Ford F-250/F-350 Reviews

When I bought my 2003 Ford Super Duty it was 3years old and had 26,000 miles on it. It now has 130,000 miles. I have blown 2 spark plugs, and when it blows it also cracks the coil so that also needs replaced. They made the heads aluminum instead of steel except to make them lighter. But why they didn't put a steel insert into the spark plugs' hole to screw into is beyond me. It is a really bad design flaw.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2005 F-250 S.D. Factory Defective Oil Cooler. Anyone that owns a Ford Diesel 6.0 L. manufactured from 2004 thru 2007 understands or at a minimum has experienced the five to ten thousand dollars in repair cost associated with this engine running hot oil, oil averaging temperatures well over an average of 210 degrees when they should average around 195. In fact Ford is currently settling in most cases not settling thousands of class action lawsuits due to this very issue. All the way from Sam Packs Five Star Ford where I purchased it new to Rush Truck Center in Dallas Texas where I have it serviced I get nothing but lip service. My last incorrectly designed oil cooler Rush Truck Center installed at 4,112.17 after 30 K miles is once again failing. The two thousand dollar high pressure oil pump that was installed at the Vernon Tx Dealership is another part related to running hot oil, just to mention one of many expensive repairs.

I recently purchased an F-250 Super Duty after a bad experience with a Chev 1 ton diesel 4x4. I test drove the F-250 but not long enough to discover the truck sets too high and climbing in and out of it a dozen times a day leaves me in much pain. I am vertically challenged, 5-10, and have a leg problem so it is my fault for buying a truck that has this problem but I don't understand why it has to be so high up to get into the driver's door. I've spent a lot of time looking for a way to lower the truck but am told there is none. I guess I'm stuck with the truck but Dodge is looking better and better.

Bought this 2008 F-350 truck with a 6.4 engine in it from a friend at Hillyer's Ford in Or. Had 44,000 miles on it at the time. It has been a mechanical disaster since we purchased it in 2011. Fuel pump issues, ejector issues, 2 pistons at 2 separate times so now we have more than 30,000 into a truck that has only 124,000 miles on it. It has mostly been in a mechanic's shop instead on the road or at its home. We are never, never going to purchase a Ford vehicle ever again!! That's a shame since we have owned at least 2 Fords ever since we were married in 1973. Tried to get some mechanics to back their work, or help Ford to realize this one is a lemon, but No!! They just want to charge you over 5,000 each time in labor alone to pull the cab and fix the "new" problem.

NEVER BUY A FORD TRUCK! We bought a new 2010 F350 diesel engine King Ranch. At about 30,000 miles the engine blew. They replaced most of it under warranty but not all of it. 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.

My 2008 Ford super duty with only 57000 miles lost power driving up a hill for no known reason. This truck has been serviced according to the mfg recommendations. Towed to the nearest Ford dealer in San Bernardino and found out the engine cylinder is damaged and I need a new motor. $17,000 ARE YOU KIDDING! What a ** nightmare. I will never buy another Ford and I would recommend no one should. These trucks are lemons and Ford should be recalling all of them. I wish I never bought this truck.

I have a 08 Ford F250 Diesel 6.4L truck and I have had to replace 3 radiators on the truck and I only have 127,000 miles on the truck. The first was covered under warranty at 70K miles. Second radiator was not since I was at 100,800 miles. Now 27K miles later the 3rd radiator failure. This is a known issue from Ford and all radiators/thermostats/ cooling reservoirs should be recalled and Ford should be forced to repair.

Recently got back into a pickup truck - having owned many Fords, Chevy, and several Suburbans over past 30 years. It's been 15 years since my last "pick-up" and almost 10 since my last AWD Sub. Could NOT be happier with the 2011 F350 XLT 6.7 diesel I found - secondhand with 29,000 KMs/18,000 miles on. Original "owner" had specifically leased the truck to pull a fifth wheel.

My new 2015 F-250 Nav entertainment factory system is unable to play CDs. Skips, garbles, etc. They play fine on my first 2011 F-250. Dealer has change out the Player twice. So we tried on another 2015 F-250 -- does the same thing. My salesperson tried his CDs as well on 2015 F-250 on their lot. Indeed it will not play his either. Dealer is saying Ford doesn't plan on fixing problem, because they don't think there is one. Last time I got similar answer from Ford, I drove Chevys for 20 years. Sure as hell disappointed in expensive piece of Junk, that Ford will do NOTHING about.

I bought a Ford F-350 about 3 years ago when I started up my business. Bought this truck thinking it would be a dependable diesel since Ford has been making them for a long time. Since I bought it used with roughly 64K miles, I have spent close to 10 thousand dollars in repairs. Talk about a huge mistake buying this truck. Every time we come off the road it's in the shop, heartbreaking knowing I'm stuck with this piece of junk because our truck keeps us working. This truck keeps our company in debt. Would like for nothing more than to get out of this piece of crap but that's impossible when I have to keep fixing this one and can't save any money to even think about getting a new truck. Very sad.

We as people fail to realize Ford Motor Co. had International manufacture these motors that were placed in these trucks. International Motors needs to man up to what they've done to the consumers. I also bought a 06 Ford F-250 King Ranch very proudly with a 6.0 60,000miles. I have 157,000 miles now. It has cost me $8,000.00 so far to own this truck in repairs. These motors were put into Fire Trucks, Ambulances, Cable Trucks, Tow Trucks, City Trucks. We all share the same problems as the next person or Company. These trucks have cost all of us a lot of money and downtime, very very disappointing.

2013 F250 6.7L Diesel - Just did my 55,000 mile oil change at Bill Utter Ford located in Denton Texas 11-6-2015. Service writer had technician show me a coolant leak on the driver side by the plastic drain plug. Talking with the technicians I was shocked to find that this is NOT a uncommon issue. There is absolutely no reason for a 70,000$ medium duty truck that is used for nothing more than a commuter. No towing, no performance upgrades. The dealer says 1,700.00 to replace. After reading hundreds of posts on diesel forums I have to ask who is ready for a class action lawsuit. Since 2010 Ford super duty has been plagued with radiator problems, and I believe Ford is still using faulty equipment and hammering their customers for an obvious warranty/recall issue.

I have a 2004 F350 6.0 Diesel with 74,000 miles that I use to pull my 5th wheel camper. I took my camper up to Western Maryland this past weekend and blow a head gasket. The mechanic stated this is his 4th blown head gasket on a 6.0 Ford in the past couple months. Is there a recall on this 6.0? I was going to retire and travel, but, this sure does change all the plans.

9/20/2014, I purchased a New 2015 F250 Crew Cab 4x4 truck from Charles Gabus Ford in Des Moines, Iowa. It listed for $52884.00. 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.

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.

I commented on F-350 3 years ago, well I'm back! After a total engine redo in 2012 at 85000 miles, and 2 more transmissions before 110,000 miles I finally sold that piece of crap to a dealer and bought a Chevy 3500, no problems since. Except I still have a 07 explorer, I mean "exploder" that's what the parts houses call them; 75,000 miles, replace radiator, and both front rotors. 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. I can't believe an American company could do this to us!

I have owned several Ford trucks and this 2015 while cleaning exhaust starting bucking like a cowboy on a bull. This has happened a lot and with 6k miles is unacceptable. I lost power for a good 3-4 minutes while driving and noises from under the truck that you should not hear. Anyone else out there with similar issues? Dealership bound today and see what at outcome is. My 2012 F350 had EGR issues so I am concerned.

Water in fuel (WIF) sensor failed allowing water into fuel system. 14,800 miles on a 2014 truck. Ford says they will not warranty it. Estimated $8300 repair.

This is for anyone thinking about buying a Ford f250 super duty or similar truck - don't stop and do your research. They all have the same problems no matter what year, make or model. They will just all the sudden stop running no matter where you are, highway, road, street, etc. Also the glow coil is bad and there are other problems with the front end alignment where the car is pulling to the right or left. The car gushes out water due to faulty parts. Do your research before buying. Concerned citizen. Stuck with large payments and a truck with all kind of faulty parts.

Bought 2015 F250 Dec. 2014. Drive minimal so now has less than 6500 miles on it. The other day leaving my house I take a sharp right turn driving about 15-17 mph and loss power steering & brakes mid turn. I ended up hitting a small tree. Insurance says it's my fault. Truck malfunctioned. I see a lot of Ford recalls for my same issue. Sadly dealership DIDN'T check my truck out to make sure it won't happen again, cause insurance says it's my fault. Anyone else hear if 2015 F250s with this same problem.

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. I had to pull over and let the engine idle down before I could continue. I immediately drove the truck back to Sanderson Ford to be repaired. Service Advisor John ** helped me. 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 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.

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. The truck kept shuddering down the road especially when breaking. Complaints to Ford and Dealership were made but never resolved with customer. Instead Money had to be spent to repair and now to find out the national warranty was never registered and everything is covered including loss time and wages or replacement of truck if broke down for longer than 6 days.

2011 F-350 got 20 miles per gallon highway all the power in the world. Took it in for a recall. Now I get 16 miles per gallon freeway and no power and they say I have to live with it. It only has 30,000 miles on it. When I bought it if it had no power and got 16 miles per gallon I would never have paid $60,000. Wouldn't have given 30,000 for this truck. It's garbage. The chip they sell it with is not what you end up with. Three years down the road when they recall it. This is my last Ford. I can't wait to dump it and buy another GM product.

When I bought my 95' F350 Diesel I didn't know much about it so I took it to the dealer. The last time I had it at the dealer they gave me three quotes totaling $100,000. The Ford master mechanics statement was "Diesels costs BIG MONEY BUDDY... BIG MONEY..." I went out and bought a crankshaft sensor for $305, it took me 3 minutes to put it on. My truck has been running good ever since (2003).

I bought this 2000 Ford F250 Super Duty 5.4L truck used with about 100,000 miles on it, and I've put 30,000 on it since. Thought it would last me quite a few years, since Ford has been making F250's forever, and should have worked all the bugs out by now. Should have done research before buying it, because I read nothing but horror stories online about this engine and Ford's lack of support. In my case it appears that a valve has burnt out or is not seating properly, and it looks like a 1200$ fix to remove the head. After reading all the complaints I am now looking for a Toyota Tundra, and will ditch this Ford first chance I get.

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.

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.

I've had my truck lift wife and title more than a yr. It all started last November be driving down the rd and bam the whole truck would shut down out of the blue. I brought it into Russell and Smith Ford in Houston Texas. They put it On the computer and nothing. A day or so it shut down when we my wife and I were turning And almost got hit. Brought it back again. Nothing again Computer says. Next day Stopped again. Back again. They let it run all day - nothing. Never turned off the computer - says it's working great. That evening come real close to getting t-boned. Next day 8 am they took it for a drive to Lagrange Texas And back. Nothing. My wife and I are really kinda mad. We took a small trip to Shreveport LA. Drove great up there.

Our 2001 Ford F-250 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel has been powerful, reliable, and very comfortable and smooth riding. The turning radius is a little big, but that's to be expected with a crew cab. It has great 4 wheel drive, is very well built and still gets great mpg. It gets 17+ on the highway and it gets 14 mpg when pulling a 25,000 lb. trailer, which I consider great. We had a 1999 F-350 diesel, which at 330,000 miles showed no signs of quitting, but it was totaled in a car accident, which is the only way you will lose one of these trucks before 500,000 miles. Get one if you can.

The Ford death wobble isn't were only older trucks. My brand new 2015 F-350 with only five thousand miles on it has experienced it 5 times so far. The local dealership I purchased the truck from is unwilling to do anything about it because it will not happen when on a test drive with service personnel. Is board waiting for someone to die before they acknowledge this issue and correct the problems?

Truck rolled approximately 200 feet destroying 32 feet of fencing and damaging truck tailgate.

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.

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 have a 2013 Ford f-350 Dually with 105,000 miles. It has been extremely well maintained as this is my living. I was driving back home pulling an empty 32' gooseneck, when I heard a pop and then the truck started shaking, with the reduced power warning coming on. The truck suddenly went dead and it was all I could do to get to the side of the road and out of traffic. I had it towed to the town's local Ford dealer, where I was informed that the HPFP had exploded and the metal had gone through the entire fuel system. The price tag is $8,000.00. This seems to be the norm on Ford's and I think that there should be a class action suit filed, for a known faulty fuel system.

Front end wobbles bad when applying brakes! Bearings good, ball joints replaced, rotors replaced, brakes replaced, sway bar linkage replaced. Everything seems to be tight in front end and the wobble still persists. Don't know what else to do. Any advise would be appreciated!

Purchased new a 2008 F250 Super Crew 8' bed Diesel. Had issue after issue with this truck. Had to fight with the dealership to take care of each time it was in the shop. The first issue after owning for a few short months was the front caliber went out. Next the Alternator and idler arm (I think this is correct name used) went out. 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.

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.

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.

I purchased a 2011 F250 that has a "Premium Care" extended warranty that was purchased by the original owner. He is willing to transfer however the Dealership claims that the truck/warranty was purchased in Canada therefore the warranty can not be transferred to me. Makes no sense when the truck was built in the U.S., sold by a Canadian dealership, then after a trade in it was purchased a U.S. dealership, who in turn sold it to me. This makes absolutely no sense at all. I thought Ford was Ford. Why should it make a difference when it is a U.S. manufactured item?

I am a contractor and I always had a Ford truck, I loved them, this year (2015) I went out and bought a new Power Stroke, looked great. After 3 months of owning it and 1790 miles the transmission is acting up. When you drive uphill and need to slow due to traffic and then try to resume speed the truck goes into a violent jump as if the transmission was in 5th gear. I brought it to Ford which is another story in itself, I won't mention which one but I need my truck fixed he said it was a computer issue that needed to be reprogrammed, ok easy enough. After 4 days of having my truck yes 4 days I go to dealer and flip out, I mean flip the hell out.

I have a ford F-350 super duty truck with a 6.0 diesel engine. It was running a little rough. The ford garage told me it was EGR valve and it needed 1 and 3 injectors. When I left the garage it was worst than when I went there. Now it stalls about every half mile. What happened at the ford garage?

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.

The computer on my truck shut it down. I got a "stop safely now" message. So I pulled over to the side of the road wondering what was going on. The bad part, as soon as your speed drops below 5 mph the truck shuts off. No chance to completely get off the road, you are stuck. 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. Concerned about the computer taking over my truck again so it sits all weekend waiting to get back to a Ford dealer. Not a very reliable truck.

I bought a 2005 Ford F350 with the 6.0 diesel engine and what a disappointment it has been. What angers me most is how Ford deals with the problems. The motor was a very expensive experiment and the majority of the cost is passed on to the consumer. I have followed all Ford's service recommendations and still have a never ending stream of very expensive breakdowns. 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. The dealerships are in cahoots with these guys and try to look sympathetic but we all know there is an app for that. I am going to make a point to let as many people know about Fords blatant disregard for a once faithful Ford enthusiast.

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?

I purchased a used 2011 F350 Super Duty with 104,000 miles. Also purchased their Ford ESP Premium Care extended service plan after the finance department advised me that it covers "virtually everything". 40 days after the purchased the truck shut down in the middle lane of the freeway during rush hour traffic with no warning other than the "Stop Safely Now" display popping up! I managed to get the vehicle safely to the shoulder of the roadway, but narrowly missed being sideswiped twice by traffic flying past me at 70+ miles per hour! The truck has been at the dealership I purchased it from for two days now and the EGT sensor #2 is indeed bad. And of course, it is NOT covered under the warranty package I purchased. I am currently awaiting a decision as to whether or not the dealership will cover the cost of repairs. Why is Ford so hesitant on taking care of something they apparently know is problematic and an obvious safety hazard?!

I recently purchased a Special Order 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty Gasoline powered engine. I only have 6,270 miles on the truck. The Brake System light has come on 5 times now in which I have taken the truck in for the replacement part. A Brake System Component has fried each time. Has anyone experienced this type of component failure?

My question is why Ford was and continues to get away with the numerous problems these 6.0 diesels have. It is very clear these motors were engineered and constructed extremely poorly. When it comes down to casting sand left in the motor, that is just plain inexcusable. Not to mention the head bolt, head gasket and turbo issues. I am thinking of posting a petition on the White House web page to have the Attorney General look into this abuse of the American consumer. Thoughts from anyone?

I bought 2 brand new F-350s, one in 2013 and the other in 2014. Both of the trucks starting to leak on the radiator on the left bottom side. My trucks just went out of warranty and the dealer is charging me $1800.00 just to replace the radiator on each truck. Is this a coincidence or what? Two trucks different with the same exact problems...now I have a business and I can't deliver my product because I don't have a freaking truck!! Isn't this supposed to be a recall? Is anyone else having the same issue? Thanks.

My 6.7 diesel has 118,000 miles on it. I was towing on the interstate and felt a shake. Pulled over and it was a nasty vibration. Towed to local Ford dealer and told the #5 glow plug was broke off in cylinder. They have seen this before and there is likely valve, cylinder damage to multiple cylinders. 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.

I purchased a new 2015 Ford F250 4x4 crew cab in November of 2014 and was content until the snow came and I engaged the four wheel drive. A rolling shift (not on the throttle), a loud bang and lurch to the left with a heavy grinding sound from the left front end. Flatbed down to Ford in Reno NV. and they "pulled the axles and hubs and checked OASIS and everything is fine". Not a speck of dirt was smudged on the hubs or lug caps. Bottom line...they lied about pulling it apart. February 28 while driving to work in the second snow storm and the same thing and almost wrecked my truck. Thank God my kids were not with me as I barely saved it from wrecking down an embankment. I have had 4x4s of all makes since my first vehicle as a teen and never experienced anything like this before...ever. LEMON!

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.

My vehicle is a 2012 F 450 super duty w/ a 6.7 diesel engine. 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.

I've had nothing but problems with my $52.000 ford truck. But now I feel like they just do and say whatever they want just to get into your pocket and not complete warranty work. I had new turbos put in at antioch dealer at a cost of 5600.00 not even 4700 hundred miles ago. They told me 2 year warranty if anything was to happen to the turbos. This is why I used Ford instead of private shop that was 1200.00 cheaper. Well guess what, truck lost power last week. Knew instantly turbos went, I was 1 bl away from Antioch store so pulled in.

Bought this truck for both business travels & farm use. Most all of the 97,200 miles are highway miles. Took it in last week for the first front brake job. Still pad left but had them replaced. 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.

I pre-ordered this truck. It was one of the first ones off the assembly line for model year. Got it early September of 2001. I am over 190,000 miles on this 6.8-liter crew cab 4X4 and doing well. I have used this truck hard. I have even changed the spark plugs myself at home. This is my 5th Ford truck and only minor issues with each. Everyone always talks about how great Toyota is but I have had more issues with my Toyota car that is 7 years newer. I am happy with my Toyota but will go back to Ford for my next car since they perform better.

I just bought a 2002 F250 last week and in my first week of ownership, the rear passenger side spark plug blew out! The truck was maintained well by the previous owner and after driving it back and forth to work for a few days. I was left without transportation and am currently waiting to see how the repair will cost me. Ford really needs to step up and do the right thing with a recall and reimburse the cost for repairs related to this insanely common problem caused by Ford's ineptitude.

Ford F-350 6.0 - Stranded in Cedar City, Utah due to a ICP fault code, broke down lost oil pressure. Truck has 41800 miles on it, Ford dealership charging 860.00 for repair. Anyone know where I can join in on a class action suit against these lemons? Currently incurring Hotel Cost since town is closed on the weekends.

I purchased a new 2015 Ford F250 Crew Cab FX4 truck. After a couple of weeks I noticed that the truck bed was built out of alignment. The passenger side is flush with the cab from top to bottom and the driver is flush at the bottom and tucks behinds the cab 7/8" of an inch. It really bothers me, and every time I turn left it makes me look in the mirror longer than I should. I can't help it. It bothers me so much I find myself staring at it every time I turn left. After speaking with Ford customer service and escalating the case, I was finally told that the Ford engineers allow for a 1 inch tolerance when welding the bed.

I paid 47,000.00 for my f250 v10 "6.8" Gasser.. All my friends bought the Toyota trucks. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Tow the truck to dealership I bought it from, checked for codes, none showed up. Told to drive it till it breaks, happened 4 more times, on when pulling horse trailer. Took to same dealer again, no codes found, told just drive it till it breaks. Happened again, knocking in engine area was very loud. Took to different dealer, checked, no codes, updated two things, reset something else. Happened again, feels like going over bumps on the road then starts knocking.

When accelerating while towing or when on an incline - the truck has a serious vibration. Ford doesn't offer a solution.

2005 F350 continuous problems - Have had for 5 years and have spent about 10,000 altogether in repairs! From EGR Cooler/bolts warped-creating 'death wobble'/turbo issues/lose power while hauling/coolant leaking and more. Not safe to haul with this truck even though it's a super duty... currently trying to sell so we can get something back out of our cost for this junk and buy something we can trust hauling with. I had looked into different F350's but now am finding problems with all of them. :( Just want a reliable truck that I don't have to be scared of hauling with.

We own a 2002 Ford 350 super duty 4x4 4-door long bed 200,000+ miles that cost us 35,000 new that has rusted away so bad that it won't even pass inspection here in PA. Ford should be ashamed to build a throw away truck. If I should buy another diesel truck I will probably go back to Dodge.

I had a friend driving my truck to run an errand and he heard and felt an explosion. He literally thought he had been shot. He pulled over and called me, very shaken and upset. He was literally 500 yards from my driveway when it happened. I asked if it showed hot, any lights on or anything. He said no, everything was great. Well that explosion, when we opened the hood, and called the diesel mechanic, has cost me $8,000 in repairs!!! The ERG valve etc... I really think this is a class action suit for a lawyer after reading about all of us having the same issue. I will never ever get my money out of this vehicle and I will never ever trust it. This has put a financial and mental strain on me. This is a 2006 F250 King Ranch. I don't understand Ford. They have always built great trucks, but this problem we are all having --- it’s their problem not ours. Where are the Ford people that we put our trust in?

Pulling a 7000 trailer on freeway, level ground. Engine started making mild tapping sound, approx. 1 minute later, truck began to lose power and transmission started to down shift on its own. I was started off the coming up off ramp, and engine shut off approx. 40 mph. lost steering and power brakes. Had to use electric trailer brakes to help stop, still ran red light. Towed to nearest Ford dealer. They found engine suffered a catastrophic internal engine failure. Anybody had a similar experience? Truck has been serviced at purchasing dealer at all required intervals at or before recommended intervals.

I have been enjoying my 2012 F-250 King Ranch immensely as I hunt a lot and have hauled some full 12' U-Hauls over the mountains in recent months moving our household goods. My big disappointment has been with Ford. The mirror motor failed which prevents the auto folding feature from working. When I took it to the dealer, they offered to fix it under warranty but needed Ford's permission first. Ford denied the warranty work stating that "digital image experts" had determined from photos that I had damaged the mirror. That just isn't so and the dealer mechanic agreed but is powerless to help. Discussions with customer service got me nowhere and a letter to the CEO was unanswered. So much for the great American company I thought Ford had become.

Never again will I own a Ford truck after I lost 2 spark plugs. Dealer wanted $4000.00 for new head. I got lucky that the 2 plugs held with helicoils. It's a shame that America made products are falling apart leaving the door wide open to foreign auto makers. This is a 1 owner truck that was pampered its whole life. You would think after all the complaints Ford would take time to figure out how to keep its truck buyers from straying away. That 5.4 head was a mistake and should have been recalled.

2012 F250 King Ranch - Beautiful Truck, 30,000 miles and the torque converter goes bad and truck was getting sluggish on acceleration. Dealer installs new torque converter and downloads a new program from Ford engineers. 42,000 miles and the EGT Probe in the exhaust goes bad. I am scared to death to keep this truck past the warranty. Has anybody heard from Ford on any recall on these trucks.

I bought this truck in 2012 with 101000 kms. @101500, the right rear pinion bearing goes - $1200 repair. @ 110000 km, left pinion bearing goes. @ 115000 kms, left front bearing goes - $850 repair. @ 125000 head gasket goes. Ford, what are you doing? We buy these trucks on past experiences of being dependable. Maybe time for Ford to get out of trucks. Last one I'll buy.

MY F350 after 35,000 miles cost me so far $15,000 on repairs. The DPF & EGR system is a very bad design AND create all kind of problems to the Engine. When you purchase the sales person do not tell you that the DPF &EGR HAS TO BE CHANGE 50,000 to 70,000 miles and the cost is $2,500.

I have a 2013 Ford F-250 diesel and have an awful turbo lag. Sometimes it will take 2 to 4 seconds for the engine to make power. Switching lanes on a freeway is taking your life in your hands as the engine will act as if it has died, almost like you have hit your brakes in front of the car you just passed and switched lanes on. Why is Chevrolet being crucified in the media and making all those recalls, while it seems Ford is in somebody's pocket, no recalls. The 2006 Ford diesels is the greatest example I can give. I do smell a LOT of rats here.

Ford F350 2011 Superduty powerstroke with 6.7 - Has anybody else had problems with this motor? Mine has been pretty good, now have 77,000 miles and had to have connecting rod bearing, which caused piston contact and cylinder head valve contact on cylinder to bad fuel injector and bad EGR cooler, and was not told why in the world this happened to my truck. Does anyone know what could have caused this or is it a default?

Have had troubles with our f250 truck shortly after we bought. Many different problems. It has been 8 months and it has been in the shop over 50 days and counting. Presently in shop. We bought the most expensive truck and did research on the diesel engine and thought we were buying a dependable vehicle as my husband needs it for his job. I kept saying, it is under warranty and they will fix it but now, it is 2,000 miles away from the warranty running out. I asked ford for a extended warranty and they said they couldn't do it because I bought the truck in NY. I believe they are just wanting the warranty to run out and then it can be my problem. We have written letters, called numerous people. One of the mechanics we had working on the truck said it is a embarrassment to him. Everyone understands that they too would be upset but we are not getting anywhere. I believe I cannot get a lemon law because the truck has almost 34,000 miles on it. I don't know what more to do.

Bought a 2011 F350 XL 4x2 in April 2014. Sat on dealer lot for just over 3 years. Noticed vibrations in steering wheel immediately. Called local dealer who couldn't get me in for 2 weeks because they were backed up from two RECALLS on other vehicles. Immediately diagnosed truck as having "flat spots in tires from sitting on lot so long". What did they do? NOTHING. Told me to drive "several hundred more miles" to see if the flat spots would fix themselves... There were several more serious complaints about the truck's suspension, but that will be the subject of my next complaint...

Long time Ford owner - 95 F350, 97 F350, 02 Excursion w/ 7.3, 03 Ranger, 06 F350 with POS 6.0 diesel. The 6.0 has made me choose to never purchase Ford again - I just don't know how to stop the madness. Multiple EGR valve/cooler replacement, 6 injectors replaced, replaced headgaskets, crank, etc, shimmy that they never could find problem with. So many problems we did complain enough to get extended warranty for 7 yrs/200k miles which expired Oct 2012. Dec 2013 - blew headgasket again! Only 20k after Ford replaced. This job cost $9500.

While hauling a 5th wheel travel trailer, we heard a loud knocking noise pulled over thinking a flat on the trailer, get out and it's truck. No lights on the dash came on at all. Had truck towed to dealership. They called us the next day stating the #7 glow plug broke off into the engine. The dealership recommended replacing the engine. 18k dollars! I then began research on the net for this kind of problem. Guess what I found, I'm not the only one this has happened to. The dealership also told me 2 other trucks have already been in for the same problem. I can't understand why Ford won't fix their mistakes!! Greed is all I can think.

When travelling on Hwy 17 near Deep River, Ontario, I passed a car and my truck began slowing down and sputtering. The transmission showed that it was stuck between 2nd and 4th gear and would not go into 6th gear. I needed to put both feet on the breaks (having just passed someone - wonder what his thought were?) It seemed to me that the accelerator was also down to the floor and would not come back up. This happened so quickly that I can't swear on this. I needed to put the transmission in Neutral to eventually stop. The truck smelled of burned rubber but eventually was normal.

I bought a brand new 2012 F250 from a local dealership in my hometown at the end of 2011. I've had nothing but issues, EGR, CENSORS, and Now they called me and told me my fuel system is toast. $8600.00 for repairs and won't be able to get parts in for 2 more months. This truck has left me on the side of the highway 4 times in the past 2 years. And of course my warranty ran out @ 100,000 miles. I have 113,000 miles on the truck now. All they are saying is, "Well sir unfortunately there is no way we can't back you and help you with the issues." Any suggestions to what I could do??

I have a 1996 F250 7.3 520,000 miles replace eng. now has 600,000 miles and the eng. I put in used now has 250,000 on it. This truck has always pulled whatever I have hooked to. 1999 7.3 F350 I have had a lot of issues but this truck was not service right from the time it was bought new till I bought it so I have had to repair all of the problems from the abuse. Truck has 295,000 and eng. has 110,000 on it, had a starting problem replace high pressure oil pump and fuel pump and injectors now is starting. Will make a good truck when I get the abuse repaired.

My 2011 Ford F350 Super Duty 6.2 radiator was leaking, I had it replaced for $1400 at my local dealership. The truck only had 18,500 miles on it, and Ford will not cover the replacement of the part. These are very expensive trucks, why won't Ford stand behind their products? Their consumer help line got angry with me when I said I would submit a complaint with the Attorney General. I will tell my story and see what happens.

I bought a 2007 Ford 350 Dually new. This was the first new Ford I had ever owned. The reason I bought this truck was for tax purpose only. My truck has only 30,699 miles, I don't drive it very much, so I thought I'll just sell it. I have advertised this truck 5 times. When people start asking questions, there are no problems until they ask if it is a 6.0 then they reply with "No thanks", "That's all I need to know", "Has it been bullet proofed (referring to EGR problems)" fixed in other words. I am beginning to feel like I have a truck I can't sell. I'm asking $28,000.00 for this truck, I've been told I'm in line with my price. After this experience with Ford, I will not own another one.

Well I did got a 2005 with 107,000 on the engine. Truck look good, few scratches, normal. Got it from Beuhler ford in NJ. Then the first week driving my truck running at 55 miles per hr. The truck stop working, running, very scary situation. I did sent it to the dealer and they told me it need a egr valve. My bill $475. Three months later white smoke coming out of tail pipe a lot. They told me head gasket and it will cost $5700.00 to fix it. I did call Ford and they told me is out of warranty.

I bought my 2005 F-250 4x4 Diesel Truck new from Power Ford in Valencia, Ca. I had a dream of pulling my 27' Gooseneck Horse trailer with my 3 horses all over for new trail riding and camping experiences. Under warranty, 3 times in the shop for turbo problems, numerous times for won't start and they couldn't find that problem. It even happened while camping at Morro Bay. I had to leave it and get a ride back to camp to feed the horses. Got a ride back to truck the next day, got it started, then couldn't turn it off until I got home. Then it blew white smoke while pulling my horses going downhill - head gasket. Thankfully at one month before warranty was up. I had to pay a $100 deductible. Since then something with the oil cooler $800. Then the cheap clamps on my turbo vacuum hose blew while pulling up the 5 Golden State Freeway with 3 horses headed for a camping trip to the Sequoias. Talk about a trip wrecker.

Replaced under warranty were turbo and EGR valve, Oil seal at rear of engine leaking - replaced, hose to turbo blowing of - replaced. During vacation in TX, truck diagnosed with oil cooler inside engine to be defective - not cooling. Repair estimate for starters, $2,500.00. Truck had 55,000 miles on it, always pampered and used only for camping (5th wheel and truck camper). Having camper on board was forced to either buy new truck or "nurse" this one home to CO with the good chance of totally ruining the engine. Was I satisfied with the 05? No. Had Ford trucks for 30+ years with this one being the "bad apple". Now have 2014 F350, 6.7 HD, 4x4, DW. Seriously hope this truck will be reliable and lasts and lasts and... well, lasts. TX dealer: No recommendation.

I have a 2006 F350 6.0l. Here is the list. I have done the EGR delete kit, Oil cooler, water pump, fan clutch, all injectors. The head gasket with the ARP bolts.Two thermostats, the blue spring kit and an alternator. This truck has always have regular oil changes and a fuel lubricant for the injectors. Its in the shop right now getting a new high pressure oil pump for $3100. They took it for a test drive and the main rad blew up. Yep more cash. This is my dilemma! I'm so far into it, do I quit. If I sell it can I live with myself doing that to my fellow man. Ford needs to step up and help out its owners. Its been three years for repairs and being left on the road. It is easily the biggest stress in my life.

I had taken my back to the dealership several times complaining about the smoke. This last time, I was told by the dealership that the cooling system needed to be replaced and would cost $2500. I told them not to order the parts because I still have the cooling system that was replaced the two years before and that seems that the cooling system would last longer than two years. Then I was told they would call me back. On call back, I was informed by the dealership that the radiator and hoses needed to be replaced and the cost would be $1500. I advised them that I had brought the vehicle back to them several times for the same thing before the warranty ran out and now the warranty is out. Now I am responsible for paying for what should have been taken care of the first time I brought in my truck.

I have a 2006 Ford 250 6.0 Diesel since new - sticker price was $50,000-$60,000. I bought this truck to last a long time - sales guys would say - this truck will run 200,000 miles without problems. (I have 2 other Fords - Mustang and Ford Explorer - the Explorer has 170k miles and still running strong.) I bought the F250 diesel truck for hauling the boat or car on weekends.

I have a '06 F350 6.0. It has had so many problems. First was a leaking sunroof, they fixed that. Then I had a High pressure oil pump going bad, fixed that. Then I had a turbo go out, fixed that. Then came the EGR cooler which clogged up, that cause my head gaskets to blow and heads to warp. Then when I got to the dealership, my water in fuel light came on. Had a bad fuel pump and all my injectors went bad. I was told that it was not covered under the warranty because the cause was the EGR cooler which was not covered under warranty according to the dealership.

2012 Ford F250 Super Duty XLT - This truck has 73k miles on it which is high but dealer is saying needs a new Radiator and 2 new front Hub Assemblies to the tune of $3616. I am the second owner - bought last year with 50k miles on it and have babied it since, regular maintenance performed. I don't understand how this truck needs substantial repairs already. I can't even shop aftermarket parts because it's too new for them to be available yet. Seems like repairs like this should be encountered about the time the vehicle is paid for and I'm not even close.

While driving to work, heard large knock, engine lost power, began to smoke out the exhaust and engine died, pulled to the side of the road. Sent vehicle to Ford dealership for diagnostics. Engine was torn down and the technician found cylinder 1 piston cracked in half and other starting to crack from center of piston bowl to outer edge. This truck has had an engine replaced already under warranty and many failures while under warranty. I am 10000 miles out of warranty and the truck is a 2008 F350 with the 6.4 engine. I did some research and found many others complaining of the same issues with their trucks with repair bills up to 19 thousand dollars.

We own a 2006 Ford F250 diesel 6.0 and have repeatedly heard of the EGR defect. Our truck only has 102K miles on it and overheated and had white smoking coming out of it. We are afraid to hear what is wrong. If it is the EGR cooler, does anyone know if Ford is taking care of this problem? It seems to me it is a common defect and we expect our truck to run a lot longer than 102K miles! Is there a class action? Or anything we can do?

In March 2013, my brakes completely failed in high traffic. Saving grace was brake system on horse trailer engaging and stopping me at traffic light inches from car ahead. Diagnosis Capital Ford of Wilmington: rear caliper driver's side stuck, cost: $750.00 plus tow. This past weekend October 2013 again steering pulls, brakes fail this time towing gooseneck with no brakes but instead pushing me forward into traffic light intersection. Luckily, I was first in line & no oncoming traffic. Diagnosis: passenger rear caliper damage. "Well these things happen," service manager says..."That will be $604.53." Are you freaking kidding me? That is an inadequate response to two catastrophic brake failure episodes...

When we purchased this truck from Oroville Ford, Oroville, CA in March 2007, **, the General Manager, assured us this diesel truck was a very reliable & dependable truck, like all Ford diesel trucks in the past. We have purchased 11-12 Ford vehicles in the past, including 9 of them being trucks and 4 being diesel trucks. Since the purchase of this vehicle in March of 2007 from Oroville Ford, we have had one breakdown after another and have invested approximately $22,000.00 to keep this vehicle operating.

107,000 km. radiator started to leak. Dealer was aware of problem. Cost to repair $1,600.00 + gst. OEM radiators have known problem. Will FORD issue a recall? Maybe a class-action lawsuit?

I own a 2007 F350 6.0. At 100 km., the head gaskets went! Took my truck to a very reputable diesel shop and had all the upgrades you can do, head bolts, gaskets, EGR delete and so on. Heads were shaved for perfect fit and in Ford tolerances. Not even a year later, the heads have begun leaking antifreeze into the exhaust again. Can't do heads again. They must be replaced. $4500.00 first time to fix. Now your options are replace with new heads at $1400.00 a side plus labor or get a re-manufactured motor for $7200.00 plus $2500.00 install or burn the truck!!!!!!!

I bought a Ford truck with 16000 miles. At 40,000 miles, I started to have problems with fan belt and dash electrical problem. So take truck to dealer for squeaking noise. The mech says fan belt. After more research and dedication from myself to find the balancer was wobbling and that created the belt squeaking noise. So found out the mechanic was putting on silicone to stop the squeaking noise. It was not fixed and would come back a month later. Threes later still squeaking so I put silicone on it. The dealer did not fix with warranty or without warranty. Now I have EGR valve problem. Dealer said flash the intake out and it will take care of the problem. $1000.00 later, same problem. It will cost $5000.00 to fix my truck.

2005 ford f250 sd - Last week, I was driving on the freeway and, all of a sudden, the truck died causing me to have to stop in the middle of the freeway. Had to have the truck towed home. Contacted they will do nothing when it has been told about how bad the 6.0 motor has been manufactured. The truck was bought for 45,000. Right now, it only has 39,000 miles on it. I have a friend that is a shop foreman at a Ford dealership and said that motor is defective.

My truck had death roll wobble, took it to Auburn Ford for repair. After spending $800.00, they gave me the truck back. I wasn't 2 miles down the road and the front end felt like it was coming apart. I called them and complained. Their reply - not Ford's problem, it's my lift kit. I didn't drive this truck for nearly a year. It was Dangerous to drive. Finally out of frustration, my husband and my son went piece by piece on the front end, found a 10.00 bushing was bad, replaced it and it has been fixed ever since... Now my truck won't start, took it to Ford. Bill was $1953.00. Drove it 20 miles, turned it off and guess what, still won't start. Called Ford to complain and they told me it's my batteries or I'm low on oil. Well, it went into the shop because it wouldn't start in the first place. SO, rather than sending it back down, we replaced both batteries and had oil changed. Still won't start... I hate this truck... but it's pretty in the driveway!

I too wish I had done my homework. At 50,000 miles the turbo went out. Then on my first trip in the truck with my grandkids at 52,000 miles, the heads lifted. I've had so much trouble I'm sick about the truck. Now at 72,000 miles, it's back in the shop that will cost about $3000 we figure. I will not buy another Ford truck.

Should have done my Homework - I would just like to say that the 2005 Ford F350 with the 6.0 motor that I purchased is a really really poorly put together machine. I'll never understand why it was not recalled to have the design flaws corrected. Well in retrospect Ford is making a ton of money from this crappy truck. People who have bought them like myself are working tooth and nail to save them from the scrap yard where they belong..... Myself I put forward a lot of money to get this truck, beautiful as it is, and have not even got six months use before major engine problems. Like the title states, I should've done some research before buying this thing. I would've seen that an average working man trying to pay a note on this thing could not afford the repairs; that its flaws are many, and extremely costly, some as high as purchasing another vehicle (used but in better condition).

Had the engine worked on several times under warranty, had the oil cooler replaced, the turbos, 3 times, rear main seal, tran cooler, exhaust system cleaner, the list goes on. And now today, it started smoking like crazy and there is oil coming out of my tailpipe. Looks like turbos seals are shot, and it’s out of warranty. Now what, I can’t afford to fix the piece of **.

In Jan 2013 we purchased a used 2006 6.0 liter Diesel F-250. We did not start having problem with it until 3 months ago. It's out of warranty from the dealer. I called the Ford Motor company for help, no help from them at all. I called my local Lemon Law and the truck does not fall under the Law. I need help. We have put in close to 2,000 in the past 4 weeks in this truck. Our wrench light kept coming on. I brought to the dealer like a month ago, they told me to fix the FICM and see if the light goes off. It did not. I notice I had to keep adding coolant to it twice a week.

We were ecstatic and had paid off our 2006 F350 Diesel in February of this year (2013). In July, the engine blew. I have always taken care of the truck and in fact it was at Firestone when this transpired. It is now sitting at the Ford Dealer. HELP!

I bought new 2004 F-350 6.0. I changed oil myself after Ford dealer stripped the oil pan plug. I did not have any problems until approx. 140,000 and then within 8,000 I spent $7,000 and estimate to fix again $3,000. I always used Mobil one oil and changed it on time.

I concur with Sharon from MA. We purchased a 2001 F250 Superduty Diesel with 86,000 miles on it. We expected to have this vehicle for a long time. Unfortunately, the truck is rotting out. We are in the process of searching for auto body part replacements to the tune of thousands of dollars. Mechanical parts are beginning to rust also. Why can't Ford take responsibility for this? It's almost impossible to find a short bed for these trucks because of the rust issue. A good one will run us $3k minimum.

I bought a brand new 2011 F-250 Diesel and it has been on the tow truck 8 times. Today the turbo locked up and threw the serpentine belt. Ford has mentioned to me today that they can't do anything due to it having 137k miles. This motor is no better than the 6.0L and is a pile of crap!

I purchased a used 2003 f250 v10 4X4 from Downs Ford in Toms River as a 3rd vehicle. I test drove the vehicle around the block and it seemed fine. Two months went by (a few hundred miles later) and I experienced violent wobbling 3 times at speeds around 40 to 55 MPH. I talked with a friend to get his input (mechanic). He suggested to take it back to the dealer since it could be a slew of things. I took the vehicle to Downs and explained my issue. They test drove it and noticed the same problem. They changed the tranny fluid and rebalanced the rear tires at no charge and I was given a receipt for work performed. They also stated on the receipt, “Procedure 1 Drive for 500 miles to allow oil to lube the tranny.”

I bought a Ford 450 truck with the 6.0 engine that is also in the F350. The engine is defective and Ford sued the original engine maker for $452 million. Ford failed to replace the defective engine, it failed and it cost me $4000 for a partial replacement. So far, I am out of pocket for $10,000 plus in repairs and I had the extended warranty coverage. The Ford broke down 7 times in 3 years all requiring major and expensive repair - three radiators, a gas tank defective from paint peeling and leaking, four turbo charger blowouts due to defective connections and mount shift, one transmission replacement and engine rebuild due to a known defective crank shaft and now a leak costing $1000 for the latest repair.

I purchased my 2001 F250 in 2005. I traded in my 1999 F350 v10 for this truck due to the spark plug issue. During my first oil change on the F250, I noticed that the oil pan was very rusty. At that time, it concerned me so much that I sanded it down the best I could and painted it with high quality engine paint. This was in 2005. I painted it again in 2009.

Ford has been selling these trucks with full knowledge that there was something wrong with the oil cooling system. We took ours in with only 93,000 miles and complete maintenance records, for the 90,000-mile check-up and were informed that oil had leaked into the coolant and vice versa. The truck is now at the dealers and the tab so far is $7,500. How do they get away with selling a truck with faulty oil cooling systems in the first place especially since they turned around and sued Navistar for the same faulty parts and won. Why didn't they change it out when it was still under warranty since they knew there was a problem? What recourse is there now except to make a lot of noise? We do think we've found a class action suit in Florida.

I have always bought Ford trucks and never had any issues until I bought this diesel. I have replaced 4 EGR coolers, 2 oil coolers, 1 high pressure oil pump, 1 radiator (due to excessive pressure in the cooling system that loosened the crimps on the lower tank), 2 coolant reservoirs, 1 back pressure sensor, 1 turbo and 2 EGR valves. I vacation each year towing a 34ft 5th wheel weighing 12,000lbs and the rest of the year it doesn't tow. It has had only one successful round trip out of six attempts and always while I was towing. I'm going to write it off in favor of a Cummins. No more Ford diesels for me.

I am having failed injectors at 130,000 miles. Maintenance was done on recommended intervals. The injectors that were pulled had the inlet screen totally gone. This is a defect in the injector. I am very unhappy that Ford knows there are problems with these motors but will make them good. My wife and kids were left on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck.

I bought a used truck and about 6 weeks later, it broke down on the highway. My truck has been in the service department for 2 weeks but they don't have an answer yet for the repair they have in the back and for the truck having an overheating problem.

My 2006 Ford F-250 SD has 112,000 +/- miles and I was recently told by the dealer (Hansel Ford in Santa Rosa, CA) that I needed to completely replace the engine to the tune of $16,000. I tried calling the Ford Motor Company and they basically told me that since the truck is out of warranty, there is nothing they can do. I have done some research and found that this engine was defective from the beginning of its launch in 2003. Ford has successfully sued the maker of the engine (Navistar) for all of the maintenance issues incurred.

I called Ford. My SUV would stall out after it gets warm; it would not start till it gets cold. I had work done to the inner oil heat pump in the motor; it ran great for 4 days. Then when I was driving, it got hot, lost all power, stalls, and won’t start until it cools. I called Ford. Different parts of Ford Company said the truck was made wrong in the factory and is to be fixed under a recall.

2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT pickup - I've recently discovered a cross member supporting the pickup. The bed has rotted out and is jumping, moving around and going over bumps when turning. I bought this truck brand new in 2005. The paint around one wheel well is bubbling and breaking open, indicating a start of rot in the pickup bed. With only 79,000 original miles and 7 years, this shouldn't be happening. This truck has the electronic 4-wheel drive switch in the dashboard. It can go into 4-wheel without locking the hubs. This mechanism has now failed for the third time since I've owned the truck due to a supposed vacuum problem. The first time was with less than 36,000 miles on the truck so a dealer repaired under warranty.

I purchased a 2007 F350 in Nov. 2010 with 50,000 miles on it. Now with 78,000 miles, the transmission has gone. I will not advise anyone to purchase a F350 and I have learned my lesson (buy Chevrolet).

We have a 2009 Ford F250, which completely died as my husband was traveling on a major highway at 75mph with several big tracker trailers traveling beside him. Luckily, my husband was not pulling the 31-foot trailer he normally pulls to work. Luckily, he was not in a wreck trying to get his Ford Truck off the freeway when it died on him. I called Ford Motor Company and asked, "Why have you not sent a recall out for this, my husband could have got killed on the highway when his Ford truck died?" Ford Motor Company said all they could do was make a report of my complaint.

I have a 2005 F350. First, the brakes are bad with only 54,000 miles. Now, the fuel injection control module went bad. Like I said, it has 54,000 miles. Why isn’t there a recall on these? I have always owned Fords, but never again. What a hunk of **. Shame on you, Ford.

The wheel wells are rusting out on my husband's 2006 F350. I have been talking to numerous other owners; they also have the same problem. Also, I looked at many chat sites and other people have the same problem. Ford put foam between the sheets of metal and it retains moisture and it is not covered by Ford. After spending $60,000 for a truck, this is a rip off. I feel that Ford should repair this problem since it is a fault of theirs.

I bought a 2005 F350. Low oil pressure twice, EGR twice, then injector problems. The next was a blown head gasket that ruined the motor. When I called Ford customer service, it was a waste of my time. These people were already programmed what to say. I already have $14,000.00 in my cost plus now needs a motor. I just left the truck parked, it's cheaper not to drive than drive. You should normally have to back up what you sell or most of us do. What makes Ford any different?

2005 F350 alternator fire - I had driven to an out-of-town funeral, 180 miles, with four small children and when I began pulling in the driveway of my destination, I noted smoke coming from the engine. I yelled for help from my family and pulled children from the truck. It was also 9:00PM and could have left us stranded in the pines and caused a fire in the local forest had this not been in the driveway. The flames were approximately a foot high over the alternators. After extinguishing them, we noticed one of the alternators was not turning over. The truck F350 only had 36,000 miles when I bought it and now, when this occurred, only has 50,000. I was wondering if there has been any recalls? Thanks so much.

Ford 350 Turbo Diesel problems, with 60,000 miles on, with fuel injection, turbo, squeaky pulley problems. I had the problem to the end of my warranty and after, and Ford will not fix the problem because it's not under warranty. Until now, the same story: squeaky belt, smoke from turbo and fuel injection system. Ford prolongs the problem until warranty runs out. I see more and more Toyota trucks on the road. Can't wait to see Toyota build a dually.

Our 2011 F350 Super Duty 6.7 diesel pickup stalled after only 13,000 miles. The fuel was pouring out from the engine compartment. It had to be towed to the dealership. After fixing what was leaking, the truck still did not run right and we informed that there was water and rust in the fuel filters and that the injectors and fuel pump needed to be replaced and was not covered under warranty. This truck was properly maintained and only fueled at our shop along with 6 other diesel trucks which had/have no issues with water or rust. We had our tank tested and no water or rust was detected. The indicator light never came on to alert us about anything wrong with the truck.

This is the 3rd time my turbos have gone bad on my $60,000.00 plus 2008 Ford F250 Super Duty Diesel. Ford is not standing behind this constant issue. I have researched this issue and it has been reported by many consumers.

I bought my Ford F350 2005 in 2007. I don't even know where to begin. It's been in the shop since. I have put about 20,000 dollars into the truck for repairs. I tried to file a lawsuit and was turned down. I'm ready to get a personal lawyer to go after Ford. With Ford not fixing their mistakes, I don't think I or anyone I know will ever be buying trucks from Ford again. They need to fix this problem with the truck's engines so that they don't lose customers like us. Not at all happy with Ford!

2005 F250 4x4 Ext-Cab Short Bed 5.4 Gas. I would like to know what Ford is doing about the endless complaints about the death wobble on the Super Duty Trucks? Also, under the bed is rotting. Truck is well taken care of and only has 33,257 miles on it! I really like my Ford but I think the rust should not be that bad, and they should pay to have the death wobble fixed!

2005 F-350 6.0 Diesel - I was driving through a mountain pass and the truck began blowing grey smoke and lost all power. Luckily, I was going downhill so I was able to make it to the bottom, where it finally started running again. I made it home and had a mechanic look at it. I had to have the fuel injector control module replaced at a cost of $800.00. The mechanic stated this would only be the beginning of the problems with the 6.0.

While traveling in Florida, recently my 2005 Ford F-350 (60,118 miles) diesel engine truck started blowing black and white smoke from the exhaust pipe. The local Ford dealership made the repairs (replaced EGR value, oil and EGR cooler) at a cost of $2,974. This is the latest in the growing number of mechanical issues with this vehicle, which is turning out to be the most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned. I filed a claim with Ford Motor which was promptly denied. I try to keep cool on these types of matters. However, this is getting to be very frustrating. Ford evidently has decided their customers are not worthy of special consideration even when they acknowledge this 6.0 engine has ongoing issues.

I bought an '04 Ford F-350 Harley Edition about a year ago. It had 99500 on the odometer. Immediately, I had it back in for an injector and a brake caliper. Now I found out the 4wd doesn't work and another caliper is shot and 4 injectors are bad. I wanted so badly to trade it but I can't get anything for it. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I also purchased a $2000 extended warranty that doesn't cover any of the repairs either. As far as I am concerned, Ford can go out of business if they won't help their customers out when they know they have issues with these trucks!

I own a 2003 Ford F350. About a year after we bought it, we started having trouble with it backfiring and belching black smoke. We took it in to Archie Cochran (where we bought it) at least 3 times (that I know of, because my husband might have taken it in) for that to be taken care of. I have had it in here 3 times for the problem and the last time which was last week. They changed out a sensor and the turbo. I asked them several times was the problem taken care of and I was assured that it was and that the truck would pull anything anywhere. Well, this morning I took it to the nursery to get some plants and on the way back, going uphill on a small hill at 45 mph, it started again. The only thing in the truck was me, my mom and two plants. I was not pulling anything. So by this, I know it will not "pull anything anywhere."

My 2008 F350 developed a loud noise in the rear end. I took it to a Ford dealership, who informed me that the calipers in the rear were sticking and had to be replaced. I had bought the truck used from another Ford dealership, who claimed to have gone over the truck extensively. It was a one owner trade-in.

My 2008 F-350 6.4 diesel truck, stopped running and left my wife sitting on the side of the road with a trailer full of horses.This truck has been in the shop 10 times for almost the same thing. I notified Ford that the engine light will not go out. So now the motor is bad and they want to short block the motor for $12,000 out of my pocket. They said there is nothing they can do because it has 106,000 miles on it. But I had just had it in the shop at 98800 miles and they said that it was fixed. Now we paid $46,800 for a truck that the motor is in a box, in the bed of the truck. It's worth nothing. But the dealer wants to sell me a new truck.

Diesel engine problems with my 2004 F-350: First, the turbo went while still under warranty. Then the EGR cooler was replaced under warranty. The warranty ran out for time but still well under mileage. I took the truck to Florida on the way back to MA. The EGR cooler blew in S.C. I drove back to MA and sent the truck by ramp truck to the dealer. It's $4700.00 to repair. I decided to have small diesel shop repair and bypassed the EGR system.

Transmission in my Ford truck went out at 55,000 miles. My ford dealer said, "Sorry, luck of the draw!"

2002 Ford f350 - My Ford truck has a problem with spark plugs jumping out of the head. I had them helicoiled and everything was okay for now. When you hit a pot hole on the highway, front end shakes terribly. Everything is tight in front end, just big problem with the Ford. It's time to go back to Chevy. My last Chevy truck went 250,000 miles with no problems like this.

I have 2006 Ford250. At 85,000 miles, dealer kept all services at proper times. Everything that is on this forum; EGR vfuel injectors gear box and fuel pump. We have spent at least $9,500.00 on this truck and still having problems. They should not be allowed to get away with this! I’m very angry and Ford says I have to deal with the dealer, they are independent. Who made the ** truck? Also, air bags didn’t work for 3 months before they got a clock spring for it. Power steering gear box and like I said above all of my maintenance has been kept up and at Ford only! I have a friend with problems too, 2005 6.0 35,000 miles issues not covered.

I had a brand new F250 2002. After 60,000 miles, front end fell apart almost killing me after hitting a small bump in the road. It cost $800.00 to repair tie rod ends and ball joints. Also at 60,000 miles, a spark plug blew out of the insert. It needed to be rethread, but was under warranty. It totally looked like crap after only 5 years. It rusted out everywhere, right though the metal.

F250 Spark Plug Defect - I own a 2000 F250 SD Triton V10. In 2007 the number 9 spark plug ejected while driving, leaving me and my kids stranded on the road. I towed it to the local Ford dealership who gave me an estimate of $3800 to replace the heads or $450 to put the kit in it. I had the spark plug and wires all replaced and a year later, the number 9 blew. It has been a yard ornament ever since because I can not afford to continue to pay for the $450 kit, the $3800 new heads (that may eventually blow out the back of the engine), nor the $5300 engine. This is the best Ford has to offer?

My transmission is sitting in the front yard out of truck that I did myself. My truck only has 71,000 miles on it. It is junk. I have joined a law firm to try to handle this piece of junk. I am still paying on it. Also, I replaced the injectors with no help from Ford. I am also calling the Attorney General. Take on a ride by sitting in the middle of my yard. It is a piece of junk. I am also taking pictures and putting in all papers that Ford has robbed a lot of people on these trucks. You will be hearing more. I own my own trucking business and have put a word out. How would you like to still owe money on a truck sitting on your front lawn and won’t move?

The truck (Ford 1995 F350 7.3 Turbo) was purchased with an extended 7-year unconditional bumper-to-bumper warranty. Within the first 3 years, 3 glow plugs, 7 glow plug relays, 1 fender light (red) was broken. Apparently the unconditional warranty covers the pistons and the block only. I had a fuel leak, I went back to Ford and was quoted $5000 for a 9-hour labor (quote cost me $170 plus taxes of $200). I changed the mechanical fuel pump ($150) and my labor was 1.5 hours. The fuel was still leaking. My truck started shutting off when partially warm, Ford quoted $18000.

Engine Failure: I bought a 2008 F350 SuperDuty in October of 2007. At 500 miles, the steering gear went out and again at 50,000 miles. The radiator went out at 12,000, 20,000 and at 75,000 miles. At 96,000 the turbo went out and again at 120,000 miles. The truck also began smoking periodically at 90,000 miles and Ford could just not figure out what the problem was till the warranty ran out, and at 104,000 miles, they told me that the EGR coolers had gone out and I was looking at $4,200 to repair. Ford was willing to cooperate with $900, but that I also needed to replace the oil cooler.

On January 28, 2012, my husband took our truck in to get the fuel filters changed. I dropped my husband off to pick up the truck and he hardly made it home. He looked under the hood and there was diesel all over the motor. It had stalled twice coming up the hill.

I have an '06 Ford F350 Crew Cab 6.0 4x4. The truck has always seemed to have a problem when switching from 4wd back to 2wd. Ford Dealer (Rockwall, TX) basically said, if it does not switch back to 2wd to put it in reverse, drive backwards and tap the brakes a few times... And up until this past weekend, this has worked, still not sure why I should have to do this just to get it back into 2wd, but did it anyway. So this weekend, as I pulled out of my gate onto the shoulder to lock the gate, I noticed that the ground was still moist from the previous days rain. Not wanting to get stuck on the shoulder, I simply put the truck in 4x4 high on the dash selector, put it in drive and pulled back out onto the road. Once on the road, I put the truck in N and flipped the selector back to 2wd, but the light indicator still read 4x4. So I did the normal routine of backing up, tapping brakes and going back to Drive, but it would not kick out of 4x4 high.

When I purchased my truck, with me being its second owner, the dealer said the EGR and oil cooler had already been replaced, and it would not have the prone problems. I did not know much about that 5 years ago. It looks like now, every truck has this problem. I just had the truck in at the Ford dealership with an estimate of $4,000.00 to fix. They say it is normal for this to happen, but the dealer will offer you Ford replacement parts, but say it could happen again, then after market parts from bulletproof, if you don't want it to happen again.

I asked Ford Motor company to replace the truck due to engine problems, and they refused. I will look into a class action lawsuit.

2004 F-350 traded at 53,000 and after 6 years of fighting with Ford. I had a "normal" oil leak from day one that could not be resolved, EGR, injector, high pressure fuel pump failure, etc. Ford is not going to help you no matter what consumer agency you report them to. The only option is to sue. I joined the class action lawsuit with **. Search for 6.0 F350. Also, I recently found this guy on YouTube **. This guy seems to know a lot about these trucks and how to fix them permanently; it may be worth checking out if you can not trade or sell the truck. There are just too many of these trucks that are lemons and Ford is not going to compensate consumers until the courts make them. I even tried to get the local media involved without success.

First, it was the traction control was told traction control could not be turned off. I make my living in the bush, I've been stuck a few times after that I parked it and used my Dodge. Winter sucked get stuck in 4 inches of snow on flat ground. I went to 3 different dealers and they said that's the nature of the beast. It's not a beast if it can't go off the road. Finally, the 4 dealer fixed it Jan. 5 and also mentioned about the high idle, not working right that part is still like that.

I bought a brand new 2007 F450 Super Duty for my business. About 15,000 miles into using the truck, it began to sputter and had no power. I took the P.O.S. to a Ford Dealer (Cavalier Ford) the same place I bought the P.O.S. The service dept. said it would take a couple of days to find out what was wrong. A couple of days later, the dealership called and said the "liner" in the fuel tank had dissolved and corrupted the fuel system.

I have a 2001 F-250 Super Duty. I understand that I live in the northeast, but after 50 thousand miles, the decay of rust was so bad that I have spent thousands of dollars trying to cope with it. It's not the body rust I am worried about; it's the extreme rust on the frame. This is a truck which sole purpose was for pulling trailers, working a farm, and for heavy duty applications. The truck was also garaged part time.

2005 F-350 6.0 li diesel 4x4 Harley Edt. has had a lot of problems with the breaks. Front and back will ride when a trailer is hooked up. They have got so hot I can't put my hands on the rims. The dealership replaced my back rotors and calipers for $800.00 just 500 km outside of warranty. Great. I had my front rotor break in half. FICM went last February. Now it has gone again, a year later and another $900.00 bill. Back up sensors have failed. Wrench light has come on and off by itself. I had to get the back bumper repainted after 2 years. Now there is more rust than paint and just barley 15 mpg. And if could go on. Don’t think I’ll buy a Ford again.

I have a 2010 f-250 super-duty 6.4 diesel at 1,600 miles, the engine needed to be replaced with a long block and after 26,000 miles 4 injectors went bad and filled the engine with fuel. Ford wanted the dealer to rip the engine down from the turbo to the high pressure fuel pump.The dealer, Smith motor in Washington, NJ said there should be no problem.
