2006 FORD F-250 Complaints

TRUCK STALLED AT INTERSECTION. COMPLETE POWER OUTAGE, NO BRAKES, ETC. MANAGES TO RESTART. PROBLEM RECURRED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES. I LIMPED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP WHO SCANNED THE ENGINE CODES. HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND CHARGED ME $550.00 TO REPLACE IT. TRUCK HAD 47,000 ON IT AT THE TIME. IN MY OPINION THIS PART SHOULD LAST WELL INTO THE 100,000 MILE MARK. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH A FULL SET OF THE EXACT SAME TIRE BRAND, TYPE, SIZE, AND LOAD RANGE. THE NEW TIRES WERE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES WHICH HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THESE: BELT FAILURE. TIRE FAILURE: BELTS BEGAN TO SEPARATE LEADING TO UNEVEN WEAR AND EVENTUALLY FAILURE OF THE SIDEWALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 3 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT IT FAILED TO RESPOND. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

THE TRUCK WAS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE (I-81 NEAR BLACKSBURG EXIT 118A,B,C) DRIVING UPHILL. WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE RIGHT LANE FROM THE MIDDLE LANE, WHILE LETTING OF THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE DIES. AT THIS POINT LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING BRAKES AND STEERING CONTROL. SINCE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE TRUCK THEN WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE FIRST LANE AND GET OFF THE SHOULDER. THE TRUCK DIED AND FORTUNATELY DUE TO LOW TRAFFIC ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER. AT THAT POINT, TRIED TO START THE TRUCK AND IT WOULD NOT START SO HAD TO REMAIN ON THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE UNTIL HELP COULD ARRIVE. STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. FORD BLOGS INDICATE THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS GONE UNADDRESSED. *TR

HELLO, I HAVE A FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY KING RANCH 4X4 DIESEL THAT MY WIFE AND I ALWAYS WANTED. WE BOUGHT FROM A USED CAR/TRUCK LOT. THE RIMS AND TIRES ARE BRAND NEW AS IS ALIGNMENT WAS ALSO HAD DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE BUT IT DIDN'T.. WHEN THE TRUCK GETS TO 44 MILES AN HOUR AND UP TO 50 MPH MY F 250 HOPS LAND I DON'T KNOW IF ITS FROM THE FRONT OR BACK BUT I THINK ITS HAPPENING IN THE FRONT THE WAY IT FEELS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.. MY TRUCK STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT MOVE BACK AND FORTH LIKE THE TIRES ARE WIGGLING RIGHT AND LEFT , IT IS MORE LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE A BAD RIM OR UNEVEN TIRE HOP, LIKE WHEN I WAS A KID AND COULDN'T AFFORD TIRES AND BOUGHT SOME USED ONES AND GET A BUM TIRE IN THE SET OR MAYBE A RIMS THAT I HAD TRADED FOR AND ONE WAS BAD.. WE LOVE THIS F 250 AND HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT, NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT DIESEL TRUCKS, ONLY LOVING THE SOUND AND POWER OF THEM SO THE PROBLEMS THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO POINT OUT OR MENTION TO US WE HAVE HAD ALL FIXED PROPERLY AND THIS HOP OR BOUNCE THAT MY F 250 IS EXPERIENCING IS REALLY A WORRY TO US SEEING HOW WE BOUGHT IT TO PULL A TRAVEL TRAILER WE PURCHASED TO EXPLORE THIS GREAT U.S.A. SO WE WILL BE CONSTANTLY DRIVING IT ATTACHED TO THE TRAILER OR NOT. I HAVE REPLACED RIMS, TIRES AND HAD AN ALIGNMENT AS STATED BEFORE AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHICH IF YOU GOOGLED IT AND SEEING ALOT OFL OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SOME EVEN LIFE THREATENING WHICH WORRIES ME ALSO IF WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS, CAUSES SOMETHING TO BREAK OR HAPPEN. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONCERNS TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY HAZARD ON FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS.. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
