TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW BY MY COMPANY IN 2005. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2008. I HAVE RECORDS OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE BEING DONE PER MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTIONS. I ALSO HAD THE PM DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CHIEF PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE HAS CONTINUAL POWER ISSUES WHICH INCLUDE STALLING, SHAKING, EXCESS SMOKING. THE ENGINE JUST STOPS RUNNING WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING IT. SINCE 2008 THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP VIA TOW TRUCK FOR THE SAME CHIEF COMPLAINT AT LEAST 12 TIMES. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP WILL WORK ON THE EGR VALVE, THE EGR COOLER, THE OIL COOLER, THE ICP VALVE, INJECTORS, HEAD AND INTAKE GASKETS, THE COMPUTERS SHOOT CODES SUCH PO261, PO264, PO267, PO269, PO270 AND PO273, PO276, PO279, PO280 AND PO611. THIS TRUCKS ENGINE NEEDS RECALLED TO FIND THE MAIN PROBLEM. IT IS NOW 2012 MY TRUCK IS 7 YEARS OLD WITH JUST AT 100,000 MILES. THIS IS A DIESEL ENGINE 6.0 THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO LAST LONGER THAN GASOLINE ENGINES HOWEVER THIS ENGINE HAS MAJOR SAFETY RECURRING PROBLEMS THAT ARE DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY AND THE PEOPLE DRIVING ON IT. IT ALSO HAS COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN UNSUCCESSFUL REPAIRS AND LOST WORK TIME FOR MY COMPANY. *KB

I HAVE A 2005 FORD F550 CREW CAB WITH 36,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY AND HAS NEVER HAD A HEAVY LOAD ON IT. MY VEHICLES ARE METICULOULY MAINTAINED AND TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED MONTHLY AND PRIOR TO ANY LONGER TRIP. TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED THE DAY PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SUSTAINED A FULL BLOWOUT, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FENDER/WHEELWELL AREAS. MY VEHICLE ALMOST ROLLED BUT WAS ABLE TO CORRECT IT WITHOUT A CRASH. ORIGINAL TIRES ARE CONTINENTIAL 225/70R 19.5 WITH EXCELLENT RUBBER STILL ON THE TIRES. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GOODYEAR DEALER WHO SAID THE TIRE OBVIOUSLY HAD A DEFECT. INSPECTION OF THE OTHER TIRES REVEALED HEAVY CRACKS IN THE GROVES. HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS AT A SUBSTANTIAL COST. READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS TIRE. CONTINENTIAL SHOULD REIMBUSE THE COST OF THE TIRES AND THE COST OF THE REPAIRS TO MY TRUCK AND TOWING. TRIP WAS DELAYED 6 HOURS WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW AND REPAIRS. I DO NOT HAVE THE DAMAGED TIRE, BUT HAVE SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING THE DAMAGE. *TR
