Driving on highway at 70 MPH, hit bump in the road and the whole front end starts wobbling so bad and had to slow way down to get it to stop. Was almost rear ended by vehicle behind me and car pulled beside me and was pointing at front of truck, so I thought I had a flat. Pulled off road and no flat, scared me so waited a few minutes and proceeded on. This has happened on a couple occasions, always when hit a by spot in road, once going over smooth railroad tracks. Also will be driving and foot on gas pedal and all of sudden have no power. Truck will loose all power out of nowhere while driving and other times will drive just fine. Have had trouble in the electrical system with it starting, have replaced batteries twice and periodically will not turn over, it's like the batteries are completely dead when they are not.

While drivingmy ford f350 crew cab longbed diesel 4x4 at 70 MPH on interstate 10, a 4 lane hwy in each direction, the truck lost all engine power and power assist to the brakes and power steering. Luckily the traffic was light and I was able to maneuver the off the hwy without coming in contact with another vehicle. The truck was towed to a ford dealership and it was determined that the high pressure fuel pump came apart and put metal shaving everywhere throughout the fuel system. Ford recommended replacing all of the high pressure system this included all new fuel injectors. This repair cost $9,000.. A search of the internet revealed that this is a known failure. I had an independent lab test the fuel. There were no contaminants in the fuel except the metal shaving from the pump. ( the ford fuel system recirculates the excess fuel back to the tank) the truck has 115000 miles. I had the ford maintenance agreement with the 5000 mile services option. Ford has provided all of the service including the ones after the maintenance agreement ended. This is a very expensive repair to undertake on a 7 year old vehicle. Engineering changes could have prevented the extent of the damage. A post pump filter or screen would have prevented the rest of the high pressure system from needing replacement. An advisory about the potential pump failure and replacing the pump before failure would have costed less than $2000. Had I been towing near full gcwr, 21,000 lbs and come up on los angeles stop and go traffic, this could have be a terrible accident.

Pickup with just under 50,000 miles has now had a "failed" oil cooler. We take immaculate care of our vehicles. I would like to know how many other 2011 ford f-350 super duty diesels have had an issue with a failed oil cooler as such low miles. No warning lights came on - it was "found" during a routine oil change (that there was oil in the coolant bay). This is a huge repair cost for a vehicle that has low miles.

This 2011 ford 350 diesel had a catastrophic engine failure on january 26,2016 while driving down nc highway 113 pulling a hay trailer. The mileage was 136,539 , the vehicle was well maintained, and the engine suddenly stopped running with oil blowing out of the front base of the engine. I bought the above ford 350 on february 13, 2014 from nostalgic motor cars in amherst, va. The truck was extremely clean, well maintained, and had 112,156 miles. The truck ran well for almost one year until 136,539 miles. On january 26, 2016 there was a catastrophic engine failure. The engine locked as we were traveled on highway 113 here in alleghany county, nc. No warning lights whatsoever were displayed. There was a sudden loss of power and oil was spewing from the front of the engine. We immediately stopped the vehicle on the side of the road. Bill's garage of west jefferson, nc charged $100 to haul the truck to blue ridge truck and equipment. Kelly joe barker, an experienced diesel mechanic and owner of blue ridge truck examined the truck and found the crankshaft was locked up. Front seals and bearing from around crank shaft had spewed oil. In his opinion, an internal engine component had broken and the engine seized. We ordered a new ford engine from piedmont truck center in greensboro, n c . It took 6 weeks to arrive. The cost of the repair is excess of $16,000.00. While the engine was removed, we had kelly joe do any and all maintenance and repairs as reflected on the bill. The original engine was returned. The 6.7 engine was recommended to me as being a great engine, and was good until this catastrophic failure. A ford f350 6.7 must last more than 136,539. Ford took the old engine when the new engine was purchased, but they have denied any responsibilty for the engine.
