ENGINE
RADIATOR LEAK FROM DRIVERS SIDE LOWER PORTION. SAME AS PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR ISSUES. FORD CURRENTLY WARRANTIES EARLIER PRODUCTION, BUT WILL NOT EXTEND TO 2011 AND UP. TRUCK HAS ONLY 56000 MILES ON IT. LEAK OCCURS AFTER VEHICLE HAS REACHED OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND IS PARKED AND/OR TURNED OFF. INSPECTION CONDUCTED BY FORD DISCOVERED TANK CRIMPING HAS FAILED AND TRUCK NEEDS A NEW RADIATOR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT STILL NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT.

STEERING
I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING AND FRONT END OF THIS TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED EVERYTHING THEY CAN AND NOW THEY TELL ME IT IS THE STEERING GEAR BOX THAT NEEDS REPLACING BUT THAT PART IS ON BACK ORDER INDEFINITELY. I SEE NOW THAT THE NHSTA HAS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS MATTER AND I AM WAITING FOR A RECALL TO BE ISSUED. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD.

WHEELS
MY RECENTLY PURCHASED VEE RUBBER A/T TIRE BLEW UP WITH A LOUD BANG SUNDAY MORNING PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THANKFULLY, AND NOT ON THE ROAD. I JUST BOUGHT FOUR TIRES FROM SIMPLE TIRE ON 07/07/2016 AND ONLY PUT 200 MILES ON THEM. IT APPEARS TO ME LIKE AN AIR LEAK DEVELOPED NEAR THE TREAD/SIDEWALL AREA AND DELAMINATED THE SIDEWALL FROM THE INNER LINER AND BLEW OUT NEAR THE BEAD. TIRES: VEE RUBBER TAIGA A/T LT285/75R-16 R 126/123R THE ONLY DATE CODE MARKING I SEE IS 0316?

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED IT PROCEEDS TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT YOU ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT AN ANTI-WOBBLE TRACK BAR WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. IF THAT IS THE CASE, FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. IT IS DANGEROUS AND A TICKING TIME BOMB. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TIRE PRESSURE. IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. A PERSON SHOULD NOT SPEND $60,000 ON A VEHICLE ONLY TO HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND SINK THOUSANDS MORE JUST TO HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND CORRECTED BY FORD. HOW MANY CRASHES/DEATHS HAVE HAPPENED BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THIS AS IT HAS NOT OFFICIALLY BEEN A RECALL ISSUE??

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
EXHAUST CLEANING CYCLE CAUSES EXTREMELY ROUGH RUNNING CONDITIONS. SEVERE ENGINE KNOCKING SEEMS AS THOUGH A PISTON WILL FLY THROUGH THE HOOD SOON. SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER AT ANY SPEED DURING THIS TIME. BRAND NEW TRUCK PURCHASED FROM DEALERSHIP AND THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM PURCHASE POINT ALL THE WAY THROUGH 27500 MILES SO FAR. IN READING I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THAT EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE RUNS ROUGH DURING EXHAUST REGEN. TYPICALLY WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 55-65, THE DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID WARNING APPEARS. ALMOST A MINUTE LATER THE TRUCK BEGINS TO MAKE LOUD JACK HAMMER NOISE AND LOSES POWER. FEELS VERY UNSAFE AS YOU LOSE POWER FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2011 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY (DIESEL) HAS ISSUES WITH THE EGT SENSORS. THIS IS THE 4TH ONE TO GO BAD. WE HAVE HAD OTHERS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT FORD HAS AN ISSUE WITH THESE SENSORS AND NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT RECTIFYING THIS. THIS TIME WE WERE IN LEXINGTON, KY (OVER 2 HOURS FROM HOME). THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME PREVIOUSLY WE COULD COULD SAFELY DRIVE THE TRUCK, SO WE CAME HOME. THERE IS CERTAINLY A PROBLEM WITH THESE EGT SENSORS THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

ENGINE
DURING REGEN CYCLE FOR DIESEL MOTOR, VEHICLE BEGINS TO MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND THEN BEGINS TO SHAKE, AND FINALLY GIVE FEELING OF LOSING POWER. BECAUSE OF THIS, FEARFUL THE VEHICLE COULD ENCOUNTER THIS SITUATION AT TIMES WHERE IT COULD POSE GREAT DANGER. THIS OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS. ISSUE WAS PREVIOUSLY "ADDRESSED" IN A BULLETIN FROM MANUFACTURER; HOWEVER, THERE IS MORE TO THIS CONDITION. WHAT VEHICLES DON'T IDLE OR DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME OR DON'T MAKE SHORT TRIPS? MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ON 8/15/16, BUT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE TWO MONTHS-- IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE IN LEI RATION AND FORCE. HAVE TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG-- THEY DIDN'T EVEN ACT LIKE THEY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE OCCURRING AND THEY DEFINITELY DID NOT MENTION THE PRECIOUS MANUFACTURE BULLETIN TSB 15-0088. HAVE BEGUN TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS AN UPDATE WAS TO OCCUR IN MARCH 2016, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY ISSUES? NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT CLOSELY TO ENSURE IT IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW OR WORSE.
