2005 FORD F-350 SD Complaints

OCCASIONAL LOSS OF STEERING "CENTERING" AFTER MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN. THIS REQUIRES AN EXAGGERATED AND UNEXPECTED AMOUNT OF STEERING EFFORT TO CORRECT THIS OVERSTEERING CONDITION AND TO PREVENT CROSSING INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS MAY OCCUR DAILY OR WEEKLY. *TR

MY 2005 FORD F350 WITH THE 6.0 LITRE DIESEL BROKE DOWN DUE TO SIGNIFICANT LEAKAGE IN THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL SYSTEM. WHEN BEING REPAIRED, THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT STANDPIPES AND ORINGS BE REPLACED WITH UPGRADED PARTS. THIS WAS VERY COSTLY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

I OWN A 2005 FORD F 350 THAT SOMETIMES HAS A VIOLENT STEERINGWHEEL SHAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS IN ROADWAY. HAS HAPPENED MAYBE 5 TIMES IN 4YEARS WHERE SO SEVERE THAT COULD NOT TURN STEERING WHEEL UNTIL SPEED WAS REDUCED BY BRAKING QUICKLY. *TR

MY 2005 SD F-350 CREW CAB FORD TRUCK SHIMMIES VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HIT SOME UNEVEN ROADWAY. IT DOESN'T STOP UNTIL I ALMOST COME TO A STOP OR SLOW DOWN TO BELOW 45MPH. THE SHIMMY IS VERY UNCONTROLLABLE AND DANGEROUS AND SOMETIME THE TRUCK CHANGES LINES DO TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2005 FORD F350 SUPERDUTY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 75 MPH, HE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING HIM TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE SPEED DECREASED TO 30 MPH. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER; HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 50,000.

I HAVE A FORD F350 KING RANCH 2005 AND IT WOBBLES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR UNEVEN PATCH. IT DOES IT ABOVE 40 MPH. DEALER HAD ME PURCHASE A STABILIZER AND THEY PUT IT ON- IT HELPED BUT DIDN'T SOLVE IT. I JUST DRIVE THE TRUCK WHEN I NEED. I TOOK IT IN 6 MONTHS LATER AND THEY SAID THEY MUST INVESTIGATE BY DEDUCTION. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO FIRST DO A BALANCE, THEN A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. I TOLD THEM NO- IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. MY FEAR IS THAT THE VIOLENT WOBBLE WILL LEAD TO OTHER PROBLEMS. HELP. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 FORD F-350 WITH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE PAST 4 MONTHS MY TRUCK HAS BEEN NOT STARTING AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN AND OCCASIONALLY STALLING WHILE BEING DRIVEN. I HAVE HAD THE CAM SENSOR, CRANK SENSOR, & FUEL SENDING UNIT ALL REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. I BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO "REPRODUCE THE NOT STARTING", TOLD ME TO CHANGE ALL FILTERS TO FORD BRAND AND CHANGE THE OIL. AFTER SPENDING $350 ON JUST FILTERS THE TRUCK IS STILL BROKEN, I CAN NOT DRIVE IT. THERE IS A CAMPAIGN FOR THIS PROBLEM #05V270000, UNFORTUNATELY FORD SAYS THEY CAN NOT FIX MY VEHICLE BECAUSE MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED. I HAD A FRIEND LOOK AT MY TRUCK WHO HAS A COMPUTER TO LOOK UP THE CODES, WHILE THE TRUCK IS PLUGGED IN. HE REPRODUCED THE NOT STARTING WHILE THE COMPUTER WAS PLUGGED IN AND THE CODE CAME UP FOR THE FICM WHICH IS WHAT THE RECALL FROM NHTSA IS FOR. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD BASICALLY TO BAD. THE TRUCK WILL NOT START AFTER BEING DRIVEN ON A DAILY BASIS. BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE TRUCK LEAVING ME STRANDED OR EVEN WORSE STALLING WHILE I DRIVE IT AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, I DO NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

2005 FORD F-350 4X4 DUALLY WITH SEVERE FRONT END SHAKE AT AROUND 50 MPH AND HITTING A BUMP IN ROAD. MUST SLOW TO 35 MPH TO STOP SHAKING. FORD DEALER STATED PROBLEM WAS DUE TO IMPROPER TIRE PRESSURE. HAVE REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER, AND DRAG LINE, TO NO BENEFIT AS OF YET. *TR

ENGINE FILTERS GET CLOGGED UP AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO RUN ERRATICALLY AND STALL, CAUSED FROM DEBRIS FROM A FAULTY FUEL TANK. *TR

2005 FORD F350 PICK UP TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END AT SPEEDS EXCEEDING 55 MPH AFTER CROSSING OVER UNEVEN SURFACE. HAS HAPPENED OVER 25 TIMES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. WILL ONLY STOP "WOBBLING" WHEN IT GETS BELOW APPROX. 30-25 MPH. I'VE HAD MANY INSTANCES WHERE I HAD TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER TO PREVENT BEING HIT FROM BEHIND OR SIDE SWIPED AND STILL GET THE TRUCK DOWN TO 25 MPH TO GET IT TO QUIT. STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, FOUND ONLINE THAT IT IS NOT TOO UNCOMMON AND NEVER KNEW WHERE TO GO UNTIL NOW. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK, HOWEVER, IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO WORK ETC. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP, $900 LATER AND TRUCK "SHOOK" THAT EVENING ON HIGHWAY 101. THE FORD STORE WHERE I PURCHASED IT SAID IT REALLY ISN'T FIXABLE.... WHATEVER THAT MEANS! *TR
