2011 Ford F-250 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My vehicle has experienced no power while accelerating onto a state highway. Acceleration was extremely slow and created a dangerous situation in which the vehicle had to be pulled over on the shoulder immediately to move out of the way of traffic, which was very far away when I initial pulled out on the highway. This occurred multiple times and at random. The vehicle could only reach 40 MPH on flat highway and while driving on mountain roads, this would decrease to a maximum speed of 20 MPH. This would create a significantly dangerous situation if on was crossing an intersection with oncoming traffic. And
My 2011 f-250 diesel wouldn't start 2 weeks ago and after having it towed found it to be the h.p.f.p had torn itself apart and put metal shavings in the entire fuel system. It was stationary at the time but I believe it was out of sheer luck that I wasn't on the interstate. This is a recurring problem that this year and model have, but ford will not acknowledge it as a problem other than to put a kit together for the consumer when this happens to simplify the ordering process. This is a danger to my family and anyone else on the road if my vehicle suddenly stalls and loses all power. This is a frequent enough occurrence to warrant an investigation in my opinion for the thousands of affected ford diesel owners.
I had a fuel pump to malfunction causing the entire fuel system to be replace on my 2011 ford f 250 at a cost of almost $8000. This is unbelievable I contact my insurance provider and the adjuster said this if a common problem on this make and model. There has to be something wrong for type of repair to be a common thing. Who can afford to pay for a repair like with the cost this truck and insurance. Please call me at [xxx] [xxx]. My vehicle is currently at landers ford 2082 w polplar ave., collierville, tn 38017. I feel if ford is aware of this why is there a not a recall for this to be corrected. We can't afford to pay for this kind of repair cost.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford f-250. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel would spew back out of the filler neck without any warnings making it extremely difficult to fill the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the fuel vapor canister and air filter failed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 170,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford f-250. While driving at 15 MPH, the clamp used to secure the high pressure fuel line leading to the fuel injector fractured causing a fuel leak. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the fractured clamp was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000.
After engine is warmed up, when you slow down, there is a few seconds, 3 to 5, that the truck will not speed up. This problem continues as long as you are in slow down and speed up traffic. If you are turning left the speed up time can be 3 to 8 seconds. I have carried truck back to the dealer several times with this problem. I have been told at these times that they can not duplicate what I have told them. This problem has almost caused a accident several, several times. I have explained to the service manager several times about this problem and there is steel no fix for this problem. I believe that if this problem is not fixed that I will be in a accident.
Started engine and put vehicle in drive. Engine accelerated to max rpms and vehicle ran into a tree approx. 20 feet in front of vehicle. Engine continued to run at wot until I turned ignition off.
While traveling at highway speeds on the interstate the engine began to rapidly loose power. The warning light showed "reducing power". The truck quickly lost power but I was able to move it from the travel lanes as the engine completely shut down and I lost power steering and power brake functions. The truck was towed to a authorized ford dealer where it was determined that due to "contamination" in the fuel supply the fuel regulator stuck open and the engine shut down to prevent further damage. Upon visual inspection by me at the dealership I examined the metal portion of the fuel regulator which had rust like corrosion on it due to moisture in the fuel. Ford's position is that the moisture in the diesel fuel is "contamination" and therefore caused the problem. The system has two in line filters one of which is specifically designed to separate water from the fuel because diesel fuel has a certain moisture content in it. Ford will not warranty the repair and is recommending a complete replacement of the fuel system or the remaining warranty will be voided. The repair is estimated to be in the $10,000 to $12,000 range. My understanding is that ford(as well as other automakers that use the bosch fuel systems) has many complaints related to fragility of this diesel fuel system and that it was recommended to me to file a complaint with the federal safety agency. I am able to provide more specific details as required. Please contact me with any questions.
Our first f150 ecoboost purchased in july 2011 was taken by ford as a lemon. The replacement truck provided in november 2011 has the same issues. While driving in rain on a freeway our v6 ecoboost f150 truck engine starts to shudder, shake and then rapidly lose power while driving at highway speeds. Then the engine completely shuts down when accelerating. Our vehicle barely made it to the side of the road where it stopped running. After letting it sit for a few minutes the engine was restarted. Although the engine worked the truck continued to shudder and shake with limited ability to accelerate for the remainder of the 3 hour drive. Over a period of many months the problem recurred many times, almost always when driving in the rain. The problem was even worse while driving in the rain and towing a boat trailer. The problem is especially horrific when towing a trailer and driving in the mountains in the rain. The problem also occurs no matter then weather when driving through the mountains of kentucky, tennessee and northern georgia. The truck is totally undependable. Although the truck has been in the dealership for repairs the problem is not fixed! On top of the loss of power, a life threatening situation when driving in traffic on any road especially a freeway, the miles per gallon has never been higher than 18mpg when driving on a freeway at 55mph (confirmed by a ford mechanic) significantly below the product advertisement by ford. To date after multiple times in the ford dealership repair shop the problem has not been fixed.
Fuel system failed, filter housing split open before service interval, diesel fuel sprayed over entire engine, no fire but it could have caught on fire.
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!
