Ford F-350 knocking problems

Filed Jul 8, 2020 · Brakes, Engine · 90,000 miles · HI

While driving my vehicle to get on to the freeway, the engine started revving and rattling I could smell something burning. When I tried to press on the brakes it wasn't working than the steering locked. I hit my emergency breaks put on my hazard light and turned off the car until a police officer arrived. I purchased the vehicle on 2/28/2020 and when I returned to pick up the truck the next day they could not produce the keys, this took about 2 weeks. On 04/06/2020 approx. 2 weeks after picking up the truck the it wouldn't start, I jumped the truck at which time there was a rattling and knocking sound in the engine, I took it back to the dealership for servicing. I got the truck back again a little over 2 weeks later on 04/23/2020. I feel the truck is so unsafe that it will cause me to get into an accident placing my life that of my family or another driver in a separate vehicle at stake. Upon reviewing all of the documents none of the documents have the same odometer reading and the number is approx. 24000 off.

Had the truck over heat multiple times. Had to change the coolant and also the radiator on long with the oil coolant container. Has a ticking sound and has not yet gone away. Have taken it to ford dealer and they can't figure it out. Would like to know what to do since I have spent a lot of money and the problem hasn't been fixed and the only thing the ford dealer tells me is to trade it in for a new one. Help1

Excessive white smoke out of exhaust, especially with acceleration. Smoke has a foul odor also. Can hear a knocking sound in engine on deceleration (similar to bad wheel bearing hums), only does it if turbo is over 150-200 psi, but will do it every single time. 'drive to clean exhaust' displayed on dash. Completed recommended drive cycle (over 30mph for at least 20 minutes, I drove for 45 mins) and message still appears. "wrench" symbol displayed on dash. Per owner's guide the rtt displays when engine has defaulted to "limp-home" operation or when transmission problem has been detected.. The light comes on every time vehicle is driving now, and stays on entire time.

I have a 2013 6.7 diesel. It goes through the exhaust filter cleaning about every 200 miles. After this process starts the engine runs extremely rough, like it's ready to drop out. There is also a very loud knocking noise and violent shaking while I drive. Yes, it's more than just the typical diesel clatter.

Brought my 2011 ford f350 diesel truck into certified ford dealer to have oil change came back with a ticking noise, brought the truck back to dealer and they stated that this noise happens to the 6.7 diesel engines after a oil change.. I have bought my truck to many other places and have had the oil changed and I have never had this happen.. I am expected to have this noise for the rest of my ownership of this truck, if ford knows of this problem they need to find away to fix it!!

Consumer took vehicle to a dealership due to loss of power and unknown ticking noise from the engine. This had been a problem twice since the 3,000 mile checkup. Dealership cleaned the engine, and returned the vehicle. Dealership states noise was normal, and should not affect the engine's performance. Took vehicle back to dealer, and was told that the engine blew out. Another mechanic looked at the engine, and found the spark plugs were improperly installed. Consumer was aware of other complaints on the federal safety agency's website. *ak the conumer stated that the exhaust sounded like it had a leak.

I bought my truck in feb. Of '99 and change the oil and filter every 3000 mi.. I use motorcraft parts and I only use the truck for hauling soda drinks for my business. Needless to say, the truck is still like brand new!! From the very beginning,the engine would develop a slight knocking about 10 to 20 seconds after initial start-up in morning. As the miles increased, so did the length of time the knock took to go away. The knock has gotten louder and longer and the dealer where I took it on sat. 3/17/2001, told me I need new motor!!
