The contact owns a 2004 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. There was no warning light illuminated.

I purchased this truck in January 2023. Drove just fine for 2 months and started having this issue. While driving my 2004 f250 sd 6. 0l turbodiesel 4x4, (egr deleted, bulletproofed and studded engine, cold air intake, oil cooler, sct x4 tuner) a "fizzle" noise was heard more on passenger side; acting like fuel wasn't reaching engine; and truck stalled right after noise was heard. Wouldn't restart on a hot engine. Crank-no start. Drained both batteries attempting to restart. Restarted after cold engine but would stalled out and not be able to restart while hot engine. Replaced both fuel filters, fuel pump, some module in front bumper relating to fuel system. A friend that knows diesel engines has been trying to find out why its operating the way it is. I treated the gas tank to (2) seafoam for trucks and had valvoline in ferndale, wa do an oil change after purchasing it. Recalls say that they've been done, but could this issue be caused by the ficm recall?.

Spark plug blew out. Repair estimate $1300. Ford apparently knew about the issue and settled in a class action lawsuit. They did not inform owners of the potential problem, so I feel they are still culpable for the damages.

The third from the front on the passenger side spark plug blew out and a heli coil was replaced and after under 500 miles it blew out again now they are replacing a second heli coil and I am worried on if it will hold and how dependable it will be. Second I am wondering if there is any compensation from Ford motor CO. For the expenses of this procedure and if any head work/replacement is needed and whom wolud be responsable for the cost.

#3 spark plug ejection.

Driving on the highway , complete loss of throttle but the engine was still running at a low amperage. Was able to pull off the road and turned it off. It wouldn't start back up right away. Had to wait a while it would start and limped it home. No problems for a few days, then it started acting up again. A couple times it would start, but at a low idle with no response of the gas peddle. The final straw was last week. I was driving on the highway to work. Each time I came to a stop, it would lose throttle. I was able to turn it off and back on to get going. Then at a major intersection of hwy 41 and 145, it wouldn't turn back on and I was in the middle of the hwy. I had to push it to the side of the road and it would turn but not start. I had it towed to my mechanic on Saturday and Monday when they got to it, after charging the batteries, it started right up and they haven't been able to get it to fail. . . When this happens, there is no oil pressure on the gauge. This is dangerous and potentially hazardous or deadly. I could have easily been injured or killed if I had been hit.

Driving the vehicle 20mph lost all power to engine, left without power steering, brakes or control of vehicle. Pulled over and tried to start vehicle, it did not start, but after a few minutes it restarted. This has happened three times in February 2015. I contacted Ford motor company, was assigned a case number. She checked on nthsa recall 05v270000. She stated that the repairs to this vehicle have already been completed and that I was now on my own in regards to repairs. While doing research, I have found out that people are still having some problems regarding this issue. Ford seems to have washed their hands of this issue of responsibility regarding their vehicles. This is why I am filing a case.

Spark plug number 3 blew out of the aluminum cylinder head.

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.
