TAKARA RECALL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I ALL THE SUDDEN HAD A LOSS OF POWER AND IT WAS LIKE THE MOTOR WAS SPUTTERING LIKE IT HAD A MISFIRE AFTER THAT IT'S VERY HARD TO START AND BARELY MOVES IT COMES UP WITH MULTIPLE INJECTOR CODES THAT ALL FAILED AT THE SAME TIME SOME HIGH SOME LOW
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.
MY TRUCK STARTED TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY, I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE NUMEROUS REPAIRS PERFORMED. I SAW NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V270000 WHICH REFERENCES FORD RECALL NO. 05S34. I CALLED TO INQUIRE AT WEST BROTHERS FORD IN SULLIVAN MO. AND WAS TOLD MY TRUCK HAS NO RECALLS. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE FIRST PERSON SAID THE RECALL EXPIRED AND MY TRUCK WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND PERSON SAID MY TRUCK WASN'T AFFECTED BECAUSE THE RECALL SAID "CERTAIN" VEHICLES. MY TRUCK FALLS IN THE MANUFACTURE DATES LISTED ON THE RECALL, HAS THE 6.0 ENGINE AND IS STALLING NOW. I HAVE OWNED MY TRUCK SINCE NEW AND IT HAS NOT HAD THIS WORK PERFORMED ON IT. I WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT "CERTAIN" VEHICLES APPLY TO THIS RECALL AND WHY MINE DOESN'T. I WOULD ALSO LIKE MY TRUCK FIXED OR REIMBURSED BY FORD, UNLESS THEY CAN SHOW WHY MY TRUCK DOESN'T NEED THE WORK DONE. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER. THANK YOU. ## VIN PASSED ## FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 2004 ## *TR
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

THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS IDENTICAL TO THIS AND THE REMEDY WAS IDENTICAL HOWEVER, IT COST ME $350.00 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT A MONTH TO LATE OR TO EARLY, NOT SURE. *TR
PULLING OUT ONTO HIGHWAY AND ENGINE LOSES POWER AND SOMETIMES STALLS. THIS CONDITION WAS OCCASIONAL BUT NOW IS CONSTANT. WHEN I PULL ONTO A ROADWAY AND IT STALLS, CARS HAVE TO BRAKE TO KEEP FROM CRASHING. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A MANUFACTURER/SPONSORED RECALL BUT WHEN I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE A RECALL LISTED. *TR
NO ACCELERATION WHEN THROTTLE PUSHED. MY 2004 FORD F-250 HAS A SITUATION WHERE I CAN BE SETTING AT A INTERSECTION GETTING READY TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC, AND WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE THROTTLE, NOTHING HAPPENS LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK IDLES PULLING ME INTO TRAFFIC, NO ACCELERATION HAPPENS AT ALL. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. A MAJOR ACCIDENT COULD EASILY OCCUR. *TR
FICM ON MY 6.0 SUPER DUTY IS CAUSING RUNNING PROBLEMS THIS IS JUST ANOTHER IN A LONG LIST OF ISSUES FORD IS AWARE OF, IF THE TRUCK WAS TO STOP RUNNING DURING FREEWAY SPEEDS THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO MY FAMILY DUE TO LOSS OF BRAKING AND STEERING. I USE THIS TRUCK TO TOW A TRAVEL TRAILER AND AT THIS TIME I DO NOT FEEL THIS TRUCK IS SAFE ENOUGH TO DO THIS. THE LOCAL DEALER WANTS $1200.00+ TO REPAIR THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM. I AM NOT IN THE POSITION TO REPLACE THIS VEHICLE. OTHER PROBLEMS REPLACED 4 EGR IN 50,000 MILES. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING VERY FREQUENTLY, ALMOST EVERY TIME ITS DRIVEN. VERY DANGEROUS TO LOSE POWER WHILE OPERATING. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO A DEALER WHO IS INSTALLING NEW PARTS, WHICH ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL OF THIS EXACT MAKE, MODEL, YEAR. WE WERE INFORMED BY FORD, THAT OUR TRUCK WAS EXCLUDED DUE TO BEING PRODUCED IN THE MONTH PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEGIN DATE. RECALL IS ON 2004 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 6.0 DIESEL, MY TRUCK EXACTLY. EVERYTHING STATED IN THE RECALL IS THE SAME. SAME PROBLEM, SAME ANSWER. IT IS COSTING AROUND $1600.00 FOR THE REPAIRS. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 05V270000. OBVIOUSLY THIS RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE A LARGER NUMBER OF VEHICLES. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I HAD IT CHECKED AND FOUND THAT IT WAS CODE #P2285 OR ICP SENSOR CIRCUIT. THE TRUCK IDLES ERRATIC AND THE MOTOR SURGES. THE FORD DEALER SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER SAFETY RECALL #05S34 BECAUSE OF THE BUILD DATE. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET. *TR
