| 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. we made it to the dealership where they diagnosed the problem as a failed ficm fuel injector control module. this has been reported to them multiple times, but a recall has not been issued for this model. i did find reference to a recall (ford recall no. 05s34) of the exact nature on a different year model. i called ford and they would not reimburse the cost of the part and labor of $1100. *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. | |||
