HAVE VERY MUCH BEEN IN DANGER......... THANKS FORD... *TR

EGR AND OIL COOLER FAILURE...CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE AND HYDROLOCK SITUATION. THE ENGINE STOPPED THE TRUCK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE $2542.42. SURE WOULD BE NICE FOR FORD TO HAVE A HAND IN THE REPAIRS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY ENGINE DESIGN. I HAVE READ 100'S OF REPORTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS AND FORD STILL WILL NOT FIX OR HELP PAY FOR THEIR ENGINE. FORD REFUSED TO HELP WITH REPAIR COST. I ONLY HAVE 98000K MILES. PLEASE LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THESE COMPLAINTS. I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION. I AM SURE THAT THE LOBBYIST AT FORD ARE DOING THEIR JOB TO KEEP THIS FROM BECOMING A RECALL SITUATION. IT IS HURTING NO ONE BUT THE OWNERS OF THIS 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP! *TR

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? *TR
