This vehicle developed a fuel leak in the area of the top of the engine which resulted in a fire that destroyed the vehicle. I spoke to the Ford Motor Company and they said that there are no recalls or Technical Service Bulletins regarding this. I just wanted to make you aware of my experience so if anyone else experienced this it may show a pattern. Thank You
The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving approximately 72 MPH going downhill, the instrument panel was failing where it would illuminate and unilluminated. There were fireballs being exhausted from the pipe. The fireballs caused a fire in the desert. The contact then lost power steering and the engine shut down, but the contact was able to pull over safely. The fire department and highway patrol arrived on the scene. The fire department extinguished the fire. The contact was unaware of any report being filed. There were no injuries or medical treatment needed. The vehicle was towed to the local mechanic who diagnosed a catalytic converter or blockage in the turbo. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.
1/4/2022 – TRAVELING TO SOUTHERN OHIO IN F-350. Engine light came on. Truck info screen showed Exhaust Fluid System Fault – indicating truck would lock to 50 mph within a certain number of miles, then possibly shut down. Finally got in touch with Ford dealership in Chillicothe and took truck there. They determined it was a DEF heater and pump causing the issue, and that it would be covered by Ford as an extended warranty issue. Ford decided our truck was not covered. On 1/11, Ford added a new campaign – 21M01, Reductant Heater and Sender Assembly, covering the cost of replacement of these items. We were told we needed to pay the repair and Ford would reimburse. To this date, we have not been reimbursed - in fact have pretty much been ignored. The sensor recalibration they did caused the particulate filter to fail. Ford has said they won't replace, even though service manager has said the filter failed because Ford had them recalibrate the sensor. We could have been stranded 140 miles from home because of this design fault that Ford knows about - but is not being forced to take care of. Our truck has less than 64000 miles on it and was purchased new by me in April 2014. Will you please strongly encourage Ford to stand by this defective equipment they have installed in their vehicles, as their 'customer satisfaction campaigns' do not adequately encourage them to fix these faulty issues. Volkswagen and Audi both stand by their defective equipment. Consumer wants assistance getting Ford to pay for repairs.
Cp4 fuel pump failure, upon failure repair was $9300.00, ford obviously knows of the problem as their is a kit that can be purchased for this catastrophic failure{fuel line replacement, fuel injection replacement, both fuel pump replacement , drop and flush fuel tank.}
P20BA - DEF Reductant Heater Code for a defective DEF reductant heater on a 2015 F-350 6.7L diesel with 57,500 miles NOT covered under dealer emissions warranty.
Turbocharger intercooler hose blew of while driving causing a loud explosive noise and lost of compression almost causing a crash. I was on a multi-lane highway and it created a safety hazard
Vehicle was attempting to clean the exhaust filter with the def system. Check engine light came on. Vehicle began slowing down. Scanner revealed code p20ba-00, reductant heater "a" control circuit performance, and p0884 TCM power signal intermittent. Vehicle was being driven at highway speed. Ford dealer contacted regarding repairs. Advised was not under warranty for emissions control. Cost prohibitive to repair.
Def heater failed. Ford has a customer satisfaction campaign, but my vehicle is not included.
Truck started missing and backfiring when accelerating from a stop, lost power assist to brakes, limped 1/2 mile to my house . Engine was clattering , missing, stalling and backfiring. Check engine light on code p0307. Broke #7 valve spring(intake) , lost keepers, dropped valve , which piston hit, ford dealer say it needs an engine for $10,300.00 and no coverage at 69,000. Broken valve springs are a known problem . Dangerous when you lose power assist to brake pedal because of no vacuum. Request ford service to assist because springs are defective
On my 2115 ford f 350 powerstroke diesel the check engine light came on and it de rated the power. I read the cel code and its pb20a which is a redactant heater performance failure. This problem is covered under warranty for all models 2011-14, f250-f 550 and 2015 f450, f550 only. Ford isn't covering the f250 of f350 in the 2015 years. My truck meets the date and manufacturing plant criteria and it is no drivable because of this emissions control part failure. The redacdant heater keeps the diesel exhaust fluid from freezing and renders the vehicle un drivable when it falis.
I was driving out of state (ny) when an alert stated "low fuel pressure) and the vehicle slowed to 5-10 MPH while traveling on the interstate. Upon exiting, the vehicle stopped running leaving me and my family stranded. I had it towed to a local shop which informed me the bosch high pressure fuel pump was not delivering the required pressure (/,000 psi). Upon contacting the ford dealership where the vehicle was purchased, I was informed the vehicle exceeded warranty miles (100,000/129,239) and the cost of the pump was $1,245 with exchange prior to labor charges. In all, ford dealer wants nearly $5,000 to repair the pump which was poorly designed.
Had vehicle 8 months. Driving on interstate 95 pulling my camper, "low fuel pressure" light came on, pulled over immediately. Saw smoke, then fire. Got out of truck with my dog and called 911. Report attached.
Tl* the contact stated that there was a hole in the engine assembly. There were no warning indicators illuminated. Broadway ford (1010 s military ave, green bay, wi 54304, (920) 499-3131) was notified and stated that the vehicle was excluded from a warranty to provide a remedy. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair facility for further diagnostic testing. The manufacturer had not issued any recall campaigns for the engine and engine cooling. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60628. *bf $9349.20 in repairs. Consumer stated the first engine blew a hole on the side at 60,628 miles. It was no longer under warranty. Engine was replaced as well as converter assembly, due to the engine oil getting into the converters at 61629 the engine went bad due to the intake manifold being replaced.
Diesel exhaust fluid reductant heater fault, check engine light has illuminated and is not covered under previous recalls. Recurring problem for ford super duty that needs to be extended for this model as it is the same problem that previous attention was given to. It is a emissions problem that fails on these trucks.
This vehicle has 42,188 miles to date, and has been down for over 8 weeks due to sensor problems involving the egr and def system. 4 temperature sensors were initially replaced, and then the particulate sensor showed a fault. That sensor was $146.55! As of today, that sensor is bad again and ford states there is a updated one for $200.99! The emissions warranty runs out as soon as you drive it off the lot! I have spent nearly $800.00, and this vehicle sits, as the check engine light keeps it in limp mode. This vehicle is maintained in perfect condition. If the epa is going to require these emission standards, then vehicle manufactures should be liable for these costly repairs! I recently found out that there are delete kits to eliminate this issue. However they void the warranty and it is unlawful to do so. I can see why they are doing this. Frankly, I dont see the point in a "handful" of us trying to keep ours running to code, while others are ripping this pollution stuff off. I don;t see the point. However I am totallyl frustrated at a $70,000.00 pickup that remains broke down. You can't even trade them off if they are having def issues. I read quite often about state, county and city vehicles that are having the same issues, and that keeps them off the road for snow plowing and a host of other duties. This issue needs addressed and resolved. Talk about a safety issue: driving home in the dark and this thing decides to limp off the road. Always a weekend or after hours. And service shops are so far behind it takes weeks to get in. This is outlandish that the us is trying to reduce emissions while the rest of the planet could care less. What is the point? I am a reasonable person, but I do not see the point. Clue me in please.
At times and very frequently truck is losing power to accelerate, very slow to accelerate, will not go over 50mph. This happens everywhere doesn't matter the speed or location. When this happens the turbo psi reads 0, and you can't hear the turbo. A warning will come up that says the exhaust needs to self clean and drive to clean. Sometimes it will have thick smoke come out the exhaust that stinks. Sometimes the truck will shake violently when trying to accelerate or brake. Very dangerous when driving on the highway and the truck will not accelerate so that I can merge without being rear-ended. Sometimes it will loose all power so I have to let up on the gas and try again softly and it will slowly accelerate this has also happened at a traffic light that turned green for me, as I was entering the intersection I lost all power and was almost rear-ended. The first happened when I was trying to get into the right slow lane on the highway from being pulled over on the shoulder and as I stepped on the gas and the truck did not accelerate at normal speeds and I was unable to accelerate to speed in order enter traffic in time to not get rear-ended by the car coming up in the lane I was trying to enter thankfully the other driver switched out of that lane.
Exhaust filter cleaning when that warning comes on my trucks engine is really rough and shakes. This is when driving to clear the exhaust filter.
Faulty radiators in 2015 ford trucks.
At times while driving at 45-60 miles per hour and while in 6th gear (automatic) after the "cleaning exhaust filter" message comes on when it cleans the exhaust twice within a 100 miles, the engine will shake and knocking/spiking noise after the second cleaning. This happens intermittently and I am unable to recreate the problem at the dealership. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it feels like you have a loose wheel and it will jerking backwards and forth. Ford seems unaware of this problem and has no remediation on how to fix the problem. This started around 8000 miles the truck has 32,000 miles now.
When vehicle is going thru regen runs extremely rough shaking and bucking .
At 40 to 50 MPH the truck can experience loss of power and severe "shuddering" we have 2 2015's that we purchased last september and both are experience the same issue it's very sporadic seems to happen a few times a week. I'm concerned for the safety of my company as we can be pulling trailers and can not have this type of behavior when on busy roads. Ford knows there is an issue as stated in tsb 16-0041, but they will not attempt to correct it unless their techs see it happen..I have already had it into the shop and they couldn't see the problem. If you look on the internet it appears to be a problem on quite a few 2015's..here is one forum of many http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1381159-ford-releases-tsb-15-0088-for-2015-active-regeneration-jackhammer-valves-issue-33.html
2015 f350 6.7 diesel with 46,000 miles that is down because hpop is defective and spreading medal through system. Ford has inspected and said it is because of water in fuel, even though no warning lights or codes are available. Ford pulled sensors out of engine and rejected repair because of tarnish on sensors. The only codes were for (low fuel pressure & reduced power). No other codes. Initial inspection revealed about 3/4 inch of water in water separator but no light or code. The warnings occurred when truck was started and it ran about 100 ft before being shutdown and towed to dealership. This appears to be a common problem since ford offers a repair kit for this issue. Total cost of repair is between $9500,00 & $12,500 dollars and this on a truck which is still under warranty that ford will not honor. The truck wasn't a year old until may 2016 and has been down for over four months because ford will not repair. This is the bosch c4 series pump. *bf *tr *dt consumer stated he had the truck repaired and he sold it.
I have a f350 2015 vehicle, having an engine knock noise and hesitation problems right after the engine knocks. I have experienced these concerns five times. The dealership is saying is a characteristic of the vehicle due to california regulations. There is a tsb to the concern that I am having, but I don't think my vehicle should have the heads rebuilt since I just purchased it back in dec 2015. What is the state doing to have this concern resolve? I brought it in two days ago to the dealership and since after the 4th time of the engine knocked the check engine light came on they ended up replacing a sensor. I picked up the vehicle from the dealership yesterday and on my way home, the engine knocks to happen again. I am waiting on fmc to call me and tell me what they are going to do now. The vehicle has two other problems a windshield noise at 60 to 70 miles per hour on windy days. They resealed the windshield the problem exists. They are telling me, that unless they duplicate the issue, they can't do anything. I showed them a video that I recorded during the concern happening, but they are ignoring it. I showed them a video that someone else posted on you tube same concern. However, since they cannot duplicate they cannot do anything that is their answer. I also have a problem of the transmission, harsh shift as slow speeds same thing can't duplicate is what the work order from the dealership states. What can I do to have this vehicle looked at for the concerns I am having? It has been in the dealership four times since I bought it.
During regeneration of the diesel particulate filter the truck loses power and operates roughly. This last occurred as I was merging into traffic on the highway during slick road conditions. This could have very easily resulted in loss of traction and/or collision as I was unable to accelerate to speed.
Engine stopped once in the road pulling a 40 ft.r.v. .intermintley severe loss of power and trying to overheat. Comeing down a 7200 ft. Mountain I lost the r.v. Brakes,engine brakes & the tow haul mode (to help slow down) all I had was the truck brakes going around 80 m.p.h. By the time I got stopped all 4 wheels were smokeing cooking the related parts, rotors, brake pads, calipers,wheel bearings in my opinion.later in a town going slow and stopping the brakes pulled violently to the right, a few more traffic lights then violently to the left. Failing to clean the diesel exhaust filter as needed. Sometimes the wipers come on one time when starting the engine. 3 attemps to fix the engine problems and in my mind it is not fixed yet, most of these problems happened at higher altitudes. All this information should be in the trucks black box, since I could have gotten killed twice I have not let the dealer have the truck again as it is running o.k. Now and I have ordered a new truck because I am afraid of this truck. The dates are approximate, the dealers and I have a copy of the repair attemps . I was on the same roads two years ago with a 2011 f-250 same engine and a heaver load and did not have any problems.
At times while driving at 50-55 miles per hour when "cleaning exhaust filter" message comes on, the engine will shake and knock violently. This happens intermittently and am unable to recreate the problem at the dealership. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it feels like you have four flat tires and it is very violent. Ford said this is normal, I know it's not. We live on very narrow and winding roads in the mountains. I'm afraid that if this happens on snowy or icy roads conditions the vehicle will be very had to control. This has happened 4 times. The date below is the last time it happened, mileage was 6,865. This first happened at about 4500 miles. Seems to happen at about 400-600 miles.
During driving on highway, exhaust regeneration cycle activated, violent shuddering and clattering from engine for 2 minutes.
The vehicle is a 6.7 ford power stroke. During a process called regen, where is cleans the diesel particulate filter, the engine would shake violently. It got worse overtime, to the point it started doing it wile I was merging onto interstate, pulling a piece of equipment (9000lb) on a trailer. It was dangerous with the loss of power. I have since traded it back to dealer as ford has said it is normal operation.
Bought truck brand new in december 2014. At approx. 5,000 (still during the diesel engine break in period) while driving thru an intersection in traffic the truck and motor started violently shaking/bucking with the motor making a loud knocking noise- the truck then had a total loss of power in which I was unable to safely accelerate. The truck then went to the dealer in which I was told they could find nothing wrong. The truck now been in an out of the shop numerous times because the problem keeps occurring. Ford released a tsb stating that its normal for their trucks to experience "rough running" during the exhaust regen cycle. The experiences that have occurred with my truck have no correlation to the regen cycle and seem to happen at random times. The truck has become dangerous to drive and pull my horses with as the shaking/bucking is so violent and with a loss of power and unable to accelerate its scary to even attempt to drive in traffic.
