Tl*the contact owns a 2004 ford f250. while driving at any speed, the vehicle lost power and the engine completely shut off in the middle of the road. the road conditions and weather were not a factor. the vehicle would occasional take ten minutes or longer before it would restart. the vehicle became very difficult to steer and lost all power steering and braking ability. the failures always occur without warning. the dealer stated that the injector control pressure (icp) sensor was the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not included in the recall. the failure mileage was 100,000.
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.*ak
Dt: the vehicle shook all over the road and it misfired. it vibrated and rumbled. it was not a problem due to the balancing or alignment. it was something within the engine. took the vehicle to the dealer, and the problem was still not fixed. also, had a brake rotor problem. took the vehicle three different times for the rotors. had to pay out of pocket to have the brakes fixed. these problems started on march 1, 2004. the back window was leaking water. took vehicle to the dealer, and that was not fixed. the consumer filed a lemon law complaint. *ak
