general problems of the 2005 Ford F-350

[xxx] who performs automotive work out of his residence [xxx] and [xxx] of [xxx] have worked on this vehicle to spite the customer and to gouge the customer in unnecessary fraudulent repairs. They have deliberately set this vehicle up to fail with the braking system, the 6. 0 engine being rebuilt to no avail, and constant driving problems such as pulling to the right and the left when brakes applied, constant overheating, constant oil temperature overheating, shuttering at highway speed, transmission failure, air conditioning failure, coolant system failure, electrical system failure, and every system that they have repaired, continues to fail. They specifically performed work on the electrical wiring and truck keeps blowing fuses. They performed work on the transmission and the transmission failed shortly after. They performed work on the engine and deleted illegally all the emissions egr pollutant controls. They installed faulty wiring for the electric trailer brake controls and the electronic speed controls. They tampered with the air conditioning system causing the compressor to blow out, send metal through the a/c lines, and the belt stopped turning causing the serpentine belt to break, tear the fan shroud apart and shred. They also installed a trailer brake controller that was aftermarket and it caused brake loss and intermittent failure with the service brake system and speed control. Domingo also tuned the computer to make the truck output 550 horsepower which caused the new engine to fail prematurely and the transmission to fail as well.

[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.

I have a 2005 Ford f350 4 wdr, super duty with v10, 4 sp. Auto, VIN no. 1ftwf31y85ea85131. I experienced sudden vehicle acceleration, ie. From a stopped position with vehicle in drive and foot on brake the vehicle, lunged forward, heavy braking would not stop vehicle it only caused acceleration. Only impact with mail box and snow bank stopped vehicle. I compaired what had just happened with pressing on the accelerater and brake at the same time and this was different and did not result in loss of control.

Lost fan belt traveling 65/mph therby lost all steering and brakes . Was on secondary highway coasted into a small town and used my emergency brake to stop. My wife panicked just lucky I was driving ,having been a mechanic for 35 years had enough sense to not panic and use emergency brake to stop.

Trailer brake controller only allows minimal electric current to trailer under 15 mph. I am told, dot knows of this problem in Ford f 350 trucks mfrd. Prior to 03/05. Covered by Ford bulletin. Ford refuses to update or repair. Not enough brakes under 15 mph to stop trailer or to test for trailer brakes.

I was backing loaded trailer down incline toward pond; "tow command" trailer brake controller did not work properly and the 2005 F-350 super duty truck, with wheels locked, was dragged backward toward the edge of the pond by weight of the trailer and its load; trailer and truck stopped before reaching edge of pond. This has occurred at other times, indicating that brake controller does not provide adequate braking in reverse at low speeds. The problem was reported to the selling dealer, who said their checks indicate the controller is working according to Ford specifications at the date of manufacturer in September, 2004, though a new version of the controller apparently has been installed on later models, beginning around March of 2006. The dealer and Ford customer service representatives have thus far refused to replace the controller with the updated version and maintain there is not adequate proof that the controller does not work properly.

The consumer owns a 2005 Ford f350 super duty dually with the brake controller built in the dashboard. When applying brakes at 10 mph or under, there is not enough voltage to activate the brake pump actuator, resulting in no trailer brakes at this speed. The brake controller override does not function at this level as well. The consumer took the truck to dealer, who verified this issue, but they said this was the way it was made and was not a problem. No corrections or repairs were done at this time. The dealer contacted Ford, and they confirmed what the dealer said.
