2016 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

THERE WAS A BLACK DUALLY FORD F250 THAT WAS TRADED IN ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO CARMAX OR CARVANA. THE REGISTERED OWNER WAS (XXXXX) FROM SANTA MARIA, CA BUT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO TRANSPORT CARS BY (YYYYY)B/D 3/3/82 OWNER OF WHITE LIGHTENING TRANSPORT LLC. THIS TRUCK HAD WELL OVER 300K MILES AND MR (YYYYY) HAD THE MILAGE TURNED BACK AT LEAST THREE TIMES. I BELIEVE IT STATED ABOUT 37K AT TRADE IN. HE MET THE DEALER ON 166 AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO PROGRAM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RIGHT BEFORE TRADING IT IN. I AM NOT SURE OF THE TRADE IN DATE OR VINDICATION BUT I'M POSITIVE THE MILEAGE WAS TURNED BACK 3 TIMES THAT I AM AWARE OF. HE TOOK IT FOR OIL CHANGES AND NEW TIRES SO SOMEWHERE HE HAD TO SLIP UP AND THE MILEAGE WAS LOGGED. NOT POSITIVE OF THE TRADE IN DATE BUT IT WAS RECENT PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

DEATH WOBBLE- 2016 FORD F-250 IS EXPERIENCING THE DEATH WOBBLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60MPH. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM, THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THERE IS NO TSB FROM FORD RECOGNIZING THE 2016 HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE PARTS IN THE FRONT END THAT FORD SAYS TO ON MODELS THAT EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH ALL THESE VEHICLE AND FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP THE CONSUMER. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 TO FIX THIS AND IT'S NOT FIXED YET.

BACKUP CAMERA AND BRAKE LIGHTS INOPERABLE/INTERMITTENT DUE TO WATER IN ORIGINAL FORD WIRING HARNESS PIGTAILS, LOCATED ON UNDERSIDE EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE. WARRANTY SHOWS ALL WIRING HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS AS COVERED. SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY PURCHASED FORD PREMIUM ESP WARRANTY UP TO 100,000 MILES ON ODOMETER, BUT WORK TO FIX THE ISSUES ARE BEING REFUSED BY FORD SERVICE DEPT BECAUSE OF "WATER INTRUSION", DESPITE BEING EXPOSED TO ROAD RAIN WATER. CALLED FORD WARRANTY CLAIMS DEPARTMENT AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT MY EMAIL THE NEXT DAY (IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS) ON POSSIBLE WARRANTY RESOLUTION. FORD WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR MEANWHILE, WHICH I REFUSED. NOW, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK ONLY PART OF THE TIME (COME ON AND STAY ON FOR PERIODS OF TIME), THE BACKUP CAMERA IS PREVENTING ME FROM SEEING ANYTHING BEHIND ME. I'M AFRAID OF BEING REAR-ENDED OR BACKING INTO ANYTHING OR ANYONE. ALSO, FORD MADE ME PAY THE $100 WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE DESPITE WORK NOT BEING RESOLVED. AND, ORIGINAL WIRING HARNESS WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE IS NOW DANGLING UNDER THE TRUCK AS THE TECH BROKE ALL OF THE PIECES THAT ATTACH THE WIRING IN PLACE TO THE VEHICLE.

AT 82000 MILES HAD A SHIMMING IN THE FRONT END OCCUR. WAS NOT ALWAYS PRESENT WHILE DRIVING BUT AT TIMES THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD START SHAKING MAKING IT HARD TO MAINTAIN IN THE ROAD.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT HOME AND NOT RUNNING. ENGINE BLOCK HEATER WAS PLUGGED IN. SOME TIME WITHIN AN HOUR OF PLUGGING THE BLOCK HEATER IN THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS EXTENSIVE ENOUGH TO CALL THE FIRE DEPT. INSURANCE COMPANY DECLARED TRUCK A TOTAL LOSS WITH NO CAUSE OF THE FIRE DETERMINED

I BOUGHT A NEW F250 SD 6.7L IN 2016. IT HAS 53,000M ON IT. JAN 2019 REDUCTANT HEATER FAILED, FORD WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. FORTUNATELY MY EXT WARRANTY DID AFTER $100 DEDUCTABLE. FEB 2019 MY TRUCK WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS IT GAVE THE DASH WARNING : CHIMING SOUND, NO OIL PRESSURE, HIGH TEMP, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, AIR BAG, BATTERY, AND AFTER STOPPING NOTHING WAS OVERHEATING, AND OIL WAS AT PROPER LEVEL IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT LOCKED THE STARTING SYSTEM OUT. TOWED TO SHOP, WAITED 6 HRS THEN SHOP SAID IT WAS FROM SUSPECTED CORRODED BCM CONNECTOR. THE SHOP TURNED THAT IN TO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY DECLINED THE CLAIM DUE TO CORROSION. FORD HAS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT HAPPENING BUT REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT. $1000 REPAIR BILL+ $130.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. THEY ARE NOT EVEN SURE IT WAS CORROSION, BUT SUSPECTS THE BCM CORRODED CONNECTOR. THEY RESET THE CODES, TEST DROVE IT AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD PRODUCT AGAIN.

CODE P20BA, REDUCTANT HEATER IN DEF TANK. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT FORD DID NOT INCLUDE MY YEAR MODEL IN THE WARRANTY RECALL. $1050.00 TO REPAIR. I SEE ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 50 MPH AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER FOR THE DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. BAYTOWN FORD (4110 I-10, BAYTOWN, TX) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

HAD 2 SETS OF THESE TIRES INSTALLED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO EXCESSIVE VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSED BY SEPARATION OF THE TREAD PLIES WITHIN THE TIRE.

MY TRUCK, WITH 41,000 MILES , IS SUFFERING WHATS BEING REFERRED TO ONLINE AS THE " DEATH WOBBLE ". THE SYMPTOMS BEGAN AT AROUND 21,000 MILES AND IT HAS GROWN STEADILY WORSE. IT HAPPENS WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINTS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, FORCING ME TO SLOW TO APPROX 20 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL, WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM NEW SAID IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM AND MAY NOT EVEN BE COVERED UNDER MY ADDITIONALLY PURCHASED 10 YEAR 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS ESSENTIALLY UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND MY WIFE WONT EVEN RIDE IN IT. FORD IS IGNORING A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT , PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY BEEN HURT , SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED! PLEASE HELP!! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR TUEDAY , 10-23-18. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT ANY WORK THEY DO MAY BE ON MY DIME , WHICH JUST BLOWS MY MIND. AGAIN , PLEASE INTERJECT INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED AND TO SAVE THE BUYERS FROM HAVING TO PAY FORD TO ADDRESS THIS OBVIOUS ENGINEERING MISTAKE.
