About 2018 my 2016 f350 diesel gas mileage was good around 16 mpg city and 19mpg hwy I took my truck to ford for service because the regeneration would keep coming on all the time well they finely said it was a sensor but did nothing to replace anything but they told me ford company told them to re-flash my computer in my truck because they had a update well my gas mileage went down to 11 mpg city and 9 mpg hwy and I try to take it back and tell me it is no longer under warranty.....so they did something to my fuel mileage which is totally wrong what they did to me because when I bought it the truck the fuel mileage was better so I am loosing money every time I drive it because what the did behind my back our first trip about oct 2019 we had power loss while driving at around 60 MPH where no matter how far I push the gas peddle to the floor nothing happen of flat land while towing and in heavy traffic where speed limit was higher then 60 MPH where people were rushing around me and honking there horns and we could not pull over with no power to get over a check engine light on we haven't used this truck much if I did would have more problems so I will not know what will happen this year on the 2nd trip also I have check engine that comes on without towing but goes out after awhile and the dealer told me they cant do anything ..I do have a picture of the check engine light on at 20,203 miles and now I only have 20,300 on a 2016 f350 truck right now and it is may 22, 2020 the check engine light was on more then one time but this was the first time I took a picture.

Truck was taken to green ford peoria il. For recall on the crankcase ventilation recall. After receiving my truck back the next day truck threw another engine light on and truck was returned that day to find reductant heater code was showing. My truck of course is a 2016 f350 with the 6.7 found recalls for previous years but not this truck year, same exact issue. I left the dealership preparing to enter the highway, truck was still under full power as I merged into heavy traffic speeding up to merge the truck lost power. I nearly was rear-ended as the traffic was moving at 70 MPH. I was able to throw my flashers on and get to the side of the road. After speaking with the advisor at green ford I was told my truck went into limp mode. I purchased the truck used with 92k miles and have only put 3k on it since. I'm very dissapointed in this issue as I've seen it's a very common thing to happen. The recall should be extended to the 2016 6.7 just as the previous years

Vehicle has 10k miles on it. Was driving down the road, vehicle shut up, and would not start back up. Took to dealer, stated it was a fuel pump problem, that the fuel pump in the truck blew up and sent metal shreds through the fuel rail system and into the engine. Ford denied the warranty stating the fuel was contaminated with to much water. Upon having my fuel tested, it was determined it was not contaminated and they paid 9000 of repair cost, and I paid 1000. I have two vehicles (the other which I will also make a complaint as well) and both vehicles have unsafetly shut off and lost power. After doing research, the fuel pump in the trucks in not rated for the lubricity the diesel fuel in america offers. I have spoken to several mechanics who said the pump will blow up if you do not use a fuel additive. Fuel specifically states to use united states ultra low diesel fuel in their system, and does not require their consumers to use fuel additives. The pump is not rated, and ford is putting these pumps in their trucks knowing their not rated for ulsd in the untied stated.

When the 6.7 diesel engine goes in to regeneration for the emission system the engine sometimes shudders and shakes violently. The valves rattle and there is a sudden loss of power and truck slows. Seems to be mostly when the truck is in a slight pull up a grade. But, it has done it on flat ground. This condition is very dangerous and wide spread throughout the ford 6.7 diesel engines. The dealer stated it was common with these 6.7 diesel engines and a fix was coming but it has been over 2 years and no fix in site. My truck is a 2016 with only 10,000 miles. Ford knows there is a problem and won't fix it. The truck is at woody anderson ford in huntsville, alabama in their truck shop. Their truck shop service manager told me of the problem when I reported what the truck was doing. Ford actually has a tsb for for customers who have reported this issue, but they have no desire to correct the programming. It is bad and something needs to be done before someone get hurt.
