Three problems related to fuel injection have been reported for the 2005 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-250. While driving 70 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The contact stated that the brake pedal had to be pumped several times and the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. Additionally, the vehicle stalled without any warning indicators illuminating. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the battery, alternator, and fuel injection control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was not contacted for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 162,000.
The truck stalled and skipped on the interstate almost causing a collision on I 85. According to the tech the fuel injection control module goes bad in almost every Ford f250 6. 0 diesel engine when you hit this mileage. Not sure how we continue to give Ford a pass on this common issue.
The fuel injection control module (ficm) failed on my truck, causing the engine to not start or run. This is a very common component failure for the 6. 0l diesel engine. If it fails when the vehicle is being driven, it could cause loss of control, loss of power steering, loss of braking capability. Ford must be aware of the common failure of this component, yet no recall to replace these faulty modules has been issued. In the interest of public safety, I request that Ford be required to replace all existing ficm's on the 6. 0l diesel engine with one of better quality, and reimburse all owners of these vehicles that have already paid the excessive repair costs, commonly over $1000, to have their failed ficm's replaced.
