Filed Jul 17, 2019 · Fuel system, Transmission · 104 miles · TX

I purchased this truck 3 months ago, and exactly four days from the purchase date the truck has been malfunctioning, I bought a warranty from dealer, but when I took the truck in for service to find out what was happening I was told it was nothing and they took the engine light that was on off. A couple of weeks later the truck started hesitating so I took it in for a service and oil change and had the fuel filter changed to see if that was the issue, it only help for a short period, when I was traveling in alabama, the hose blew off and black smoke can out the back and I barely was able to control the vehicle, several mechanics looked at it and no one could figure out what was going on because no codes showed up. Bought a hose and dealership in alabama put it on, continued my trip, another three days passed by and the truck started to jerk and hesitate when I was on a steep hill, I put it in a lower gear but nothing helped I went to a diesel expert and it took him two day of examining the entire truck to find out it was the fuel system , there was metal shavings in the system and the whole system was breaking down, I just spent 50,000 dollars on this truck and was told this would cost 8500.00 to try to fix, the 6.7 power stroke fuel system is defective, a ford f 250 should last should not break down like this. Someone is going to get hurt bad with this truck, dealers are knowing these trucks have problems and are still selling them. They are camouflaging the problem with computer tuning and shutting off the emission system def, these items are being deleted and no one is telling us consumers until it's too late. I was driving and could have been killed when my truck basically stalled in the middle of the road and started to jerk back and forth

I have a 2014 f250 and I was driving on the highway when the check engine light came on at 106k, when I had it checked it was reading code p20ba. I know there is a recall for this code for the def heater redundant on years before and after...when will there be a recall for this year as well. I had to have it replaced at the dealership.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford f-250 sd. The contact stated that the check engine warning indicator illuminated. Medved ford (1404 s wilcox st, castle rock, co 80104, (303) 688-3137) diagnosed that the failure was related to customer satisfaction program campaign number: 18m01 (reductant heater and sender assembly repair); however, the dealer and manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded. The dealer had not been authorized to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

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.

Near the end of the highway I was setting thru a light and decided to et fuel. Once I reached the turn in got to the pump all is well. I was not towing or hauling anything the day temperature is 66 degrees. I set at the pump for a minute on the phone and then turned the truck off. Proceeded to fill up and then depart. I started my truck removed the emergency brake at the same time my dash indicator lights all started in with height exhaust temp height oil temp all sorts of other lights along with engine system start failure. I pulled away from the pump for safety and then shut it off. That was it no start same warnings. After calling a wrecker twenty minutes went by and I tried it again and it started with a service engine light on. No dealer could get to it for two or three days so I drove it home to schedule an appointment. Had this happened six miles earlier I would have been in a bad spot.
