The contact owns a 2003 Ford F-350 sd. The contact stated that the vehicle would stall sporadically without warning. In addition, the vehicle would hesitate when attempting to start. The dealer diagnosed that the injection control pressure module would need replacing. The manufacturer advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 05v270000 (electrical system:wiring) recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 60,200.

The contact owns a 2003 Ford F-350 6. 0l diesel sd. The contact was driving approximately 10-20 mph and attempting a right turn when the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the icp sensor was replaced yet the failure recurred two days following the repairs. The vehicle was taken back to the local mechanic and the contact was referred to the dealer. The dealer was installed a flat record on the vehicle but was not repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 05v270000 (electrical system:wiring) which included the 2005 model Ford 350 diesel and stated that he was experiencing the exact same failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 23,000 and the current mileage was 25,000.

2003 Ford F-350 diesel stalling. Vehicle stalls without warning. Condition started within the first 7000 miles. Dealer seemed to remedy as the condition never recurred until 37k miles; now, 42k miles. Commenced stalling in Feb 2006 and has stalled 6 times from Feb 2006 to August 2006. The second time it stalled, we were in freezing rain in 4x4 driving my wife to work (she didn't want to drive in those conditions) the vehicle stalled on top of tall bridge 300 ft over the willamette river in ice conditions. Lost steering, had to shift to neutral while still moving and re-start the vehicle to re-gain control. Normally, the vehicle simply stalls in the middle of the road, and while this is a major distraction, I've managed to re-start without incident. Dealer/Ford has been excruciating reluctant to remedy. Even though they have recalled 180,000 2004-2005 vehicles under recall 05v27000 7/22/05 for the exact same symptom, engine, vehicle model, they claim to be unaware of the above recall. The vehicle has been in for repair numerous times (6 times) since February 2006. A flight recorder has been installed twice to record computer data. Once they indicated it was an egr problem and presumably remedied. Still stalls. Got another stalling incident recorded on the flight recorder (twice now) but apparently no good reading. I have contacted Ford customer service (regional) three times now and they have seemed to be moderately helpful, but I don't know if the service department and customer service communicate effectively. As it stands now, the dealer/Ford service is ignoring the recall exists for similar vehicles (my vehicle is an F-350 6. 0 diesel with the exact same symptoms, but it is a 2003 model). They want me to leave the vehicle with the dealership to connect the flight recorder yet a 3rd time and allow them to drive the vehicle around the 700 or so miles it takes to get a reading (probably a month) and I'm responsible for any liability.

Wiring harness melted, had to be replaced. Dealer at first attempted to say it was a loose oil cap that caused the problem, then after a week for repair simply said the wiring harness melted and had to be replaced. Vehicle was in shop over at 4,000 miles, because the high pressure oil cap fell off of the vehicle, and it lost all of its oil, numerous times in the shop for injectors, Ford knows about the problem but refuses to fix the truck. So needless to say it is a faulty product, it has lost all of its oil once, its parts were melted, which says to me unsafe. I did not receive any information on a recall for the engine. My father was driving it to the shop when the radio was going in and out, he thought it was a problem with the battery. While it melted the harness it could have melted my father. The truck no longer runs and sits because it is to costly to repair every 10,000 miles. I do not remember the exact month I have a stack of repair orders.

While vehicle was parked a fire started in the engine compartment. The fire was put out. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

The vehicle was parked. Consumer plugged the front vehicle heater in and went into the house. Later, the dog started to bark. Consumer looked out, and the vehicle was on fire. Vehicle was totaled.
