2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

LED HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT SCREW DOES NOT WORK. WHEN ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY ARE SHINING TOO HIGH. THE HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT SCREW TURNS BUT THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ADJUST UP AND DOWN. THE HEADLIGHT ARE TOO HIGH AND BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THEM. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY THE PROBLEM.

I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AFTER I NOTICED THE TPMS WAS MALFUNCTIONING AFTER ABOUT 4,000 MILES AND 3 MONTHS OF OPERATION. THE TPMS ORIGINALLY SHOWED A DRAMATIC FAULT IN ONE TIRE, BUT LATER SHOWED FAULTS IN THREE. THE READINGS CHANGED CONTINUALLY FROM TIRE TO TIRE AND SOMETIMES WERE AS LOW AS 40 PSI IN SOME TIRES. THE DEALER REPLACED 1 SENSOR BUT COULD NOT GET THE TPMS TO CALIBRATE. I RETURNED THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE DEALER OBTAINED TWO MORE NEW SENSORS. AFTER THE TWO NEW SENSORS WERE INSTALLED IN TRUCK WHEELS, THE TPMS STILL WOULD NOT CALIBRATE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW SENSOR IN THE REMAINING WHEEL AND WAS THEN ABLE TO CALIBRATE THE TPMS. THE DEALER BELIEVES THAT ALL FOUR SENSORS FAILED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES AND THREE MONTHS. THE DEALER SAID THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAD "MOISTURE" INSIDE WHEN THEY INSTALLED NEW SENSORS AND ASKED ME IF I HAD USED A PERSONAL AIR COMPRESSOR TO ADD AIR PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. I RESPONDED THAT I HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THE AIR PRESSURE BEFORE THE FIRST FAILURE AND ONLY CHECKED ALL FOUR TIRES FOR AIR PRESSURE AFTER THE SYSTEM SHOWED A PROBLEM. WHEN CHECKING ALL FOUR TIRES AFTER THE FAILURE I MAY HAVE ADDED A POUND OR TWO TO EACH TO BRING ALL UP TO THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. I HAVE SINCE CHECKED MY COMPRESSOR AND IT DID NOT EXPEL ANY WATER AFTER DRAINING. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THE FINAL SERVICE REPORT FROM THE DEALER, AS AFTER 4 HOURS OF WAITING FOR RESOLUTION, I WAS IN A HURRY TO GET HOME. OBVIOUSLY, ALL IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE/LATCH. TEMP. WAS LOW 20'S THIS MORNING AND WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DRIVER'S DOOR IT WOULD NOT LATCH. I HAD TO SLAMMED THE DOOR 10 OR 12 TIMES BEFORE THE DOOR WOULD LATCH CLOSE. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEMS THE F-150 HAS BEEN HAVING.

FORD SENT NOTICE OF RECALL, BUT HAS NO SOLUTION AS OF THIS DATE OR A TARGET TIMEFRAME FOR RESOLUTION.

I JUST PURCHASED A NEW 2017 VEHICLE FROM TOM MASANO AND THEY HAVE BEEN HOUNDING ME TO COME BACK TO THEM FOR A RECALL AND THEY ARE 2 HRS AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE. I JUST HAD A NEW BABY AND THIS IS A HUGE LOGISTICAL ISSUE WITH WORKING TOO NOW. PLUS DRIVING THE NEW VEHICLE DOWN THERE WOULD BE ADDITIONAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TRUCK, EVEN IF THEY OFFERED TO DRIVE IT DOWN THERE. I DID SOME FURTHER RESEARCH AS IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME AS TO WHY I WAS BEING TOLD I HAD TO BRING IN A VEHICLE TO THEIR DEALERSHIP AND I DISCOVERED THAT TOM MASANO FORD IS IN VIOLATION OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT ENFORCED BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA). THE DEALERSHIP CAN BE SUBJECT TO FINES BY THE NHTSA FOR SELLING VEHICLES WITHOUT PROPERLY FIXING RECALLS, LIKE THIS ONE THAT WAS RELEASED ON APRIL 1ST PRIOR TO WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE (PURCHASED IN JULY). OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN AT RISK FOR WEEKS. IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER IT UP BY NOT "MARKING THE VEHICLE AS SOLD IN FORD'S INVENTORY" UNTIL THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED- WHICH THEY STATED WILL PREVENT ME FROM GETTING IT SERVICED LOCALLY. I AM ASSUMING THEY HAVEN'T MARKED IT OUT OF INVENTORY YET BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET IN TROUBLE LEGALLY OR WITH FORD- AS I AM SURE THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEIR BEST PRACTICES AND THEY WOULD BE ALARMED TO KNOW THIS IS OCCURRING. I HAVE THIS DOCUMENTED IN VOICEMAILS AND EMAILS THEM TELLING ME I HAVE TO GO TO THEM ONLY TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. I FINALLY CALLED A LOCAL DEALER MYSELF TO PROPERLY HAVE THE ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF, BUT THEY DELAYED THIS WITH BAD INFORMATION FOR OVER A WEEK. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE TRUCK ROLLING WHILE IN PARK.

TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER THE FACTORY TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN A TRAILER WITH ELECTRIC SERVICE BRAKES IS PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE TRUCK. THE CONTROLLER HAS ABOUT A 30 SECOND DELAY AND DOES NOT PUSH ENOUGH ELECTRICITY TO THE TRAILER BRAKES TO ENGAGE THEM FULLY. THIS RESULTS IN LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE FOR THE TRUCK AND TRAILER COMBINATION, POSSIBLE BRAKE FAILURE FOR THE TRUCK DUE TO OVERLOADING OF THE BRAKES WHICH, COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD MY TRAILER BRAKES CHECKED BY A PROFESSIONAL. THEY ARE PERFORMING AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO. I HAVE CONTACTED MY FORD DEALER AND HE ASSURES ME THAT MY FACTORY CONTROLLER IS WORKING AS IT SHOULD. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. I STILL HAVE A TRAILER THAT IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH ELECTRICITY TO APPLY THE BRAKES.

MOTORCRAFT FL-2051-S OIL FILTERS ARE LEAKING DO TO IMPROPER MANUFACTURE, CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO LOSE ALL OIL. I HAVE HAD 2 FILTERS AND BOTH LEAK. THEY LEAK AROUND THE ROLLED TOP OF THE CAN. I HAVE MORE THAN ONE PICTURE. THIS IS ON THE 6.7 DIESEL ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NEEDS A NEW DEF PUMP ON 200 MILES. FORD DOES NOT HAVE THE PART. NEW TRUCK HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS.
