2006 Ford F-250 Fuel system Problems

My son was driving on the freeway, traveling approximately 83 mph, when the vehicle lost power, the engine stalled and he lost the ability to steer the vehicle properly. The vehicle was parked at nearest gas station until i could get to it. After inspecting engine, I noticed some wires that had the insulation coming off. I replaced wiring harness, and when doing so, found the main harness to be severely chafed from rubbing the under side of air filter ducts. When looking around engine bay I noticed other wires with insulation coming off too.

I OWN A 2006 FORD F 250, ON SATURDAY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A WET STREAK BEHIND ME SO I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED GAS GUSHING OUT OF A HOLE IN THE TANK. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN A RURAL AREA CLOSE TO HOME, SO I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND PARKED IT IN A FIELD, AWAY FROM ANY BUILDINGS TO ALLOW THE 30+ GALLONS OF GAS TO DRAIN OUT. THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK WAS ONE OF THE STRAPS THAT SECURES THE FUEL TANK BROKE (RUSTED IN HALF) AND THE GAS TANK DROPPED DOWN AND WAS DRAGGING AGAINST THE HIGHWAY. I ATTACHED A PHOTO OF THE STRAP THAT BROKE

THE TRUCK WAS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE (I-81 NEAR BLACKSBURG EXIT 118A,B,C) DRIVING UPHILL. WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE RIGHT LANE FROM THE MIDDLE LANE, WHILE LETTING OF THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE DIES. AT THIS POINT LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING BRAKES AND STEERING CONTROL. SINCE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE TRUCK THEN WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE FIRST LANE AND GET OFF THE SHOULDER. THE TRUCK DIED AND FORTUNATELY DUE TO LOW TRAFFIC ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER. AT THAT POINT, TRIED TO START THE TRUCK AND IT WOULD NOT START SO HAD TO REMAIN ON THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE UNTIL HELP COULD ARRIVE. STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. FORD BLOGS INDICATE THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS GONE UNADDRESSED. *TR

THE FICM (FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE) ON THE 6.0L POWERSTROKES ARE A KNOWN ITEM TO FAIL. THEY LOSE VOLTAGE AND MAKE INJECTORS NOT WORK, WHICH SHUTS OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME WHILE AT AN IDLE OR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. MINE SHUT OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES NOW, BUT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO WARRANTY IT. MY SMALL TOWN FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACES SEVERAL OF THESE PARTS A WEEK. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FOR THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE? *TR
