2015 Ford F-250 SD complaints

THE TRUCK HAS A WOBBLE AT 55 TO 85 MILES AN HOUR. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIME AND WILL F250 WILL SHAKE SO BAD IT HURT YOUR INSIDES. THEY HAVE REPLACED TRACTION CONTROL FOR AND BALL JOINT, DRAG BAR AND HARDWARE, ROAD FORCED BALANCE THE TIRES AND STILL WILL SHAKE YOUR TEETH OUT OF YOUR HEAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED AS IF IT HAD BEEN SNATCHED OUT OF THE CONTACT'S HANDS. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN IT DROVE INTO A DITCH. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE SLOWLY TO THE DEALER (ALL STAR FORD PALESTINE, 2929 S LOOP 256, PALESTINE, TX 75801) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRACTION BAR FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

VEHICLE IS 34 MONTHS OLD WITH 47,000 MILES. RADIATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO LEAK IN THE LEFT FRONT AREA OF THE RADIATOR. I KNOW I'M OVER THE REGULAR 3YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY IS STILL VALID. FORD WILL NOT COVER IT. RADIATOR SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT THIS AGE OF THE VEHICLE. ISN'T RADIATOR PART OF ENGINE/DRIVE TRAIN? I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS. FORD SHOULD AT LEAST PAY FOR PARTS. THANK YOU!

F250 DEATH WOBBLE MY 2015 F250 PICK-UP TRUCK IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD WITH 38,000 MILES AND IT HAS THE DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH OR HIGHER, PRESSING THE BRAKE AND HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE. IT IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. TIRES AND BRAKES ARE BRAND NEW - SILL HAPPENS.

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.

STARTS A BAD WOBBLE AND SHAKE WITH NO WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME OFF OF THE ROAD. YOU HAVE TO SLOW TO BELOW 30MPH FOR IT TO STOP.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK LOSING STEERING WHEN ENCOUNTERING BUMPY ROADS OR MULTIPLE POTHOLES IN A ROW WHENEVER SPEED IS ABOVE 30 MPH. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I HAVE LITERALLY LOST CONTROL ENOUGH THAT I CROSS LANES, UNCONTROLLABLY BECAUSE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED DEFECTS IN THE ROAD SURFACE. I HAVE TRAVELED ACROSS THE SAME ROAD SURFACE IN OTHER VEHICLES AT SIMILAR SPEEDS AND HAVE NO NOTICABLE EFFECTS. THE 2015 F250 SD HAS THE SAME LOSS IN CONTROL EVERY TIME.

JULY 21 2017 8:00 PM NEAR CHAMA NEW MEXICO PULLING A 10,000 POUND FITH WHEEL TRAILER CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN PASS THE TRUCK CHIMES FLASHES A WARNING AND GOES INTO REDUCED POWER MODE WITH NO PREVIOUS WARNING ( VERY UNSAFE CONDITION WITH LOCATION AND WARNING) THIS DIESEL TRUCK WAS DESIGNED TO PULL A TRAILER ??? AFTER RESEARCH WE LIMPED OFF OF THE MOUNTAIN PASS WARNINGS WERE THE FLASHED ON THE DASH THAT TO CLEAN THE EXHAUST FILTER WE NEEDED TO DRIVE AS WE DID TO NO AVAIL, STOPPED FOR THE NIGHT UNHOOKED THE TRAILER LAND WE WERE ABLE TO PARTIALLY CLEAN THE EXHAUST FILTER WITH NO LOAD ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE TRIP WE HAD THE TRUCK CHECKED AT THE PURCHASING DEALER THE DID A MANUAL REGENERATION OF THE EXHAUST FILTER THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM WITHIN NORMAL MAINTENANCE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN EXTREME SHIMMING (DEATH WOBBLE) NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER GOING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT OR JUST A ROUGH SPOT IN THE HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK STARTS SHIMMING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD TO SLOW THE TRUCK UNTIL IT STOPS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE YESTERDAY (7/14/17). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BEHIND ME WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE SECOND TIME I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER TO DECELERATE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE WAS WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND SHE SAID IF SHE WAS DRIVING SHE WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I UNDERSTAND FROM SPEAKING WITH OTHER FORD F-250 4X4 OWNERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. IS ANYTHING BEING DONE TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. I DID NOT SEE ANY RECALL FOR THIS ON YOUR SITE OR ON FORD'S SITE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, NEXT WEDNESDAY TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE FRONT SUSPENSION FOR ANY DEFECTS BUT I WANTED TO ADD MY NAME TO WHAT I AM SURE IS A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT IS ADDRESSED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK AND THE CHECK BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ABS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAW. CASE NUMBER: 12138371 WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. *JS

MY COMPLAINT IS FORD HAS NO WARNING SYSTEM BEFORE IT DOES $7800.00 DAMAGE. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO FORD MOTOR CORP. AND ITS NOT COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY MY CASE NUMBER IS CAS11721824. THE FORD DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO SAID FORD USED TO HAVE A DESIGN FEATURE TO SHUT DOWN MOTOR BEFORE IT DID DAMAGE TO FUEL SYSTEM BUT THE EPA HAD THEM REMOVE IT AND FORD NEVER PUT ANYTHING IN TO REPLACE THE WARNING FEATURE. ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I HAD CONTAMINATED FUEL THAT BY PASSED THE FILTERS THAT I HAD CHANGED ACCORDING TO FORDS RECOMMENDATIONS. I HAVE A REPORT FROM THE STATE OF ARKANSAS BUREAU OF STANDARDS PETROLEUM DIVISION AND THE FUEL ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THE DIESEL WAS NOT CONTAMINATED FROM THE LAST PLACE I FUELED UP. I REGULARLY USE THE SAME AUTO LUBE TO SERVICE MY TRUCK AND WAS NEVER TOLD I HAD EXCESSIVELY DIRTY FUEL FILTERS AND ONLY HAD 7000 MILES ON THE LAST FUEL FILTER CHANGE BEFORE MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AND FORD HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WHY HAVEN'T THEY IMPLEMENTED A SAFETY FEATURE TO PROTECT THE FUEL SYSTEM BEFORE IT DOES EXTENSIVE DAMAGE COSTING THE CONSUMER THIS MUCH TO REPAIR?

HAVE A 2015 FORD F-250 LARIAT. BOUGHT BRAND NEW. AROUND 40,000 MILES A CODE CAME ACROSS THE DASH DISPLAY HI'LL DESCENT/ TRACTION CONTROL FAULT-. SO IN TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. GOT IT BACK A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND THEY HAD TOLD ME THEY REPLACED SOME PART AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED. AS I WAS DRIVING OUT THE SAME THING CANE ACROSS MY DASH AGAIN AND WENT OFF. I WENT FOR A FEW DAYS AND IT CONTINUED TO COME ACROSS MY DASH. SOMETIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SOMETIMES SITTING. I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN MY REMOTE START WOULDN'T WORK. ALONG WITH THOSE ISSUES MY BACK UP CAMERA WOULDN'T WORK. IT WOULD SAY CAMERA NOT AVAILABLE PLEASE CONTACT DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING ISSUE. MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP NOW 1-25-17 AND HAS BEEN SINCE LAST SATURDAY. I CALLED TO CHECK ON THE TRUCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES AND THEY NEEDED TO KEEP UNTIL THE CODES POP UP. THE LADY ALSO TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THEIR SERVICE TECH'S TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING. NO NEW NEWS FOR GETTING IT FIXED OTHER THEN THEY WILL CALL FORD TO SEE ABOUT ANOTHER ROUTE. ALSO BEFORE THIS TRUCK I HAD A 2012 F-250 LARIAT AND MY FUEL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I GOT IT TOWED TO THE FORD PLACE THERE WERE LITERALLY 3 OTHER GENTLEMAN THERE FOR THE SAME REASONS. IT COST ME 8500 DOLLARS AND 1 MONTH IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. A WEEK PRIOR TO THAT I HAD IT IN THE SHOP GETTING NEW FILTERS AND OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TOO MUCH WATER IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. BUT

I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN A MONTH. TWO TIME, WHEN HITTING A ROUGH SPOT IN THE PAVEMENT, THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO TURNS VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE LIKE IT IS GOING TO RIP YOUR HANDS OFF. SHAKING DOES NOT END UNTIL YOU DECELERATE SIGNIFICANTLY. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT ABOUT 45 MPH IN THE CITY ON A DECENT STREET. THE SECOND TIME WAS LAST NIGHT AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. IN BOTH CASES, IT DIDN'T TAKE A SIGNIFICANT BUMP TO CAUSE THE VIOLENT SHUDDER OR SHAKING. MANY, MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS. ONE SUGGESTION IS THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING DAMPER SHOCK.

WITHIN 60 SECONDS OF THE MESSAGE "CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER", THE 6.7L ENGINE BEGINS TO LOOSE POWER, VIBRATING, AND MAKING VERY LOUD CLANGING NOISES. ALL WHILE DRIVING AT 60-70 MPH, CAUSING A HUGE DECELERATION, DOWN TO 45 MPH IF GOING UP AN INCLINE, DUE TO LOSE OF POWER. THIS STARTED AT 7,000 MILES AND HAPPENS AT LEAST 1 PER TANK OF FUEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RADIO AND BLUETOOTH SYSTEM BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE RESET. ALSO, THE RADIO SWITCHES FAILED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE SWITCHES WERE ACTIVE AND MORE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT WAS LATER INFORMED THAT THE HOUSING UNIT FOR THE STEERING COLUMN HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NEXT YEAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,200.

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 70 MPH AND CHANGING LANE I HITTING THE POTHOLE AND THE TRUCK START BOUNCING AND I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP THE BOUNCING VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAD A SAME TRUCK BACK IN 2005 WORKING FOR THE COMPANY WAS DOING SAME THING PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ?

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.

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.

TRUCK INTERMITTENTLY PULLS TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING, SOMETIMES HARD TO THE LEFT.IF NOT HOLDING STEERING WHEEL TIGHTLY COULD PULL INTO NEXT LANE.

THE TRUCK RUNS VERY ROUGH DURING A REGEN CYCLE. ENGINE KNOCKS AND CLATTERS WITH LOSS OF POWER.

ON INTERSTATE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, A VEHICLE CUT IN FRONT OF MY AND HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES VERY HARD (PANIC STOP). THE VEHICLE VEERED VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT AS SOON AS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND CROSSED THE YELLOW CENTER LINES. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO FORD SERVICE, TOOK SERVICE WRITER FOR A RIDE TO SHOW THEM WHAT IT DID UNDER SEVERE BRAKING. SAID THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM BUT THE END RESULT OF 2 WEEKS WAS IT'S A CHARACTERISTIC OF THAT VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID "THEY'RE NOT THROWING PARTS AT IT TO FIGURE IT OUT. VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE VERY SAME THING. SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A THIRD FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE VERY SAME OF BEING A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. AS A SIDE NOTE AT ALL OF THESE DEALERSHIPS, THE SERVICE WRITER I TOOK FOR A RIDE ALL AGREED THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT DO THIS. WAS ALSO PROMISED THEY WOULD CONTACT FORD ENGINEERING WHICH NOT ONE OF THEM DID. NORMAL DRIVING WITHOUT PANIC STOPS OR VERY HARD BRAKING, THE TRUCK STOPS STRAIGHT. ONLY WHEN THE ANTI-LOCKS CLICK IN DOES THIS PROBLEM OCCUR. WE DID CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP IN THIS SITUATION. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T MAKE THE DEALERSHIP FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AND THEY CAN'T MAKE FORD CALL THE FORD ENGINEERING DEPT. IT'S SOMETHING THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO DO. AGAIN, THEY DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 2015 F250 GAS SUPERDUTY AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BECAME TURBULENT, SHOOK, AND A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PARK AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO STOP THE FAILURE FROM OCCURRING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE FAILURE DID NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE LEMON LAW. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

2015 FORD F-250. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION TIRE PRESSURE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY FORD TO KEEP THE TIRES AT 80 PSI FOR THE REAR AND 65 PSI FOR THE FRONT, EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES WERE IDENTICAL. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THE FRONT TIRES, WERE UNDER-INFLATED. *JB

DURING THE EPA MANDATED EXHAUST REGENERATION CYCLE THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUDDER UNCONTROLLABLY ALONG WITH POWER LOSS. THIS BEHAVIOR BEGAN AT AROUND 5,500 MILES AND NOW DOES IT AT LEAST EVERY OTHER EXHAUST REGENERATION. IT HAPPENS ON MULTIPLE LANE COUNTRY ROADS AND CITY ROADS AT AROUND 50 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR. IT SEEMS MORE SPECIFIC TO THE REGENERATION CYCLE THAN ANY OTHER DRIVING CONDITION OR INPUT. TEMPERATURE IS BETWEEN 40 AND 70 DEGREES OUTSIDE SO FAR. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS IS WORSE THAN THE LAST. THE EXPERIENCE IS SCARY AND COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I NO LONGER LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT IT MAY SHUDDER HER OFF THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING; HOWEVER, THE DETAILS OF THE DIAGNOSIS COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED A MANUAL REGENERATION ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,300. UPDATED 02/12/16*LJ *CN

I HAVE A 2015 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY WITH A 6.7L DIESEL. I STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY AND ONLY NOTICED IT ON HOT DAYS WHILE AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT HAPPENED WITH EVERY RE-GEN, AT ANY OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AND ALMOST ANY SPEED. IT ALL STARTS WITH THE NOTIFICATION ON THE SCREEN OF CLEARING THE EXHAUST FILTER AND HAS AN OK IN THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN. NOT SURE WHY THE OK, SINCE YOU HAVE NO CHOICE ON WHETHER TO START THE PROCESS OR NOT. DURING THE RE-GEN PROCESS THE ENGINE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION, LOOSES POWER, STARTS TO SHAKE AND SHUTTER SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT SHAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO PUT THE THROTTLE TO THE FLOOR. IF I LET OFF THE THROTTLE IT STARTS OVER AGAIN. THE TWO SAFETY CONCERNS THAT IT CAUSES ARE THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND MY TRUCK SUDDENLY SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT ANY BRAKE LIGHTS TO WARN DRIVERS BEHIND ME (I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED LAST TIME IT HAPPENED IN TOWN) AND SECONDLY, HAVING TO KEEP THE THROTTLE ON THE FLOOR TO STOP THE PROBLEM AND THE SPEED THE TRUCK OBTAINS WHEN DOING SO. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I CANNOT STEP ON THE THROTTLE BECAUSE OF THE SPEED LIMIT, TRAFFIC OR ROAD CONDITIONS, AND AM FORCED TO PULL OVER IF THERE IS AN AREA TO SO, IF NOT I KEEP CHUGGING ALONG HOLDING UP TRAFFIC UNTIL I CAN. I HAVE NOT PULLED A TRAILER AS OF YET, BUT QUITE FRANKLY AN AFRAID TO DO SO WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR FEAR OF BEING REAR-ENDED. IT OCCURS AT SPEEDS FROM 30 TO 70 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENE

2015 POWERSTROKE 6.7 DIESEL ENGINE HAS <15,000 MILES. HAMMERING OF ENGINE AT ALL SPEEDS. LASTING LESS THAN 8-10 SECONDS IN DURATION. ACCORDING TO TSB 15-0124 THIS IS A VALVE AND VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE ISSUE THAT FORD APPEARS WELL AWARE OF. RECOMMENDING MAJOR ENGINE WORK TO POSSIBLY FIX DESIGN FLAWS. THE LOSS OF POWER DURING OPERATION IS DANGEROUS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS ISSUE. POWERSTROKE FORUMS ACROSS COUNTRY SHOWING THIS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE 2015 6.7 DIESEL ENGINE WITH PROBLEMS STARTING AS EARLY AS 4,000 MILES.

MY 2015 F250 STARTED VIBRATING AND SHAKING DURING REGEN A LITTLE AFTER 4100 MILES ON THE MOTOR. I DRIVE THE TRUCK 85% OF THE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AT LEAST 45-60 MINUTES TO WORK. FORDS STANCE ORIGINALLY IS THAT THIS IS NORMAL!?! THEY HAVE NOW RELEASED A TSB STATING THAT THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE AND THAT A FIX SHOULD BE OUT SOMETIME IN MARCH 2016 WITH A RECALIBRATION FOR THE DPF. IN THE MEANTIME MY TRUCKS VALVES ARE STICKING IN THE OPEN POSITION I'M SURE CAUSING ENGINE WEAR/DAMAGE (ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE). NOT SURE HOW A RECALIBRATION ON THE EMISSIONS ARE GOING TO FIX CRAPPY VALVE TO GUIDE CLEARANCES. FORD KNOWS THAT IT'S AN ISSUE WITH CURRENT 2015-2016. $60,000.00 RUINING LIKE CRAP, THANKS FORD!

THE VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH, SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND PINGS LOUDLY WHEN THE DIESEL ENGINE GOES THROUGH THE EXHAUST CLEANING PROCESS. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND REQUIRES 1-2 MINUTES TO RECOVER. THE CONDITION HAD OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BUT MAINLY WHEN TRAVELING 50-65 MPH ON MULTI LANE HIGHWAYS.

RE: 2015 F250 SOLD TO [XXX] VIN #[XXX] A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2015 F250 DIESEL, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING WRONG. WHEN TRAVELING AT A CONSTANT SPEED, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO KNOCK LOUDLY AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE. AFTER TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND COASTING FOR A SHORT PERIOD (THERE IS NO POWER TO ACCELERATE DURING THIS TIME), THE TRUCK SEEMED TO FUNCTION NORMAL AGAIN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES ON THE DASH. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT; LASTING LONGER AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE INTERRUPTS FLOW OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I HELD UP TRAFFIC GOING UP MS RIVER BRIDGE, AND THIS PAST INCIDENT LASTED FOR A 15 MILE STRETCH. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE....... INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL INSTANCES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN 60-70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK GOES INTO REGEN MODE I GET A LOUD VALVE CLATTER AND A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

EXHAUST REGENERATION CAUSES ENGINE SHAKE AND LOSS OF POWER. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN TOWING UPHILL AND A SEMI ALMOST TOOK OUT THE BACK OF MY TRAILER. FORD INDICATES THIS IS NORMAL, HOWEVER, IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN NEW. IT OCCURRED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 6,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE DEALER INDICATED THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE, SO I DON'T BELIEVE "NORMAL" APPLIES HERE. IF THIS IS "NORMAL," THEN FORD ENGINEERS NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

EXHAUST REGION CAUSED EXTREME ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN TOWING UP HILL AND PASSING A SEMI. THIS CAUSED THE SEMI TO ALMOST HIT THE BACK OF MY TRAILER. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR WITH EVERY EXHAUST REGENERATION ON THE 6.7 POWERSTROKE DIESEL.

AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE AND LOSE POWER. THE ISSUE OCCURS DURING DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS AND HAS HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS TOLD THERE WOULDN'T BE A FIX UNTIL 3/1/2016. IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE PCM.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING A REGENERATION, AND YOU ARE GOING UP AN INCLINE, THE ENGINE CAN SHAKE AND VALVE KNOCKING CAN BE VIOLENT ACCOMPANIED BY A LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER. THE FIRST VIOLENT INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED WAS GOING UP A NARROW MOUNTAIN ROAD AND FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED FORD CORPORATE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AND UNWILLING TO SPEND ENOUGH TIME TO WITNESS THE ISSUE THEMSELVES. THE LOSS OF POWER OCCURS UNEXPECTEDLY AND COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE POWER WHILE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHICH IS UNSAFE OR CAUSE THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU TO REAR END YOUR VEHICLE WHEN THE POWER LOSS OCCURS GOING UP HILL.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH THE DASH DISPLAY INDICATED IT WAS START A EXHAUST CLEAN CYCLE (REGEN MODE). WITHIN A MINUTE THE VEHICLE BEGAN STUTTERING, LOSS OF POWER AND THE ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING. THE VEHICLE LOST 15 MPH IN A BLINK OF AN EYE. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE TOWING AN RV. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT A MINUTE. THEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST EVENT. THE LAST OCCURANCE WAS ON AUGUST 16TH. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO FORD SERVICE FOR AN EVULATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS FAILED TO UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT AND THE RPMS AND TRANSMISSION WERE NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING EACH TIME THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE ALSO HESITATED TO PICK UP SPEED EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN THE CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER MESSAGE COMES ON, THE TRUCK RUNS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND THE ENGINE GETS A VIOLENT SHAKE WITH LOSS OF POWER. IT ALSO HAS A LOUD PINGING SOUND. THIS LASTS FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY WITH THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN TWO DEALERS. BOTH STATE THIS IS NOT NORMAL BUT FORD HAS INDICATED IT IS AND WILL NOT AUTHORIZE WORK UNTIL SOMETHING BREAKS. THE ODD PART IS THAT THE COMPUTER READS THAT ALL IS OK. THE DEALER STATES ALL IS NOT OK BUT THE ISSUE IS SOMETHING THE COMPUTER ISN'T TRACKING???

FORD OFFERS A 20 INCH TIRE & WHEEL UPGRADE ON 4X4 LARIAT TRIM (AND OTHERS) BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SPARE TIRE IN THE UPGRADE. SPARE TIRE REMAINS AN 18 INCH WITH THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER ABOUT 1 INCH SMALLER THAN THE ROAD TIRES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ADEQUATE 4X4 PERFORMANCE, LOADED HANDLING, RIDE AND STEERING SECURITY. THIS IS A LARGER ISSUE FOR 4X4 VEHICLES THAN IT IS FOR PASSENGER CARS. FORD ADVERTISES A "CONVENTIONAL SPARE" AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT WHICH IS IN FACT SIZED THE SAME AS THE ROAD WHEELS. IN THE SHOWROOM, FORD HIDES THE FACT THAT "UPGRADING" TO 20 INCH WHEELS DOWNGRADES VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AND OPERATOR SAFETY AND SECURITY IN COMPARISON TO THE BASE VEHICLE. THEY DON'T EVEN OFFER TO UPGRADE THE SPARE FOR A CHARGE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME FOR THE F150 TRUCKS ALSO.

THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME WE TOOK THE 2015 DIESEL TRUCK TO THE DEALER. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR TESTERS AND NO FINDING. OUR TRUCK SHOOK, SPUDDERED AND HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND (CLICKING). THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED SUDDENLY. IT IS CONTINUEING. THE DEALER ASSURES US THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED WHEN THEY CAN SEE THE PROBLEM ON THEIR TESTERS. THEY ALSO INFORMED US THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANY DIRECTIIVES FROM HIGHER UP ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. DIESELS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPER. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD DIESEL AND I'M NOT FEELING ANY LOVE. MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE IS RUNNING SUPER.

WHILE TRAVELLING IN MORNING RUSH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IN AUSTIN, TEXAS I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I APPLIED CONSIDERABLE BRAKE PRESSURE. I CAME WITHIN 6 INCHES OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. I WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 MPH AT THE TIME. ON THE RETURN TRIP IN THE EVENING RUSH HOUR IT WAS ALSO STOP AND GO. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO PUT AS MUCH BRAKE PRESSURE AS I COULD TO SLOW THE TRUCK (DOING 1 MPH OR LESS). I STILL TAPPED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. AT THE TIME I WAS TRYING TO STOP THE TRUCK, I HEARD THE ENGINE RPM REV UP AND A POPPING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK UP ON THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FOURTH AND FIFTH CYLINDERS WERE MISFIRING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,200.

THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE RUNNING OUT OF GAS, SURGED, SPUTTER, SURGE SPUTTERED THEN QUIT RUNNING. I HAD 1/2 A TANK. HAD TO COST THE TRUCK A CROSSED SPEEDING TRAFFIC LANES AND CAME TO A STOP ON AN OVER PASS. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER FINDINGS WERE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND CONTROLLER. THE DEALER STATED WHEN THEY ENTER THE CHECK ENGINE CODE (P0627) INTO THEIR WAN, THEY SHORTLY HAD A CALL FROM FORD ENGINEERING WANTING THE PARTS RETURNED TO THEM AND WITH INSTRUCTIONS NOT TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER. IT SEEMS THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAD BEEN FLAGGED IN THEIR NETWORK BY FORD ENGINEERING. IT SEEMS THIS ISSUE WAS UNKNOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP. IT BOTHERS ME GREATLY THAT THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN BY FORD ENGINEERING BUT THE DEALERS ARE SELLING NEW TRUCKS WITH THIS KNOWN DEFECT. THE NEW TRUCK HAS SAT AT THE DEALER FOR THREE WEEKS BECAUSE THE CONTROLLER PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM FAILED TO PROVIDE ACCURATE DIRECTIONS FOR LOCATIONS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ON ONE OCCASION, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM INSTRUCTED TO MAKE A TURN WHILE ON A BRIDGE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900.
