Ford F-250 SD stalling problems

Filed Sep 9, 2026 · Engine, Fuel system · CA

the federal safety agency Vehicle Safety Complain To whom it may concern, My Name is [XXX] I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty equipped with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine (VIN: [XXX]). At approximately 137,900 miles, my vehicle suddenly lost engine power while driving and stalled without warning, creating a serious safety hazard. After stalling, the truck would not restart and had to be towed to a repair facility. The repair shop diagnosed a catastrophic failure of the diesel high-pressure fuel injection pump. According to the repair invoice, fine metallic flakes were found throughout the entire fuel system, contaminating the fuel lines, fuel tank, injectors, and related components. Because of this contamination, the shop determined that the entire fuel system required replacement, including replacement of all eight fuel injectors, cleaning of the fuel tank and fuel lines, replacement of the fuel filter, and installation of an upgraded diesel injection pump. The estimated repair cost exceeded $11,000, resulting in a significant financial burden. I understand that Ford Safety Recall 24S78 addresses a high-pressure fuel pump issue on certain 2020–2022 Ford Super Duty trucks equipped with the same 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine. Although my 2019 model is not included in the recall, my vehicle experienced what appears to be a very similar failure that resulted in sudden loss of engine power while driving and complete contamination of the fuel system. I am not asserting that my vehicle is covered by the current recall. Rather, I respectfully request that the federal safety agency investigate whether the same or a substantially similar defect may also affect certain 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty vehicles equipped with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine. If the investigation determines that these vehicles are affected by the same safety defect, I ask that the recall be expanded accordingly. I have retained the repair invoice documenting the diagnosis INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA

My truck transmission changes gears randomly while in motion. It is terrifying when it happens in traffic and the truck stalls and looses power then kicks back in with a loud noise. I stopped driving it since March of 2026.

My husband was driving our 2019 F250 on the highway at over 75 mph and the truck totally shut down/stalled without warning, could have killed him or another person, lucky he was able to coast to the shoulder and stop, we took to the Ford dealership and was caused by the faulty CP4 fuel pump the truck was made with that has had class action lawsuits and recalls, we are out of pocket over $14,000 to rebuild entire fuel system due to the fact that fuel pump is NOT compatible with our diesel fuel leading to metal shavings build up in fuel system. Our truck still has no recall on this and it should and we should be reimbursed for the extremely expensive and lengthy repair, this is a very dangerous issue. The mechanic also stated he "duplicated" the stall when he go on the highway and hit speeds over 60 mph, thank goodness he is ok as well.

We get a power reduced code and the truck shuts down while driving. We have to pull over and put it in park and restart it. When we are on the freeway we can’t get over we put it in neutral and turn off the truck and restart it. It is very scary and dangerous! This has been happening since June of 2025.

the federal safety agency Complaint Text (Copy/Paste) Vehicle: 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke Recall: 24S78 – Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Software Update Complaint: Ford has issued Recall 24S78 for the high-pressure fuel pump defect on my 2020 F-250, but the company has not provided an actual remedy. The recall shows as open on my VIN, and Ford’s documentation says a PCM software update is the fix, but Ford released the software and then pulled it back within a week. My dealership confirmed Ford removed the remedy from their system, so they cannot perform the recall at all. This leaves my truck exposed to a known safety defect with no available repair. The high-pressure fuel pump failure this recall addresses can cause sudden loss of power, engine stall, or complete shutdown while driving. Until a working remedy is released, I’m driving a truck that Ford has admitted has a serious safety defect, but they have not provided any fix or timeline. I am requesting the federal safety agency investigate why the remedy was withdrawn, why no replacement remedy has been provided, and why Ford is leaving owners with a known safety risk for an extended period. This is an expensive vehicle, and the defect can cause catastrophic engine damage and create a hazardous situation on the road. Owners deserve an effective recall remedy that is actually available. Not exactly sure when the recall was first brought to light but I do know it has been months now.
