2004 FORD F250 6.0 DIESEL. STARTED SHUDDERING A BIT WHILE GOING FROM PARK, DRIVE TO REVERSE. I FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID ON MY GARAGE FLOOR, TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. 4000 DOLLARS TO FIX A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED BY IDENTICAL CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVING FORD RECALL 05B27. THE MECHANIC PULLED THE "OASIS" REPORT AND FOUND NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE BASED ON THE "VIN". I HAVE CONTACTED FORD WITH NO SATISFACTION. I WAS ADVISED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND MAYBE THERE WILL BE A RECALL AT A FUTURE DATE, AT WHICH POINT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED. AGAIN, THIS DEFECT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 05B27. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE AND WHAT FORD TRIED TO STEM WITH THE RECALL. IT IS AN ADMITTED ENGINEERING DEFECT WHICH SHOULD GIVE CAUSE FOR AN EXPANDED RECALL. *TR

MY 2004 F-250 DIESEL, 79,292 MILES, HAS BEEN AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP SINCE SEPT. 7TH. THERE ARE SO MANY DIESELS BROKEN DOWN, MINE DID NOT GET PULLED INTO THE BAY FOR WORK UNTIL THE LAST WEEK IN OCT. IT IS STILL IN THE BAY WAITING AN ENGINE AS OF NOV. 11TH. OVER 2 MONTHS IN THE SHOP. THEY CHANGED THE OIL PRIOR TO DIAGNOSING BLOWN HEAD GASKETS AND OVER BOOSTING TURBO, SO THEY COULD NOT CONFIRM IF WATER WAS IN THE OIL PAN. DIAGNOSES WAS TO REPLACE THE HEAD BOLTS, GASKETS, EGR COOLER, REBUILD AN OVER BOOSTING TURBO, AT A COST OF ABOUT $3,000.00. AFTER THE HEADS WERE DEEMED UNUSABLE, MUCH PITTING, CORROSION OF THE HEAD WHERE THE CYLINDER IMPRINT IS LOCATED, THE COST WENT TO $7,5000. SINCE THEY FAILED TO INSPECT THE OIL FOR COOLANT, I HAD LITTLE ALTERNATIVE THAN TO REQUEST AN ENTIRE ENGINE, AT A COST OF $15,500.00. I HAVE WORKED ON ENGINES, AND KNOW SOME OF THE ASPECTS OF BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FROM FORD. THEY SAID THE DEALERSHIP WAS WILLING TO TAKE A 10% DISCOUNT. AFTER MORE PHONE CALLS, THEY OFFERED AN ADDITIONAL $400.00 OFF AFTER THE DISCOUNT. I AM LOOKING AT SPENDING $13,500.00 PLUS $1,205.25 IN SALES TAX, BACK UP TO ABOUT $15,000.00 FOR A TRUCK WITH 79,292 MILES. FORD MOTOR CORPORATION DID NOT OFFER A DIME. I AM REQUESTING THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD INVESTIGATE, FIND FORD AT FAULT FOR KNOWINGLY NOT RECOMMENDING SERVICE BULLETINS FOR: 1)OVER BOOSTING TURBOS TO BE REPLACED WITH THE NEW DESIGNED ONES. 2)THE HEAD BOLTS BE REPLACED WITH THE HEAVIER, LARGER CIRCUMFERENCE BOLTS. 3)UPDATED HEAD GASKETS. 4)STAINLESS EGR COOLER SO MUCH INFORMATION HAS BEEN WRITTEN ON THE OBVIOUS FAULTS, AND THE CORRECTIONS THAT COULD BE MADE IF FORD WERE FORTH COMING IN DISCLOSING THE PROBLEMS, BEFORE CONSUMERS WERE REQUIRED TO MAKE HUGE INVESTMENTS ON THEIR ENGINES. THERE IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE OF THE OVER BOOSTING, AND ENGINE ACCELERATING UNCONTROLLABLY. *TR

MY FORD F-250 SUPERDUTY WITH 6.0 DIESEL HAS A HARD STARTING ISSUE AND THEN THE ENGINE GO FROM LOW IDLE TO HIGH IDLE CAUSING TO HAVE TO REALLY APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM TAKING OFF. YOU CAN BE JUST GRADUALLY TAKING OFF AND THEN IT ACCELERATES WITH OUT WARNING. HAVE HAD INSTANCES WHEN SITTING AT A STOP AND THE ENGINES RPM'S JUMP CAUSING THE TRUCK TO START TAKING OFF AND IF NOT REACTING FAST ENOUGH WOULD HAVE HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I DO HAVE A ENGINE CODE IN THE VEHICLE, P2285 WHICH STATES INJECTOR CONTROL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS THAT HAVE LED TO SAFETY RECALLS DUE TO WIRING HARNESSES BEING FAULTY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, HOWEVER IT SOUNDS REAL FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. *TR
