Ford F-250/F-350

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.

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.

Owned 2 diesel Fords. The 350 went south at 107,000 had to replace entire engine - $15,000. Did Ford offer any assistance --- NO... F-250 went south at 107,000 miles - entire fuel system has to be replaced at a Ford cost of approx. $10,000 -- told Ford dealer could not pay that much. 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. Our fleet has 2 Chevy's, one at 400,000 miles & one at 250,000 - neither have EVER been in repair shop. Yep - we were 'fools' to buy 2 Fords.

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.

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. Chevy tons better, Benz tons better, Porsche tons better. Ford bad bad bad. If not resolved soon I will contact my attorney and Better Business locally.

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.

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.

2001 F250 5.4 engine - Purchased used from local new car dealer, started missing badly, took to mechanic. 3 coils bad, 1 spark plug loose, has been heli-coil but incorrectly installed, 2 plugs were installed with liquid steel so deep spark plug socket would not fit. FORD's better IDEAL, I don't think so and add a ignorant, cheap previous owner... SUCKS FOR ME.

2011 F-350 6.7 Diesel King Ranch - First and last Ford in many years. Will never let another one into my yard. First - two years of ownership had to replace heater plenum behind dash as it would not switch from dash air to anything else. Cost 2700.00. DEF heater cost 800.00. Battery light came on - changed batteries 300.00, changed alternator - over 500.00. Spent ten months going back to dealership. Finally found broken wire inside harness so I was told. Cost over 1000.00. This repair lasted just over one year. Battery light is now back on. If I could get rid of this piece of ** I would be a happy man.

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.

I am new to this but just had to file complaint. My truck is a 2014 F-350 Super Duty with 106,000 km probably around 60,000 miles. Well warranty expired at 100 and yup death wobble just starts. Been told it's the tracking arm and hopefully that's it, but I've owned other trucks that have easily surpassed the 200,000 mark with no major problems. For 77000 dollars you would think it would last a little longer than that. Only thing replaced were winter tires, exactly same size, tire pressure fine, checked regularly. Needless to say last time I buy ford and not even going to use a capital "f".

I purchased this truck brand new and have had nothing but trouble with it. It is currently at the dealership and has been for over 6 weeks. On 01/10/2017 I was told it was fixed and come and get it. 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.

2015 truck was purchased NEW. Has 14 k on it. In the dealer for its 2nd turbo... in (eleven months ago) and 8 thousand miles. Dealer said I don't drive it enough??? Very disappointed in this purchase. Now once again I'm without a truck for 10 days!!! Ford best built?? Most dependable??? Not on this planet. I own a small business just outside Chicago... I'm gonna tell all 13000 customers a year what a POS Ford makes.

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.

2006 F250- gas- we experienced the Ford Death Wobble going 65 mph down I-5 in the center lane. Scare the crap outta me. 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.

2006 superduty F350 6.0 diesel engine will not stop leaking oil, engine has been out 3 times. The BIG PROBLEM IS FORD~ THEY WILL NOT HELP... Nice looking truck but the engine is under built = not my words the dealers. FOUR of them they said it was a design flaw and impossible to correct. The truck has 70,000 mi. To fix the engine is about $ 8000.00 but might last 1mi. or not.

I have had 6 New Fords since 1999 5-F250's and 1-F-150. I have had 2-6.0's, 1-7.3 and now a 6.7. I have never had a problem with any of my trucks only normal maintenance. As far as I am concerned they don't even make another kind of truck, when I need a new one it is always Ford. I never look at anything else.

I would like to start off by saying I've been a loyal Ford customer for 35 years. Never again. I had a 2012 F350 Super Duty Crew Cab Lariat $65,000 truck. 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. I was Towing my father-in-law's 37 foot toy hauler, a couple Harleys in the back moving right along and next thing you know the truck just started shaking ungodly and the motor died. 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.

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. The truck was pampered with all fluids and filters changed early. Died at a light today. Towed to Ford and they advised the high pressure fuel pump. But need to change complete fuel system. Only $10,000.00. The more I read the more I find that this is a common problem! And to top it off Ford said that the fix will not be covered under warranty. Back to Duramax...

In 2015 my 2012 F-250 was in the service center 90 days waiting for a glow plug module. This year (2016) it has been in the shop for three months waiting for parts and troubleshooting to resolve a lightning strike. I want to sell the truck, but Ford service delay has forced me into a new year which cost me in deflated value. The truck has only 21,000 miles logged. Ford has offered nothing in compensation for time lost in use of the vehicle. I not purchase another Ford Truck for any price.

I own a 2011 Ford F350 Diesel. The engine froze up after 27000 miles. I purchased truck 5 yrs, 8 months ago. My warranty 100,000, 5 yrs, sticker price $48000, I had it serviced religiously. After 8 months ago warranty no longer valid and Ford could care less, although they will buy the truck back for $20.000 so I would be out of pocket around $12000, the estimate for new engine $24000. I will never purchase a Ford again. Settling for a Ram Diesel, hearing they have transmission issues. The Ram also has the 100,000 mile, 5 yr, whatever comes first. What an expensive lesson.

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.

We bought our 2015 Ford F250 4x4 Diesel truck brand new. Within the 1st week it would violently shake when you get to 45-55mph or in between gears. We took it to the dealership and they said it was from the exhaust brake and we needed to down shift when it would do this. Well that didn't work. We took it back again. They said there was nothing they can do. This is a $60,000 truck and should not be doing this. Ford will do nothing about it. I have grown up with Fords and I will never buy another one due to this issue and Ford's lack of resolving it or making it better.

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.

Bought a new Ford 6.7 Diesel F450. The first engine blew up at 20K. Engine was rebuilt by Ford and except for the expensive tow the motor was paid for by Ford. Now at 160k we lost a cylinder and we are forced with another expensive rebuild, 15k-20K. Having invested in the POS 6.0 motor in 2007 and already been through the suffering that is Ford, I can't support Ford Motors.

Son gave us his F250 truck so I could haul my husband and his power wheelchair... Ford sucks is all I can say, driving to one of his appointments, blew a spark plug. Got stranded on the side of a busy highway in 104 degree/ humid day with my disabled husband for 3 hours. It's got the 5.4 motor in it. Would like it fixed cause now it's just an oversized paper weight... Needless to say I went back to using my 98 Dodge Durango with 250,000 plus miles on it... still runs strong.

2010 F250 with 62000 km. Towing a trailer on the highway and the lower transmission oil cooler inlet hose became dispatched and I lost 6 liters of oil before pulling over. The metal clamp was not in the correct place, but an inch back, on the soft part of the hose. Damaged the transmission within seconds to the tune of $7500, plus towing. 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. This required extracting the bolts by taking the valve cover off - $2000 at the dealer (for one side) and $900 for the independent shop.

Driving my 6th Ford F-250 diesel in 20 years - 2 7.3 engines, 2. 6.0 diesels, a 2008 6.4 and current 2012 6.7 with 183,000 miles. I drive mostly interstate at 10 or so over speed limit - pull 7 different trailers moving part of our equipment from job site to job site - average move 300 to 500 hard driven miles. Each truck had over 200,000 miles when I traded or sold. Have never been left on the side of the road. The 6.4 had a minor issue with sensor but no major deal. Current 6.7 by far best engine I have had. Run cetane boost regularly and you will eliminate injector and sensor issues. Either I have been lucky or my maintenance pays off.

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.
