Ford E-350 check engine light comes on

Filed Jul 2, 2026 · Engine, Fuel system · IN

Over the course of the last 3 months I have experienced different problems with the emissions on my truck. It started with replacing the sensor in the tail pipe then that led to loosing power while pulling my 25 foot goose neck trailer. On 7 different occasion I lost power while hooked up to my trailer. It happens with no warning either on hills or on a straight away. Two of the cases almost led to a wreck because semi's were following me to closely and when I lost power I immediately turned on my flashers and they were either able to get around me or lock up their brakes without hitting me. When this happens I have to coast off to the side of the road and restart the truck to get out of the way of traffic. My dealer could not diagnose the issue because the truck didn't throw a code until the 7th time. When it finally happened I was able make it into the dealership before they closed for the evening and they hooked up the laptop to check the code. This led to replacing the whole fuel system because the CP4 injection pump failed and sent metal shavings through the fuel system. Once this was all replaced the check engine light came on again just after leaving the dealership and now the EGR valve needs replaced. I took my truck to the dealership on June 2, 2026 and to this day July 2, 2026 they still have my truck and are trying to remedy the situation. We are hopeful that after replacing the EGR valve that my truck will be finished. I have also learned that Ford has replaced/ recalled certain VIN numbers for the issues I have encountered, however my truck doesn't qualify ???? How do they determine the recall protocol and is this fair to all customers. This truck is vital to my business and I have had to rent a truck from one of my customers during this month long journey to be able to preform my daily activities for my business. The dealer was gracious to give me a car to drive however a car can not pull a 25 foot goose neck trailer

On August 2, 2024 I was driving my 2022 Ford F-350 7.3L on the interstate when I experienced sudden loss of power, engine was sputtering, obviously not getting fuel in my opinion. Engine eventually quit, and I came to rest on the side of I 20/59. No check engine light or other warning lights were ever illuminated during this episode. After 10-15 minutes of attempting to start, the engine finally restarted and I continued approx. 50 miles to my home with no further issues. On Aug. 14, I took my F-350 to Town and Country Ford in Bessemer, AL. Their Service Dept ran several diagnostics, tested fuel pressure, ethanol content, checked for misfire issues and road tested. No problems were found. Odometer at the time was 26,183. In July 2025 I received a Recall Notice from Ford (the federal safety agency Recall 25V455) for possible loss of fuel pressure due to fuel pump failure. Today (December 8, 2025) I attempted to contact Ford to get an update on the Recall, was provided no updated information (automated system only, live person was not an option). Also contacted Town and Country Ford Service Dept. for any knowledge they may have, which was none as well. I do not drive the truck every day, primarily due to not wishing to get stranded far from a repair facility (current odometer 38,000). I am filing this complaint to hopefully expedite Ford's response to a problem they have been aware of for over a year if not longer, and certainly since July 2025. The absence of any updates is infuriating for an issue that could become catastrophic.

This car bassed for last 2 smog checks and still the light for check engine on ? And I have video for that. / plus the last inspection 03/02/2017 in carfax I see something wrong ( I see that it was a rental vehicle so 81,963 miles in a little over two years is not uncommon. We are also showing that on 7/13/2012 the vehicle was serviced and at that time the odometer reading was recorded as 153,548 miles. Ca dmv reported that this vehicle had 155,061 miles on 8/6/2012. Both these odometer readings are higher than 98,384 miles and they both come from different sources. Therefore it appears that the 3/2/2017 odometer reading of 98,384 miles is in error

Failure of fuel vapor valve assembly part #f65z*9b593*da. Gas vapors build up in tank and are released under pressure when gas cap removed for refueling. Vehicle operates normally with no warning light for at least 30 days or more before check engine light comes on. I think it is fair to say under the correct conditions these vapors could ignite at gas pump when refueling. I have complete records of letters, phone calls and visits to ford dealership, also defective valve was sent to ford motor company and returned to me with a letter saying in part "returning part as we do not have facilities for inspecting or evaluation" I was also informed my request with service manager at gator ford to meet with myself and rep. From ford is not possible. I am original owner and vehicle has low mileage and well maintained. Parts letters and any other information you may need to investigate this matter will be provided from me at your request. Cordially yours, daniel trzaska
