2015 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN A MONTH. TWO TIME, WHEN HITTING A ROUGH SPOT IN THE PAVEMENT, THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO TURNS VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE LIKE IT IS GOING TO RIP YOUR HANDS OFF. SHAKING DOES NOT END UNTIL YOU DECELERATE SIGNIFICANTLY. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT ABOUT 45 MPH IN THE CITY ON A DECENT STREET. THE SECOND TIME WAS LAST NIGHT AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. IN BOTH CASES, IT DIDN'T TAKE A SIGNIFICANT BUMP TO CAUSE THE VIOLENT SHUDDER OR SHAKING. MANY, MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS. ONE SUGGESTION IS THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING DAMPER SHOCK.

WITHIN 60 SECONDS OF THE MESSAGE "CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER", THE 6.7L ENGINE BEGINS TO LOOSE POWER, VIBRATING, AND MAKING VERY LOUD CLANGING NOISES. ALL WHILE DRIVING AT 60-70 MPH, CAUSING A HUGE DECELERATION, DOWN TO 45 MPH IF GOING UP AN INCLINE, DUE TO LOSE OF POWER. THIS STARTED AT 7,000 MILES AND HAPPENS AT LEAST 1 PER TANK OF FUEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RADIO AND BLUETOOTH SYSTEM BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE RESET. ALSO, THE RADIO SWITCHES FAILED ON THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE SWITCHES WERE ACTIVE AND MORE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT WAS LATER INFORMED THAT THE HOUSING UNIT FOR THE STEERING COLUMN HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NEXT YEAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,200.

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 70 MPH AND CHANGING LANE I HITTING THE POTHOLE AND THE TRUCK START BOUNCING AND I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP THE BOUNCING VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAD A SAME TRUCK BACK IN 2005 WORKING FOR THE COMPANY WAS DOING SAME THING PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ?

EXHAUST CLEANING CYCLE CAUSES EXTREMELY ROUGH RUNNING CONDITIONS. SEVERE ENGINE KNOCKING SEEMS AS THOUGH A PISTON WILL FLY THROUGH THE HOOD SOON. SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER AT ANY SPEED DURING THIS TIME. BRAND NEW TRUCK PURCHASED FROM DEALERSHIP AND THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM PURCHASE POINT ALL THE WAY THROUGH 27500 MILES SO FAR. IN READING I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THAT EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

DURING REGEN CYCLE FOR DIESEL MOTOR, VEHICLE BEGINS TO MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE AND THEN BEGINS TO SHAKE, AND FINALLY GIVE FEELING OF LOSING POWER. BECAUSE OF THIS, FEARFUL THE VEHICLE COULD ENCOUNTER THIS SITUATION AT TIMES WHERE IT COULD POSE GREAT DANGER. THIS OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS. ISSUE WAS PREVIOUSLY "ADDRESSED" IN A BULLETIN FROM MANUFACTURER; HOWEVER, THERE IS MORE TO THIS CONDITION. WHAT VEHICLES DON'T IDLE OR DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME OR DON'T MAKE SHORT TRIPS? MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ON 8/15/16, BUT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE TWO MONTHS-- IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE IN LEI RATION AND FORCE. HAVE TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG-- THEY DIDN'T EVEN ACT LIKE THEY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE OCCURRING AND THEY DEFINITELY DID NOT MENTION THE PRECIOUS MANUFACTURE BULLETIN TSB 15-0088. HAVE BEGUN TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS AN UPDATE WAS TO OCCUR IN MARCH 2016, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY ISSUES? NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT CLOSELY TO ENSURE IT IS NOT A DESIGN FLAW OR WORSE.

TRUCK INTERMITTENTLY PULLS TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING, SOMETIMES HARD TO THE LEFT.IF NOT HOLDING STEERING WHEEL TIGHTLY COULD PULL INTO NEXT LANE.

THE TRUCK RUNS VERY ROUGH DURING A REGEN CYCLE. ENGINE KNOCKS AND CLATTERS WITH LOSS OF POWER.

ON INTERSTATE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, A VEHICLE CUT IN FRONT OF MY AND HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES VERY HARD (PANIC STOP). THE VEHICLE VEERED VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT AS SOON AS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND CROSSED THE YELLOW CENTER LINES. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO FORD SERVICE, TOOK SERVICE WRITER FOR A RIDE TO SHOW THEM WHAT IT DID UNDER SEVERE BRAKING. SAID THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM BUT THE END RESULT OF 2 WEEKS WAS IT'S A CHARACTERISTIC OF THAT VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID "THEY'RE NOT THROWING PARTS AT IT TO FIGURE IT OUT. VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE VERY SAME THING. SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A THIRD FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE VERY SAME OF BEING A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. AS A SIDE NOTE AT ALL OF THESE DEALERSHIPS, THE SERVICE WRITER I TOOK FOR A RIDE ALL AGREED THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT DO THIS. WAS ALSO PROMISED THEY WOULD CONTACT FORD ENGINEERING WHICH NOT ONE OF THEM DID. NORMAL DRIVING WITHOUT PANIC STOPS OR VERY HARD BRAKING, THE TRUCK STOPS STRAIGHT. ONLY WHEN THE ANTI-LOCKS CLICK IN DOES THIS PROBLEM OCCUR. WE DID CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP IN THIS SITUATION. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T MAKE THE DEALERSHIP FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AND THEY CAN'T MAKE FORD CALL THE FORD ENGINEERING DEPT. IT'S SOMETHING THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO DO. AGAIN, THEY DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 2015 F250 GAS SUPERDUTY AS THEY FOUND ONE OTHER ONE ON THEIR LOT THAT DID THE SAME THING. SO THIS SAFETY BRAKING PROBLEM IS NOT A CONCERN FOR FORD DEALERSHIPS THAT WE WENT TO AS IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRUCK NOR DO THEY DEEM IT NECESSARY TO CONTACT FORD ENGINEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BECAME TURBULENT, SHOOK, AND A KNOCKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PARK AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO STOP THE FAILURE FROM OCCURRING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE FAILURE DID NOT QUALIFY UNDER THE LEMON LAW. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.
