POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
RE: 2015 F250 SOLD TO [XXX] VIN #[XXX] A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2015 F250 DIESEL, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING WRONG. WHEN TRAVELING AT A CONSTANT SPEED, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO KNOCK LOUDLY AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE. AFTER TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND COASTING FOR A SHORT PERIOD (THERE IS NO POWER TO ACCELERATE DURING THIS TIME), THE TRUCK SEEMED TO FUNCTION NORMAL AGAIN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES ON THE DASH. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT; LASTING LONGER AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE INTERRUPTS FLOW OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I HELD UP TRAFFIC GOING UP MS RIVER BRIDGE, AND THIS PAST INCIDENT LASTED FOR A 15 MILE STRETCH. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE....... INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL INSTANCES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN 60-70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK GOES INTO REGEN MODE I GET A LOUD VALVE CLATTER AND A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
EXHAUST REGENERATION CAUSES ENGINE SHAKE AND LOSS OF POWER. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN TOWING UPHILL AND A SEMI ALMOST TOOK OUT THE BACK OF MY TRAILER. FORD INDICATES THIS IS NORMAL, HOWEVER, IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN NEW. IT OCCURRED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 6,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE DEALER INDICATED THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE, SO I DON'T BELIEVE "NORMAL" APPLIES HERE. IF THIS IS "NORMAL," THEN FORD ENGINEERS NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
EXHAUST REGION CAUSED EXTREME ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN TOWING UP HILL AND PASSING A SEMI. THIS CAUSED THE SEMI TO ALMOST HIT THE BACK OF MY TRAILER. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR WITH EVERY EXHAUST REGENERATION ON THE 6.7 POWERSTROKE DIESEL.

AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE AND LOSE POWER. THE ISSUE OCCURS DURING DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS AND HAS HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS TOLD THERE WOULDN'T BE A FIX UNTIL 3/1/2016. IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE PCM.

ENGINE
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING A REGENERATION, AND YOU ARE GOING UP AN INCLINE, THE ENGINE CAN SHAKE AND VALVE KNOCKING CAN BE VIOLENT ACCOMPANIED BY A LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER. THE FIRST VIOLENT INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED WAS GOING UP A NARROW MOUNTAIN ROAD AND FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AND UNWILLING TO SPEND ENOUGH TIME TO WITNESS THE ISSUE THEMSELVES. THE LOSS OF POWER OCCURS UNEXPECTEDLY AND COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE POWER WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHICH IS UNSAFE OR CAUSE THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU TO REAR END YOUR VEHICLE WHEN THE POWER LOSS OCCURS GOING UP HILL.

THE VEHICLE LOST 15 MPH IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE TOWING AN RV. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT A MINUTE. THEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST EVENT. THE LAST OCCURANCE WAS ON AUGUST 16TH. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO FORD SERVICE FOR AN EVULATION.

ENGINE
WHEN THE CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER MESSAGE COMES ON, THE TRUCK RUNS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND THE ENGINE GETS A VIOLENT SHAKE WITH LOSS OF POWER. IT ALSO HAS A LOUD PINGING SOUND. THIS LASTS FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY WITH THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN TWO DEALERS. BOTH STATE THIS IS NOT NORMAL BUT FORD HAS INDICATED IT IS AND WILL NOT AUTHORIZE WORK UNTIL SOMETHING BREAKS. THE ODD PART IS THAT THE COMPUTER READS THAT ALL IS OK. THE DEALER STATES ALL IS NOT OK BUT THE ISSUE IS SOMETHING THE COMPUTER ISN'T TRACKING???

WHEELS
FORD OFFERS A 20 INCH TIRE & WHEEL UPGRADE ON 4X4 LARIAT TRIM (AND OTHERS) BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SPARE TIRE IN THE UPGRADE. SPARE TIRE REMAINS AN 18 INCH WITH THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER ABOUT 1 INCH SMALLER THAN THE ROAD TIRES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ADEQUATE 4X4 PERFORMANCE, LOADED HANDLING, RIDE AND STEERING SECURITY. THIS IS A LARGER ISSUE FOR 4X4 VEHICLES THAN IT IS FOR PASSENGER CARS. FORD ADVERTISES A "CONVENTIONAL SPARE" AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT WHICH IS IN FACT SIZED THE SAME AS THE ROAD WHEELS. IN THE SHOWROOM, FORD HIDES THE FACT THAT "UPGRADING" TO 20 INCH WHEELS DOWNGRADES VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AND OPERATOR SAFETY AND SECURITY IN COMPARISON TO THE BASE VEHICLE. THEY DON'T EVEN OFFER TO UPGRADE THE SPARE FOR A CHARGE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME FOR THE F150 TRUCKS ALSO.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME WE TOOK THE 2015 DIESEL TRUCK TO THE DEALER. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR TESTERS AND NO FINDING. OUR TRUCK SHOOK, SPUDDERED AND HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND (CLICKING). THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED SUDDENLY. IT IS CONTINUEING. THE DEALER ASSURES US THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED WHEN THEY CAN SEE THE PROBLEM ON THEIR TESTERS. THEY ALSO INFORMED US THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANY DIRECTIIVES FROM HIGHER UP ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. DIESELS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPER. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD DIESEL AND I'M NOT FEELING ANY LOVE. MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE IS RUNNING SUPER.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRAVELLING IN MORNING RUSH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IN AUSTIN, TEXAS I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I APPLIED CONSIDERABLE BRAKE PRESSURE. I CAME WITHIN 6 INCHES OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. I WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 MPH AT THE TIME. ON THE RETURN TRIP IN THE EVENING RUSH HOUR IT WAS ALSO STOP AND GO. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO PUT AS MUCH BRAKE PRESSURE AS I COULD TO SLOW THE TRUCK (DOING 1 MPH OR LESS). I STILL TAPPED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. AT THE TIME I WAS TRYING TO STOP THE TRUCK, I HEARD THE ENGINE RPM REV UP AND A POPPING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK UP ON THE ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE RUNNING OUT OF GAS, SURGED, SPUTTER, SURGE SPUTTERED THEN QUIT RUNNING. I HAD 1/2 A TANK. HAD TO COST THE TRUCK A CROSSED SPEEDING TRAFFIC LANES AND CAME TO A STOP ON AN OVER PASS. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER FINDINGS WERE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND CONTROLLER. THE DEALER STATED WHEN THEY ENTER THE CHECK ENGINE CODE (P0627) INTO THEIR WAN, THEY SHORTLY HAD A CALL FROM FORD ENGINEERING WANTING THE PARTS RETURNED TO THEM AND WITH INSTRUCTIONS NOT TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER. IT SEEMS THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAD BEEN FLAGGED IN THEIR NETWORK BY FORD ENGINEERING. IT SEEMS THIS ISSUE WAS UNKNOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP. IT BOTHERS ME GREATLY THAT THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN BY FORD ENGINEERING BUT THE DEALERS ARE SELLING NEW TRUCKS WITH THIS KNOWN DEFECT. THE NEW TRUCK HAS SAT AT THE DEALER FOR THREE WEEKS BECAUSE THE CONTROLLER PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR
