Three problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 2006 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Purchased this vehicle less than a year ago and was originally very pleased. Suddenly we are now experiencing the death wobble as other have described. The violent shaking of the front end. This usually occurs when you are approaching the speed of 60mph. We do not have to hit a bump for it to happen. The other complaint, is that we bought this truck with very low mileage for the year, ran great, looked great, very pleased until this last month when the check engine light came on and it seems to sputter. Put some high quality fuel injector cleaner in the truck, thinking it may be a injector sticking. Nope, didn't fix the problem. Light never went off. Took it to a dealership, they tested it and came back with your fuel tank is deteriorating putting little metal shards in your engine. You are looking at a potential full engine rebuild costing a minimum of $6000. This is unacceptable for any vehicle manufacturer to not recall a vehicle that has a serious known problem. We are stuck with this truck that is not worth the damn paper the title is written on. It is tiring of reading all these similar complaints and no one is defending the consumers. At what point, does the manufacturer need to be held responsible to own up to the faulty equipment and fix the problems? when my child is killed because of the inability to control the vehicle due to the steering problems in the front end or that it stops running in the middle of the highway or downtown traffic because the fuel tank deteriorated for no reason and destroyed the engine.
The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-350. While driving approximately 50 mph, the contact drove over an uneven road surface and the front end of the vehicle began to shake vigorously. The vehicle would also shake abnormally when decelerating. The contact stated that in addition, the check engine warning light was illuminated, the vehicle would erratically shift, and the fuel tank was delaminating. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics but the technicians were unable to determine the cause of the shaking. The technicians were able to determine that the transmission shift sensor and the fuel tank would have to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the transmission was rebuilt. And the transmission shift sensor was replaced. The fuel tank was not replaced. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
This a f350 king ranch diesel. The vehicle suffered a severe loss of power and was limped in (10 mph) to rokstad Ford in sandpoint, id. They diagnosed low fuel injector pressure and replaced the fuel control module. The vehicle was driven home and the check engine light came on. Low injection pressure was diagnosed and an oil pressure line was replaced. The check engine light came back on the next day as well as intermittent loss of power experienced and low injector pressure was still the problem. A sensor was replaced. The light came back on the same day. The problem has not been corrected.
