Hold down clamps for the fuel injectors are breaking or coming loose on diesel engine. Injectors are not visible for a person to look at as they are buried by covers. Due to the injector coming loose it would allow combustion gasses to escape the cylinder causing other injectors to become damaged and possibly causing a fire. This issue has happened 2 times on my truck and both times the Ford Technicians stated that it is not something that should happen. Vehicle was inspected/fixed by Ford dealership Techs back in March of 2021 and again in May of 2021(still there at this time). A check engine light came on and i immediately drove to the dealership both times. I will provide a picture of a Ford tech site where they talk about this issue happening and their internal memo. Ford at this time refuses to fix the issue and is making me pay for their defective parts.

Started vehicle and drove about 1/4 mile and warning came on to find a safe place to pull over. Check engine light came on. Soon as I slowed down and stopped the engine shut off. Had to have it towed to dealer. Was told it was a bad sensor. Something to do with egr/ oil pressure. This is second time this happen. Previous time was while driving through town, stopped at a red light and truck shut off for overheating. Again had to tow it in, and again was a bad sensor sensing the truck had overheated. Nothing wrong with the truck either time except sensor.

The def tank continues to throw a check engine light warning. According to the dealer ford knows about the problem and there is no current fix to the issue. My def tank was replaced with a unit off another vehicle on the lot and was told that I could be left stranded if the light continues to stay on. San tan ford had no fix for the problem until ford release a fix and according to the service manager there are 120 people waiting for tanks. How can ford continue to sell these f250's if the def tanks are not working and leave the vehicle out of working order. This is a serious safety issue if the vehicle disables itself at anytime due to this problem! There needs to be some pressure put on ford to get these vehicles in working order and people should be made aware of this problem if they are spending over $50,000 on a new vehicle that may at anytime stop working with no fix available. Need to recall asap, people all over the forums are complaining of the issue and removing these pollution equipment to have their vehicles working correctly. Not good business ford!

While driving downhill on a road in nh, at approximately 60 MPH, my automatic transmission suddenly down shifted from 6th gear to 4th gear and then within 2 seconds then downshifted to 2nd gear causing sudden and swift reduction in speed. No engine warning lights were displayed. Roads were dry and no one was immediately behind me. I brought it to the dealer and they said they downloaded the most current patches for my transmission software. About 2 weeks later (8/27/11) the same thing happened. Again, going downhill about 60 MPH, automatic downshift from 6th to 4th to 2nd with no warning. No engine warning lights were displayed this time either. Dealer is reluctantly looking at it again, hopefully this week. They wanted to look at it next week, but I fear for my safety and the safety of my family. This strikes me as an accident waiting to happen. They said there were no bulletins for my transmission. They wanted it to happen again so I could be more specific about whether or not I was accelerating or not. I did not feel they were taking it seriously enough, so I had to escalate the service manager's decision to have it looked at more quickly. I am even more reluctant to drive it in inclement weather, even rain.
