Ford f series and super duty pickups with 5.4 engines.my 2004 ford f-250 has an issue with leaking exhaust manifolds.when looking into this further while getting pricing, i found out that this was not an isolated issue and that it was a common occurrence due to a mistake in material used for the exhaust manifold bolts.so common that aftermarket suppliers are making replacement kits for the problem.the exhaust manifold attaching studs were made out of a metal that quickly rusts out causing the failure.after the failure, i began to notice exhaust gases entering the cab of the vehicle through the climate control, which its fresh air intake is in the general direction of the exhaust manifold.i also question the emissions standards because of the exhaust leak not to mention the potential fire risk from heated gases and flames entering the engine compartment.

Vehicle experienced catastrophic brake failure while maneuvering in driveway. Rear steel brake line failed due to installation error which caused it to wear through on a frame mounted fastener. I was under the impression that vehicle braking systems were "2 channel" in that if a catastrophic failure was experienced that only half of the system would be affected. My experience yesterday has caused much concern for other owners of this type of vehicle. In my opinion, all brake lines should be manufactured from stainless steel as it appears the fuel lines currently are. I feel this is a serious deficiency that should be addressed. Thankfully, my experience occurred at a slow rate of speed. If it had occurred at road or highway speed, i may not have been able to file this complaint.

At highway speeds, between 70-80, the front right wheel vibrates/shakes violently at first it is minor, but get's worse and worse as it forces the tire out of balance.this problem has been reported to ford many times. They say they cannot find a problem. The problem first occurred at30,387 miles. They could not find the problem. Another dealership, at 36999 miles, replaced the steering dampener, but it did not fix the problem. Then, they torqued thepitmen arm and declared the problem fixed. The problem returned but the dealerships continued to state it was a tire balancing problem. After new tires were purchased at 50,252 miles, the problem persisted. At 56,013 miles, the problem was again reported to ford. They stated they could not balance one of the 'new' tires. I took the vehicle to discount tire, which sold me the tires and uses the same balancing machine as ford. They replaced the tire and balanced them again. The technician at discount tire told me thathad seen the problem before (where he could not maintain balance). The only fix was to install dual steering stabilizers. After researching the internet, it was discovered that this actually was the fix. As it turns out, to install dual stabilizers, the truck must have a 2" leveling kit installed to allow the bracket to fit without hitting the frame when bumps are hit.

Vehicle loses all power-stalls and loses function when idling. Has occurred when exiting freeway way and in a regular neighborhood streets. Need to restart after stall.
About 9/15/2010 the vehicle, while stopped at a red light failed to accelerate when light changed and the gas pedal was depressed.the truck then stalled and took up to 5 minutes to restart.the incident did not repeat for several months.the next incident the truck failed to accelerate after slowing to near stop at a yield at a highway crossing nearly causing an accident.replaced fuel filter and had a tune up although it had recently been done and it didn't happen again for a few weeks.after a few weeks of hard driving with no incidence the truck again failed to accelerate on highway entrance ramp nearly causing another accident.after pulling over and turning off the engine and restarting it drove on the highway fine, but stalled when exiting the highway.the latest incident, driving on the highway the truck drove fine, until exiting.it failed to respond to pressure on the gas pedal and stalled leaving a woman and child on the side of the road for 2 hours waiting for a tow.during that time it would not start.towed to dealership and after having the vehicle for a week, they stated they pulled codes showing fuel injector was bad, egr valve sticking, needs some sort of wiring harness, turbo needs cleaning and some sort of chip total cost over $2000.
Dt: the vehicle was taken to repair shop 8 times for stalling. Each time the dealer did something and it continued tostall. They replaced the processor, wiring harness, and a number of other things. This started oct 12,2004.
The consumer experienced sudden acceleration and about 30% of the time the vehicle would not slow down once the consumer's foot was removed form the accelerator.
Consumer purchased a 2004 ford f250 6.0 diesel truck in august 2003 and has had nothing but problems since then.engine revs up while in gear at a stop and vehicle lurches into traffic.
While driving at any speed the accelerator pedal sticks intermittently. Dealer inspectedthe problem on several occasions, but was unable to solve the problem.this problem occurred about once every 100 miles.about 30% of the time when letting off the accelerator, the engine fails to decrease rpm's within 5 or 5 seconds.about 10% of the time the engine would increaserpm's, usually 100 to 250 rpm, but occasionally up to 600 rpm's.
While driving on the freeway the accelerator got stuck causing us to have an accident.as the truck increased in speed my husband stomped on the break and the truck was only gaining speed.we placed the truck on park and the truck eventually came to a stop causing the truck an immediate stop and forced us down a hill.the truck was totaled because we were pulling a 5th wheel.
While stopped at a red light the vehicle accelerated without warning. No impact reported. The part has been repaired six times, however the problem still exist.please provide additional information.
While at a complete stop vehicle lurched forward into traffic.
The contact owns a 2004 ford f-250. The contact was driving with the cruise control activated at 65 mph when the vehicle surged forward abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer confirmed that the icp sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and the vehicle was repaired. The failure and the current mileages were 124,298.
Vehicle surges forward with no pressure on gas pedal. While stopped vehicle jumper forward then stalled. Dealer was unable to duplicate without error code and returned vehicle. At highway speed of 55 and 1200 rpms vehicle lurched forward. Vehicle then began to lurch and stall weekly. Unable to duplicate at dealership. After dealership drove vehicle over 100 miles they think its the wiring harness and advised to have it replaced. They had no previous knowledge of any such incidents.
Low idle surging and stalling with loss of power steering.
Engine accelerates sporadically on its own.engine occasionally dies at stop lights.must keep brake pedal firmly pushed at stop as engine will suddenly accelerate.i have already replaced the turbo.the dealer says it could be many different things wrong.the 2003-2007 diesels are notorious for bad turbo, fuel injectors and a head bolt problem that requires removing the cab.i purchased this truck new and it now has 39000 miles on it.this is a serious safety concern.
While driving vehicle stalled. When it shut down lost power at 35-45 mph.problemstill recurred.the vehicle would surge, would be given no warning, but the check engine light would come on. *sc
Vehicleexperienced sudden acceleration. When driving and coming to a stop vehicle will stall with a rough idle, and the rpms will increase to 2500 rpms, causing the vehicle to surge forward. Driver must apply the brakes, and the vehicle will shut down completely. Owner took the vehicle to the dealer. However, the problem would not duplicate itself.
When accelerating to 60 mphvehicle hesitates then decelerates to 30 mph.
Engine shuts-off while driving.on three separate instances, engine shut-off for 1~2 seconds while driving, then restarted.on another occasion, engine continued running, but lost all accelration ability.regardless of how hard accelarator was depressed, truck would not accelerate.
I work for security at a nuclear plant.we have two 2004 ford, f250 pickups.i and several other people have had a problem with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal.we wear military style boots, if you move your foot from the accelerator to the brake and still have your foot partially over the accelerator your shoe will come in contact with the accelerator pedal before the brake pedal is depressed far enough to apply the brake.myself and several other people have had a near miss because of the vehicle lunging forward before the brake engages.
While depressing the brake pedal accelerator pedal stuck. This caused the rpms to race at a high rate. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
When engaged in cruise controlengine malfunctioned. As a result,power steering and power brakes failed.cruise control was set at 35 mph.then when vehicle was running downhill, consumer allowed the vehicle to increased speed up to 40 mph; however, at that point the engine malfunctioned which also led to the loss of power steering and power brakes.another incident occurred when consumer was driving at 52 mph in a hairpin curve.*lasee odi 10083767 also.*dsy
