2006 FORD F-350 SD — Complaint #874446
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OTHER FUEL TYPES:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER filed August 17, 2011
NHTSA complaint #874446 (ODI reference 10419833) concerns a 2006 FORD F-350 SD and was filed on August 17, 2011. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 29, 2011. The vehicle had 26,828 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:engine:other fuel types:turbo/supercharger, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-350 SD cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling:engine:other fuel types:turbo/supercharger failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 FORD F-350 SD shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I HAD A 05 FORD SUPER DUTY 6.0 LITER DIESEL THAT HAD 3 NEW TURBO'S PUT ON DUE TO SKORING. FORD REPLACED ALL 3. WHEN TURBO'S GO OUT YOU LOOSE POWER. I HAVE A 06 SUPER DUTY THAT HAS 26828 MILES.

I WAS GOING DOWN HIGHWAY AND LOST POWER AND HAD TO LIMP HOME PULLING A 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. I HAVE READ WHERE FORD HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 6.0 LITER DIESEL ENGINE. I AM UPSET THAT FORD THAT FORD DID NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM FULLY BECAUSE OF ALL PROBLEMS THEY HAVE HAD WITH THE ENGINE. THE PROPERTY DAMAGE BELOW WAS JUST TO THE TURBO ITSELF.
