general problems of the 2006 Ford F-250

The check engine light continues to stay on no matter what Ford tries to do. We can not get the truck smogged for registration due to this problem.

The front end wanders and grabs any road deformities severely enough to put you in another lane.

I have a 2006 Ford f250 super duty 4x4 pick up w/ 61. 00 miles , that has a death wobble when driving over 45 mph. I have replaced both hubs and seals, shocks, steering damper, stabilizer bar links and inner & outer tie rods. Have had the tires balanced twice and a front end alignment. Does this fall under a recall? I have seen service bulletins on this. They seem to have replaced the same parts that I did. Is there a fix, as this is very dangerous? this death wobble happens every day, smooth or rough roads.

Cpsc: the right front tire developed a terrible bounce atspeeds less than 30 mph. I returned the truck to rick's tires and he contacted freeservice tires.

On 09/12/2013, I purchased 4 Geo-trac patagonia a/t tires p265/70/17 tires for my 2006 Ford f250 super duty. From rick's tires and brakes in canton, nc. This tire shop purchased the tires from free service tires in swannanoa, nc. Free service tires bought the tires from teireco, inc in gardena, CA. The dot number on the four tires is dot jenj fpl 1911. The truck had 53,023 miles on it when these tires were purchased. In January 2017, the right front tire developed a terrible bounce at speeds less than 30 mph. I returned the truck to rick's tires and he contacted free service tires. The free service manager said the belts had separated and replaced the tire. On 03/21/2017 while towing a boat on I-40 in north carolina, the right rear tir exploded at 55 mph. I was unable to immediately exit the roadway and drove a short distance to safely park on the shoulder. The tire had a large hole and part of the tread had separated from the inner tire. This separation caused extensive damage to my right pickup bed outer wall and bracing supports. I immediately called rick's tires and made him aware of the issue. He immediately called free service tires. I took the truck to rick's tires on 04/02/2017. I filed a claim with tireco on 04/13/2017. The remaining tires have traveled about 13,000 miles. I have discussed this issue ms scrivens and ms torres with tireco. I have had to initiate every discussion with them. They seem to be unconcerned that two of the four original tires they manufactured or imported have failed. Ms. Torres told me today that a road hazard caused the second failure. I had a retired operator from a rubber vulcanizing operation look at the tire. He stated that the tire had not been "cooked" long enough or the temp was not hot enough to adequately bind the rubber components. Tireco should immediately repair my truck and compensate for tires.

The truck was on a major interstate (I-81 near blacksburg exit 118a,b,c) driving uphill. While trying to merge into the right lane from the middle lane, while letting of the accelerator the engine dies. At this point lost all power including brakes and steering control. Since there was no traffic immediately behind the truck then was able to pull over to the first lane and get off the shoulder. The truck died and fortunately due to low traffic able to maneuver to the shoulder. At that point, tried to start the truck and it would not start so had to remain on the side of interstate until help could arrive. Stranded on the side of the interstate. Truck was towed to dealership. Ford blogs indicate there is a known problem that has gone unaddressed.

Dashboard instrument panel gage's and lights stop functioning also low fuel light comes on with full tank of fuel.

Hello, I have a Ford f 250 super duty king ranch 4x4 diesel that my wife and I always wanted. We bought from a used car/truck lot. The rims and tires are brand new as is alignment was also had done to fix the problem right out of the gate but it didnt. . When the truck gets to 44 miles an hour and up to 50 mph my f 250 hops land I don't know if its from the front or back but I think its happening in the front the way it feels on the steering wheel. . My truck steering wheel does not move back and forth like the tires are wiggling right and left , it is more like when you have a bad rim or uneven tire hop, like when I was a kid and couldn't afford tires and bought some used ones and get a bum tire in the set or maybe a rims that I had traded for and one was bad. . We love this f 250 and have put a lot of money into it, not knowing anything about diesel trucks, only loving the sound and power of them so the problems the dealership failed to point out or mention to us we have had all fixed properly and this hop or bounce that my f 250 is experiencing is really a worry to us seeing how we bought it to pull a travel trailer we purchased to explore this great u. S. A. So we will be constantly driving it attached to the trailer or not. I have replaced rims, tires and had an alignment as stated before and would really like to solve this problem which if you googled it and seeing alot ofl others experiencing this same problem and some even life threatening which worries me also if whatever the problem is, causes something to break or happen. I thank you for your time and concerns to remedy this safety hazard on Ford super duty trucks. . Thank you, michael duncan enjoyingwhatsleft@gmail. Com.

I was driving on a two lane blacktop road at 35 mph, when the vehicle unexpectly died losing all power, including steering and brakes. This occurred after I had just exited a u. S. Highway where the speed limit was 65 mph. Due to the fact that I am a former police defensive driving instructor I was able to steer the vehicle to a side street. I bought this vehicle to tow a 14,000 lb. Fifth wheel trailer and I am glad it was not attached. . It turned out that the problem was the stc fitting. Ford told me that this part has a common failure problem and it has been replaced with the revised stc fitting. My concerm is that failure of this part with an inexperienced driver on an interstate could be fatal. The stc fitting is apparently attached to the high pressure oil pump, and when it fails you lose all power and the vehicle will not restart.

My husband drives a 2006 Ford f250 supercab pickup truck with approximately 53,000 miles (low mileage for the year of the truck). Recently, the latch cables on the rear suicide doors both broke within 1 month of each other, rendering the rear doors completely inoperable. From researching blogs online, this is caused by a defective plastic part in the latch mechanism and is quite common on this type Ford truck door. The parts and labor are quite costly ($400 per door), as the whole mechanism must be replaced, rather than just the defective plastic piece. This is certainly a safety concern, as anyone in the rear of the vehicle is trapped inside, as the doors will not unlatch and open. We were told by Ford customer care that they will not correct this problem and must replace the latch with the same type latch cable that has already broken (case # cas2362123). There is no guarantee with the replacement that it will not happen again and is quite a safety concern, especially if a child is in the rear seat, as passengers may not be able to exit during an emergency. We feel this should be a recall issue and the defective piece should be replaced at no charge. Perhaps your agency can look into this matter to see if this is as common a problem as it appears and is not isolated to model and year of our Ford truck. These doors are common on many Ford trucks. Ford will not provide a remedy or relief for this situation. Thanks for your time.

The death wobbles or shimmy been. Going on since 2010. The whole truck would shake and shake hard. Until I slow down to 30mph. Then Ford sent me a litter (09l02) saying it's called the shimmy and its my tire pressure. I checked tire still kept happening. Yesterday 6/23/2014 my wife an two sons where on the freeway when it happen and the steering damper broke off.

Like Toyota cars, if "winter-styled, rubber floor mat on drivers side becomes unhooked & slides forward, it can lodge the accelerator down causing a high speed. It has happened to me several times, almost causing me to loose control. These are Ford factory installed mats I paid extra for at time vehicle was purchased new. Occurs when I accelerated hard, such as to pass another car or enter/merge onto an interstate. Had to put car in neutral and pull mat back. Has happened several times since vehicle was purchased.
