2006 Ford F-350 owner complaints

My 2006 Ford crew cab powerstroke turbo diesel has an engine oil cooler and EGR/EGR cooler problems that keeps the truck from full power up hills and with loads. Extremely dangerous pulling trailer up grade's, it loses power, blows white smoke and becomes unstable. The temp. Between the oil cooler and the EGR cooler shuts down the trucks computer, leaving the truck inoperable. Costs to repair $6793. Why has there been no recall on this issue I'm starting to see there are many other complains on this engine design are you waiting for someone to be killed before you do something? *tr

F-350 EGR cooler went bad and smoked up entire neighborhood. Other motorists could not see as the smoke emitted from my f-350 was like a very very thick fog. I contacted Ford, who knows about the ongoing and extensive problem, but they refuse to do anything but "document" the problem and want NHTSA to make it a recall. Apparently there are a lot of other f-350 owners with the same problem. This is very dangerous. I'm not sure if the fumes that are emitted from this problem are safe either. *tr

Fuel tank liner is delaminating causing fuel system to clog up and truck to lose power. Ford refuses to cover this problem under warranty saying it is not their fault. *tr

I slowed to let a vehicle pass on a narrow street. When I pressed the accelerator to get my 2006 Ford f350 with the 6.0l powerstroke diesel engine back up to 25 miles per hour, the gas pedal pulled itself to the floor at about 15 miles per hour and would not come off the floor. I had to stand on the brakes and put the truck in neutral, then use my foot to get under the gas pedal and return it to it's normal operating position. After, I drove to my mechanic and he said the electrical sensor in the gas pedal was probably bad and the entire assembly needed replaced. This incident almost cause me to rear end a person at the stop sign in front of me and pedestrians crossing the road in the crosswalk.
