STEERING, WHEELS
THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH OUR TRUCKS, IT'S A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM THAT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. IN A 10 MILE RIDE IT WOULD HAPPEN 3-4X AT 70 TO 75MPH HITTING THE SLIGHTEST BUMP, THE TRUCK WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE. I WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 20 MPH FOR IT TO STOP. VERY DIFFICULT ON A HIGHWAY, *BF

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK ON HIGHWAY AT 70-75MPH, THE TRUCK HITS A SMALL BUMP AND GOES INTO AN EXTREME DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IT BACK UNDER CONTROL. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE NIGHT OF DRIVING. UPON RESEARCH, IT IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG FORD SUPER DUTIES AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT IS NOT SAFE WHATSOEVER. THE TRUCK IS COMPLETELY STOCK WITH 47,000 MILES. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T67905_DS972988

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING I HIT A BUMP THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO START TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. I PUT ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BUT IT CONTINUED TO WOBBLE UNTIL I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. IT NEARLY CAUSED A ACCIDENT. SCARED ME TO DEATH. I KNOW OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SAME PROBLEM W/ THE DEF HEATING UNIT AS ON EARLIER/SIMILAR F-SERIES TRUCKS THAT HAVE COMPELLED FORD TO ISSUE EXTENDED WARRANTY (SEE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 18M01) -- A DTC208A ERROR COMES UP, INDICATING FAILURE IN THE DEF SENDER/HEATER. NOT CLEAR WHY FORD IS OMITTING THE 2015 F350 POWERSTROKES WHEN THEY'RE USING THE SAME PART AND BUILT IN THE SAME FACTORY AS THE MODELS THAT HAVE HAD THE WARRANTY EXTENDED.

VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW DAYS AND THE DRIVER WAS STARTING THE VEHICLE. UPON STARTING, THE DRIVER NOTICED FLAMES AND SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD IMMEDIATELY.

DRIVER THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, POPPED THE HOOD RELEASE, AND SPRAYED 2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS UNDER THE HOOD AND ON THE MOTOR EXTINGUISHING THE FLAMES. THEN 911 WAS CALLED.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
ON MY 2115 FORD F 350 POWERSTROKE DIESEL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DE RATED THE POWER. I READ THE CEL CODE AND ITS PB20A WHICH IS A REDACTANT HEATER PERFORMANCE FAILURE. THIS PROBLEM IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR ALL MODELS 2011-14, F250-F 550 AND 2015 F450, F550 ONLY. FORD ISN'T COVERING THE F250 OF F350 IN THE 2015 YEARS. MY TRUCK MEETS THE DATE AND MANUFACTURING PLANT CRITERIA AND IT IS NO DRIVABLE BECAUSE OF THIS EMISSIONS CONTROL PART FAILURE. THE REDACDANT HEATER KEEPS THE DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID FROM FREEZING AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE UN DRIVABLE WHEN IT FALIS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING OUT OF STATE (NY) WHEN AN ALERT STATED "LOW FUEL PRESSURE) AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 5-10 MPH WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. UPON EXITING, THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING LEAVING ME AND MY FAMILY STRANDED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP WHICH INFORMED ME THE BOSCH HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT DELIVERING THE REQUIRED PRESSURE (/,000 PSI). UPON CONTACTING THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, I WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED WARRANTY MILES (100,000/129,239) AND THE COST OF THE PUMP WAS $1,245 WITH EXCHANGE PRIOR TO LABOR CHARGES. IN ALL, FORD DEALER WANTS NEARLY $5,000 TO REPAIR THE PUMP WHICH WAS POORLY DESIGNED.

MILLER FORD LINCOLN DRAPER (11442 LONE PEAK PKWY, DRAPER, UT 84020, 801-590-0561) WHERE A FEW UNKNOWN PARTS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. SINCE THE INITIAL REPAIR, THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I OWN A 2015 FORD F-350SD WITH APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES THAT I BOUGHT FROM THE FORD DEALER IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018. SO, I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THE TRUCK A YEAR YET. ON JULY 12, 2019 I WAS DRIVING DOWN I15 HEADED TO A CAMPING TRIP. ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN A MESSAGE SAYING REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND MY TRUCK WENT FROM 70MPH TO 5MPH AND JUST BARELY GOT ME OFF THE INTERSTATE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AND SAID THERE'S METAL THROUGHOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM, THE HPFP IS GOING BAD AND WEARING OUT, THERE IS ALSO RUST AND WATER IN THE FUEL RAIL. IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THE BILL WILL BE A LITTLE OVER $11,000. IN DECEMBER RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, I TOOK IT INTO THE FORD DEALER AND HAD THEM FULLY SERVICE THE TRUCK, CHECK THE OIL, CHANGE BOTH FUEL FILTERS, ETC. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS TO SHOW FORD THAT I HAVE MAINTAINED THE TRUCK. I HAVE FULLY MAINTAINED THE TRUCK AND HAVE DRAINED THE WATER SEPARATOR MONTHLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING ON MY PART TO MAKE SURE THE TRUCK IS WELL CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED. I HAVE NOW BEEN FIGHTING WITH FORD CORPORATE FOR 5 WEEKS NOW AND THEY ARE SAYING THIS ISSUE ISN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY. IT'S A SHAME THAT YOU BUY A TRUCK FROM THE FORD DEALER WITH A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY AND NOW FORD IS CLAIMING THAT THIS ISSUE ISN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN FAULTY FUEL PUMP THAT WEARS OUT PREMATURELY AND IS COSTING CONSUMERS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR WARRANTY! THIS IS A SHAME AND RIDICULOUS ON FORDS END!

STEERING, SUSPENSION
2015 F350 4X4 6.7 WE TOW A 12K TRAILER GOOSENECK. THIS PROBLEM OCCURES LOADED AND UNLOADED. ANY BUMP OVER 50 MPH ON THE DRIVER TIRE WILL CAUSE A VIOLENT SHAKE THAT WILL PERSIST THOUGH ACCELERATION STEERING INPUTS AND BRAKING, SOFT OR HARD. ONLY SLOWING TO BELOW 45 SOMETIMES 35 WILL STOP THE SHAKING. DURING THE SHAKE STEERING IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE, AND ATTPETING TO KEEP STRAIGHT RESULTED IN TWISTING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THUS FAR WE HAVE REPLACED STEERING STABALIZER. TRACK BAR, AND ASSOSIATED BUSHING AND BALL JOINT, TIRES, MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS, SWAY BAR LINKS, BALLJOINTS, SHOCKS. EACH REPAIR MAKES THE PROBLEM SEEMINGLY BETTER FOR A TIME BUT WITHIN A WEEK IT RETURNS. WE ARE A DANGER ON THE ROAD AND HAVE SENSE STOPPED DRIVING UNTIL A HARD RESOLUTION IS FOUND.

ENGINE
THIS VEHICLE HAS 42,188 MILES TO DATE, AND HAS BEEN DOWN FOR OVER 8 WEEKS DUE TO SENSOR PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE EGR AND DEF SYSTEM. 4 TEMPERATURE SENSORS WERE INITIALLY REPLACED, AND THEN THE PARTICULATE SENSOR SHOWED A FAULT. THAT SENSOR WAS $146.55! AS OF TODAY, THAT SENSOR IS BAD AGAIN AND FORD STATES THERE IS A UPDATED ONE FOR $200.99! THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY RUNS OUT AS SOON AS YOU DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT! I HAVE SPENT NEARLY $800.00, AND THIS VEHICLE SITS, AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS IT IN LIMP MODE. THIS VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED IN PERFECT CONDITION. IF THE EPA IS GOING TO REQUIRE THESE EMISSION STANDARDS, THEN VEHICLE MANUFACTURES SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THESE COSTLY REPAIRS! I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE DELETE KITS TO ELIMINATE THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER THEY VOID THE WARRANTY AND IT IS UNLAWFUL TO DO SO. I CAN SEE WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS. FRANKLY, I DONT SEE THE POINT IN A "HANDFUL" OF US TRYING TO KEEP OURS RUNNING TO CODE, WHILE OTHERS ARE RIPPING THIS POLLUTION STUFF OFF. I DON;T SEE THE POINT. HOWEVER I AM TOTALLYL FRUSTRATED AT A $70,000.00 PICKUP THAT REMAINS BROKE DOWN. YOU CAN'T EVEN TRADE THEM OFF IF THEY ARE HAVING DEF ISSUES. I READ QUITE OFTEN ABOUT STATE, COUNTY AND CITY VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AND THAT KEEPS THEM OFF THE ROAD FOR SNOW PLOWING AND A HOST OF OTHER DUTIES. THIS ISSUE NEEDS ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED. TALK ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE: DRIVING HOME IN THE DARK AND THIS THING DECIDES TO LIMP OFF THE ROAD. ALWAYS A WEEKEND OR AFTER HOURS. AND SERVICE SHOPS ARE SO FAR BEHIND IT TAKES WEEKS TO GET IN. THIS IS OUTLANDISH THAT THE US IS TRYING TO REDUCE EMISSIONS WHILE THE REST OF THE PLANET COULD CARE LESS. WHAT IS THE POINT? I AM A REASONABLE PERSON, BUT I DO NOT SEE THE POINT. CLUE ME IN PLEASE.
