Ford F-350 SD stalling problems

Filed Oct 7, 2026 · Engine, Fuel system · MI

Failed Component & Availability for Inspection: The Bosch CP4 high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failed internally, shedding metallic debris throughout the entire fuel system. This matches the exact defect in the federal safety agency Recall 24V‑957 and Ford Safety Recalls 24S78 and 26S17. The failing CP4 pump and eight injectors were replaced on 03/14/2026 (Eastpointe Invoice #5997) due to contamination. The truck is located at Bob Maxey Ford in Detroit, MI, and is available for inspection alongside work orders from an authorized Ford dealership and two independent facilities. Safety Risk: The failure caused an abrupt, total loss of motive power on an active highway off-ramp, followed by an immediate no-start stall. Coasting without motive power across traffic lanes created an imminent collision hazard before the truck was towed by Troy’s Towing on 06/05/2026 (Invoice #34647). Problem Confirmation: •03/14/2026: Eastpointe replaced the failed CP4 pump and eight injectors (Inv #5997). •04/07/2026: Bill Brown Ford pulled DTC P228F, found debris on the regulator screen, and advised full fuel system replacement (RO #80302). •04/29/2026: Eastpointe confirmed metal contamination upon teardown (Inv #6342). •05/14/2026: Diesel’s Place found metal shavings on the regulator valve (Inv #2118). •Current: Bob Maxey Ford scanned DTC P0087 but reported no debris, contradicting prior documentation. Inspections: Bill Brown Ford inspected the vehicle on 04/07/2026 and documented debris. Bob Maxey Ford retrieved DTC P0087—a qualifying code for full fuel system replacement under Ford Recall 26S17—yet Ford Corporate denied coverage based on their claim of no metal shavings. Warning Signs & Timeline: In March 2026, the Check Engine Light illuminated with severe engine jerking (pump/injectors replaced 03/14). Bill Brown Ford confirmed DTC P228F and screen debris on 04/07. Metal shavings were reconfirmed on 05/14, leading to a highway stall/no-start on 06/05 and a stored DTC P0087 at Bob Maxey.

The 10 speed transmission is this truck shifts horribly. It will stall in intersections as it works its way thru 3 or 4 gears shifting away while refusing to move faster than a crawl. It has occasionally jerked harshly into 2nd gear at ONE(1) mile per hour. When you are coasting towards a traffic light it will jerk violently downshifting from 4th to 3rd. That downshift feels like the rear brakes are dragging. All of these behaviors occur at any point in city driving, making it risky to make a left turn in traffic and making passengers uncomfortable when riding, at any time they can be jerked any which way while riding in the truck. To make matters worse, the traffic warning lights on the mirrors will lite and alert occasionally when there is no traffic anywhere near the truck. This has happened on remote roads where there are no other vehicles, plants, shrubs or signs anywhere near the roadway. This truck is uncomfortable to drive and feels unsafe. I believe it is all related to the poorly made and engineered transmission.

the federal safety agency Complaint Draft Vehicle Information: Year/Make/Model: 2022 Ford F-350 VIN: [XXX] Recall Campaign: 25S75 / 25V455 Mileage: 38606 Problem Description: My 2022 Ford F-350 is subject to recall 25S75/25V455 (low-pressure fuel pump failure). Ford notified me on July 8, 2025, that no remedy is currently available. The recall states the fuel pump can fail, resulting in a loss of fuel pressure and engine stall while driving. This creates a serious safety risk of crash or injury. Despite acknowledging the defect, Ford has not provided a remedy, a timeline for repair, or safe alternative transportation. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle, and I am still financially responsible for it. Safety Concern: The risk of the engine stalling while driving, especially at highway speeds, creates an immediate danger to myself, passengers, and other motorists. Resolution Sought: Require Ford to provide a safe loaner or rental vehicle until a remedy is available, OR Require Ford to buy back or pay off the balance of this unsafe vehicle until the defect is resolved.
