2005 Ford F Super Duty Vehicle speed control Problems

“Turn key to start and run. Start driving down the road and all gauges go dead (no power) radio & cruise control & windows & intagrated brakes all go out. No matter at any speeds. The scary one is when we have our 44 ft sundowner rv combo horse trailer at 70 MPH on cruise control and this happens and you have no gauges or trailer brakes, no power to windows, no power to unlock doors except manually.and none of the gauges are working. But the truck still runs fine. Dealerships cant locate problem but charge you 2 hours labor and says bring it back if it does it again. …”

I then went to a local muffler shop and had them check my exhaust system. …”

“Started having difficulties when driving , speed did not matter , could happen at 20-50-65 . Sputtering ,missing heaving , no power or losing power.

This truck as it stands is unreliable and dangerous - we lost power on the interstate - could have been fatal. I read on line many are complaining of the same or similar issue . …”

“Almost total loss of engine power while attempting to pass another vehicle in the rain, twice! Also violent engine shaking right after start up. Shaking stopped after engine was turned off and restarted.”
