2005 Ford F-250 Fuel system Problems

VEHICLE RANDOMLY DIES WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD DOES NOT MATTER SPEED OR WHAT ROAD YOU ARE ON HAPPENS TO THE POINT WE ALMOST EXPECT IT NOW EVERYTIME WE DRIVE. IT WILL ACT FINE NO WARNING THEN IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT JUST SHUTS OFF VERY DANGEROUS. IT ALSO, WILL RANDOMLY LOSS POWER NOT ALL THE TIME BUT OCCASIONALLY IF GOING OVER 45MPH, THE A/C WORKS UNTIL YOU DRIVE OVER 45MPH THEN JUST STOPS UNTIL YOU GET TO A STOP SIGN. TAKE OFF AGAIN ITS FINE TIL THAT 45MPH MARK THEN BLOWS HOT. HAD TRUCK SINCE SEPT. 2018 & HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 1 OUT OF 4X DRIVING THIS WILL ALL HAPPEN. TRUCK ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH FUELING UP THE TANK IT SHUTS THE PUMP OFF CONSTANTLY. MAIN PROBLEM & MOST WORRISOME IS THE SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK IT HAS STOPPED RUNNING AND JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF LIKE ITS NOT GETTING FUEL. I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THE F250 SUPER DUTY AND MY TRUCK IS RESPONDING EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT DUE TO SOMEONE HITTING ME OR IT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT SO I LOOKED ON HERE TODAY AND SAW THE RECALL FOR THE SUPER DUTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SOMEONE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I TRIED TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO GET FUEL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I AM VERY LUCKY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS BACK FAR ENOUGH THAT I TURNED ON MY FLASHERS AND THEY NOTICED OR I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE.

THE 2005 FORD F250 PICKUP TRUCKS HAS AN ISSUE WHILE FILLING VEHICLE WITH FUEL. THE FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF GAS TANK FILL INLET DURING THE FUELING PROCESS. THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN WITH THE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERING EMPTY, HALF, OR NEAR FULL. I HAVE HAD GAS SHOOT ALL OVER ME AND OTHER PEOPLE TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO NOT GET GAS IN THAT TRUCK AT EVERY GAS STATION NEAR MY HOME. I HAVE TO DRIVE ACROSS TOWN TO GET GAS. AS SOON AS THEY NOTICE FUEL SPILLING OUT OF MY TRUCK, I WILL BE BANNED FROM THEIR STATIONS TOO. THERE ARE 8 GAS STATIONS WITHIN 5 BLOCKS THAT HAVE BANNED ME. IT COSTS ME APPROX. $4 TO GO GET FUEL, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A STATION 1 BLOCK AWAY. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE MANY TIMES. THEY CLAIM IT ISN'T A RECALL ISSUE. I RESEARCHED THE FORD EXECUTIVES COMPANY EMAIL ADDRESSES AND SENT EMAILS TO THEM. THE EMAIL ADDRESSES WERE STILL VALID AND NOT RETURNED. THE EMAILS MADE IT TO THOSE EXECUTIVES BUT THEY NEVER RESPONDED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE FUEL SPILLAGE IS CAUSING A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND MAY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION AT A STORE. THE FORD MOTOR SERVICE PROFESSIONALS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE FILTER IN THE TANK HAS GONE BAD. I HAVE MADE THE COSTLY REPAIR 4 TIMES SINCE MAY OF 2008. IT WORKS WELL FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE GAS SHOOTS OUT AGAIN. ON ONE OF THOSE INSTANCES, THE FUEL SPILLED OUT, AND I FINISHED FUELING AND PULLED TO THE FRONT OF THE STORE TO REPORT THE SPILLAGE. SOMEONE DROVE UP IN THAT SPOT SMOKING A CIGARETTE AND CAUSED A FIRE FROM THE FUEL SPILLED AT THE PUMP. I WAS BANNED FROM THAT STORE AS WELL. I HAVE TO EITHER PAY FOR A COSTLY GAS TANK FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT, GET BANNED FROM STORES FOR HONESTLY REPORTING THE SPILLAGE, OR FUEL UP AND DRIVE AWAY FROM THE STORE BEFORE SOMEONE NOTICES THAT I SPILLED FUEL. I DON'T LIKE DOING ANY OF THOSE THINGS. FORD DOESN'T CARE. *TR

THE FUEL INJECTION CONTROL MODULE (FICM) FAILED ON MY TRUCK, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO NOT START OR RUN. THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPONENT FAILURE FOR THE 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE. IF IT FAILS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, IT COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY. FORD MUST BE AWARE OF THE COMMON FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT, YET NO RECALL TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY MODULES HAS BEEN ISSUED. IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY, I REQUEST THAT FORD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE ALL EXISTING FICM'S ON THE 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE WITH ONE OF BETTER QUALITY, AND REIMBURSE ALL OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES THAT HAVE ALREADY PAID THE EXCESSIVE REPAIR COSTS, COMMONLY OVER $1000, TO HAVE THEIR FAILED FICM'S REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, MY 2005 FORD F-250 DIESEL TRUCK ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED. I HAD TO WRESTLE WITH THE TRUCK TO GET IT STOPPED AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD NO STEERING WHEN THE TRUCK ENGINE STALLED SUDDENLY AND HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT STOPPED. I WAS TOWED HOME AS THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART. WE THEN TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ON JULY 26TH, AND IT HAS BEEN THERE UNTIL TODAY, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7TH, 2010. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP AT OVER $1200.00. EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK HAD 62,000 MILES, IT HAD JUST GONE OVER 5 YEARS OLD. WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH FORD DIESELS AND THE FORD ENGINEERS ARE TELLING CONSUMERS THAT THEY AREN'T CHANGING THE OIL ENOUGH. I CONSISTENTLY CHANGED THE OIL IN THAT TRUCK EVERY 5000 MILES WITH DELO 400 AS I WAS TOLD TO DO. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION OF FORDS HIGH PRESSURE PUMPS AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I ASKED TO HAVE THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP THAT WAS REMOVED FROM MY TRUCK, AND I WAS TOLD THAT HE HAD TO SEND IT BACK TO FORD BECAUSE IT HAD A VERY EXPENSIVE CORE. I'M SURE THEY DID NOT WANT ME TO HAVE THE EVIDENCE. *TR

MY 2005 FORD F-250 6.0L DIESEL LOST ACCELERATION ONTO A HIGHWAY. IT STALLED AND STARTED BILLOWING WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS IT SLOWLY ACCELERATED, BUT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS CARS RAN UP ONTO US. THE ENGINE WAS MISSING AND WE MADE IT TO AN INTERSECTION TO PULL OFF OF HIGHWAY. WE STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT STARTED RUNNING NORMALLY. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONCE WE WERE ON THE ROAD.

I CALLED FORD AND THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE THE COST OF THE PART AND LABOR OF $1100. *TR
