    I have a 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty with the 6.7L diesel. It has been dealership maintained and since new. It has been garage kept and only pulls a 5th wheel 4-5 times per year. It just rolled over 100k miles this year. At 103k miles the high pressure fuel pump went bad. This is a known problem and has a kit for the repair. It cost $8,500 for the repair. After I had the vehicle back 2 months it is now has 105k and is in the shop because the #3 cylinder is damaged and requires a rebuild (short block). This is going to cost $14,500. A total of $23,000 this year in maintenance cost. The dealership will not assist in cost. I wrote a letter to Ford customer care. If they do not assist, I will never purchase another Ford product. I will share my experience with all my friends as well. A diesel engine should operate at least 200k to 300k without this type of problems. The saying is true: Found On Road Dead.

    Heads up for people shopping for new vehicles. I recently trade in my 2014 F350 for a 2017 F350 at Cariboo Ford in Quesnel, BC. After only a 2 week trip to the Yukon and back the truck has had some serious problems. The engine is 6.2 gas started to lose power and began to blow smoke at the dealer. They said nothing wrong but discovered power steering pump went, took a week get it back. Within a hour of getting the truck back steering locking up and engine still has problems. They discovers it has adaptive steering which no one knew that it was even in a 17 yet.

    Randy reprogrammed the brain truck. Ran amazing for 2 hours till it’s all went to same old settings. Back out on a logging road steering screws up again very bad. This time steering wheel separated from steering shaft and was now not only like there’s zero power steering the steering wheel is 45 degrees out to the right from straight and I have a message adaptive steering fault so only chose I had was to drive it to town. This system will cause accidents if it failed on the highway. There have been numerous complaints and issues with adaptive steering since it was released in the super duty middle of 2017. I understand it was odd.

    Towards the beginning the owner of dealer Bob, the service manager Allen and the sales guy Vic all stated to me that I’m making this all up since I went from a diesel to a gas. I have zero desire to own another diesel. Don’t want to deal with the emissions or def. out of 6 weeks I’ve only got to drive the truck for 2 weeks and now fighting with head office getting nowhere. I have lost $8000 in wages since I depend on having my truck ready. Can’t exactly just borrow a truck since I’m a logger. Ford has yet to do anything to help this whole situation. Don’t buy Ford.

    Bought this 2011 F250 used in 2014 with under 60,000km on it. First trip pulling a fifth wheel, it required one week in service as oil getting into cooling system to flush it multiple times. Second trip OK till back home, check coolant additive message. This lead to both DEF heaters to be replaced at $1400 plus each. That was May and June of this year. One and then the other heater. July 5 massive fuel system issues (codes: P0087-fuel rail pressure too low; P0089- fuel pressure regulator performance; P0093- fuel system leak; P2291- injector control too low during engine cranking) that was a $10,703.97 repair and 4 weeks. Ford Canada has nothing to say about this. I would NEVER recommend a Ford Diesel truck ever!!

    I bought a used 2003 6.0 (my first problem I know) and was told there was a way to bulletproof the engine. I had always had faith in Ford, our good friend Lauren ** wrote a book on Ford history that had more info than the executives at Ford even knew. My truck which I love is a total piece of crap. I purchased it in Oregon and it cost me 3000 to register in CA. Shortly after I purchased it the truck sat in the shop off and on for 4 months. 2 injectors, EGR, FICM, LRP, a gasket which the top end had to come off to fix... So after 3000 there and 6 months later the injectors had issues and replaced all of them, then high pressure oil pump and line, I mean ** does Ford even give a rat's ass about the product they sell to consumer.

    This last episode almost killed me and my dog as we were traveling 60 MPH on a two lane highway CA 299 near Burney. Cattle trucks, log trucks, big trucks that don't give a shot what is in front of them. My truck shut down on a left hand curve at 60 MPH. I almost had a stroke trying to muscle the steering wheel to the right and had no brakes on top of it. I was halfway into oncoming traffic cars. Slammed brakes on swerved out of my way, log truck nearly jackknifed and was on two wheels well 9 of 18. If My GF had been driving that day my family would have already had my funeral. My dog almost flew out the window. I am ** beyond furious, this high pressure oil pump is costing me 3000... And had I not been as strong as I am I'd be dead, my dog, my GF and maybe others. I don't give a ** if ford has recalled them or settled out of court. Ford should replace this ** engine PERIOD!

    I'm not going to stop until I get some sort of satisfaction and perhaps save the life of someone's child or loved one over a absolutely ridiculous engineering abortion of an engine. I will NEVER EVER purchase a ** Ford again. And as I type this my other ford blew a power steering line and pump, two fords broken pieces of **. I have had 3 and every single one of them had issues. I had 2 Toyota Tacoma 4x4's and I never had one issue. I had 260,000 miles on my last one and I beat the crap out of that thing. I used it for work, hauling, pulling, towing and it never had an issue or burned one drop of oil... Both fords have oil leaks, tranny leaks, break down.

    My F-350 I love it when it works but after the last episode I want a solution and an answer. I don't give ** if all lawsuits are final and I purchase as is. There should be a mandatory red sticker on all sales telling me "Warning you are buying the biggest POS death trap in the world." It's not a laughing matter. Not only does my truck open more time in the ** shop it almost killed me and I don't give a ** about what warnings are what. I researched it before I bought it but NOTHING stood out about near death or death? How many people's trucks have shut down killing them? Total trucks' engines... No way to tell hit head on with oncoming traffic, no skid marks. FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE THIS ** MOTOR YESTERDAY AND THEY KNOW IT. I WANT ANSWERS AND I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SATISFIED.

    I will add to the hundreds of complaints about blown motors in Ford Super duty trucks. I have an 08' King Ranch I bought with 5000 miles on it in 08' Blew the first 6.4 diesel engine at 136,000 miles. Put another in that blew after about 10,000 miles. I can't believe Ford does nothing and our government does not make them do something. When you pay 50 grand for a truck, a diesel that should run forever and it blows before a gas engine... Crazy. I will never buy another Ford anything and suggest you do the same... You're talking 10s of thousands of blown motors and Ford doesn't do a thing... Putting a cummins in it now!!!

    We have 2013 Ford F350 with only 30,800 miles on it. The transmission went out just driving down the road. Roadside service towed it to the local dealer Clay Maxey Ford. They told us in the beginning it needed a new transmission. The dealer said they were not aware of any issues with these transmission and they had NEVER rebuilt one, made us real confident in their ability. They said they had to tear the transmission down to prove to Ford where the problem was. The whole transmission was shot. There is a "cost cap" report from Ford that tells the dealer what to do. Even though every part of the transmission was ruined except the case, the cost cap said to repair because this was the cheapest way for Ford.

    We asked if we could talk to someone but there wasn't a name for the engineer. So, we call the regional manager who said she couldn't help, customer service told us it was a dead end, and left message with Ms. ** customer service manager who never called us back. This truck was not cheap but Ford is cheap. We never had a say in the rebuilt transmission which makes our truck worth less money but Ford did not care.

    We have owned 7 Fords and 4 of these were brand new, 3 coming from our local dealership. We said if this truck had 90k miles we could understand rebuilding the transmission but it has only 30k. Since our truck was paid for, they gave us a check for 710.14 since it took 5 weeks to fix it. All we wanted was for them to do what was right and put in a new transmission. We were very disappointed with the whole situation. We won't own another Ford because they don't care about their customers after they get your money. Buy a Chevy or a Dodge but bypass a Ford.

Had to go to an independent at a cost of $7,500 (fully certified mechanics). Has Ford offered any help – NO > HELL NO. Both are late models - 2013 & 2015. Screw Ford Motor Co.

    2010 F-350 with the 6.4L. Purchased it used in 2015 with 85,000 km on it. It ran well for the first 5000 km. First problem I had was the serpentine belt breaking while at highway speed. In that first year I had to do the block heater, a ball joint twice, vacuum and solenoid for 4x4, tie-rod, rear plug bracket, and starter motor. In 2016, I had to do the ABS, fix a radiator leak, replace the alternator, replace transmission control module, torque converter and fuel coolant cooler. These problems were all minor compared to replacing the entire engine due to the crankshaft snapping at 139,000 kms. In just over two years, it has cost $27,000 in repairs let alone other routine maintenance. Ford, as well as the dealer, were as helpful and useful as herpes.

    They seemed to imply that all these problems were my fault by saying that "the life expectancy depends on how, when, and where the vehicle is driven." Yes, I used this truck for work and hauled a dump trailer with it; however, it's supposed to be a 1 ton truck with towing/hauling capabilities. It's not like I was towing a 7 ton trailer behind a Fiesta and acting incredulous as to why the engine blew. They also told me that they hoped the safety ratings of their vehicles would make me consider buying a Ford again. Sure, as if a belt snapping and an engine breaking at highway speeds is safe. Having said this, of course this vehicle is safe, it spends an inordinate amount of time dead in the driveway, behind a tow truck, or on a hoist. Never again will I buy a Ford. Seriously, this is the most high maintenance thing in my life.

    It's an amazing truck BUT service is the worst I have ever seen. I screwed up my truck, I will take ownership of that but it's now been 2 weeks and they not only can't get parts to fit it, they can't even tell me when I will get the parts, they have said 2 weeks or 2 months no clue. They won't take them from new build trucks that will sit on the lot to fix a truck that's used daily to make a living. Worst service yet of any car I ever bought.

    First of all I would like Ford Owners to know If you have 250/350/450 diesel the Warranty for the powertrain is 100,000 miles. Having said that, it seems like Ford is not honoring them any how and the Regional Manager From Ford told Me "Good Luck. We're not helping out with anything. No matter how many Ford Trucks you have bought in the past, you should have bought an extended warranty." I am on my 4th Ford F250. This is a 2014 F250 Diesel and It's the only F250 I have had that I drove to the 103,000 mile mark since new. Dealer has serviced this vehicle since I bought it new every time, and all filters etc. at 103,000 miles. My check engine light came on and the truck was sputtering and unable to achieve more than 45mph.

    I took it to the dealership and was told that in order to look at it and diagnose it they would need to "remove the valve covers and Injectors" because there was no diagnostic code and that they suspect its in the fuel delivery system. The price was 1900.00+ to do this. After much regret I said ok. 1 week later, "Well it's got a few injectors out and it's gonna be 3000.00+ to fix," again I said OK. 1 week later... "Well Mr. **, I have some "bad news". Your whole fuel System needs to be replaced and The cost for the "FORD FUEL KIT REPLACEMENT" is 8000.00 + (still have the voicemail). 2 days later the Price jumps to 11000.00 and I was told by the dealership that this is covered under my car insurance policy because the problem was caused by bad diesel from the gas station. OK, Called my Insurance Company (GEICO) and Sure enough the agent told me I was covered and that they would send out an adjuster.

    2 Days later An adjuster comes out and writes it all up and assures me I was Covered as it looks like bad fuel from a gas station. 1 week later... Nothing. 1 more week later... nothing. 3 weeks later I finally Called my Insurance and they said, "Well. We are ruling this a mechanical Failure and therefore are not going to be paying for the damages because this is a "Known Issue With Ford" and Ford Is doing nothing to fix their issue." Well ** Howdy! Got a call today from the dealership and since the injectors went out it also created other issues within the cylinders and now the whole motor needs to be replaced for 20k dollars, all because of "contaminated Fuel" So Evidently Ford Fuel Systems in the diesel motors is faulty and corrodes quite often in these trucks. According to Ford It's also not covered under warranty anyhow.

    So obviously I will not be buying FORD anymore. I will say that if and when someone steps up to plate and rights this wrong somehow, Ford will continue to Treat their customers like crap and will continue to get away with making an inferior product while their customers and insurance companies are footing the bills for this COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO.

    I find myself asking this Question, "Why does this not happen to Other Brands of Diesel Trucks"? After all the complaints and Known Issues, why does Ford continue using this faulty fuel system? When is Ford going to hire competent and knowledgeable customer service representatives and Regional Managers that will Take care of their Customers and issues that arise? Well People, again I say they won't because It's not Profitable to do so. BUY A FORD SUPER DUTY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! THE FUEL SYSTEM WILL FAIL. IT's NOT A MATTER OF IF BUT WHEN. Thank you and remember... Ford ain't the best in Texas no more!!

    Build Date: 10/17/16. Assembly Plant: Kentucky. On 3/16/17 our mechanic proceeded to move our newly acquired 2017 Ford F350 King Ranch 6.7. Upon start the mechanic heard a loud rattling coming from the lower engine area. In addition the dashboard display showed a malfunction indicator lamp - Warning Low Oil Pressure and the Oil Pressure Gauge read 0. As this vehicle only had 786 miles we immediately called the Dealer. Our mechanics were instructed to not start it again and to immediately call Roadside Assistance and have it towed to a Ford Dealer.

    The same day we had it towed to ** Ford. We spoke with ** Ford and their Service Manager indicated that the vehicle had been evaluated and that no problems were found. He said there was no noise coming from motor, no screen displays, oil pressure was good, vehicle was started cold, oil was full and no codes. We suggested they keep the vehicle for a few days to see if it continued to function normally or would it repeat the action we described. As this vehicle is listed as affected on Fords TSB 16U32 we are concerned that damage has already occurred and the engine again may lack oil pressure due to concerns with the Oil Pump.

    We then spoke with our Customer Service Regional Manager who in turn reached out to ** Ford. ** said they have started the vehicle over a dozen times and cannot duplicate what we originally reported. Roadside Assistance will not pay for another tow but did suggest if we are uncomfortable with the results from ** Ford that we should consider taking it to another dealer for another look.

    As we have said to all, we are not comfortable driving this vehicle down the highway wondering if the motor is going to fail. The Customer Service rep stated that these vehicles are designed to handle safely when any failure occurs but I think it would take a qualified driver to handle a 11,500 lb vehicle going 75 mph in the passing lane if the motor quit. Safety is our #1 concern. Has anyone out there had any issues like this with the NEW2017 6.7 Diesel. Please email me at **.

    I purchased a 2015 F 250 Super Duty 'loaded'. I also purchased the Premium warranty. I had one problem that took my pickup out of my hands for over two weeks while it was being repaired. Warranty covered it all. That was what I expected. However, my check engine light came on two days ago. I took it to Rogers Ford, Midland, Texas. VERY nice folks! Well, I get a call the next day saying my warranty will not cover the 'particulate accumulator' (Part # FC3Z 5H270 A) since my mileage is over 50,000 miles. My warranty is good until 125,000 miles.

    My service agent checked again and she said that the U.S. government will not allow warranties to cover this part after 50,000 miles and I have to pay the cost. $3,579.01!!! I am not upset with Roger Ford, however, I feel that I was taken to the cleaners. Another thing that is strange is that when I paid they said, "Ok, the part is under a two-year, unlimited warranty". SO why was it not then and is now. I paid $4,200 for my warranty and it should cover it. I am going to have an attorney look at my warranty contract and see if I can do anything. I am also wondering if this may grow into a class action suit. Thank you.

This is the fourth time I have been told it was fixed and picked it up and never made it more than 6 blocks and the check engine light and reduced power comes on. Ford corporate knows about this truck and so far has not made any satisfactory moves to help. I have tried to trade it back to the dealership and they want nothing to do with it.

    The truck only has 37k miles on it. I spoke with an attorney at the State Attorney's office and was told this case more than met the rules for Iowa Lemon Law, but I will have to hire an attorney to make Ford Motor Company to do what is right. In the last 20 years I have bought at least 10 brand new Ford vehicles and this is the only one that has ever been such a problem. In closing I must say my local selling dealer has been golden.

    Ok so I purchased a 2006 6.0. Had issues with it. Traded it on a brand new 2012 F-250 Lariat with the 6.7 around 80,000 miles. Had to put it in the shop for 2 def sensors. Dealership told me warranty only covers 1 of the sensors. So I asked how much were the sensors. The cheapest of the 2 was the one covered under warranty... Go figure. After throwing a fit, they reduced the price from like 200 to 80 bucks. Not long after that the wastegate solenoid went out. Warrant did cover this.

    Got back on the road and it wasn't long before 1 def sensor went out again. Left me stranded in deep South TX on the side of the highway. Finally got it towed to a dealership. It sat for 3 days before they could get it fixed. So back on the road my mileage is right at 100,300 and my truck says pull over immediately. As I'm approaching the red light my speed was around 15 mph and literally just dies right in the middle of the road. Had it towed to the dealership I originally bought the truck from and they kept it for a day or so before telling me that my fuel system is history. They said I had too much water in my fuel system. I asked the cost and they told me $10,000 for parts and labor.

    While I was at the Ford place there were 2 guys checking their trucks in for the same reasons. A few days before this incident I had my truck in for service along with filter replacement. The owner of the Ford place told me "well you have over 100,000 miles on your truck. These things happen." Claiming this on insurance was clearly out of question but I tried. So after a month of it being in the shop they lowered the price down to $8,000.00. I had no choice I owed 20,000 on the truck so like any other Ford owner I bent over and bit the bullet.

    After no problems for the rest of the year I went and shopped around for trading it in. Unfortunately Chevrolet, Toyota offered me a very little price for my trade in. I ended going back to Ford same dealership owner different town and got $25,000 on trade in. I bought another 6.7 diesel brand new in March of 2016. Now I'm having trouble with the Ford sync system, hill descent, traction control and backup camera malfunctions from time to time. I've taken to the Ford place several times and all they say is "well it's not showing the errors on the dash so we can't diagnose the issue."

    Finally got it in when the hill descent and traction control were showing on the dash. Replaced those and still to this day of 1-12-17 still randomly popping up on my dash for hill descent and traction control. They told me that they will need to keep the truck for a few days "but we don't have any availability on loamerican vehicles." The end!! Haha bite the bullet and get rid of that 6.7 Powerstroke.

If you have experienced this, pay attention to whether it was a pothole, bump in the road or what that occurred when you had that problem. For me, it was a bridge expansion joint. We fixed the problem ourselves by replacing front stabilizer and front shocks. A friend that had the same problem on his 96 F350 cured the problem by replacing the front stabilizer with a dual front stabilizer he did himself. The Ford mechanics will try to sell you everything in the book, but we bought the parts off Amazon, and fixed them ourselves... No more problem.

Paid extra money to extend the warranty to 100,000 miles instead of the standard $60,004. I was on my way to South Dakota for the Sturgis Rally August of 2015 and I guess the motor blew.

It cost me $1,000 to tow the truck to Sturgis Ford being the closest Ford dealership and when I got there the service manager told me that he wished he had not seen this problem with this motor before the 6.7 diesel.

    Okay I turn around I Calkins Ford's customer service and after three or four days finally they get back to me offering me $4,000 for the $16,000 motor. The motor had to be changed. It spun a rod bearing. The rod bearing exploded shrapnel the motor. Very very disappointed. This was my first F350 Super Duty that I've had. Every other one I got 350 to 400 thousand miles on it. While dealing with customer service they ask for copies of my maintenance records. Of course all maintenance was done by the Ford dealership here in Loveland Colorado and again nothing better than the offer of $4,000 towards a $16,000 repair.

    By this point I'm pretty pissed so after going back and forth back and forth I pretty much told her that they could shut the truck. I wasn't making any more payments on it and that was it. I would never buy another Ford. Now they turned around and sold this vehicle at auction. Said they sold it for $20,000. Guy that bought it is saying he spent thirty thousand on it. My balance was $32,000 loan. What do you do if you believe you know what I'm saying? But there was a comment after reading these ConsumerAffairs things from a gentleman that I said "why isn't there a class action suit?" If there is any way somebody would want to get a class action suit going on I'd be more than happy help out with that entity. I want to put such as staying on board because their customer service is the worst.

    I'm a vet and I am offended by their commercial saying that they are military grade. Well guess what? I was in the military and we were taught never to give up. There was only one way we're giving up and any vet is going to tell you the same thing. You're not giving up until you're dead. Well the truck was dead so Ford has no right and it's offensive to me and to me it's an insult to every branch of our military service. In the United States 440 use that as part of their commercial or a selling point. They might be the number one selling truck but they're not the number one truck. They are nowhere near the number one truck and a couple things. I really like this ConsumerAffairs.

    I owned a 2004 Ford 6.0 diesel F350. It was complete junk. Changed the fuel, oil, and transmission filters regularly. At 65000 the head gasket blew. Warranty refused to cover the expense. Again at 115000 miles fixed again for $4,400. The third time at 160000 miles. I was glad to park it in the weeds. Bought a 2013 Ford F350 with the 6.7 diesel.

    Anyone with this 6.0 or the diesel that International designed is doomed to failure. I had two 2005 Ford 6.0, a F-350 & a F-450 with these engines. Between the two I spent $ 12,000.00 on them. Traveling to Va. from Maine I had my F-350 with truck camper break down 4 times on the trip to Va. The truck had less than 57,000 on it and it was out of warranty by 4 months. First fix was in Pa. where it needed a turbo (3rd one), went 119 miles and broke-down again. Second time, #1 injector failed, third time 300 mile later # 1-3-5-7 injectors failed, #1 was under warranty, fourth time turbo hose clamp broke and lost turbo pressure. The last repair I did myself at the dealership.

    Ford would do nothing for us. I talked to all the techs at four different dealerships and they said no matter what you do to these engines they are trash. Just poorly engineered. My wife cried at the third engine failure. I spent $4,000.00 in repairs and $1000.00 in towing. I wish I knew how bad these were before buying them. I traded it (b/c I couldn't sell it with its reputation as a problem engine) and bought a 2011 Lariat Ford-350 6.7 diesel. Not a lot of miles on (25,000) it as of now but no engine problems.

    2014 f-350 super duty - Bought a new F350 Diesel, 6.7. So far engine running great although my big problem seems to be the suspension. The first problem came at about 55k miles. I developed what was commonly known as the death wobble. According to the Ford dealership, the death wobble hasn't existed for 10 yrs or so, but all the symptoms pointed to it. After doing some research of my own the conclusion I came up with was replacing the stock steering stabilizer. Haven't had a recurrence...yet.

    However I purchased a new set of 4 Cooper A/T3 tires. After about maybe 5k miles I had a major vibration in the front end at approximately 40-45 mph. At 50 it would even out but at higher speeds would return. The steering wheel would actually shake in my hands. The dealer said it was wheel bearings, so they were replaced. The vibration was still there. They then said it was my tires. After a lot of convincing my tires were replace...all 4. The vibration is still there now quite noticeable in the rear. The seat shakes again at about 35-45 mph. The dealer has no idea what the problem is and how it should be addressed.

The dealer said it looks like someone was working on it, which is impossible - we do not work on our company vehicles at all, and only regular oil and filter changes have been done. I believe it came from the factory like that, and of course the warranty expired last year. Another 2010 F250 I had before this one had three valve cover bolts broken within 5 years.

    2 Things I did not do. #1 Allow the dealer to flash the brain / updates. #2 Have the dealer work on it! As the only owner of this 2006 6.0 f-350 C/C 4x4, I would have probably stayed away from the purchase of this vehicle if I had more info on the problems @ hand @ the time of purchase. I did not, I had no, NO problems

    w/ this truck as many have had. It was set up to pull large horse trailers and equipment movers. Whatever this truck was hooked to, it pulled it, from Fl. to Tn. 3/5 times a year. Except for an oversized tranny pan, oversized diff cover, and a turbo back 4" exhaust, the truck is all stock.

    As most people experienced trouble @ about 70k / 95k, mine started @ 109k. Well out of warranty. My first FICM unit failed. At 112k I replaced the o-rings and dummy plugs, although not really needed, also the EGR cooler, and oil cooler. I am by no means a Diesel Mech. but a motor is motor, I now have 176k on this truck, all original hoses, water pump, NO additional motor work has been done. Yes I have let the cooling system go far too long. Only regular maintenance, fuel filters, tranny filter, and oil changes @ 5000 Mls. We're on our third set of tires, and second brakes. My Point? So many reviews here, say dealer repair, even out of warranty. Why? There are hundreds of aftermarket co.s making thousands of better parts.

    Relate 2 your friends and family to steer clear of dealerships. Diesel owners stay away of technical updates. Ford 6.7 is a throw away vehicle after 150k, the 6.4 is basically the same. The 7.3, the old standby has become so very expensive to repair their flooding the used market. Oddly, If you buy Ford, the 6.2 gasser matched w/ the Super Duty Transmission will do the same work as the Diesel. Humm. I will say, I was here to read up on the new f-150s. Won't be buying one of them, thanks to the reviewers on this site. Don't need a big puller rig, so back to Toyotas, no Fords.

In fact Ford is currently settling in most cases not settling thousands of class action lawsuits due to this very issue.

I asked to have it all replaced and was told they could only replace the parts they found to be faulty. I asked to have the warranty reset and was told that was impossible. Now at 70,000 miles the engine needs to be replaced again - not under warranty... Estimate is about $15,000. Long before the warranty ran out we had it in for loss of power and the "wrench" light being on. They said the oil level was severely overfull due to fuel in the oil system - which shouldn't be possible. We were charged an oil change and told to check the oil level every 100 miles. Oil level didn't go up so we took it in and they said everything must be fine.

    Later we had the same issue and took it to another dealership who said the issue must be related to the earlier issue of the oil being severely overfull. They reset the codes and charged us for diagnostics and an oil change sent us on our way. The truck has now been at the Ford dealer for 2 weeks and no word on whether Ford will help us with the cost.

I traded in my 2004 Crew Cab that has never given any problems since new! I loved the New truck, lots of power, ran great, had a trip planned to Montana. Vacation and hunting! I had a horse in Montana, I was bringing back with me. A snow storm came thru the 1st week of November 2014 in Billings, MT so delayed my leaving to the 2nd week. I left on November 12, 2014 early morning, clear skies but cold. Truck, trailer, dog and horse, 1100 miles back to Iowa.

    All good until got passed Murdo, SD. A warning light came on, REDUCED POWER MODE. Truck slowing down, engine light on, would only run 35 mph. Things kept flashing up on screen, got pulled over on I-90. Called my local dealer thought it might be fuel gelling, added more additive (had blended fuel in truck). Asked if I turned the truck off would it start again, he did not know so left idling. Called Ford Roadside Assistance, I had between 3,000 and 4,000 miles on the truck. They would send a tow truck or I could make it to nearest dealer (Murdo SD). I called Murdo Ford they would get me in if I got there. So at 35 mph made it to next exit got turned around and back to Murdo, like 27 miles.

    Murdo Ford was great. Got me in and hooked up computer. I was in a pickle, horse on board and nowhere to stay if truck down. The tech found several error message codes (turbo failure). He tested the turbo several times and no failure. I asked if he thought I could make it to Mitchell, SD where I had a place to stay with my horse and dog. He didn't know, he hooked up with Ford tech line, still didn’t know. He reset the computer and it seemed to run. I decided to try to make it. I was off, all seemed to be running good made it to Mitchell for the night.

    Next morning, off again, ran OK, made it to Sioux Falls, SD. Heading to Sioux City, IA, truck error message came up and engine shutting down, again pulled over, called Ford Roadside. They would send tow truck or I could try to make it to dealer. Sioux Falls Ford couldn't get me in. So called Woodhouse Ford Blair, NE., 78 miles at 35 mph.

    They got me in right away. 4 hours later still not definite problem, reloaded computer software, cleared out, and off again. Made it to Exit 220 on I-80 East just passed Williamsburg, IA. Quit again, got off exit, about 30 miles from home. I decided to turn truck off and let set for a minute. I restarted it and engine light was on but turbo seemed to work, I could go faster than 35 mph. Made it home. To the dealer on Monday. Long and short of it, 4-5 weeks to get new turbo and install it.

    Been running until now, 9/30/2015, the day before I was to leave to Montana, with horses. I was going to town, truck warning light LOW FUEL PRESSURE, REDUCED POWER MODE. Just had truck service last week in anticipation of trip. Called dealer he told me to shut off and start again to see if it would clear. Did not clear so he said he would get me in if I could get there, got on I-80 East, going slow but going. Made it 1 mile and shutting all the way down, motor quit running. Called dealer he told me to call Ford Roadside for a tow. 25 min with roadside and they could not find my location to send tow truck. I tried to start my truck, it started. I told roadside I would try to drive. Made it 1.5 miles, quit again, called Roadside, 2 hrs tow truck showed up. To the dealer, hooked up computer, told me they needed to take high pressure pump apart, and gave me a car to drive.

    Day 2 since towed, service called me, the high pressure pump failed metal filings in system.

    I recently bought an F 250 SD Ford (4x4 2015 6.7 turbo diesel), after a very unhappy Toyota Tundra experience. The Ford is a great truck, with monster power, also very quiet, and comfortable. However when paying almost $70 K for a truck, it should have better interior trim than it does. The door panels are a cheap plastic, and very plain at that. In an older version, they had employed Lariat trim seats, lights in the doors (inside). It just seems cheap, especially compared to the 1794 edition of the Tundra, but the rest of the Ford leaves the Tundra in the dust. I guess my only issue is that, after paying 70 K for this, it is like paying 150 K for a 911 turbo Porsche, and finding it has cloth seats.

New computer module and transmission at 125,000 and a hosts of other noises and quirks. Goodbye Ford! I have many friends with the same issues and some have suffered financial hardships from them.

    On March 9th 2015 I purchase a 2015 F-250 diesel pick up from Sanderson Ford. At 4,000 miles I started experiencing a severe shutter and chatter.

He did not believe what I was saying. I left the truck there to be repaired. Later that afternoon I received a call from a man named Dan who is the service manager who said they were aware of the problem and that it could not be fixed. He also stated that Ford has said they maybe will have a fix by the end of the first quarter of next year, and that the problem was in the emission system. This is a potentially a dangerous situation. I called Ford and spoke with a man named Leroy, and said they will do nothing for me. His case number from Ford is # Case-**. His phone number **.

    I paid 55,000.00 cash for the truck. Nobody wants to hear about it. Ford does not want to address it or do anything for me. $55,000.00 for a vehicle that Sanderson Ford says can't be fixed. It is not fair and not right. Ford new about the issue when the trucks were being produced and sent them out for sale to the general public knowing full well they weren't right.

    I was in an accident and the truck was delivered to the Ford dealer for repairs. The driver side front wheel went up over the other car's tire and compressed out the spring and shock along with taking out the steering box and other parts under the truck. After getting the truck back I noticed it was leaning on the driver side. The Ford dealer said it was out of line and realigned it which they also did when it was repaired. This did not fix the problem so I crawled under it and found the passenger coil spring was bowed. When I checked the distance between the tire and the coil springs on both sides I found the passenger side distance between the tire and spring was 1-1/4 inch difference from the driver side. The Ford dealer is ordering a new spring but I believe that when the truck was hit it moved the front drivetrain over. This could have been caused by the assembly that the spring sets on.

    Our city has only 7500 residents, but because of our proximity to the open country, there is a lot of potential for wildfire and danger to our residents. We own a 2006 Ford F250 rig as part of our small fleet of engines, and it has been kept up meticulously since new. It has just over 13k miles on it (Barely broken in.) and is typically driven short routes to answer calls. The apparatus does NOT use the engine to pump water, so this 6.0 has an easy life. The bad news is that Ford has replaced the turbo charger twice now, so we are already on number three, and we were driving back from training a few weeks back and the truck started blowing coolant out of the surge tank. To make a long story short, the head bolts stretched and it blew out the head gaskets. This all to the tune of $7k which is a big chunk of funds for our little community.

    With the maintenance well kept up and only 13000 miles on the clock, this truck failed badly once again. Navistar, who designed this engine, was sued by Ford as we understand it and several individuals and companies have also sued Ford over this poor design. We are being told "Tough" by Ford, despite the major failure and previous costs to our fire department. What are we to do in this case?? It is 100% bad design and we do not beat on our vehicles. (If you saw how perfectly it is kept, you'd agree.) Any ideas or comments that might help our cause??

    When my Father bought his 2014 F-250 XLT from the very first we had to replace the tires and rims because they went out of balance.

    In 2005 I bought a F250 6.0 V-Diesel Truck. It ran great until it reached the 110,000 mile mark. The first to go out was the primary and secondary fuel pumps. It broke down on me in Midland, Texas on the way to Arizona and had to be towed in to a diesel mechanic. After driving it for a couple of months, it started to blow white smoke and did not accelerate. It started getting hot and had to once again be towed into a Ford dealership in Arizona. After approximately $4,000 worth of repairs (not including the fuel pumps), consisting of a new EGR valve and other things, I thought the problem had been resolved. Now...it was started blowing black smoke and does not accelerate.

    It is now at the Ford dealership where I purchased the truck. Ford claims no responsibility for these faulty vehicles and I see nothing but complaints online regarding all the problems the consumers are having with these trucks.

Who wants to buy another Ford product if this is the quality of equipment and service that comes along with it? Needless to say, a truck that was suppose to last several more years and was good for a couple of hundred thousand more miles has turned into a piece of junk that I will not even be able to get rid of.

    Have a 2001 Ford F-350 6.0 engine. I might be wrong with liter but I know it's a 6 something, with 83,000 miles maybe a little more than that. We have never had any issue with the truck. We drive it all year as we own a small landscaping business, so plowing and mowing. Back in May, it had new injector cups. Truck was being used daily and did it have any problems. A month later, my son went to drive off and noticed it was blowing white smoke so we called the Ford garage to get it looked at.

    After being there a week or so, they tested it and found out the injectors 1 and 3 were gone. Ok no problem, fix it - $1600 plus we had them fix the shifter, which was bother $300, so total was $1986 roughly. They called indent, paid them and my son was bringing it home. He couldn't even get out to the street light as it wouldn't go over 1000 rpm. He drove back in and told them there was something wrong. So the truck has been at the garage since the end of June and they have tested everything under the sun. The have come up with 5-6 things they thought could be wrong and have ruled out all of them. First it was 1 and 3, weren't firing right, then it was only 1. Then it could be a possible bent rod and so on.

    The final conclusion by an engineer from Ford has told them it's a valve problem in the engine. Hello...we drove that truck in there no problem and supposedly they fixed the reason for us bringing it to them. And they have over 20 hours of labor at $85 an hour and haven't fixed the problem it had after we couldn't even drive it home. If they find it's a stuck valve, they said they would take some time off the labor and it would be $3300 to fix it. The problem is they don't know 100% if it is the problem.

    They said the cost to have the head machined is around $500 and that's if they can get it machined without having to buy a new one. Also the case where they get into this and then there's problems with the other sides of the head. So at this point, we feel it's Ford's problem. We took it there and found out why it was blowing white smoke because they said it was the injectors. Now it's a possible motor!! No this isn't right.

    On our way home from our really nice vacation on July 5, 2015, I was pulling our 40' fifth wheel trailer with our 2014 Ford F350 Diesel pick up. Brian bought this pickup brand new, with cash from the dealership in Idaho. He had an Edge computer chip installed and a 4" lift added as well as 35x12.5xR18 tires, all installed by the dealership.

    However, I need to back up to April of this year. We went to our shop in Donnelly, ID to pick up my husband's skidsteer to bring back to our home. Donnelly is approximately two hours from our home. Approximately 1.25 hours later, just outside of Horseshoe Bend, ID, on an incline, going 60 MPH, while I was pulling the skidsteer on a flatbed trailer, the dashboard started flashing a message, "Exhaust Filter Overload, Drive to Clean". However, I was already going 60 MPH on a two lane freeway, uphill, pulling the flatbed with a skidsteer. There is no way for me to go any faster to clean an exhaust filter. The next thing I know, the screen starts to flash a red message "Stop Safely Now!" Literally, within two seconds, going 60 MPH, uphill the engine shut itself OFF!

    I panicked and Brian reached over, put the flashers on, put the truck in park and told me to try to restart the truck. Luckily, it did and all the traffic went around me. I got over the hill, but noticed the pickup had lost some power and managed to pull the skidsteer on reduced power. The truck engine was running hot, near 1200 degrees for the remainder of the trip home. As we pulled into the driveway, the truck's screen started flashing the same "Stop Safely Now" message and the engine, once again shut itself off within two seconds. We were fortunate it was in our driveway. I got out and Brian got in to restart the pick up, which it would not start. He used the Edge Computer chip to reset the truck's computer settings and it restarted.

    The next morning he called the dealership and the person he spoke with told him that Brian needed to take the truck on the freeway to drive it as fast as he could to burn whatever was in the exhaust filter out because it was clogged. Brian asked him how fast was fast because I was already going 60 MPH on the highway when the message was flashing to begin with. He got no reasonable answer, but took the truck on the freeway and drove it at 65 MPH and all seemed to work just fine until July 5, 2015. That was until I was driving home from Stanley, ID. I was on incline, pulling our fifth wheel at 55 MPH which is the posted speed limit. That is when suddenly I noticed on the Edge computer chip that the engine temperature was nearing 1400 degrees, which I have not seen get that hot before.

    Mind you, this Edge computer chip had not been altered to change the truck's computer settings from the stock settings at this time. It is used so that we can read other settings such as temperature reading, turbo boost and things are working properly. Brian likes to have more gauges on his trucks so he can monitor these types of readings that do not come stock on the pickups. Just as the temperature started to increase, I could tell that I was losing power. Brian started watching the gauges. We got to the top of the incline and my speed had reduced to approximately 30 MPG. As I started to decline over the hill and pick up speed, the screen started flashing the "Stop Safely Now" message. I almost panicked because I was afraid that the engine was about to shut off again like it did before. This time, I had NOWHERE to pull off to and it was only a one-lane highway and no one can pass me.

    I started to look for a place to pull off to, but there was nowhere to pull off to, but the engine was allowing me to continue to drive. I looked out the mirror and noticed that there was smoke and sparks coming out the tail pipe and I shouted to Brian and I am panicking. He is looking with me to pull over and finally after about 3/4 of a mile, we find a place on the opposite side of the road to pull over. Brian jumps out to check what is sparking, but as he does he looks behind us and we discovers that we have lit a hillside on fire along Hwy 21, near Lucky Peak Dam.

    Brian takes off running and one other motorist managed to get to the house that is endangered. They alert the homeowner, get shovels from his garage and with the help from the other motorist, dig a fire break around the home, while the homeowner manages to pump water from his pond that he has set up just for such things as a grass fire, should it occur.

    After it was said and done, it burned approximately, 8 acres. With the help of the BLM, there was 7 fire engines, 2 helicopters, the Ada County Sheriff Office, Park Rangers and many others to helped get this fire out. We will be billed for this fire, but the BLM has preliminary determined that we are not negligent in that we were not be being careless, per say, but since it was our equipment, we are going to be billed. However, they did take many pictures of our truck and feel that this definitely a truck malfunction.

    We are now in the process of taking this straight back to Ford. They are trying to say that they are not responsible because we have this Edge computer chip on the truck. However, they installed the computer chip. They also admitted to us that they have replaced these sensors that have gone out many times over and over again in these new diesel trucks. I also need to note that they have recalled the Fords in 2011, 2012 & 2013. They have not done recalls on the 2014s... YET!

    They also told us that it was the sensor and it had malfunctioned, sending information to send more/excess (basically too much) fuel to the exhaust system to clean the system. Which in turn caused a fire within the exhaust filter system. It burned up the exhaust filter and entire exhaust filter system and whole harness system which has to be replaced as well as the sensor.

    They told us that was what the diagnostics readings determined was well and that was what caused the fire under the truck and the smoke and sparks to shoot out the exhaust pipes. After we met with our insurance agent to discuss what we needed to do for the fire on the hillside and the BLM, which could take up to a year or so for their investigation and paperwork to be completed and sent to us, we went back to the dealership.

    It was then that we informed them that the fire under the truck and exhaust caused the grass fire on the Hwy. We deliberately withheld that information because we knew that they would try to shift blame. Well, they did. Today, July 7, 2015, they are now trying to back track and tell us that it was because of the Edge computer chip being installed on the truck... The very computer chip that THEY installed. Which they are also trying to say is not going to be cover the cost under warranty. So my husband has now contacted the media, which we planned on doing anyway. HOWEVER!!! This is a much bigger issue. This is about lives! We were in the Sawtooths this weekend where there were literally HUNDREDS of campers enjoying the weekend. Had this fire in our exhaust happened while we were in the mountains with those dry conditions... those mountains could have been a virtual tomb!

    Last year in 2014, we were in California on a construction job, which is what my husband does and travels for his company. Had we been pulling our fifth wheel going 75 MPH when the "Stop Safely Now" flashed and the engined shut itself off in the middle of six-lane freeway, we would have caused a major pile up, killing people and children. I have not slept in two days because those scenarios have ran through my head, thinking that I could not live with myself knowing that this truck could be a death trap for others! How many others have trucks with faulty sensors and are just waiting to be killed???

    In conclusion, suggesting that taking the truck and running it as fast and hard as you can to clean the exhaust filter when the first incident happened was not acceptable advice. Next, the Edge Computer chip has nothing to do with the exhaust filter burning up, nor does it, according to the manufacturer have anything to do with causing the sensor to malfunction and sending incorrect error messages to such as the incorrect amount of fuel to the exhaust filter to the extent that it caused it catch fire. Especially, when there has been a known issue with these sensors to go out since 2011 and they have had recalls on the 2011, 2012, and 2013s so far. As I have stated, people's lives are risk and this issue can no longer be ignored.

    Last week I added DEF after the display warning was within a few hundred miles. A few days following, I had the F350 serviced at 11,000 miles, prior to leaving on a trip over the 4th of July weekend. When leaving the dealership, everything seemed normal but the following day, when only a few hundred miles into the trip, the low DEF message appeared. When I reached my destination in a remote part of Vermont, I had to scrub the Saturday plans after I'd found no sources and little known about even what DEF is.

    I drove to a large truck stop in the neighboring state of New Hampshire and found it for $23 and filled the DEF tank and the warning ended. Because of the pain this caused me and question about why a simple service might impact the fluid level. When speaking with the dealership service manager, I received an insulting denial of the possibility this might be related to the service and software recall. The facts remain but were challenged by saying this has never happened before and could not be related to anything done by the diesel tech during the service appointment. I have replaced the fluid only once before since purchasing this truck at a time when there was no service appointment and the normal expectations occurred.

    Now, what might be the cause? Can it be the service when reprogramming the on board computer that caused this? Has this ever been reported with only 500 miles since filling? During the same trip, within a 100 miles of the DEF problem, my coolant level warning message came on too. The dealer service manager told me to reset it if the level was normal. He told me that the owner's manual tells me how to reset the coolant warning message. I'm still trying to find the instructions in the manual and can find nothing in any of the three manuals. What should I do to remedy my problems with this truck and service manager? Are there others who have had similar experiences with DEF short-cycle need? And how do I get help with my manual to find the coolant reset procedure? Thanks.

The keyless entry has went bad and had to be replaced. The rear clutch pack goes out the dealership had to order and it was 6 weeks in the shop. Radiator leaks. Brake lines just recently went out. Some of the wiring went bad and had to be replaced. The trailer plug has went bad. Mind you this is an F250 we bought it to pull a trailer. After spending all this money on a new vehicle we ended up with nothing but a lemon. Don't just walk away. Run run as fast as you can from a Ford truck. Ford needs to build better quality vehicles and quit ripping people off.

    I purchased a new f250 2015 in Alabama. I drove it to Arkansas. On the way with less than 200 miles, the day I purchased it, it started having brake problems. It didn't happen all the time. On the third day I took it to North Point Ford in North Little Rock. They said it was a brake booster problem. They replaced the brake booster, calipers and pads on all 4 wheels. However they only turned the rotors and didn't replace them. This is crazy. I paid $65k for the truck and the least Ford should do is make me whole again by replacing all the rotors. So my selling dealer says they will replace all of them but I will have to take it to Alabama. But what a pain in my butt. I knew I shouldn't have bought another Ford. I still have a f250 2006 diesel which I have put over $25 keep in repairs into that one. I have had no luck with Ford and will never again buy another one. What a sucky experience.

    Well I really never write these but after my current situation and position that I'm in I figured I'd write one. I have a 2011 Ford F-250 6.7 L diesel truck that has had nothing but problems after 100,000 miles. It's been towed in 3 times and now today they called me to let me know that the engine dropped a valve and now it was going to be needing a new engine. I'm frustrated because all the trucks I've owned have been Fords. Now I have only owned 3 diesels but I have had a problem with every single one. I got rid of my 6.4 because the dealership told me the 6.7 was the new improved motor.

    Now I am a company owner that is very frustrated because I don't have a pick up truck to do my job. And the Ford company told me that it was going to take a month to a month and a half to have my truck done. Just wish Ford would do something about my problem. I am 34 years old, I love Ford trucks and I will buy them for the rest of my life. I just want to know that they're going to stand behind their product.

    I have owned Fords for over 45 years, and never experienced anything quite like this. I bought my new 2014 F-250 King Ranch, and made it 21 miles home after filling both tanks full. Went out the next morning to start the truck and all it would do is turn over (no start). Called the dealer, and then a tow truck to take it back to the dealer. 11 days later, $150.00 for the tow, and $1900.00 for them to drain, pull, steam, reinstall the tanks, and 2 gallons of new gas to get a different gas station to fill it back up. (Not covered under warranty.) Another 145 bucks in gas. I made it 9 miles and was on the side of the road calling for another tow, to go back to the dealer again. They said I got bad gas again. 22 days later, 110.00 for the tow, and another 1900 for a tank clean out.

    Now mind you I have only had possession on the truck less then 18 hours total time. Let see 77,000 for the truck and 3600 in repairs, 250 for tows, and 300 for gas in a truck that only has 30 miles from the time I pull it off the lot 33 days from the time I paid cash for the truck. Wow! What a deal! At this point I am ready to send the truck to the shredder. I get the truck back for the 3rd time - they put the gas in it this time, and it never left the gas station (under its own power) that was less than a 1/2 mile from the dealer, and I had to pay yet again for another tow, but this time I just took it home.

    So here it sits with only 37 total miles. I am now going to rip the motor and drive train out of it and install a 1975 460 with good old fashion points and carburetor out of my old 1975 F-350. Then I will have a truck that will run. The electronics need to go on this new junk. I'm also a little skeptical on this new aluminum body. Guess we will have to wait to see how it will hold up to a Michigan winter. Not happy, but going to be soon. New is not always good, but a little old might do some good. I never will buy another new one again.

    So there I was in my driveway, I just walked back from my local auto service station. The guys that work there are honest as the day is long. I had a busted brake line, so rather than walk 10 miles to the auto store, buy some line, go home and repair mine, I just took the line off, walked to this shop and for $20.00 they made me up a brand new line - IT WAS WORTH IT.

    So I install the brake line, bleed it (with the engine off). I now go to finish testing the line pressure with the engine running. Start it up... BOOM! BANG BANG BANG BANG. WT? What's that sound. Oh, it must have back fired and blew off the PCV line again. No biggie... But the PCV line is fine? Start it up. Let it run. BANG BANG BANG BANG... I put my hand all over feeling for air leaks. I find it. I see a coil moving. OH POOH. I must not have tightened that plug good enough when I replaced it recently. I pull up my log book, which I log EVERYTHING I do to my vehicle. Nope, I've never replaced coil or plug #3. Whoa. 220k miles on that bad boy. But what happened??

    So I go to put the plug back in. No dice! I try re-aligning it, I try everything, then I feel it. I feel as I'm pulling the plug back out after unsuccessful re-installation steps, I feel the threads rubbing on threads... I now know what happened. I call a good friend, a god like friend, and explain what happened. He said he would have to come out and install a Heli-Coil. I say "Ok, let me make one more call." I call the shop where I just got the brake line. I tell them and they say "Oh... Yeah we can do it but it would be for a few days. We're backed up." So I call my friend back. He says he'll see me tomorrow morning. He came out, he fixed it. But NOW the problem is, the spark plug will go too far in and the piston hits the bottom of it. So I just don't put it in all the way, now I fear something else could happen. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FORD MAN, until I start reading about this stuff. SHAME ON YOU FORD!

    At first when I bought a used f-250 6.0 4 door 4x4 all I knew was "here is a full sized truck that get 20mpg on diesel and looks like a nice, strong work truck" & I was assured by "Jones ford" then in the little town of Maricopa that all their vehicles have been checked out so there shouldn't be any problems. So even though they offered no warranty on this truck I thought I am a good mechanic & I take care of all my other trucks just fine. So I thought the price, & interest rate was a deal but after the second week I had a crank no start condition... and fortunately, I met a dealer mechanic that lives near me & as we talked he shared a lot of his experience with me & went through some testing and code scans.

    He discovered the "F.I.C.M. had failed and ford wanted $1,000 for that part. So I found a reman part for half of that... & all was ok, for some months. Then the I.C.P. sensor went. This cost $175 & was a pain to get to... on back of the motor, under the turbo & back to ok for a few more months until I started to pick up a "miss" on occasion when idling at a light when hot. Then it went into a full time miss that after running code scans, I was told I could take it to ford to have a cylinder balance test run if I wanted to confirm that I likely had 2 injectors failing. So a couple hundred later confirmed this and "Jones Ford in Casa Grand AZ told me, that "AS long as we are in there we should just go ahead and change all 8 injectors." They cost $267 each! That is $2200(!) in just 8 injectors alone. Not even talking about labor yet!

    Oh, and they wanted to change the fuel pump/conditioning module ($500) that I had just changed the filter on clean... and the E.G.R. valve and fuel filter kit. "Because they all just need it." With no further diagnosis or tests to say there was any problem there... like I have unlimited money to throw at this truck?! So it is still sitting, waiting for me to save up the $1,000 it will take to hopefully fix this issue and I have been paying for a truck I cannot even use to go to work, that has been broke down more than I have been able to drive it.

I wound up stuck away from home over a Sunday waiting for the Ford dealer to open. His computer was down so call up the tow service and haul it 25 miles to the next Ford dealer. They did fix it, replaced a sensor. Four days later the check engine light came on, late on a Friday.

I'm a disabled vet with a limited income and have a very tough time paying for it. I bought this truck in good faith but unfortunately Ford does follow the same rulebook.

    Bought the 2012 Ford F-250 Power Stroke brand new, loved this truck, interior isn't too gaudy and lots of storage compartments everywhere. After 40k miles on it however, we started noticing a death wobble, thinking it was our road and tires, because we live in the country. Took it in for an alignment and rotation, checked the shocks, stabilizer bar, etc, everything was fine, no damage. Took it to our diesel mechanic who said he's having the same problem with his same year and model, with considerably less miles on it, and he doesn't know what to do about it. Suggested putting air packs because his theory is that the bed is too level with the rest of the truck... WTF?

    So we'll have to spend almost $3k to do that for a MAYBE solution. Can't go over 60mph without it shaking uncontrollably, have to come to almost complete stop to get it back under control. VERY disappointed with Ford. Keep in mind this is primarily used for commuting to work. We live in the country and it's about 15 miles to town one way. Ford needs to fix this as it's a major safety issue. I worry we'll roll.

Ends up there is a service bulletin for Ford. If this happens, they are required to replace entire motor! $17,000. Nice. I'm 18,000 miles out of warranty of course.

    Ford knows that these motors within a certain build date have weak valves and when your emissions stuff heats up to clean exhaust, they fail. So, I am having a local diesel guy rebuild the engine at a cost of $10,000. Ford won't do a thing. I thought these trucks were suppose to run for 300,000 miles. What a super disappointment.

    2011 F250 King Ranch 6.7 Turbo Diesel - Truck broke down 4 times in six-month period including two of them being stranded on side of road. The two major breakdowns were verified by both the dealer's service manager and the mechanic to be a known problem in their industry. The first was a faulty exhaust temp. sensor that needed to be replaced ($800). The other was the high pressure fuel pump "eating itself from the inside which causes a catastrophic failure of the engine". The mechanic said shrapnel from the fuel pump is shot through the entire fuel system because the fuel goes through this pump after it has gone through the filter. He even found metal shavings in my gas tank that traveled through the return line. This was a $6000 repair bill on a truck less than 1000 miles out of warranty.

    A phone call to Ford resulted in nothing as they denied any knowledge of the problem. However, the mechanic told me there had been so many failures of this pump that Ford had created a special "kit" for the dealerships that includes all the necessary parts to replace when this happens. I'm an engineer in the manufacturing industry, I understand problems with production level parts. But the complete dismissal and denial of a known issue indicates a much deeper problem within the Ford organization.

    Although I understand a recall is expensive and possibly not necessary, it seems they can admit to the potential problem and offer an addendum to the warranty that extends it for a longer period of time to ensure the fuel pump is durable - Toyota did the same for my son's Scion TC just last month on a potential oil consumption problem. I have been a Ford person for many years but as a result of this experience, I have lost faith in the integrity of this company. I may just become a Toyota supporter in my future purchases - I hear they have the same US-made content in their trucks as the Ford.

Since I purchased this vehicle brand new it has left me stranded 4 times with only about a 3 second warning that the engine was about to shut off. The first time this happened it stopped in the middle of a busy freeway (loop 410) in San Antonio,Texas at 4:45 in the afternoon over 200 miles from home. I had to spend the night in a hotel because the ford dealership there could not be sure when they could get it fixed. The next morning my wife had to come get me.

    This first ordeal cost me a hotel fees, a $100.00 Towing fee to get off the highway and and $150.00 at the dealership even though I was covered by an expensive extended warranty. Once the truck shuts off it cannot be restarted until the engine has completely cooled down and sometimes even then it will simply shut down again without allowing the vehicle to move. On 2/19/15.

    My last shutdown took place Sat. 2/21/15 at 6:10 am en-route to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle to get the vehicle repaired under the Emissions Recall 14E03. After 2 hours of waiting for the vehicle to restart, I finally had it towed in. About 2 that afternoon the dealership called and said the vehicle was ready. First I was told the charges would be $433, 2 hours later they called me back and said the charges would actually be $703 because I have to pay for the parts and the labor. I purchased this truck to pull a 40' trailer local and long distance, I paid a hefty price for a false sense of security that I thought this truck would provide.

Took it back after hearing what I thought was disc pad rubbing the rotor, but was told that the front left/right bearings were out & failing. After 97K highway miles, this truck has one of the most important parts fail! The bearings so the truck can roll! Before this issue, we had the engine light come on so we took it to the dealer. They claimed they didn't know what the issue was after putting it on their machine. They went ahead & replaced #1 fuel injector & gave it back to me.

    About a week or so later, the engine light came on yet again. This time the dealer told me it was the exhaust fluid sensors - two of the four sensors are bad but I needed to replace all four while they were inside the truck because the new sensors were better parts than the ones installed when the truck was built. The Ford truck dealership tells me the new parts have been corrected of the issues & they will not fail like the old ones did - can you believe this? I asked why then are they charging me over $600 if this is the case. She told me to file a claim with Ford & they might give me the money back. I did & did not win. Ford tells me at times, things go bad & they are not liable. She said it would have been covered if under the 50,000 mile mark, but I had 79,000 at that time so they would not honor it.

    Lastly, I received a letter from Ford stating I needed to take the truck in for a recall on the emission. Emission recall 14E03. So the dealership is working on this now as well, but Ford will not reimburse me for the emission sensors I had to pay for. I have to tell you, I am very upset & I will never purchase another Ford truck as long as I'm alive.

They told me that they are more reliable trucks and less maintenance, I liked the style with the f250 so I went with what I liked. Built in the USA.. Hey why not... Well I should have listen to them because no one can even change a spark plug in a triton engine without them breaking inside.. so you need a special tool, 8 out of my 10 plugs broke inside the engine. The special tool to remove them cost my 160.00 and 3 long days. at 68k miles I had to replace the alternator, at 98k miles the front ball joints, at 110k miles the rear bed on the truck wanted to fall off, it was either buy a new bed or drive without one. At 138k the p0131 which is post billions of time throughout the web should up.. Change the fuel filter, change the fuel pump, change the fuel rail sensor, change the fuel module.

    They’re not built good anymore. I guess I should have done my research and done my homework, my friends were right... Though the style looks tough there is always breaking down. They’re not worth buying. I'm just one of millions with ford issues and there's little to no support from ford. Trying to now sell my truck for 7k and haven’t found a buyer yet. Oh I guess I have to fix it again! Do your homework and see why the imports are better.

    I wish I could afford to purchase a brand new truck from Ford, but my current situation will not allow it. I have owned 2 SUVs, 1998 expedition and 1995 explorer, both were great and required little maintenance. Also I have owned 3 ford trucks, 1991 ford Ranger 4x4 XLT, 2008 King Ranch 4x4', and currently a 1997 F250 XLT 4x4 HD. The 1991 I owned for over 10 years. And I say with confidence that it is not Ford that let's most people down. It is the previous owners. I make it a point to only buy used cars from people who have owned them for at least 3 plus years. That's my rule. If it is a lot I get the history and trace as much as I can to do my diligence of knowing what I am buying.

    Bought a 2008 F350 6.4 diesel feb of 2011, 37K miles. Before we made the first payment, 37779 miles it blew up like at Talladega. Dealer had the truck 44 days for short block, that was longer than we had it. That was enough, but you're stuck with it, so we have been looking at it more than driving it. As of today it has 60k on it, that's 22k in almost four years. Well last Thursday 12/11/14, it had another major failure. After being at the dealer a week, they came up with high pressure fuel pump failure. Another great mess, but we did purchase the extended ESP warranty back in 2011, and the first catastrophic engine failure was covered under the original warranty. We are not happy but it is what it is, this repair could be in excess of 10K but it is warranted right? That is yet to be seen.

    I was notified today 12/19/14, that the warranty repair is on hold by Ford! Why service manager does not know, Fuel filters checked out good, no fuel contamination. I don't know but I am hot, maybe the reason is I e-mailed William Clay Ford Jr, and told him what a pile of junk this 2008 is. It's not like he doesn't know these 6.4's are junk, but I also told him. I had to lease a 2013 Ford edge, because the 08 is not reliable. I also told him that I paid cash for a 2014 F350 King Ranch in may 2014, and also that Ameriprise [a division of Ford] handles my 4 vehicle insurance. Mr Ford please tell me why I am being treated this way, somebody please tell me something.

    We towed a lightweight travel trailer with our truck that we bought used with only 55000 miles on it. It overheated and blew a hose. We put 1 gallon of antifreeze and 1 gallon of water. After that the diesel motor would go into some sort of "safe mode" where the power is reduced by 50 percent and it won't go above 2nd gear. We made it home by shutting off the motor when that happened over and over. It had to be shut off to reboot the computer. We found out that these trucks are all lemons and are huge money pits. They want $110 to tell us what the problem is and then probably the head gasket which is $4500 to fix. We might try to trade it in but it sounds like the dealers know how crappy they are and won't give you squat for them.

    2006 Ford F250 power stroke diesel. We purchased used. It has been in for repairs since the 8th day we bought it. Glad we purchased an extended warranty insurance. We cannot trade the truck in and warranty has ran out. Warranty is expired and cannot renew because we already have put too much money into repairs. Ford says there is nothing they can do. Our truck is a lemon for sure. No one wants this truck because of the issues on these trucks. Now we are stuck with an unreliable truck.

    My husband and I purchased the F250 used but purchased an extended warranty. The truck was driven approximately 150 miles. The Turbo blew along with the cooler. Each time we drive the truck, the end result is take it back to the dealer for more repairs. We have asked for our money back. JC Toyota will not discuss that with us. The truck is a lemon. We are stuck with a truck payment and paying insurance on a vehicle that is not reliable. JC Toyota has been assisting us with repairs. Bottom line the truck cannot be trusted. Please advise!

    I bought a beautiful 2012 F250 Super Duty diesel. Spouse and I like camping so we pull a 5th wheel travel trailer. No problem in the summer/warm weather. However, this is our 3rd winter experience and darn truck won't start when weather gets below 50 degrees. I've had it towed 3 different times to a local dealer. In total, they've had it for 26 days but neither dealership can find what the problem is??? Unfortunately, after several days of cold, then TX weather changes and warms up, so I get the call to let us know that the truck starts without a problem, ready for pickup. Can't get them to understand that I won't have this truck abandon us if weather changes to below 50 when we're out camping and risk getting stranded. I've called Ford Customer Claims department and left many complaints but no help. Been a Ford person all my driving days but seriously thinking "Hello GMC." Anyone else share my heartache with this issue?

    2002 Ford 250 v10 triton super duty xlt 4wheel drive - Exhaust manifold cracked and warped, the attachment bolts were broken off and missing at approx. 117,000 miles. Found out this was due to very poor metal alloy mix. Aluminum heads were paired with steel exhaust manifolds. Disaster waiting to happen. Repaired and replaced myself after Ford dealership informed me it was going to cost me approximately 5,000 dollars because they had to remove entire cab from frame to repair possibly more if other problems were found. I replaced myself with stainless steel headers and helicoils with new steel threads in every hole and replaced all bolts using stainless steel bolts. Next spark plugs blew out of engine while going down hwy at 133,132 miles. Severe power loss. Replaced all 10 plugs using kit designed by Ford for this problem they knew would happen.

    Again differing alloys used resulting in breakdown. I used the 6 oem spark plug inserts provided in the kit at 350.00 and had to buy extra 4 inserts at 35.00 each extra for my triton v10 not provided with kit and video on how to replace and repair this problem. Had to purchase borescope, and other tools to repair as well. This has been a costly measure for myself and other people whom I have spoken to that had the same problem. My auto mechanic said it would be best to replace the whole engine and cheaper to do so if he repaired this problem. Ford said it would cost me approximately 2,000 to repair this problem. Ford should be held accountable for this well known problem with truck engines. There is a big risk of fire due to fuel being spurted out spark plug hole and flames shooting out of exhaust .

    Bought 08 Super Duty from Ford dealer with 33k miles. Truck was owned from new by dealer service mgr. Had to replace tie rod ends almost immediately. After my Dodge 12 valve I was disgusted with the 6.4's mpg towing a 7500lb trailer. At 61000 mi motor lost comp in two cyls. Dealer installed Reman short block. Drove for 2-3 months and eng light came on. DPF plugged up and had to be replaced ($1800). Just did a trip this summer from Utah to WV and back with no problems (except for mpgs). Truck now has 92000 and I'm just waiting for... something, especially after reading about the many, many problems and complaints of others. I guess I've been lucky? No customer satisfaction here. I'll buy another Dodge! Ford and the EPA - What a team.

    I am about all done with the blue oval **. Bought an 08 F-450 in July last year with 71K on it. July this year EGR cooler went $4,000.00 one week down time in motels. Cleveland Ford. Made it almost to Toledo and lost all power. Got out to find they had not reinstalled the clamps on the transmission lines. The pos. side blew off and coated the entire truck in tranny fluid. Toledo Ford Resurfaced rotors and replaced brake pads, washed fluid off one side of the truck. 2 days down time in motels. Paid off the $31,000.00 note in 14 months.

    One week after that the engine blew at 110,000 K 13,000.00 Richmond In Ford, 2 weeks down time in motels. Five and a half days later a loud knocking and vibration develops in the engine. Joliet Illinois Ford, this is where I am stranded now. The truck has been in their lot for 2 days and they haven't looked at it yet despite my constant reminding them it cost me 200.00 a day to keep the crew in motels. Just the motel time has cost me over $4,800.00 this year waiting for less than adequate mechanics install inadequate expensive parts. So the truck I spent 31 thousand on has cost me $50,000.00 not to mention the 3+ weeks of lost profits. I have totally lost any hope of Ford being able to un** their trucks. The Blue Oval ** are going to put me out of business.

    I bought a 2005 F350 with the 6.0 engine in 2009 with 46,000 miles. Once the truck got to around 90,000 miles it has been one issue after another. Leaking EGR cooler ($1300), a brake piston that stuck in the out position which caused the piston to break ($400), 2 other brake pistons that stuck in the out position but was lucky enough to catch before further damage, turbo charger froze up ($300), rust under the windshield ($600), broken idler pulley which is almost impossible to change without removing half the cooling system ($200).
