What 2022 Ford F-250 SD owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I am hearing knocking (metal on metal) noise at idle. I am concerned it is the cam and lifter oil starvation issue. Also, the idle has become a bit rough with intermittent misses causing vibration. I took to the dealer and they said this is "normal function". while the engine is running, there is no safety risk. but when/if the lifter/cam fails, the truck will lose power completely and, depending on where this occurs, could be quite dangerous.
Engine replaced at 39000 miles lifter delamination
My vehicle has been at Ford of Harvey since 8/31/26. Dealer replaced ignition coil 8/18/26. Light and rough idle returned and the dealer determined a new engine would be needed. Dealer says Ford warranty only wants to replace cam shaft. Metal in oil was found and dealer has fought corporate warranty for over a month, ripping apart my engine. The fear is engine could seize at highway speeds as a result of internal damage.caused by circulating debris. Truck still sits at dealer.
At interstate speeds, when the truck hits a bump or an expansion joint going onto or off a bridge, the steering wheel jerks hard and pulls the truck into the next lane. I've been reporting this front-end problem to Ford dealers for almost two years. About eight months ago, on XXX near [XXX], it nearly made me hit the car in the lane beside me. It happened again this past weekend (XXX) on XXX in [XXX], coming back from [XXX] with my daughter in the truck: coming off a bridge, it jerked me toward the guardrail. [XXX] Ford, [XXX] Ford, and Johnson City Ford have each inspected the truck multiple times, and the problem has not been fixed. This is a serious safety risk at highway speed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The second power door lock actuator has failed on this vehicle at only 24,500 miles. This time the RF door did not lock or unlock electronically. I replaced the failed actuator myself. The inside of the actuator had water in it that looks like it caused the small electric motor to fail. This was the same cause of failure last year when the LF door started not working in cold weather and later failed completely. I believe this is a safety concern as the doors no longer lock or unlock as expected. This opens the door to intruders getting in the vehicle and defeats the protection of an automatically locked door in roll over collisions. This is not an uncommon issue on this vehicle per my conversations with other owners. I have retained both failed lock actuators in the event someone would like to inspect them. It appears that the sealant that was used to seal the two halves of the actuator was not adequate to prevent water intrusion as there was water directly where the case halves meet.
