2003 FORD F-350 SD Complaints

2003 FORD F-350 6.0 LITER ENGINE DIESEL RUNAWAY AFTER OWNING 13 DAYS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE AND AT DEALERS FOR OVER THREE WEEKS. *JB

CONSUMER STATES INTERMITTENTLY LOOSE THE BRAKE. NO POWER STEERING. DEALER NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.

VEHICLE LOST POWER (AND NEVER RETURNED) WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER 20 MILES OF DRIVING UNDER THE LOST POWER CONDITION. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE EGR VALVE. THIS HAPPENED AT ONLY 3500 MILES. I WISH FORD WOULD TEST THEIR VEHICLES INSTEAD OF HAVING THE CONSUMER TEST THEM FOR THEM ON THE HIGHWAYS. *NLM

I HAD A BRAND NEW 6.0 POWERSTROKE SUPERCHARGER BLOW UP ON ME AND IT ONLY HAD 244 MILES ON IT. SO THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A NEW TRUCK. THEN THE NEW TRUCK HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AT 8,000 MILES AND IT WAS THE SUPERCHARGER TO BUT IT ALSO BURNT AN INJECTOR OUT AND TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND FORD WAS NOT GOING TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD AN AFTER MARKET PART ON IT, EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE FIRST TRUCK ,BUT FIRST TRUCK DID NOT HAVE THE AFTERMARKET PART ON IT . SO I SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR IT. *NLM

FORD F350 CREW CAB WITH 6.0-LITER DIESEL ENGINE. THE TURBO RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 45 - 50 MPH. THE ONLY TEMPORARY FIX IS TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. MY SPOUSE WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A HAY TRUCK WHILE TRYING TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THREE COMPUTER PROGRAM UPDATES - NONE OF WHICH HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. FORD HAS NOW TOLD THE FLEET SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. FORD DOES NOT HAVE AN "UPDATE" TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO US TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. *NLM
