“Egr cooler and oil cooler failed in a intersection. This is a safety defect . Looked problem up on internet and found thousands of the same defects with other f-250 diesel engines. Ford must recall before someone gets killed. I spoke with my dealership keeter Ford shelby, nc and they said they have replace over one thousand them selves on the f-250 diesel engines and agreed that this should have been a recall on all 2004 f-250 diesels.”
NHTSA complaint #10434858, filed 2011-11, 92,000 miles“Engine,6.0 diesel was loosing water. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the head gaskets were blown and that the head bolts were soft and had stretched. This is a known fault with this engine according to the dealer. If it is a known fault, why hasn't there been a recall to fix this. I have never known an engine to have blown head gaskets at 104,551 miles. There are numerous service bulletins on this problem.”
