| Electronic Stability Control problems |
At speeds of over 50 mph, the vehicle shakes violently to the point of losing control of steering. In addition, at speeds of over 15 mph, the steering wheel has so much play that rough roads cause the vehicle to travel left or right and huge corrections need to be made in order to keep from drifting into other lanes. Both these issues are consitent.
While driving vehicle dash controls, windows, radio all shut off and turn back on occasionally. If the vehicle starts and the controls are not currently working the truck idles high and chugs. When gages are not working the battery does not change either. The gages shut off while moving, not moving and at time s are off right when the truck starts. Does it while driving straight, turning, back roads highway and also driveway. While looking on google there have been at least 30 other complaints of the same exact issue without a 100% fix for the problem. Ford needs to inspect and find a way to fix this problem.
Stalling 2006 Ford F-250 6. 0 diesel, I was driving on the freeway with my 2 boys doing problay 60 mph in a 65mph zone when I noticed that the truck started first seemed to loose power then spurted, then 20seconds later the rpms dropped finding my self without no control of the truck what so ever, meaning it had no power brakes no steering and the engine completly shut off ! , coasting to the side of the freeway barely making it without getting rear ended ! I couldnt believe this. I got to the side of the freeway and tried for a good 5 to 7 minutes before calling triple a for a tow, then while waiting for them to arrive I tried it once again to start the truck and give it gas while doing so it fired up but for about 15 seconds it sounded like it was firing on 4 cylinders or misfiring then it went back to normal and made it home. I then took the vehile to the local Ford dealership, I don't know as of yet whats wrong with it but I can tell you I was scared over this happening!.
Truck has had this problem since I bought it. A shimmy and vibration whenever going over any type of imperfection on the roadway. From a constant vibration up to a severe almost uncontrollable shimmy. Truck will even hop sideways when going over a small patch job on the hwy. I have bought new tires, keep my tire pressure constant and still have the problem. Please help if a fix is known. The last set of tires were ruined due to cupping. At $1300. 00 a set, I do not want to have to replace again after only 15,000 miles, but more then that, I would hate to be the one causing an accident resulting in injury and even death. Please let me know if Ford has come up with a remedy to this problem.
