2004 Ford F-350 SD complaints

2004 F350 SUPERDUTY 6.0 DIESEL 110025 MILES ON TRUCK. THE VEHICLE WILL SOME TIME SPUTTER ONE TO THREE TIMES AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF SOMETIME STARTING, SOMETIMES FAILING TO START. WHILE DRIVING AT TIMES THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF SOMETIMES WILL RESTART SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP SHOP TO BE FIXED AND THEY CAN NOT AT THIS TIME FIND AN ANSWER. I FEEL THIS MIGHT BE SIMILAR TO A RECALL NOTICE FOR OTHER TRUCK OF THIS SORT, BUT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER DOES NOT FOLLOW UNDER THIS ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER THAT HAS SIMILAR PROBLEM IS 05V270000. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY INJURIES OR DAMAGE YET, BUT A VEHICLE THAT JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO ME. I HAVE ONLY OWED IT SINCE 6 AUG 10 AND NO PROBLEM OF THIS SORT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED AS REPORTED ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS ACTED UP EVER DAY EXCEPT ONE DAY FROM THE PERIOD OF 6 AUG10 TO 12 AUG 10. *TR

EGR COOLER ON MY FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY DIESEL WENT OUT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY FIXED IT WITH ABOUT A $100 FEE. JUST TODAY MY TRUCK STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUE SO I TOOK IT IN AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE EGR COOLER AND THAT BECAUSE OF THAT ISSUE IT HAS RUINED THE HEAD GASKETS ALSO. THE MECHANIC AT FORD TOLD ME THAT MOST TRUCKS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE WILL ALWAYS HAVE THIS ISSUE RECURRING EVERY YEAR OR SO. WONDERING WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BY FORD. AFTER THE MECHANIC TOLD ME ABOUT THE ISSUE I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE SO MANY THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE OR HAVE HAD IT BEFORE. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A USED 2004 FORD F350 HEAVY DUTY TRUCK IN SUMMER OF 2006. I WOULD SAY WITHIN THE FIRST 6-8 MONTHS OF OWNING THE TRUCK WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK CUTTING OUT (NO POWER). WE HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY CHANGED OUT A FEW HOSES AND DID A FEW OTHER THINGS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AND NOW THEY WON'T BACK THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO CUT OUT (LOSE POWER). THE TRUCK LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALMOST EVERY OTHER TIME WE DRIVE THE TRUCK. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE CROSSED MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND HAD THE TRUCK LOSE POWER AND ALMOST GOT HIT FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC GOING 65-70MPH. THE DEFECT OF THIS TRUCK IS GOING TO TAKE MINE OR MY HUSBANDS LIFE ALONG WITH INNOCENT PASSENGERS. IT'S A DANGER TO HAVE ON THE ROAD BUT FORD CAN'T FIND THE DEFECT AND WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I'M WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS GOING TO TAKE A LIFE AND IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE BLOODY HANDS OF FORD CO. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD SEVERAL TIMES THEY STATE IT ISN'T THEIR PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED MN ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THEY HAVE WRITTEN FORD A LETTER WITH NO RESULTS. I AM ALSO GOING TO CONTACT LOCAL TV STATIONS AND LET THEM KNOW THE DANGER THAT FORD HAS ALLOWED ON THE ROADS. I'M HOPING YOU CAN HELP. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED WHEN SUDDENLY THE ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE STALLING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITHIN TEN MINUTES AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V270000, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WIRING WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE IDENTICAL FAILURE AS MENTIONED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 71,000.

NOTICED A VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING 2004 F-350 IN FRONT. NOTICED A LARGE BLISTER ON THE SIDEWALL OF RT FT INSIDE TIRE. SIZE IS @3.5"ROUND AND 1.5 INCHES HIGH. REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH SPARE. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED TREAD SEPARATION ON OTHER 3 TIRES. JUST OVER 1 YEAR OLD. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 F350 DIESEL TRUCK. AS I WAS TRAVELING ON I75, THE VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED DROPPED TO BELOW 30 MPH. THIS CAUSED A PROBLEM AS I WAS MOVING SUBSTANTIALLY SLOWER THAN SURROUNDING TRAFFIC WHICH WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM. EXAMINATION OF FUEL TANK BY A REPAIR PERSON SHOWED A DELAMINATION OF THE TANK. I HAVE HAD THE TANK CLEANED OUT BUT WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE TANK. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2004 AND 2005 FORD TRUCKS. *TR

ENGINE DIES AND/OR LOOSES POWER. HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN CHANGED:FICM, , ENGINE OIL (THOUGHT PROBLEM DUE TO OIL PUMP), FUEL FILTERS, CAM SENSOR SWITCH, CLEANED EGR VALVE AND ALL PASSAGES, REPLACED INJECTOR PRESSURE CONTROLLER, REPLACED EGR VALVE. LAST TRIP TO DEALER WAS MAY 3, 2010. NO PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY WHEN PULLING OUT OF A SIDE ROAD ONTO MAIN ROAD ENGINE DIED WITH VEHICLE BLOCKING BOTH LANES OF TRAFFIC-PUSH TIME--ACCIDENT AVOIDED ONLY BECAUSE NO TRAFFIC. THE BASIC PROBLEM WITH TRYING TO GET THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED IS NO CODES ARE SET. AFTER MONTHS OF FAILS, IT SET A "BAD FICM" CODE, CHANGED FICM, NO CHANGE IN PROBLEM, REPEATED TRIPS TO DEALER, FINALLY GET A "BAD CAM SENSOR" CODE, CHANGED CAM SENSOR, NO CHANGE IN PROBLEM. DEALER LOOKED AT EGR, PARAMETERS DETERMINED TO BE OUT OF LIMITS, CLEANED EGR & ALL ASSOCIATED PASSAGES, RAN FINE FOR 10 DAYS, FAILED 3 DAYS IN A ROW, OLD DEALER OUT OF BUSINESS, NEW DEALER CHANGED BOTH IPC & EGR AT MY DIRECTION SINCE THEY REPORTED TO ME BOTH ITEMS COULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM, RAN FINE FROM MAY 3 TO MAY 8, 2010. MULTIPLE FAILURES TODAY WITH ONE LEAVING ME BLOCKING BOTH LANES OF TRAFFIC AT US25 & DOUBLE CULVERT, GEORGETOWN, KY. GET VEHICLE OUT OF HARM'S WAY, GET IT RESTARTED, FAILS MULTIPLE TIMES, THEN DECIDES TO RUN OK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 F-350 SD. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE INTERNAL PARTS CONNECTED TO THE TURBO CHARGER WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND DRIVE UNUSUALLY ROUGH. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE, THE FAILURE WOULD CORRECT ITSELF. THE VEHICLE DEMONSTRATED SIGN OF THE FAILURE SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN INSPECTED BY TWO SEPARATE DEALERS WHERE THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V270000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: WIRING) WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAILURE BUT COULD NOT CONFIRM IF HIS VIN WAS INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,610.

I HAVE A FORD F-350 WITH A 6.0 DIESEL ENGINE. THIS ENGINE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. WHICH CREATES A HAZARD FOR ALL WHO OWN ONE AND TO THE PUBLIC . THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE COMPLAINED TO YOU ABOUT THIS ENGINE. WHY AREN'T YOU PEOPLE DOING SOMETHING WITH FORD AND INTERNATIONAL. TWO TIMES MY TRUCK HAS DUMPED HALF THE OIL OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. ONCE WHEN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP BLEW A SEAL AND AGAIN WHEN THE OIL COOLER AND EGR COOLER BUSTED. IF THIS TRUCK IS DOING IT THEN ALL THE OTHER 6.0 DIESEL TRUCKS ON THE ROAD ARE TOO. IF YOU GOOGLE THE OIL COOLERS AND EGR COOLERS YOU WILL SEE JUST HOW BIG THE PROBLEM IS. IF THIS IS NOT A HAZARD THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. IF THEY SOLD SAY, 300,000 OF THESE TRUCKS A YEAR FROM 2003 TO 2007 , THAT'S 5 YEARS TIMES 300,000 TIMES 5 QUARTS (LESS THAN HALF, TRUCK HOLDS 15 QTS)5 X 300,000 X 5 = 7,500,000 QTS OF POSSIBLE OIL SPILLED OR 1,875,000 GALLONS OF OIL SPILLED IF THESE TRUCKS ONLY SPILL 5 QUARTS OVER THEIR LIFE TIME. MOST OF THE TRUCKS WILL DO IT MORE THAN ONCE. WHEN THE OIL COOLER BUSTS THE OIL GOES INTO THE RADIATOR AND OUT THE OVER FLOW INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. UPDATED 05/04/10.*JB

3 ISSUES: 1) VEHICLE STOPPED AT RED LITE, FOOT ON THE BRAKE, ENGINE RPM SUDDENLY INCREASE, LAST TIME 3/4/10. 2) VEHICLE DIES, LAST TIME DIED 3 TIME ON 3/1/10, TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP, NTF 3) SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, 3/1/10, NTF, REPEATED ON 3/2/10, VEHICLE GOES TO IDLE STATE. *TR

MY 2004 FORD 350 SUPER DUTY BEGAN IRREGULAR FUEL FEEDING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN RT 95 FROM VA TO GA. I PULLED OFF AT AN EXIT IN KINGSLAND, GA. AND GOT A ROOM AT THE DAYS INN. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN THE MOTEL PARKING LOT...WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE...THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE TRUCK MOVED AT LEAST 15-20 FEET FORWARD BECAUSE OF THE FUEL SURGING. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND NEVER TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND I COULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK FROM MOVING FORWARD. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A BAD "SENSOR." THEY CHARGED ME ABOUT $1,400 FOR REPAIRS AND IT HAS BEEN WORKING FINE SINCE. I AM REPORTING THIS TO NHTSA, IN PART, BECAUSE OF THE TOYOTA PUBLICITY RECENTLY. I'M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, I'M A FORD LOYALIST, BUT IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT A SURGE LIKE THE ONE I EXPERIENCED IN MY SUPER DUTY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR DEATH TO OTHERS IF IT HAD OCCURRED UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. MY TRUCK IS THE 6.0 LITER MODEL AND ONLY HAD ABOUT 52,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME IT BEGAN SURGING. I CAN PROBABLY FIND THE RECEIPT FOR REPAIRS AND THE NAME/NUMBER OF THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHO REPAIRED THE TRUCK IF NEEDED. THANKS! *TR

TOYOTA VEHICLES ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHICH EXHIBIT UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. I OWN A 2004 FORD F-350 HEAVY DUTY TRUCK WHICH HAS PERIODICALLY SURGED 500-1000 RPM SINCE ABOUT 5K ODOMETER MILES. THIS NOW OCCURS ABOUT ONE OUT OF TWO TIMES I DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR AN HOUR OR SO. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, NUMEROUS TIMES, AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY 'CAN'T JUST THROW PARTS AT IT' IN ORDER TO FIX IT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE TIME (5 YEARS) PORTION OF THE WARRANTY HAS LAPSED, THOUGH THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 48K MILES, WITH WARRANTY BEING 100K MILES OR 5 YEARS. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE ENGINE DIED AFTER SURGING WHILE NAVIGATING THROUGH A TURN, CAUSING POWER STEERING FAILURE AND NEARLY RESULTED IN MY HITTING A TELEPHONE POLE. THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNT DESCRIBES ONLY ONE INCIDENT OF MANY I'VE EXPERIENCED IN THIS VEHICLE'I'D BE GLAD TO DETAIL OTHERS. ONE MONTH AGO, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND I WAS UNABLE TO HALT IT UNTIL I HAD REACHED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS A PEDESTRIAN WHO HAD ALREADY CROSSED IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK, WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED HAD THE TIMING BEEN DIFFERENT. HAD THERE BEEN A VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME, OR CROSS-TRAFFIC VEHICLES, THERE WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN A COLLISION. THIS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ONE-HALF BLOCK FROM A SCHOOL ZONE FOR AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AS A RETIRED EDUCATOR AND FORMER MARINE, I CONSIDER MYSELF AB

I OWN A 2004 F350 SUPER DUTY FORD 6.0 TURBODIESEL. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE EGR COOLER THREE TIMES STARTING IN 2006. THE LAST PROBLEM I HAD STARTED OUT LIKE THE EGR COOLER THEN I DEVELOPED AND OIL LOSE THE WHEN I ASK THE DIESEL MECH. I WAS TOLD THE IT SOUNDED LIKE A HEAD GASKET. THAT SAME DIESEL MECH. INFORMED ME THAT IN THE LAST 5 YEARS HE HIMSELF HAD TO REPAIR LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF 6.0 FORD DIESELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE PROBLEMS I HAD STARTED AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS OUT AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE 6.0 ENGINE DUE TO WHAT THE WARRANTY AGENT DESCRIBED AS A MAJOR ENGINE DEVELOPMENT FLAW BY THE 6.0 DESIGNERS. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING. YET I HAVE SEEN NO HELP FROM FORD. *TR

2005 FORD F-350 CREW CAB DUALLY, 2 WHEEL DRIVE EXPERIENCED FRONT WHEEL OSCILLATION (AKA "DEATH WOBBLE") WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE 10 EASTBOUND NEAR BLYTHE, CA. THE TRUCK SHOOK SO BAD I NEARLY DROVE OFF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE I SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH FOR IT TO DAMP OUT AND STOP SHAKING. I HAD A SLIDE IN CAMPER ON THE TRUCK AT THE TIME. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE F-SERIES FORD PICK UP TRUCKS AND FORD HAS DONE LITTLE TO RESOLVE IT. THE TRUCK IS PURE STOCK WITH ONLY 35,600 MILES ON IT. MY EXAMINATION OF THE STEERING LINKAGE REVEALED NO LOOSE OR WORN BALL JOINTS OR TIE ROD ENDS. *TR

I OWN A 2004 FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY DIESEL TRUCK AND I PURCHASED IT BRAND FROM SHEEHY FORD DEALERSHIP IN MARLOW HEIGHTS. THIS TRUCK STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND HAS DONE SO SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE REPAIRED AND THE DEALER SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO STALL. PLEASE REFER TO CAMPAIGN NO. 05V270000. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD LIKE FOR US TO SHARE IN THE COST OF REPAIR, BUT WE DO NOT WANT TO PAY AGAIN FOR THIS VEHICLE TO BE FIXED, HAVE THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THEN THE CAR NOT FALL UNDER WARRANTY AND WE ARE STUCK AGAIN WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND ANOTHER HIGH PRICED BILL TO PAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH THE REAR BRAKES FAILED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED, AND THAT THE VALVE COVER GASKET HAD FAILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED, BUT BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. HE MADE THE REPLACEMENTS HIMSELF. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 67,000.

2004 F350 TRUCK WITH NEW TIRES PUT ON BY LANGDALE FORD DEALER ARE WRONG SIZE AND A DAMAGED WHEEL - I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK ON SEPT 2 2009, DURING TEST DRIVE I ADVISE SALESMAN CHRIS LANE ABOUT A ROUGH RIDE AND I THOUGH MAYBE A TIRE WAS OUT OF BALANCE. HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS FLAT SPOTS FROM SITTING ON THE LOT AND IT WOULD SMOOTH OUT AS I DROVE IT. AFTER 1 & A HALF WEEKS I CALLED BACK AND WAS REFERRED TO A JACK SR. WHOM IS THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE ADVISED ME THEY WOULD FOR $80-85.00 HR. PUT IT ON A COMPUTER AND CHECK IT OUT. I TOLD HIM IT WAS A TIRE OR WHEEL PROBLEM AND NO COMPUTER WOULD BE NEEDED BUT HE REFUSED ANY FURTHER HELP AND WAS VERY RUDE. FORD MTR, CO. WAS CONTACTED AND THEY CONTACTED LANGDALE ON MY BEHALF BUT GOT BRUSHED OFF TOO. THE WHEEL WAS FOUND BY A LOCAL TIRE SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT I HAD A UNSAFE WHEEL, IT HAD BEEN HEATED UP BY A CUTTING TORCH AND MADE TO FIT THIS TRUCK. THEY ORDER ME ANOTHER TIRE AND PUT IT ON THE SPARE RIM THAT HAD THE CORRECT TIRE SIZE BUT WOULD NOT MATCH THE OTHER TIRES ON THE TRUCK. UPON MY VISIT TO THE TIRE SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT THE WRONG SIZE TIRES HAD BEEN PUT ON BY LANGDALE FORD. THEY HAD PUT SIZE- 245/75R16 WIDER TIRES ON THE TRUCK AND IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE 235/85R16 NARROW TIRES AND THAT I COULD HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN WEIGHT WAS ADDED TO THESE TIRES IN THE REAR (DUEL TIRE TRUCK) CAUSING THE TIRES TO HEAT UP AND BLOW OUT. LUCKILY WE FOUND THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE TRAVELING WITH A LOAD AND THE BAD WHEEL DID NOT BRAKE THE STUDS. THESE WHEELS/TIRES AR
