FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On or around July 14, 2025, my truck failed to start. The engine would turn over but would not fire. My vehicle was at home and had been driven within the past day before this incident. On July 14, 2025, I had my vehicle towed to Burns Ford of York for a diagnosis. Upon inspection, the Ford technician determined that the high-pressure fuel pump was damaged, causing metal to contaminate the fuel system. At the time of this failure, my odometer had 67,452 miles. A "fuel system replacement" kit and element were ordered - Ford parts #s PC3Z-9N184C & LC3Z-9B246B. As explained to me, the entire fuel system and components had to be replaced because the high-pressure fuel pump "exploded." Knowing there is an active recall on the fuel system (Campaign 24S78/24V957) a request was made to Ford to cover the repair costs since the active recall dealt with a known issue of aged biodiesel causing issues, including a failure to start, which I experienced. Ford failed to approve the repair costs, causing a total expense around $17,000, with approximately $7,000 being out of pocket after my extended warranty company paid the remaining balance. The issue is that there was no intentional direct cause for the fuel pump to fail and given it did so with an active recall on the fuel system and with only 67,000 miles I believe the active recall is associated with my failure and should be on Ford to cover repairs and acknowledge a permanent fix.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
100k miles and the high pressure fuel pump is failed. Created small metal particles that got into fuel lines. Everything needs to be replaced. There’s a recall on over 80k trucks with the same issue. Local ford said this is the same issue as all the recalls but because we don’t have the recall on our VIN, we have to pay $20k for replacement.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The contact owns a 1994 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while renewing the registration, the contact was informed of an open, unrepaired recall associated with the VIN. The unrepaired open recall was NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V399000 (Vehicle Speed Control). The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer declined to perform the recall repair because the VIN was not in the Manufacturer’s Database. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The manufacturer located the VIN information in the database and the contact was referred to the dealer for assistance. The contact had not experienced a failure.

ENGINE
Engine making heavy ticking noise from front of engine because of a cracked oil pump gear and the front main seal is now weeping oil. Ford is aware of this known issue as a TSB. Afraid to drive truck because I normally haul a large travel trailer into the mountains and the technician said the oil pressure could drop causing the motor to seize up.

POWER TRAIN
Slight vibration at highway speed accompanied by faint grinding noise. Ford installed front auto locker to only one front wheel and a dummy full time locker to right front wheel in non trimmer 2024 f250 and f350s. They know the problem because they issued a tsb 52423 but do not contact truck owners of issue. Having only one locker makes the right side front axel spin at highway speeds and cause noise, vibration and unequal drag on the two front wheels causing the vehicle to drift to the right. Ford knows this, as evident by them going back to two locking auto hubs on 2025 models. My bigger concern is what happens in 100k k miles when the front differential being warn out by the highway speeds fails and locks up the front differential and suddenly locks the front right wheel and potentially sends the 7000 lb vehicle in an uncontrollable right turn. I am currently working with walker Ford to correct this issue with my truck. In my opion, this is a huge safety issue because Ford is aware of this problem but is not notifying owners of the issue with an official recall. Needed fix, replace right dummy locker hub with functional hub like the left side ( part number HC3Z3B396A $260), instal replacement volume line (part number HC3Z3C124B $51) if said truck does not already have one, and finally install 6 in vacume line (part number HC323C125C $6) to the front right hub. In my opion, Ford should be held fully liable for the human safety implications down the road if they continue to ignore this proplem.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Vehicle shuts off while traveling down the highway with no warning. I was able to not panic as this happened on interstate hwy while in middle lane was able to shift to neutral and restart vehicle shift back in drive and go on. The potential for a much worse result was huge I have to imagine a lot of drivers may not think of what I did and allowed the vehicle to come to a stop on the highway creating an obvious hazard

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On July 31st, I was driving my 2020 F-250 in town, traveling approximately six miles from one location to another. Upon arriving at my destination, I noticed smoke coming from under the engine bay. When I opened the hood, I discovered diesel fuel had leaked throughout the engine compartment. I immediately contacted my local dealership and brought the truck in for inspection. I was informed that the fuel filter was cracked. After doing some research, I learned that this appears to be a common issue with similar models, and in some reported cases, it has even led to vehicle fires. Fortunately, this did not occur while I was driving a longer distance, which could have put me and my family at serious risk. I’m raising this concern in hopes of further investigation and a resolution, given the potential safety implications.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Parked at gas station, after fueling attempted to start with key and engine started but electrical systems did not register that vehicle had started. Turned engine off but engine continued running. Additional attempts to start vehicle made no difference -- engine continued running but vehicle could not be shifted out of Park. Called dealer and was advised to pull fuel pump fuse to stop engine. Towed to dealer and dealer determined that water had indruded into battery junction box and junction box needed to be replaced at owner expense. Ford Technical Service Bulletin 20-2298

SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
My f250 experiences what is known as death wobble when driving over 50mph and hitting bumps. It's been happening much more frequently as of late. Only way to stop it from wobbling is getting over to the shoulder and slow down to approximately 40-45.
