2004 Ford F-250 SD mileage at failure

223 of the 254 complaints on file for the 2004 Ford F-250 SD give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Component	Median	Middle half	Based on
Engine	Median 45,000 miles	Middle half 10,000–85,000 miles	Based on 100 complaints
Electrical System	Median 80,000 miles	Middle half 25,000–105,000 miles	Based on 50 complaints
Fuel/Propulsion System	Median 95,000 miles	Middle half 50,000–120,000 miles	Based on 37 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Incident: June 2, 2018 · Filed: June 4, 2018

ON SATURDAY, 6/2/18, MYSELF, HUSBAND AND ANOTHER PASSENGER WERE INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT IN GOOCHLAND COUNTY, VA. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL, NO ROUGH ROAD, POTHOLES AND NO ITEMS IN ROADWAY. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A RURAL, TWO LANE ROAD WITH NO SIDE SHOULDERS(JUST TREES) WHEN OUR LEFT REAR TIRE STARTED VIBRATING AND MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. BEFORE WE HAD TIME TO SLOW DOWN, WE HEARD LOUD BANGING AND CRUNCHING. SEEING AS THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER, WE HAD TO STOP AND INVESTIGATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. WHAT WE SAW WAS A STILL FULLY INFLATED TIRE, WITH THE TREAD TORN OFF AND FLAPPING. THIS COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE BED AND WHO KNOWS POSSIBLY WHAT ELSE OF OUR TRUCK. THE TIRES HAVE GOOD TREAD LIFE, WERE INFLATED TO THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED PRESSURE AND WERE NOT DRY ROTTED OR WORN UNEVENLY. WE HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED AN HOUR BACK HOME BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYWHERE WITH THEM. THIS IS NOT A FLUKE, SEEING AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ON HERE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT WE WERE NOT INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. OUR TIRES ARE 33X12.50X16.5 BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN T/A KO. PICTURED BELOW IS THE PROOF OF TIRE TREAD SEPARATION AND DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE.

Incident: December 3, 2016 · Filed: December 8, 2016

"FICM & ICP RECALL" RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD JULY 2005 IN REGARDS TO FAULTY FICM AND ICP. THE FICM WAS REPAIRED AUGUST 2005 BY A FORD DEALERSHIP. NOTE, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK PRIOR TO THE FIX. JANUARY 2006 WE HAD TO TAKE THE TRUCK INTO THE SHOP DUE TO THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH WHILE IDLING AND ACCELING; THE FICM WAS REPLACED DUE TO A SHORT; THE ISSUE THAT WAS JUST FIXED ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES SINCE JANUARY 2006 AND HAS COST US OVER $11,000 OUT OF POCKET TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THAT STARTED AFTER THE INITIAL RECALL FIX. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD HDQRS AND THEY ADVISED TO TAKE THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WE DID MULTIPLE TIMES. OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE SURGING HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY WORSE. WHILE TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I5 PULLING A 30' 5TH WHEEL TRAILER, THE TRUCK SURGED FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY JUST MISSING THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, WHEN I BEGAN TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO MOVE FORWARD THE TRUCK SURGED FORWARD 3 FEET. I WAS LUCKY THERE WASN'T ANOTHER CAR CLOSE OR A PERSON IN THE STREET. JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS PARALLEL PARKING AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO BACK UP A LITTLE THE TRUCK SURGED BACKWARD ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN BACK OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK ALSO STALLS JUST BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP OCCASIONALLY. THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE TRUCK. I LOOKED INTO THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRUCK MIGHT BE COVERED UNDER THIS. WE NEED TO GET RID OF THIS TRUCK BUT FEEL FORD DOES NOT STANDS BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RECALL NOTICE AND SOME OF THE RECEIPTS FOR THE REPAIRS DONE TO THE TRUCK JUST IN REGARDS TO THIS SURGING ISSUE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ATTACH 5 DOCUMENTS BUT HAVE MANY MORE IF NEEDED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO GO INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC AND I WAS JUST ABLE TO GET CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND GET IT OFF THE ROAD.BF GOODICH CLAIM THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS TIRE BUT I HAVE DISCOVERED WHY THEY SAY THAT. THIS SIZE OF TIRE USUALLY IS PURCHASED FOR JEEPS AND SMALL PICKUP WEIGHING 3000 TO 4000 POUNDS BUT IS RATED FOR E LOAD WHEN YOU USED THE TIRE ON A LIGHTER VEHICLE IT DOES NOT HEAT UP BUT MY PICKUP IS 9000 LBS. BEFORE THIS LAST TRIP I HAD COSTCO CHECK THE TIRES AND AIR PRESSURE THE DAY BEFORE THE TRIP AND I CHECKED THEM ON THE DAY OF THE TRIP. SO I KNOW THEY WERE AIR TO THE REQUIRED PRESSURE.
