| EA05003 | FORD MOTOR COMPANY | 02/15/2005 | 11/02/2005 | ENGINE STALLING | 05V270000 | |
| In a june 7, 2005 letter, ford notified odi that it would be conducting a safety recall of approximately 180,000 ford f-super duty, excursion and e-series vehicles equipped with 6.0l diesel engines to correct two wiring related conditions that could result in engine stall (nhtsa recall no. 05v-270, ford no. 05s34).the affected vehicles were built between september 29, 2003 and may 31, 2004.according to ford, vehicles with the conditions may stall without warning and may or may not restart.ford will instruct owners of vehicles included in the recall to take their vehicles to a dealer to have the fuel injector control module wire harness upgraded or replaced and or have a new injection control pressure sensor connector installed.during a may 2005 presentation to odi, ford identified a number of potential failure mechanisms that could affect engine performance in various segments of the subject vehicle population, including the wiring conditions addressed by 05v-270.the wiring conditions, which both affect engine fueling, were the most likely conditions to result in engine stall.the recalled vehicles comprise approximately 43% of the subject vehicle population and account for 75 of the 113 odi reports that have a valid vin (66%).the voq complaint rate for the recall population is 45/100k while the rate for vehicles outside the recall population is 17/100k and their trend (by date of receipt) is declining.based on the analysis, odi believes ford | ||||||

| 2004 ford f250 superduty, 6.0 diesel, towing a 30ft. 5th wheel rv. was traveling south on i95 at 65mph and engine cuts off as if the ignition was turned off with no warning loosing power steering and brakes. truck was towed to ford dealer and repaired at customer's expense. two engine wiring harnesses was replaced at a cost of $1639.00, $104 towing, $289.00 rental car and 6 days in savannah, ga. unexpected. this has been an ongoing problem as evidenced by earlier safety recall ford #05s34. ford still refuses to do anything about the problem because the truck is 10 months out of warranty with only 51,000 miles on the odometer. safety recall apparently did not solve the problem. *tr | |||

| We purchased a 2004 f250 turbo diesel from mike brown ford on may 29, 2004 and the nightmare began. the first problem the dealership wired the keyless entry incorrectly and had to replace the wiring harness. after that the truck began to have problems with surging,and dying in the middle of the road.. the truck has been in the shop numerous times, they have replaced the computer 9 times, exchanged the egr values twice, they have slipped the torque converter, and all types of reprogrammed on the various components on this vehicle.. to date the truck runs extremely bad. my wife drives this vehicle, and is extremely scared of this truck, do to the fact that it surges and loses vacuum and shoves her into intersections at red lights or any other times she applies the brakes. the various ford dealerships are no help they constantly reprogram and release the vehicle . no more or less than 5000 miles the vehicle starts it again. we believe that this vehicle is defective and extremely dangerous to drive, seeing how you never no when it will die, or surge . we feel that this vehicle is a danger to anyone who comes in contact with .*ak | |||

| The truck was purchased new on 10/31/03 and immediately we had problems with the engine surging and running rough. the dealer tried 3 times and the truck continues to have the same problem. this is a history of our problems with this truck: on 8/23/04, engine idle low and runs rough and the dealer replaced the ebp sensor. on 9/2/04, the dealer again replaced the ebp sensor and the truck continues to run rough and surge during idle. on 9/9/04, we spoke with the mechantic to tell him we were still having the same problem.*ak on 1/4/05, the engine shut off while we were driving. the truck finally started and we took it to auto way ford and was kept there for 7 days. they replaced the injector harness ssm18226. on 1/24/05, the engine again shut off and was towed to auto way ford. they were told by the ford engineers to do a wire wiggle test. they could not determine the problem but kept it for 12 days. the tech referred the problem to george s., the service manager. on 2/7/05, truck again died and had to be owed to auto way ford. the replaced the ficm and cleared the modules. they had the truck 8 days. based on the past history, we are not comfortable in taking the truck for long distances. additionally, we are concerned that the engine will shut off while we're on an interstate or a busy road. we're also concerned that even though we had idle problems immediately with the truck, the engine shut down problem did not occur until the truck was around a year old with only 19,115 miles. the reliability and safety of this truck is obviously questionable. | |||
