We were using our Ford f350 diesel (6. 0 motor) with 63,000. We were going 70 mph on the interstate pulling a loaded 5 horse trailer when the truck would not accelerate, 15 seconds later engine cut off. We were in the left lane and had no power to steer off the road and could not come to a fast stop because of the weight of the of horse trailer. We had to coast approximately 100 yards and pull off on the left side because traffic was too heavy and going to fast to let us over to the right side. Truck would not start again. Had to be towed off the interstate and home. Took it to the repair shop and was told the engine locked up and needs to be replaced at a cost of $7500 to $10000. I checked on warranty and because it is a 2003 it is expired. Called Ford and was told there was no recalls.

I was traveling down rte 37w in toms river NJ when a loud "boom" occurred in my engine followed by a continuous loud "ticking" sound. I had my vehicle towed (2003 Ford F-350) to the local Ford dealership for investigation. After speaking with lead technicians at Ford, I was informed that this is a very common issue with Ford motors and they are surprised this has not been recalled. My spark plug was ejected out of the cylinder head due to lack of threading within the cylinder head. This will cost approx $4000. 00 to repair this. I have contacted Ford directly and they cannot assist me with this repair and do not recognize this to be a problem with Ford motors.

There is even a class action suit that is in the works out of California. . Read more...
