| Bought vehicle used in nov,2011. about 4 months later started having problems with engine power. was told by ford dealership that i bought it from would need to rebuild engine, should be covered under extended warranty (involved egr, gaskets and bent head bolts). call ford extended warranty people. refused to pay anything. now truck has about 96000 miles on it and the truck is stalling out while driving down the road, took back to dealership again, was told that the injectors are the problem now. decided to check out recalls on this veh. and found out several things (1) that ford had a recall for the injectors and (2) that the problems before were probably caused by this. called the recall center at ford and was told that vin # did not match up to any recalls, even though it was on 180000 05 ford f250 sd. was also told to check with extended warranty that is also through ford. once this is fixed will have more money invested in this and rebuilding engine 6 months ago than the truck is worth. no more fords for us. *tr | |||

| It took several times before i could crank my truck and once it was started it smoked badly but did eventally clear up. it spitted and sputtered on the way to work so i dropped it off at the mechanics shop. the mechanic inspected it and the fuel injector module was bad. i researched the recall list and called the ford dealership in mobile, al based on the recall list to have the problem repaired; gave them my vin and was told that my vehicle was not included in any recalls. the dealership offered to repair the module for $900.00 however the nhtsa id # 05v270000 says there is a recall concerning this issue. | |||

| The vehicle lost power at approx. 65mph engine went into idle mode without any warning. i was able to avoid other vehicles on the interstate and coasted to a stop . the engine remained in idle mode and when the accelerator was pressed the engine did not increase in rpms. i turned the off the engine and when trying to restart in turned over, but would not fire up. after a couple of tries it finally started and i drove home. the second incident occurred on dec.26th 2011. the truck was driven to the store without any problems after returning and trying to start it up the engine would not fire. finally after a couple of tries it finally started and i drove approx. two miles , pulled into the driveway and it went into idle mode again. i turned the engine off but it will now not restart. i will have to get it towed to a repair shop, this could have had very serious consequences . the interstate traffic was lite and i was able to switch lanes even though i was coasting without power with the engine idling. a couple of vehicles had to hit the brakes as i moved over. if i had come to a stop in the middle of the interstate without power it could have easily resulted in a major accident. with the potential loss of life or serious injury. | |||

| Re odi report 10319552 : solution finally reached regarding my 2005 f250 super duty and the check engine light along with lack of accelleration . it has been diagnosed as the intake manifold runner control this device is apparently faulty as you reasearch it it is common on all ford 5.8l engines but ford refuses to address it after numerous sensor replacements at the advice of ford and quite costly usually $100.00 per sensor and many near misses as for lack of power to engine and unreliabilty of when it will or wont happen the imrc controls the airflow to your cylinders and upon failure will decide to either stick open or closed depending on its mood thusly causing either a too rich or too lean scenario going un repaired will cause catalytic converter failure also at a replacement cost of $1700.00 +/- the imrc only costs around $67.00 but ford wants $500- 600 to replace it as it requires the whole intake manifold to be removed in order to reach the imrc which is mounted directly to the intake manifold on the rear of it and is only accessible this way. with so many failures of this part a recall orat least an extended warranty coverage of item should be made as was done on fuel injectors thatwere inherently bad also. this is a potential safety issue that can cause an accident if you are not aware of when imrc will act up be aware it starts as low or no take off power when accelerator is pressed and is intermittent at best along w poo mpg call ford and complain as much as you can and save yourselves bundles of money this took me 3 years of dealing with ford and private mechanics to finally resolve this issue and at a costs of about $6000.00 in unnecessary sensor replacemnets . this is on 5.8l gas fuel injected 3valve engines if you research intake manifold runner control through a search engine you will see the multitude of failures for this part it is not vehicle specific but engine specific. mileage start was 300000 final diag nosis and repair 98000 | |||
