UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THE PLASTIC OIL PAN DUE TO SEAL FAILURE AND RETURNING BACK TO STEEL PAN ON NEWER MODELS. THIS A CONTINUING PROBLEM NOTED ON NUMEROUS INTERNET POSTS. MY 2011 FORD F-250 LARIAT 4X4 IS LEAKING OIL AND NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED, COSTING A LOT OF MONEY FOR LABOR AND OIL REPLACEMENT WHICH SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 135,000 MILES DRIVE TIME.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY TRUCK AT AROUND 15000 MILES HAD SOME WOBBLE AFTER HITTING BUMPS ON HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT IN FOR ITS 25000 MILE CHECK UP AND STATED THIS AS WELL AS POOR ECONOMY OR 1 OR SO. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG... WELL AT 27000 MILES IT WAS SHAKING SO VIOLENT I DEMANDED IT BE BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE IT WAS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE! GROOVE FORD LOOKED IT OVER (WHO BOUGHT IT FROM) AND SAID THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS WORN OUT AND WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE NOW IT WAS 40 DAY PAST THE 3 YEAR. EVEN THOUGHT THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT, AND IT WAS 9000MILES UNDER THE MILLAGE!! I FINALLY GOT FORD TO PAY FOR 2000 AND THE GROOVE FORD PAID NOTHING I PAID 700. THEY VERY DAY I GOT IT BACK I WAS THEN HEARING A NOISE TURNING SHARPLY LEFT ON STEERING WHEEL ROTATION. I WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER $700 AND NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THEY DID. THEY SOLD ME A AFTER MARKET WARRANTY THAT THEY NEVER INTENDED TO HONOR AND DID NOT COVER MY PROBLEMS. WHICH SHOULD BE FRAUD. EVERY ONES ALWAYS GONE OR ON VACATION. STILL NO REFUND ON IT AND NOW I LOOK TO TRADE IN THE PROBLEM.

STEERING
STEERING BECOMES TIGHT THEN WANDERS WITH NOT ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF STEERING UNTIL VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR SOMETIME. MECHANIC SAID ALL PARTS ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. HAPPENS AFTER A TURN BUT IF YOU STOP AND TURN OFF TRUCK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES IT SEEMS FINE FOR AWHILE. THIS MOSTLY IN TOWN SLOW TO MEDIUM SPEED 15-45 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS NOW. 3-29-2018 AND @40-50 DEGREES OUTSIDE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS TRUCK HAS HAD IT'S DEF SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING FROM THE BEGINNING. IT SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE AT RANDOM INTERVALS, USUALLY LOW SPEED, AND DISPLAYS SHIFT TO PARK. SO FAR IT WILL ALWAYS RESTART. IT NEVER DISPLAYED ANY CODES OR TURNED ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UNTIL RECENTLY. WHEN 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON, I HOPED IT WOULD SOLVE THE STALLING WHEN REPAIRED. I CONNECTED A CODE READER AND GOT CODE P20BA, WHICH IS THE DEF TANK HEATER. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY ON THIS, ALTHOUGH IT IS THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND WARRANTED FOR 100,000 MILES. I HAD IT REPAIRED ELSEWHERE BY AN ASE & AAA CERTIFIED SHOP FOR $400 LESS THAN THE DEALER TRIED TO CHARGE. THE MILEAGE IS ONLY 60,000. IT STILL STALLS EVEN AFTER THAT PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. IT ALSO ONLY GETS AROUND 11 MPG WHEN OTHER TRUCKS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL GET AROUND 18. FORD CONSUMER SERVICES WOULD NOT ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY. THEY GAVE ME A 'RECORD NUMBER' OR SOME OTHER USELESS TERM LIKE THAT BUT NO ASSISTANCE IN INTERVENING WITH THE DEALER. THE DEF SYSTEM HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY- NO WARNING OF LOW LEVEL OR WARNING OF LOW LEVEL WHEN THE TANK IS OVER 3/4 FULL, IT HAS BEEN 40,000 MILES SINCE I SAW THE DISPLAY 'CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER' AND OTHER OWNERS TELL ME THEY SEE IT FAIRLY FREQUENTLY. NEITHER OF THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY COUNTY WILL HELP ME. IT WAS AT MULLAHEY FORD AND THE ONLY THING THEY 'FOUND' WRONG WITH IT WAS THE FUEL REDUCTANT HEATER ISSUE I TOLD THEM ABOUT. I ONLY RECENTLY FOUND THE ARTICLE ABOUT STALLING BEING INVESTIGATED BY YOUR AGENCY. I HAVE A $48,000+ BOAT ANCHOR AT THIS POINT. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS NO CODES YET WILL NOT STAY RUNNING. I BELIEVE FORD OWES ME A FULLY REPAIRED VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS IS ALL EMISSIONS RELATED. I ALSO BELIEVE THEY OWE ME REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS I ALREADY PAID FOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED MY 2017 FORD F 250 SUPER DUTY 4X4 IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017. I FIRST NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND REGAIN CONTROL. I BEGIN TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND LEARN OF THE DEATH WOBBLE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF, I WILL NOW TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE SUSPENSION CHECKED. SECONDLY, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUE'S WITH MY SYNC3 SYSTEM, BLUETOOTH, CLIMATE CONTROL, EASY ENTRY AND EXIT FOR THE DRIVERS SEAT AND THE APPLE CAR PLAY FEATURE. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP, I WAS TOLD THE SYNC3 SYSTEM, A COUPLE MODULES AND THE CHASSIS HARNESS WAS REPLACED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE'S. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO FORD THREE TIME FOR THE SYNC3 MALFUNCTION AND WAS TOLD NOT TO USE THE BLUETOOTH STREAMING WITH APPLE PRODUCTS, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IF IT'S SUPPOSE TO WORK. I HAVE CONTACT FORD FOR A BUY BACK AND THE ANSWER OF COURSE WAS "NO" I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP A FEW MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME REPAIR AND IT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE FOR THE SYNC3 ISSUE THAN ANY OTHER ISSUE'S. HOPEFULLY FORD FIGURES OUT THERE ISSUE'S AND OFFER GREATER CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR A NOT SO CHEAP VEHICLE.

SUSPENSION
ON HIGHWAY - THE FRONT-END AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH, UNCONTROLLABLY AND VIOLENTLY REQUIRED BREAKING TO AROUND 20 MPH BEFORE GAINING CONTROL. IT IS DESCRIBED ON BOTH THE INTERNET AND SOME DEALERS AS "DEATH WOBBLE" THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES OVER A SEVEN (7) HOUR DRIVE FROM CO TO OK AT SPEEDS OF 70, 65 AND 60MPH. FORD MOTOR CO REFUSED TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AND REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I ASKED THEM TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THEY WOULD NOT. I SOLD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AT A $13,000 LOSS. I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO JOINING THE CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT WHEN FILED AS IT IS A MATTER OF TIME VERSES "IF" ONE WILL BE FILED. NO PICTURES... JUST GOOGLE "FORD DEATH WOBBLE"

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I THINK THE NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THE HEADLIGHTS ON ALL NEW FORD SUPER DUTY PICKUPS. EVEN ON LOW BEAMS THEY HAVE AN EXTREMELY BRIGHT AND BLINDING DOUBLE STACK OF LIGHTS ON EACH SIDE. THESE LIGHTS ARE THE MOST BLINDING LIGHTS COMING AT YOU FROM THE FRONT OR REAR THAT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THESE ARE LEGAL? I EVEN DRIVE A PICKUP SO THIS ISN'T JUST A COMPLAINT FROM SOME PERSON WHO HATES TRUCKS. THESE LIGHTS I'M REFERRING TO ARE REALLY BLINDING TO OTHER DRIVERS.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE REAR BREAKS LOCK UP ON THE CALIPER PINS. THE CALIPERS AND PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTEE, AND THREE TIMES OUT OF POCKET. THE FORD DEALER NOW SAYS THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE CALIPER PIN, AFTER LOCKING UP BUY NEW PINS GREASE AND YOU ARE GOOD. THIS ONLY LAST UNTIL THE TRUCK SITS 3-5 DAYS. WHEN THE BREAKS LOCK UP THE REAR BREAK ARE HOT ENOUGH TO CATCH ON FIRE AND THE STOPPING ABILITIES ARE IMPAIRED. YOU LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SUPERDUTY FORDS. THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL LOCK. YOU MAY DRIVE TO TOWN FINE BUT ON THE WAY HOME IT IS LOCKED AND DANGEROUS.
