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.
2016 Ford F-350 SD transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Locking hubs seized up at 17,000 miles. Could only turn them with a wrench. The coating around the hub was bubbling with corrosion from inside. This problem has occurred on my previously owned f250 king ranch. Dealership was aware of this problem and stated it was common.
October 8, 2018 at 3:45 pm heading north bound on us highway 55 at mile marker 191.8 towing a fifth wheel rv, hit rough pavement which caused uncontrollable oscillation of the steering wheel and violent shaking of the entire vehicle. You must slow the vehicle to under under 10 miles an hour to regain control. This same type of situation happen on august 4, 2018, which I returned the vehicle to the ford dealer who stated they could not find anything wrong, because they could not duplicate the issue.
Uncontrollable steering after driving over expansion joints on the highways or rough roads or streets. Once you drive over these areas, the steering wheel begins to violently shake to the left then the right. The truck is shaking violently and makes it difficult to control the vehicle. You must slow down to almost a stop to stop the violent shaking and regain control of your truck. This has happen two times in a row and I went straight to the ford dealer who replaced parts. On the second time this happen, I had to cut between the highway workers back blocking truck and the highway workers repairing the road because I could not control the vehicle at the highway speed. It has happen again and the truck is back in at the ford dealer.
The vehicle was parked on an incline, with the front of the truck pointing up the slope. The transmission was shifted from drive to neutral, the parking brake was applied, and then the transmission was shifted from neutral to park. The vehicle was left unattended, and shortly after that, it rolled 10-15 feet backwards, with the transmission in park, and the parking brake fully applied. It was found stopped on level ground. Upon realizing what happened, I repeated the parking process using the same shift sequence, d-n-p, with the same results. Additionally, I tried parking the truck pointing down a slope. In this situation, the truck rolled forward, and had to be stopped using the brake pedal. I immediately took the truck to the dealer who I bought it from. They could not replicate the problem and took no action to investigate or repair the transmission.
While driving at 60 to 70 miles per hour you get a slight shimmy in the back end. As you progress the shake gets worse. The ford shop where I live has a rush in rush out work ethic, they don't listen to the one paying the bills. I have tried several shops to find the problem, no results.
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.
