2011 FORD F-250 Complaints

VEHICLE DEVELOPED VIOLENT, RESONANT SHAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. REDUCTION TO 40 MPH WAS REQUIRED TO REGAIN VEHICLE CONTROL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE CLAMP USED TO SECURE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE LEADING TO THE FUEL INJECTOR FRACTURED CAUSING A FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE FRACTURED CLAMP WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 60 MPH A MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE DISPLAY SAYING "STOP WHEN SAFE". WHILE TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD THE ENGINE DIED AND LEFT ME WITH NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING. HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. WOULD NOT RESTART. TRUCK WEIGHS 8300 POUNDS. 1 HOUR PRIOR I WAS GOING OVER A STEEP MOUNTAIN PASS. HALF AN HOUR LATER I WAS IN 100+ DEGREE DESERT WITH NO CELL SERVICE. EITHER ONE COULD HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE ENDING. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED.

WE HAVE HAD ABOUT FOUR OCCASIONS WHERE OUR TRUCK SUDDENLY BEGINS TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE, CANNOT CONTROL THE SHIMMY UNTIL YOU CAN SLOW IT DOWN UNDER 30 MPH. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES AT ABOUT 33,000 MILES. TWO TIMES IT WAS COMING OFF BRIDGE, HITTING A STEEL CHANNEL AT THE JUNCTION AND ONE TIME A LARGE HOLE. ALL THREE TIMES IT WAS ONE WHEEL HITTING THE HOLE OR DEPRESSION BEFORE THE OTHER WHEEL HIT. WE TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP.....NO IDEAS THERE. THEY REBALANCED THE LEFT TIRE AND NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN COMING OFF A BRIDGE. ABOUT 38,000 MILES AND IT WAS THE SAME THING. CANNOT CONTROL THE SHIMMY UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS SLOWED TO ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. MOST FRIGHTENING! I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL THIS IS FIGURED OUT! BIG, OUT-OF-CONTROL TRUCK IS NOT MY CUP OF TEA.

AFTER ENGINE IS WARMED UP, WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN, THERE IS A FEW SECONDS, 3 TO 5, THAT THE TRUCK WILL NOT SPEED UP. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN SLOW DOWN AND SPEED UP TRAFFIC. IF YOU ARE TURNING LEFT THE SPEED UP TIME CAN BE 3 TO 8 SECONDS. I HAVE CARRIED TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD AT THESE TIMES THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE WHAT I HAVE TOLD THEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT SEVERAL, SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS STEEL NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED THAT I WILL BE IN A ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 60 MPH THE DASH STARTING CHIMING AND GAVE ME A STOP SAFELY NOW MESSAGE. I SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT ABOUT 5 MPH THE TRUCK SHUT OFF, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FADED. I WAS BARELY OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND MY ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE TRUCK AND GET IT FURTHER OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFER SPOT WERE NOT ALLOWED BY THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. I HAD THE TRUCK HAULED TO A NEARBY FORD DEALER AND AFTER COOLING OFF ALL NIGHT THE TRUCK WOULD RESTART. THE LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO TROUBLE WITH HIS DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER SO HE SUGGESTED I TRAVEL TO ANOTHER DEALER. HE FELT I COULD MAKE IT THERE WITH THE TRUCK. I WENT TO THE MOTEL WHERE MY WIFE AND I HAD TO SPEND THE NIGHT TO PICK HER UP, A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 1-2 MILES. WE LOADED OUR BELONGS UP INTO THE TRUCK, I RESTARTED IT AND STARTED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND IT REPEATED THE STOP SAFELY NOW WARNING AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF IMMEDIATELY SEEING MY SPEED WAS UNDER 5 MPH. I WAS HALFWAY OUT OF THE SPACE AND WAS STUCK THERE. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE IT HELPED IN THE MOTEL PARKING LOT AS OPPOSED TO JUST AS I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC.. AT THE NEXT DEALERSHIP THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD EGT TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *TR
