Truck is a 2018 ford f250 and is leaking oil at 28,000 miles from the upper oil pan faulty robotic seal. This has coated my trucks underside in oil and has been slowly leaking for some time now as I just noticed yesterday after experiencing the death wobble in this truck.
2018 Ford F-250 SD transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On 4/19/19 I misfueled my diesel vehicle. I stopped the process immediately and called ford from the filling station. The ford service center said that I should avoid turning the engine on, or even placing the engine in accessory mode because it would engage the fuel pump and flood the system with gasoline. When the tow truck arrived, it became clear that I could not put the vehicle in neutral to be winched onto the flatbed tow truck without turning on the accessory mode. I called ford for an alternative. Ford recommended that I disconnect a cable beneath the truck that would disengage the transmission and allow the truck to move. Because I could not figure out how to do this, I had to turn on the accessory to get the truck out of park for towing. This caused about $12,000 in damage to the fuel system. More to the point of this complaint, I later discovered that this procedure is not in the manual for my truck. Further, the procedure that is in the manual was not mentioned. It is possible that the ford manual contains a procedure that does not apply to the truck. It is also possible that ford is recommending a procedure that is inherently more dangerous than the procedure in the manual.
Metal type engine noise ,scraping ,tapping could hear louder once warmed up and at idle. Sound present form driver and passenger wheel well area.metal found in oil sample and ford determined it was a main bearing failure. Could hear when stationary but less noticeable when accelerating . 6.2l gas engine
Between 60 to 75 MPH when hitting certain bumps the steering starts violently shaking and will not stop till slow down to about 25 MPH. This started at around 24k and has happened 10+ times. Also at 37k sync 3 radio no longer will come on and wiring issues cannot get trailer braking to connect to the truck. Lights work fine but always shows trailer disconnected so braking doesn't work. You can also start the truck in neutral and put it in any gear without having your foot on the brake.
2018 ford f-250 4x4 with 6.2l gasoline engine: under certain specific conditions, the truck will continue to accelerate after driver input is stopped. The engine will continue to rev up (all the way to red-line) while in gear even though the accelerator pedal has been released. This happens under the following conditions: - vehicle is in a "cold start" condition (engine not up to temp) - vehicle is in "m" (manual transmission driver select mode) - vehicle is commanded to initially accelerate with the pedal, but then pedal is subsequently released, and yet engine continues to run up to red-line - vehicle will slow down if the brakes are applied - vehicle will again speed up as soon as fuel pedal is pressed to a level of approximately 2300rpm each time, and then the engine management system essentially starts this "run away" free rev condition. - the condition is more prominent when the truck is in "4l" mode, but can happen in "4h" or even "2h'. - condition is repeatable; this is not an isolated event and can be made to happen when conditions are as stated - condition has been exhibited on other similar vehicles with similar build data; other vehicle owners I have spoken with have had this same condition happen to them
While towing at speeds above 55-60 MPH the vehicle starts to go through a harmonics type of vibration shaking the entire driver's compartment , steering wheel and dash. This vibration continues regardless if the vehicle speed is increased and doesn't stop until the speed is lowered below 55-60 MPH.
