Engine - while driving on a highway, went to pass a car and the engine light came on and the message was the engine will be shutting down. I pulled to the side of the road and the truck turned itself off. What the ford mechanic said the #4 fuel injector stayed wide open, therefor burning up the piston. The truck had 128,000. Miles. It is sad that a small part like that can cause an engine failure. Had to buy a new motor ($15,000. And they would only warranty it for 2 years.) was told I could have my truck back in 5 days. It took 5 wks to get my truck back with the new engine. Picked it up at 4pm on wednesday. Thursday at 9:30am check engine light came on. The check engine light has come on three more times.

While driving approx 60 MPH a message popped up on the display saying "stop when safe". While trying to get off the road the engine died and left me with no power brakes or steering. Had to be pushed out of the intersection. Would not restart. Truck weighs 8300 pounds. 1 hour prior I was going over a steep mountain pass. Half an hour later I was in 100+ degree desert with no cell service. Either one could have been a nightmare ending. This must be addressed.

This safety concern occurred on a 2011, ford f250, with "26,400" miles on it. Upon leaving my residence, the truck felt sluggish, as if the emergency brake was on. I never use the emergency brake, but checked anyway to confirm it was not set. I pulled over and existed the vehicle, and immediately noticed a burning odor. The odor came from the driver side front wheel. I reached in to feel the rotor and burned my finger tips from the heat. As a precaution, I checked the remaining wheels and all exhibited very high heat with a burning odor. Luckily, I was within an 1/8 mile of s service station. The mechanic inspected and determined all four brakes had seized due to corrosion. Two calipers were salvageable, two were not. The repair was made with the calipers held for the local ford dealer for review, and disposition, but the ford dealer showed no interest, and had declined to personally examine the corroded calipers. The truck was 21 days out of calendar warranty.

Catastrophic engine failure at 3 years old and 124,000 miles. This $60,000 2011 ford f-250 super duty with 6.7 diesel engine is totaled. Driving down the road at normal cruise the engine started making a terrible banging noise and shuddering so violently that I was forced to immediately leave the road. I stopped and turned the engine off. Got out and the ground was covered in oil. Stranded.. Dealership quoted me $24,233.67 to replace the engine. Although this engine is falsely advertised to be rigidly tested for 250,000 miles, ford has sent email stating that they will not stand behind the product. This truck is still financed and quite frankly I cannot afford and should not have to afford this repair. I have had exhaust issues with overheating and burning sensors which were replaced by warranty a couple times and out of pocket a couple times. I have read many reviews that the heat that is built up during a regen exhaust cleaning cycle damages the valves within the engine. I also read that ford fixed this problem in 2012 but that leaves people like myself, who paid ford $60,000+ stranded without a vehicle in just 3 short years. I have service the truck as required and have never abused it nor put it in mud, etc. Please look into this and see if there is anything I can do. It appears I may be without a vehicle and have to default on my lender with the cost of this.

The 6.7 cid diesel engine driven vacuum pump suddenly begins leaking motor oil. Failure of this pump will affect 4 wheel drive systems including auto locking hubs and all interior climate controls. Loss of motor oil could cause engine failure. Failure of 4 wheel drive system during adverse weather could result in a vehicle crash or loss of control. Research indicates multiple failures of this part, indicating a systemic failure.
