FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LONE STAR FORD (8477 NORTH FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77037) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HIGH INJECTION FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,615. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CURRENTLY MY F250 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE HAS A CEL CODE OF P20BA (REDUCTANT HEATER). DURING AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH ON THIS PART, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE REDUCTANT HEATER WAS BUILT BY BOSCH AND SIMILAR VARIANTS WERE INSTALLED IN VW, GM, BENZ, AND OTHER DIESEL MANUFACTURES. VOLKS WAGON HAS ALREADY INCREASED THE WARRANTY OF THIS PART AS IT IS PRONE TO FAILURE. FORD HAS YET TO MAKE A STB OR A RECALL NOTICE TO SERVICE AND REPAIR THIS VITAL EMISSIONS COMPONENT. WHILE SEARCHING SEVERAL 6.7L FORD TRUCK FORUMS, I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE IN MANY 6.7 TRUCKS. IT SEEMS ODD THAT A TRUCK WITH 70K MILES THAT IS NOT USED FOR COMMERCIALLY PURPOSES, HAS FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF THE VEHICLES LIFE. NATIONALLY THIS REPAIR, IF DONE BY A FORD DEALER, IS APPROXIMATELY $750. THE COST OF DELETING THE DEF SYSTEM, THOUGH A FEDERAL CRIME, IS $1,200 DOLLARS. IF THE COST TO REMOVE EQUIPMENT THAT IS PRONE TO FAILURE, CAN INCREASE THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE, AND COSTS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN MORE , INDIVIDUALS WILL BEGIN ELIMINATING THEIR DEF SYSTEMS. A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THESE HEATERS WOULD SERVE AND BENEFIT THE DIESEL COMMUNITY.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY STARTS WHAT IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE TRUCK STARTS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY, AND THE ONLY SOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS COME TO A VERY SLOW SPEED OR A DEAD STOP. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE REGARDING THIS MATTER, AND SEVERAL VIDEOS OUT THERE REGARDING THIS MATTER. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER, AS IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AND SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED OR DIE BECAUSE OF THIS. MY TRUCK IS PAMPERED, AND ONLY HAS 55K ON IT, SO THIS ISN'T BECAUSE OF ABUSE.

WHEELS
I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AFTER I NOTICED THE TPMS WAS MALFUNCTIONING AFTER ABOUT 4,000 MILES AND 3 MONTHS OF OPERATION. THE TPMS ORIGINALLY SHOWED A DRAMATIC FAULT IN ONE TIRE, BUT LATER SHOWED FAULTS IN THREE. THE READINGS CHANGED CONTINUALLY FROM TIRE TO TIRE AND SOMETIMES WERE AS LOW AS 40 PSI IN SOME TIRES. THE DEALER REPLACED 1 SENSOR BUT COULD NOT GET THE TPMS TO CALIBRATE. I RETURNED THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE DEALER OBTAINED TWO MORE NEW SENSORS. AFTER THE TWO NEW SENSORS WERE INSTALLED IN TRUCK WHEELS, THE TPMS STILL WOULD NOT CALIBRATE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW SENSOR IN THE REMAINING WHEEL AND WAS THEN ABLE TO CALIBRATE THE TPMS. THE DEALER BELIEVES THAT ALL FOUR SENSORS FAILED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES AND THREE MONTHS. THE DEALER SAID THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAD "MOISTURE" INSIDE WHEN THEY INSTALLED NEW SENSORS AND ASKED ME IF I HAD USED A PERSONAL AIR COMPRESSOR TO ADD AIR PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. I RESPONDED THAT I HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THE AIR PRESSURE BEFORE THE FIRST FAILURE AND ONLY CHECKED ALL FOUR TIRES FOR AIR PRESSURE AFTER THE SYSTEM SHOWED A PROBLEM. WHEN CHECKING ALL FOUR TIRES AFTER THE FAILURE I MAY HAVE ADDED A POUND OR TWO TO EACH TO BRING ALL UP TO THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. I HAVE SINCE CHECKED MY COMPRESSOR AND IT DID NOT EXPEL ANY WATER AFTER DRAINING. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THE FINAL SERVICE REPORT FROM THE DEALER, AS AFTER 4 HOURS OF WAITING FOR RESOLUTION, I WAS IN A HURRY TO GET HOME. OBVIOUSLY, ALL IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

1) FAULTY HEAD BOLTS REPAIR WAS OVER $6000 INVOLVED GASKETS, CRACKED HEADS, BOLTS, UPDATES AND UPGRADES. 2) DEATH WOBBLE FRONT END ISSUES (MINE ARE FORTUNATELY OCCURRING AT AT LOW SPEEDS) HOWEVER THE WOBBLE HAS CAUSED MANY FRONT END AND STEERING COMPONENTS TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. WOBBLE KICKS IN AFTER SHARP TURNS AND WHEEL WILL NOT RETURN TO CENTER AND WHEN FORCED BACK TO CENTER IT WILL WANDER AND HUNT FOR CENTER. USUALLY UP TILL 20-25MPH THEN SELF CORRECTS.

ENGINE
ON NOVEMBER 26TH 2017, MY TRUCK STARTED HAVING A SIGNIFICANT MIS-FIRE IN CYLINDER #4. TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON CITY STREETS; THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE ALTHOUGH DIFFICULT TO LIMP THE VEHICLE HOME AS IT DID NOT ACCELERATE WELL. UPON REMOVING THE SPARK PLUG; IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD THREADS IN THE SPARK PLUG PORT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN EJECTED SPARK PLUG HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN CONTINUED TO BE OPERATED. SINCE THIS IS THE 3RD DIFFERENT CYLINDER THIS HAS OCCURRED ON WITH NUMEROUS REPORTS FROM MULTIPLE OWNERS OF THE SAME ENGINE DESIGN BY FORD; I HAVE DECIDED TO FILE THIS REPORT. THIS IS THE 2ND REPORT I HAVE FILED WITH THE NHTSA. THE FIRST REPORT I FILED WAS BECAUSE THE 2ND TIME THIS OCCURRED; A SPARK PLUG EJECTED FROM THE #3 CYLINDER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN SPEED IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THAT OCCURRENCE ALSO CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION AND HAD TO BE PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT REPORTS TO FORD AND DOCUMENTED OCCURRENCES DATING BACK TO 1997; FORD CONTINUES TO SAY THAT BECAUSE NO "SAFETY ISSUES" HAVE RISEN OR BEEN PROVEN TO BE CAUSED BY THIS ISSUE THAT IT IS NOT THERE PROBLEM. I WILL ALSO BE FILING REPORTS WITH BBB, CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND CONSUMER REPORTS.

FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAK OFF AND CAUSE EXCESSIVE NOISE, EXHAUST ENTERS THE DRIVERS CABIN, VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I HAVE 4 FORD VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT AROUND 50,000 MILES AND 48 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. FORD REFUSED TO MAKE REPAIRS UNDER ANY PORTION OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY. THEY CLAIM LIFETIME EMISSIONS WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT, NOR THE 100,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE SPENT OVER $8000.00 MAKING REPAIRS TO THESE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.
