Five problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2001 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Spark plugs keep blowing out of the engine, while accelerating, has done five times,, when it does vehicle stalled possibly care cause an accident, almost got hit by a truck trying to turn,.
When I started my vehicle the #1 plug ejected from my Ford 5. 4 engine. The plug broke the coil and struck the fuel rail putting a dent in it and partially dislodge it. This is my first ejection. My shop replaced the threads in the head, installed a new spark plug and coil, then they straighten up everything. I am now scared to drive it as I am 70 years old and had planned to travel.
The consumer stated that the motor stalled without warning while driving. There was a complete power failure. The consumer contacted the manufacturer and was told that this problem was not covered under warranty. The first time the vehicle was taken to dealership, the cam sensor was replaced. The vehicle only had 44, 000 miles on it. The second time this happened, the vehicle had 88, 000 miles. The cam sensor was replaced again. (12/08/05) the consumer stated that this vehicle is driven daily towing over 14k lbs. The dealer is aware of this problem.
The contact owns a 2001 Ford F-250 sd. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle powered down and stopped operating without warning. The dealer stated that the cam sensor failed (part #: f71z-12k073-a). The dealer installed a new cam sensor. The component failed four more times. There was a NHTSA investigation (action #: pe06011) that was closed with no recall. The current mileage was 98,000 and failure mileage was 300.
The 2001 f250 I own has always stalled at any given time. Ford recalled the cam position sensor, I had already changed it just before recall then they did again. That never stopped it from stalling, it also doesn't read when you sometimes go to take off. I've changed (throttle switch) that did nothing. All of its mishaps has cased thousands of dollars in repair. Alawys broke down and can't make money when it's impossible to drive truck time after time. I have been in several close call accidents, when I lose powersteering and almost have crashed into cars. I figured out the fuel tank flaking off inside the tank could be the cause. The truck gets terrible fuel mileage when this happens costing a fortune in wasted diesel fumes. That have been know to cause brain cancer, also the amount of pollution from not running proper. I am no fan of Ford's repair shop when they tell you in 1983 to my father that his almost brand new diesel needs new (spark plugs) when diesel do not even have them. I own this 2001 diesel for a long time now for a landscaping and snowplowing that is out of business. It is embarrassing for it to stall, rev up slipping transmission, harming whole drive train. Never knowing when I'm could be stranded in northern michigan. I have had one thing after another with the Ford I own. I have seen a lot of same problems people are complaining about. Sounds like Ford has done good at covering up problem by not telling us if they knew. I thought the fuel problem came from gas stations. Only thing helped me was mostly same newer station, and tried to keep it full helped. Can anyone help, these are dangerous situations when lives depend on them. I'm not sure what to do with the truck, I'd like to see it go to scrap at this time. With 277,000 not even rusted out much. It needs whole drive train again, I don't want the oily leaking, polluting junk on the road.
