2005 Ford E-150 owner complaints

I was crushing at 55 MPH and I heard a loud pop that was followed by a continuous popping obviously from lost compression. I took to a local Ford dealer and they stated that this is a common problem for this type of motor to "blow spark plug". This happened without warning and is now a hardship for me

Truck engine dies while going up a hill causing truck to roll backwards.. No brakes to stop the truck. No power steering. *nm

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 Ford excursion. The contact stated that intermittently the vehicle would stall, and then immediately restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer multiple times to diagnose the failure; however, since the technicians are unable to identify the cause of the failure, no repairs have been made. The vehicle identification number was unavailable. The failure and current mileages were 52,800.

The van would start losing power on the highway, where even if the accelerator is pushed down, the van continues to lose speed. The van eventually reaches a speed of 0 MPH and at which point the engine stalls. After waiting 20 minutes on the side of the highway, turning the engine off for 20 minutes then starting it seems to temporarily get it going, but only for another 30 minutes. Since the first time it happened, it would reoccur almost every other day. This is very dangerous during the morning rush hour when driving on the number 2 lane because the speed decreases as if the accelerator is not pushed. Because of this dramatic loss of speed, vehicles behind my van either brake or change lanes fast. It is very difficult to go from the number 2 lane to the number 4 lane while losing speed.

Total failure of diesel engine. Apparent defective engine design in the Ford/navistar 6l powestroke across several model years has been reported on internet. *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 Ford e-150. During brake application at 65 MPH, the brake pedal went completely to the floor without warning. He had to repeatedly apply pressure to release the pedal. The vehicle has not been inspected to determine the cause of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 40,000.

I was driving down a hill and my brakes failed totally. I ran head on into a tree which caused me to blackout. Once rescued from truck I was told the air bag never deployed. So I feel there are two failures here the brakes and the air bag. *tr

I purchased a new 2005 Ford passenger van in may 2006 I have since put 45,000 miles on this vehicle. I have poor gas milage approximately 6 miles to the gallon pulling a trailer. I was told that this vehicle would get at least 11. I have black smoke blowing out the tailpipe. And I have had brake failure 5 times now during cold weather driving conditions. I have taken the vehicle in repeatedly for these problems but the dealership told me that I was imagining them, and Ford told me unless the dealership could verify my problem that they won't do anything about it.*ak

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 Ford econoline. The contact stated that she could smell fuel inside the vehicle and smoke escaped from the tailpipe. The dealer replaced the liner on the fuel tank twice. The dealer stated that the diesel fuel ate through the lining. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000 and the current mileage was approximately 78,000.

The vehicle, a Ford e350 6.0l diesel would lose power while on the highway and come to a complete stop in the middle of the road. After waiting about 20 minutes, sometimes would start up but most of the time would have to be towed. This would occur whenever the vehicle is driven for more than 20-40 miles when the engine is warmed. This has occurred a total of over 15 times, each failure having a smaller time in between than the one previous. Very dangerous. Almost hit a car trying to get on the shoulder before a complete failure. Whenever the engine shuts off, I would have to try to get on the shoulder during rush hour while on the #1 lane. The speed would steadily slow down until it comes to a complete stop where it would then shut off. The steering wheel would lock when the engine shuts

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 55 MPH on a dry highway, a semi-tractor trailer truck jackknifed and the cab of the tractor trailer truck collided with the truck head on. The air bags did not deploy and the truck was totaled. There were three people injured and a police report was taken. Seat belts were in use at the time of the accident and functioned correctly.

I was parked at a gas station. I was about to reverse and my airbag exploded for no reason. I filled a police report with witnesses. I contacted my local Ford dealership about the incident and was informed I would have to pay for the damages. They stated they have sent letters to an undisclosed address. I stated I never received a letter and I have lived at multiple locations. I also stated that I have had my truck at the same dealership three times(one time for a wreck) since the recall and have never been informed of a recall. At some point shouldn't Ford have informed me when I was in their presence? Ford is now giving me the run around. What can I do at this point to fight this decision from Ford? It is a recall and should be fixed. My truck is my life. Help

After driving lightning, it loses power and a wrench appears, I already changed the gasoline pump, gasoline pump module, injection rail regulator, and it remains the same

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 Ford econoline van. While driving at an unknown speed, the fuses began to short out electrical components in the vehicle. The dealer stated that there was a piece of metal located in the fuse rack that touched the wiring harness and caused the electrical wiring to short. The contact was concerned with the safety of not having the wiring harness properly covered, which could potentially cause more electrical failures or a fire. The manufacturer informed the dealer to place the wiring harness back to its original state. There was no type of protection or covering over the wiring harness. The VIN was unknown. The current and failure mileages were less than 50,000.

The car steering box seems to wander all over the road and cause me to go into the ditch. Could have been worst.

The paint on the back of the van from the top to the bumper in an approximate 1 foot swath has peeled off. A body shop guy said that they didn't put a thick enough coat on or that the base was faulty. *tr
