FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK 3 MONTHS AGO, AND EXACTLY FOUR DAYS FROM THE PURCHASE DATE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING, I BOUGHT A WARRANTY FROM DEALER, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING AND THEY TOOK THE ENGINE LIGHT THAT WAS ON OFF. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER THE TRUCK STARTED HESITATING SO I TOOK IT IN FOR A SERVICE AND OIL CHANGE AND HAD THE FUEL FILTER CHANGED TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE ISSUE, IT ONLY HELP FOR A SHORT PERIOD, WHEN I WAS TRAVELING IN ALABAMA, THE HOSE BLEW OFF AND BLACK SMOKE CAN OUT THE BACK AND I BARELY WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, SEVERAL MECHANICS LOOKED AT IT AND NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE NO CODES SHOWED UP. BOUGHT A HOSE AND DEALERSHIP IN ALABAMA PUT IT ON, CONTINUED MY TRIP, ANOTHER THREE DAYS PASSED BY AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO JERK AND HESITATE WHEN I WAS ON A STEEP HILL, I PUT IT IN A LOWER GEAR BUT NOTHING HELPED I WENT TO A DIESEL EXPERT AND IT TOOK HIM TWO DAY OF EXAMINING THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM , THERE WAS METAL SHAVINGS IN THE SYSTEM AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM WAS BREAKING DOWN, I JUST SPENT 50,000 DOLLARS ON THIS TRUCK AND WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST 8500.00 TO TRY TO FIX, THE 6.7 POWER STROKE FUEL SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE, A FORD F 250 SHOULD LAST SHOULD NOT BREAK DOWN LIKE THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BAD WITH THIS TRUCK, DEALERS ARE KNOWING THESE TRUCKS HAVE PROBLEMS AND ARE STILL SELLING THEM. THEY ARE CAMOUFLAGING THE PROBLEM WITH COMPUTER TUNING AND SHUTTING OFF THE EMISSION SYSTEM DEF, THESE ITEMS ARE BEING DELETED AND NO ONE IS TELLING US CONSUMERS UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE. I WAS DRIVING AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WHEN MY TRUCK BASICALLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND STARTED TO JERK BACK AND FORTH

SUSPENSION
7/2018 DRIVING AT 50 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'S A DEATH WOBBLE, THEY STATED THEY REPAIRED IT AND IT ONLY LASTED ABOUT 1 MONTH! HERE I AM IN 7/2019 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, I CAN NOT DRIVE MY $65K TRUCK ABOVE 40 MPH WITHOUT THIS ENTIRE TRUCK VIOLENTLY SHAKING. VERY DISAPPOINTED AS MY FAMILY IS A FORD FAMILY FOR 3 GENERATIONS AND FORDS WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK I CAN'T DRIVE MAKING $1,000/MONTH PAYMENTS ON IT. CAN'T TRADE IT IN DUE TO THE FACT I CAN'T AFFORD IT. IT'S VERY TERRIBLE THAT I HAVE FEAR AND ANXIETY WITH IT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL IN THIS TRUCK, PEOPLE STOP AND STARE WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHICH IS DAILY. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH ME FORD!

STEERING
AT 145,000 MILES, A STEERING ISSUE DEVELOPED. 3 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, AT A 4-WAY STOP, I TURN RIGHT TO GO TO WORK. THE STEERING WHEEL GETS "STUCK" AND IS HARD TO TURN BACK TO THE LEFT TO CENTER THE F250 IN MY LANE. 1 MILE LATER, ANOTHER RIGHT TURN, AND THE PROBLEM BECOMES SCARY. THE WHEEL IS STIFF TO TURN TO THE LEFT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE TRUCK ZOOM TO THE LEFT, I STEER RIGHT AND IT IS SLOW AND STIFF AND THEN RESPONDS WITHOUT WARNING ZIPPING ME TO THE RIGHT. I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AT THIS POINT, DOING 35MPH WAITING FOR THE PROBLEM TO CLEAR UP. AT FIRST, THE PROBLEM CLEARED UP WITHIN A MILE, BUT TODAY IT TOOK 5 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS THEN GONE FOR THE REST OF MY 30 MILE TRIP TO WORK. SAME THING, SAME PLACE EVERYDAY. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK. A MILE AWAY FROM THE PARKING SPACE I HAVE THE FIRST SYMPTOM AND THEN ALL HELL BRAKES LOOSE ON THE NEXT TURN. CRAZY STEERING FOR A FEW MILES AND THEN SMOOTH SAILING THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. PLANNING ON REPLACING THE STEERING GEARBOX AND POWER STEERING PUMP THIS WEEKEND.

ENGINE
EGR AND EGR COOLER FAILED AT 21,000 MILES. DEALER FIXED UNDER WARRANTY 3/22/16. SAME PARTS HAVE FAILED AGAIN AT 46,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SEARCHING THE WEB SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON REPEAT FAILURE FOR THE 6.7 DIESEL AND COSTS $2,000 FOR REPAIR. ENGINE TROUBLE CODE IS P0401. THE PARTS OR DESIGN MUST BE DEFECTIVE AS THEY ONLY LAST FOR ABOUT 20,000 MILES.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WE HAVE A 2010 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY DIESLE WITH APPROX 105K MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE CITY HIGHWAY (ROUTE 15 SOUTH IN WILLIAMSPORT, PA) AT APPROXIMATELY 64 MPH I WAS ON A BRIDGE THAT THE ROAD TURNED SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT TO MERGE INTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY AND WHEN I HIT THE EXPANSION JOINT THE TRUCK STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL BOUNCING THE TRUCK TOWARD THE RAIL GUARD. I APPLIED THE BREAKS TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. IT TOOK ALL THE STREGNTH I HAD IN MY ARMS TO KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD. WHEN AT APPROX 35MPH THE SHAKING FINALLY SUBSIDED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OUR TRUCK. MY HUSBAND HAS EXPERIENCED IT A FEW TIMES. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THERE IS A FORD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 18-2268 FOR THIS AND IT IS BEING CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE. WE ARE TAKING OUR TRUCK IN TOMORROW TO BE SERVICED AT OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A FORD RECALL. EVERYTHING I AM READING ONLINE IS POINTING TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER/ADJUST ASSEMBLY AND CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE AXLE AND THE BEARINGS IN THE HUB ASSEMBLY. BELOW ARE THE PART NUMBERS THAT ARE LISTED IN THE FORD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 18-2268: PART NUMBERDESCRIPTIONQUANTITY HC3Z-3E651-D STEERING LINKAGE DAMPER1 5C3Z-3B440-EEE 1 ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY2 5C3Z-3B440-DDD 3/4 ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY2 5C3Z-3B440-CCC 1/2 ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY2 5C3Z-3B440-BBB 1/4 ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY2 F2TZ-3A049-A CASTLE NUT2 W525288-S437 COTTER PIN2 I REALLY FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH FORD AND PUT IN AS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. PLEASE BE PROACTIVE TO SAVE LIVES.
