2004 Ford F-250 Sd Driver assistance Problems

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY , COMPLETE LOSS OF THROTTLE BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT A LOW AMPERAGE. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED IT OFF. IT WOULDN'T START BACK UP RIGHT AWAY. HAD TO WAIT A WHILE IT WOULD START AND LIMPED IT HOME. NO PROBLEMS FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. A COUPLE TIMES IT WOULD START, BUT AT A LOW IDLE WITH NO RESPONSE OF THE GAS PEDDLE. THE FINAL STRAW WAS LAST WEEK. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK. EACH TIME I CAME TO A STOP, IT WOULD LOSE THROTTLE. I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON TO GET GOING. THEN AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION OF HWY 41 AND 145, IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY. I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT WOULD TURN BUT NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC ON SATURDAY AND MONDAY WHEN THEY GOT TO IT, AFTER CHARGING THE BATTERIES, IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO FAIL...WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS NO OIL PRESSURE ON THE GAUGE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS OR DEADLY. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN INJURED OR KILLED IF I HAD BEEN HIT.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 AND 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STALL. FUEL LIGHT ENGINE PREHEAT WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND/OR TOW HAUL ARE IN USE AT THE TIME OF THE STALL, THEY ARE SHUT OFF AT THE SAME TIME. ENGINE CAN USUALLY BE RESTARTED; ON A FEW OCCASIONS IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO TURN ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND ATTEMPT TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS NO LOAD AND ALSO WHEN PULLING A LIGHT WEIGHT FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 2 LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS, THEY HAVE REPLACED PARTS (ACCELERATOR PEDAL, & A "FUEL MANAGEMENT MODULE) BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AND CLAIM TO BE UNAWARE OF ANY HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2004 FORD 250 4 X 4 IS SURGING (TAKING OFF) WHEN I AM NOT ACCELERATING THE ENGINE. IT DOES THIS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED SEVERAL FIXES AND EVEN CALLED THEIR OWN HOTLINE. NOTHING IS WORKING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM AT TIMES SITTING A RED SIGNAL LIGHT ANT THE TRUCK WANTS TO TAKE OFF. MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY SUPPRESSED UPON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I TRAVEL DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET, GOING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MILES PER HOUR, AND MY TRUCK SURGES FORWARD AS THOUGH I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. I DID NOT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. I CAN BE GOING SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 75 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY, WHETHER IN STOP AND GO OR CONTINUOUS SPEED, AND THE TRUCK SURGES WITHOUT THE COMMAND OF MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE RPM NEEDLE JUMPS SUDDENLY AS WELL WHEN THIS OCCURS. IF I AM REPEATING MYSELF, IT IS BECAUSE I AM VERY CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS ANY PASSENGERS AND THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WITH ME WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. I HAVE GONE TO VARIOUS WEBSITE FORUMS AND I AM SEEING OTHER OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THE SAME THING, BUT FORD IS NOT FIXING THE SAFETY ISSUE. *NM

2004 FORD F250 DIESEL TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE POWER TO ACCELERATE IN THE MORNINGS. I CAN NOT PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITH ANY CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE HIT. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES TO FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS MANY OTHER PROBLEMS BUT IF THE COMPUTER CAN'T FIND THEM, THEY DO NOT EXIST AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I.E. TURBO BEING BLOWN, FUEL MILEAGE BECOMING LESS AND LESS ETC. *JB

DT; EVER SINCE CONSUMER BOUGHT FORD F250 IT JERKS OR BUCKS FORWARD WHEN AT A STOP OR DRIVING SLOW. DEALER BASICALLY SAY IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IT IS HARD FOR THEM TO FIX IT. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. IT MAY DO THIS AND STOP THEN IT WILL BEGIN AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS LAST WEEK. CONSUMER CALLED SERVICE DEPT AS IT WAS HAPPENING, AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. ACTUALLY HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL FOR SAFETY BECAUSE IT DOES THIS AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE STALLING AND LURCHES FORWARD EVEN WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. *TT
