Vehicle stalls while driving and wont start again suddenly while operating. Fuel injectors won’t feed fuel line to restart or operate. Occasional start but then stalls continuously until battery dies from trying. Will start when priming the carburetor however will not stay running and stalls out.

The all very common issues with the year f350 and the 6. 0 l. Engines, are as such. The malfunctioning ficm. The high and low oil coolers, the inter coolers and head studs. Also leaking break fluid .

[xxx], [xxx] approx age 40 lives and works at [xxx]. [xxx] can also control the computers to cancel out and delete the use of catalytic converters, delete the use of def intake, delete the use of dpf particulate filters, and not react to controls such as manual braking or acceleration because the computer is controlling when and not the driver. [xxx] strictly states that he cannot have any emissions controls such as egr, def, dpf, catalyst, or any pollutant controls. [xxx] intentionally set it up to have flaws and be dangerous for one reason: to get the customer to keep returning again and again with vehicle problems, wiring electrical problems, performance problems, overheating problems, and never ending engine problems not to mention transmission problems because the transmission could not handle the increased output of the engine. The hydroboost and abs module and master cylinder that controls the brakes can be easily rigged so that when the driver stomps on the brakes, there is no braking action whatsoever for a 3-5 second delay before skidding the tires and locking the brakes. [xxx] altered the hydroboost and abs module and master cylinder and the electronic controls to the braking system. [xxx] [xxx] partner admitted the hydrobooster and master cylinder was the problem because he admitted what [xxx] did as sabotage to the customer’s truck. [xxx] deletes the dpf and def and the electronics rewiring the truck. [xxx] has a pattern of keeping customers vehicles for excessively long periods of time: 42 days to change batteries, change fuel pump change pcm fusebox and rewire truck. [xxx] has removed the all the catalytic converters and he has removed all the egr and emissions pollutant controls on [xxx]. [xxx] has sabotaged this truck’s braking system, electrical systems, fuse box wiring, electronic braking wiring, accelerator electronic control.

While driving down the highway(45-55mph) vehicle dash lights, radio, windows all stop working. They come back on randomly. No change to little change when re-starting. Vehicle also loses power and the engine seems to pause and go, over and over like it's struggling. I've taken it to several Ford certified mechanics who are baffled.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving approximatelty 35 mph the vehicle suddenly shut off. After restarting the engine to vehicle would operate as normal but the failure would continued to occur. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer mathews Ford located at 1101 west sw. Express dr. Broken arrow, ok. Who diagnosed that the electrical wire harness was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed by the manufacturer that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA recall campaign number 05v270000(electrical system) although the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was eire harness 45,000. Jft.

The instrument cluster and radio cut out frequently while the vehicle is running. This causes the speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, thermostats, and odometer to show there is no power to them and the needles rests as they do when the vehicle is off. The radio also cuts out during this time. This happens when the vehicle is stationary, moving, on city streets, and on highways. There is no warning when this happens. It will stay off for seconds to minutes. Currently there is no recall from Ford. There is information on the internet concerning others with the same problem so this is not a single vehicle issue. I am currently unable to get a state vehicle safety inspection due to the instruments not functioning properly.

Vehicle stall/die while driving without any warning. When the vehicle dies, unable to turn the steering wheel and no power at all. Have a recall number 05s34, but Ford dealership won't repair it because my VIN isn't on recall. What should I do next?.

Aug 1, 2014 fuel injection failure, due to fuel injection wire harness chafing. Sept 15 fuel injection failure due to ficm failure resulting in severe loss of power. Vehicle barely moves, strong possibility of crash due to vehicles unexpected sudden loss of power and inability to move. Incidents closely relate to recall 05v270000 for vehicle manufactured close to same dates. Believe that recall should be reopened and extended to include all 6. 0 diesel engines.

While approaching a stop light after doing 60mph on the highway, vehicle shut itself down causing loss of control and braking system. I was able to bring vehicle to safe and complete stop which caused a traffic jam.

Pulling into driveway, motor started running very rough, vehicle stalled and would not restart. Towed to Ford. Replaced engine control module.

The past three years we have had our Ford 350 superduty truck in the shop due to the "tow haul" light would come on. Last year it had stalled on me while crossing intersection at a four way stop. It did not happen until approx. Three weeks ago, the truck has stalled several times while driving without warning. It took the local dealer a week to find out that it was the fuel injection control module wire harness. If there was a recall on the 2003-2004 why is Ford not fixing our 2005 that is also stalling while driving it. And they could not really find the problem why the tow haul light was coming on often. Ford company told the local Ford service that they will not replace the parts free and the local Ford service told us that they would cut $400 off of $1700.

I was driving and the 2005 f350 shut off and the brakes and steering became hard, which made it difficult to get out of the way; while on the freeway going at 85 mph. Luckily I was passing a Ford dealer and took the truck in. This problem started about 2 months ago and continued off and on.

While on I-95, my 2005 F-350 super-duty sputter and lost power. The truck went from 60mph with flow of traffic to 40mph in seconds. Making evasive measure from getting tag from behind, I was forced to the shoulder of the road which was taking up by snow. The truck crawled half on shoulder and half in the right lane while cars made there evasive action in order to miss me. After getting to a place to pull off the highway it took about 5-10min for it to clear up. The dealer informed me that the fuel tank was deteriorating and proceeded to ask me about my fuel and were I get it, because it must be contaminated. I also own three other diesel trucks a 1995, 1996 and 2000 and they all run on the same fuel from the same gas station. But yet all these tanks are find. The dealer wants to replace this tank at my cost with a new one. After reading all the complaints on other web sites, this problem will unmask it self again down the road. At this time I will probably bring the truck home until I can come up with a solution.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-350 superduty. The contact stated that the tow command works intermittently and provides false data. The failure causes the trailer brakes to engage when they should not. The warning message indicated that the trailer was disconnected. The Ford dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The current mileage is 30,000 and failure mileage was 25,000.

I have an F-350 super duty diesel. The truck was parked in the driveway @ 7:30 pm. Around 12:15 am, my wife heard a loud popping noise and what sounded like a banging type crash. She thought a car had crashed out in front of the house, so she looked out the window and saw the truck with flames coming out from under the hood. We called the fire dept. And sprayed water on our eaves until they arrived. I will need to replace the eaves above the garage, garage doors, several items in the garage that melted or burned as well as work tools and all personal items from the truck. I will also have to re-paint my house due to the fire and smoke from the truck going across the front of my house above the garage. The fire investigator reports that the fire started under the hood. I contacted the Ford dealer where I have purchased 5 trucks in the past year! when asked about recalls or if this was covered under warranty due to the year of the truck and where the fire started, they responded that there is no recall, and they would not cover anything under warranty???? this is actually the second Ford truck in about six months that I have had catch fire????? the first was an F-350 that I used as one of my work trucks. That fire actually stared while the truck was being driven back to my shop from a job. The fire dept. Stated the fire had also started under the hood in the engine compartment. I had no idea that there were any issues with Ford trucks and fires. Had I known, I would have never turned the first truck into my insurance carrier without raising questions regarding possible faulty parts as a cause of damage.

The contact states the brakes will not stop the vehicle when hauling a trailer. He took the vehicle to Ford dealership to have the brakes inspected. There was not enough voltage going to the brakes to make the vehicle stop. The vehicle needed a new brain box with eight volts instead of three and one half volts. The repairs will be made at the contact's expense. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance.
