Car Stall Problems of Ford E-550

Purchased a used Ford 550 diesel bucket truck, in Nov. 2007 two weeks after truck started to not start at times and would stall while driving down the road. We drove it to the dealership and had it towed in several times, dealership would send truck back to us and it would again stall on the road, after this happened two times in a row and it was back at dealership when they told us again nothing wrong with it. We told them to take it home for the night. They did and of course it stalled on the road. They then started to break down the engine to find what was wrong. They thought that the injectors after being taken out and tested were not in that good of condition and that they were the cause of the problem and should be changed. We had them change 7 of 8 injectors also called glow plugs. This came to about $4000 same problem different state truck went to new dealer ship was told nothing wrong with it. Picked it up and drove it and of course it stalled on the road again it was towed in and they said it had to be wiring and since it would take to long to look over all the wiring and with the symptoms the wires were bad so we needed a new wiring harness. We had them put it in. This was about $ 2700 we picked up the truck and truck stalled on the highway and was not off the road this time, we had it towed back to the dealership again. They again said they had no idea what was wrong with the truck but it must be wiring so the wiring coming out of the fuse box, was changed not sure what the name is now. About $900 truck was serviced again in another state at another dealership about 4000 another state and truck was in dealership again. They found problems with the glow plugs, and we were told first dealership was at fault. $1900 back home again and truck is still stalling so I looked up on web truck not starting and stalling and this came up. I cannot not tell you upset we are at this we are out 13,500 and it may have been a bad cps we are bankrupt.

Every time this vehicle ( 2003 Ford expedition fx4 4x4 ) is either washed, and or when it rains, the truck will attempt to stall out, in any driving conditions city or fwy, which may cause an accident. I know this to be true for I have this vehicle and it stalled on the fast lane hwy 15, I had first believed it was a fuel problem, due to, it acts like its out of gas, bad filter etc, with this type of truck Ford has installed ignition coils, one on top of each spark plug a total of 8, I had Ford recently look at the problem and they did replace #8 coil due to water in the spark plug port ( 4-3-06 ), the plug boots do not stop any water from getting into the engine (spark plugs and wire assembly area), I have spoken to Ford service dept, and out side mechanics and they all have agreed that this is a common problem with the Ford expeditions. What is unethical the Ford dealers and service dept, will attempt to convince the consumer that it is their fault and that any warranty may be void, sunrise Ford ( 909-434-0473 ) had tried to make me agree or say that I was washing the engine with water to clean it, the only time I look under the hood is to change the oil or check the fluids, sunrise Ford has been the only one, doing any major repairs to this truck and there mechanic, lost two machine type screws, and they told me I lost them, and that I should have checked the work after it being done, is this my responsibility as a consumer? but as I write to you 4-14-2006 my wife's Ford expedition has failed again it stalled after she left our driveway thank god I have a Subaru in case of an emergency, and I will have to take it back to Ford to do repairs due to ignition problems. Know wonder Ford is going out of business they treat their valid customers so poorly. Sincerely: gregory m ritchie.

Failure of the cam positioning sensor on a 2001 f250 7. 3 diesel pickup with 35,00 miles. The truck started dying at stops. And slow speed. Had to put the truck in neutral and restart 8 times. Left the truck with Ford dealer for 2 days(they drove it home and put 150 miles on truck) nothing. Paid $140 for 2 hours labor. Next day paid $256 to get a new cps installed and one week later no problem. The Ford diesel forum on the internet has hundred of truck owners in the same boat. We all pay $100 or more and carry a spare cps. Nhtsa should look into this and recall this item or put Ford on notice because one of these days someone is going to get killed.

The vehicle stalled without warning.
