Driving over a mountain pass in the snow, coming downhill at approximately 5% grade when the throttle became non-responsive. Very soon after the truck died completely-no power steering and no power brakes in snowy conditions. I managed to get the truck to the side of the road but wasn't able to get more than 6" off the fog line due to the snow. I was very lucky that an accident did not occur because roadway conditions were not good and the situation could have had drastic consequences. I was also very lucky that my wife was following close behind me and we were able to 1) get cell phone service on the pass and 2) wait for the tow truck in the other vehicle. We ended up waiting on the side of the road for 2 hrs in the dark waiting for a tow truck with my wife and three daughters and no food. Finally got the truck towed to the dealership on a Sunday and waited for them to open today. They informed me that the ficm needed to be replaced but my truck was not covered under the recall (05v270000 electrical system wiring) even though the description matches what happened to me exactly! I have the wrong VIN # so I am not covered even though the problem is exactly the same! this is a serious safety issue! losing power at 60 mph in a crew cab long box diesel pickup is not for the faint of heart! not to mention that some of our personal property was damaged because we could not get all of it into our explorer. Ford needs to come to the plate before someone is seriously injured or killed!.

I have a 2005 Ford F-350 with approximately 50,000 miles on it. Over the past 4 months my truck has been not starting after it has been driven and occasionally stalling while being driven. I have had the cam sensor, crank sensor, & fuel sending unit all replaced to no avail. I brought it to the Ford dealer and they were unable to "reproduce the not starting", told me to change all filters to Ford brand and change the oil. After spending $350 on just filters the truck is still broken, I can not drive it. There is a campaign for this problem #05v270000, unfortunately Ford says they can not fix my vehicle because my VIN# was not included. I had a friend look at my truck who has a computer to look up the codes, while the truck is plugged in. He reproduced the not starting while the computer was plugged in and the code came up for the ficm which is what the recall from NHTSA is for. I went to the dealer and was told basically to bad. The truck will not start after being driven on a daily basis. Because of the safety concerns with the truck leaving me stranded or even worse stalling while I drive it and causing an accident, I do not drive the truck. Ford should be responsible for fixing these problems.

July 1, 2006 at approximately 10:30 am, I was traveling on I-81 at 65 mph towing a 9,000 lb. Trailer and the truck stalled without warning. No check engine light and no hesitation. It simply died. Without power brakes or steering, the truck was completely uncontrollable. Luckily, we were on a section of highway with wide shoulders and light traffic. The truck died so suddenly that I couldn't even pull to the shoulder. The truck came to a complete stop in the left lane and would not restart. Drivers behind me swerved to the should to avoid a collision. The dealer did not find a problem and did nothing to prevent this situation from occurring again. After the truck sat at the dealer for 2 days (over the weekend), it started for the technician on the following Monday. The dealer informed me that NHTSA #05v270000 does not apply to my truck, although this campaign number describes the exact situation that occurred with my truck.
