2015 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

2015 FORD F-250. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION TIRE PRESSURE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY FORD TO KEEP THE TIRES AT 80 PSI FOR THE REAR AND 65 PSI FOR THE FRONT, EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES WERE IDENTICAL. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THE FRONT TIRES, WERE UNDER-INFLATED. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING; HOWEVER, THE DETAILS OF THE DIAGNOSIS COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED A MANUAL REGENERATION ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,300. UPDATED 02/12/16*LJ *CN

DURING THE EPA MANDATED EXHAUST REGENERATION CYCLE THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUDDER UNCONTROLLABLY ALONG WITH POWER LOSS. THIS BEHAVIOR BEGAN AT AROUND 5,500 MILES AND NOW DOES IT AT LEAST EVERY OTHER EXHAUST REGENERATION. IT HAPPENS ON MULTIPLE LANE COUNTRY ROADS AND CITY ROADS AT AROUND 50 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR. IT SEEMS MORE SPECIFIC TO THE REGENERATION CYCLE THAN ANY OTHER DRIVING CONDITION OR INPUT. TEMPERATURE IS BETWEEN 40 AND 70 DEGREES OUTSIDE SO FAR. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS IS WORSE THAN THE LAST. THE EXPERIENCE IS SCARY AND COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I NO LONGER LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT IT MAY SHUDDER HER OFF THE HIGHWAY.

I HAVE A 2015 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY WITH A 6.7L DIESEL. I STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY AND ONLY NOTICED IT ON HOT DAYS WHILE AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT HAPPENED WITH EVERY RE-GEN, AT ANY OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AND ALMOST ANY SPEED. IT ALL STARTS WITH THE NOTIFICATION ON THE SCREEN OF CLEARING THE EXHAUST FILTER AND HAS AN OK IN THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN. NOT SURE WHY THE OK, SINCE YOU HAVE NO CHOICE ON WHETHER TO START THE PROCESS OR NOT. DURING THE RE-GEN PROCESS THE ENGINE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION, LOOSES POWER, STARTS TO SHAKE AND SHUTTER SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT SHAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO PUT THE THROTTLE TO THE FLOOR. IF I LET OFF THE THROTTLE IT STARTS OVER AGAIN. THE TWO SAFETY CONCERNS THAT IT CAUSES ARE THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND MY TRUCK SUDDENLY SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT ANY BRAKE LIGHTS TO WARN DRIVERS BEHIND ME (I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED LAST TIME IT HAPPENED IN TOWN) AND SECONDLY, HAVING TO KEEP THE THROTTLE ON THE FLOOR TO STOP THE PROBLEM AND THE SPEED THE TRUCK OBTAINS WHEN DOING SO. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I CANNOT STEP ON THE THROTTLE BECAUSE OF THE SPEED LIMIT, TRAFFIC OR ROAD CONDITIONS, AND AM FORCED TO PULL OVER IF THERE IS AN AREA TO SO, IF NOT I KEEP CHUGGING ALONG HOLDING UP TRAFFIC UNTIL I CAN. I HAVE NOT PULLED A TRAILER AS OF YET, BUT QUITE FRANKLY AN AFRAID TO DO SO WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR FEAR OF BEING REAR-ENDED. IT OCCURS AT SPEEDS FROM 30 TO 70 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED IN TOWN ON RURAL ROADS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS BEEN INTO FORD SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME IT WAS AT FORD, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL BE COMING OUT WITH A SOFTWARE REVISION, BUT NOT UNTIL APRIL OF 2016. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEN.

2015 POWERSTROKE 6.7 DIESEL ENGINE HAS <15,000 MILES. HAMMERING OF ENGINE AT ALL SPEEDS. LASTING LESS THAN 8-10 SECONDS IN DURATION. ACCORDING TO TSB 15-0124 THIS IS A VALVE AND VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE ISSUE THAT FORD APPEARS WELL AWARE OF. RECOMMENDING MAJOR ENGINE WORK TO POSSIBLY FIX DESIGN FLAWS. THE LOSS OF POWER DURING OPERATION IS DANGEROUS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS ISSUE. POWERSTROKE FORUMS ACROSS COUNTRY SHOWING THIS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE 2015 6.7 DIESEL ENGINE WITH PROBLEMS STARTING AS EARLY AS 4,000 MILES.

MY 2015 F250 STARTED VIBRATING AND SHAKING DURING REGEN A LITTLE AFTER 4100 MILES ON THE MOTOR. I DRIVE THE TRUCK 85% OF THE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AT LEAST 45-60 MINUTES TO WORK. FORDS STANCE ORIGINALLY IS THAT THIS IS NORMAL!?! THEY HAVE NOW RELEASED A TSB STATING THAT THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE AND THAT A FIX SHOULD BE OUT SOMETIME IN MARCH 2016 WITH A RECALIBRATION FOR THE DPF. IN THE MEANTIME MY TRUCKS VALVES ARE STICKING IN THE OPEN POSITION I'M SURE CAUSING ENGINE WEAR/DAMAGE (ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE). NOT SURE HOW A RECALIBRATION ON THE EMISSIONS ARE GOING TO FIX CRAPPY VALVE TO GUIDE CLEARANCES. FORD KNOWS THAT IT'S AN ISSUE WITH CURRENT 2015-2016. $60,000.00 RUINING LIKE CRAP, THANKS FORD!

THE VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH, SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND PINGS LOUDLY WHEN THE DIESEL ENGINE GOES THROUGH THE EXHAUST CLEANING PROCESS. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND REQUIRES 1-2 MINUTES TO RECOVER. THE CONDITION HAD OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BUT MAINLY WHEN TRAVELING 50-65 MPH ON MULTI LANE HIGHWAYS.

RE: 2015 F250 SOLD TO [XXX] VIN #[XXX] A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2015 F250 DIESEL, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING WRONG. WHEN TRAVELING AT A CONSTANT SPEED, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO KNOCK LOUDLY AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE. AFTER TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND COASTING FOR A SHORT PERIOD (THERE IS NO POWER TO ACCELERATE DURING THIS TIME), THE TRUCK SEEMED TO FUNCTION NORMAL AGAIN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES ON THE DASH. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT; LASTING LONGER AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE INTERRUPTS FLOW OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I HELD UP TRAFFIC GOING UP MS RIVER BRIDGE, AND THIS PAST INCIDENT LASTED FOR A 15 MILE STRETCH. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE....... INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL INSTANCES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN 60-70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK GOES INTO REGEN MODE I GET A LOUD VALVE CLATTER AND A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

EXHAUST REGENERATION CAUSES ENGINE SHAKE AND LOSS OF POWER. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN TOWING UPHILL AND A SEMI ALMOST TOOK OUT THE BACK OF MY TRAILER. FORD INDICATES THIS IS NORMAL, HOWEVER, IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN NEW. IT OCCURRED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 6,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE DEALER INDICATED THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE, SO I DON'T BELIEVE "NORMAL" APPLIES HERE. IF THIS IS "NORMAL," THEN FORD ENGINEERS NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
