2017 FORD F-250 SD Complaints

Latch on drivers door won't latch and door will not stay closed sometimes when temperatures get below freezing

I own a 2017 Ford F-250 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel with a CP4 fuel pump that recently failed. Ford has already recalled this exact part for 2020-2022 models (Recall 24V-841) due to known defects, but they refuse to assist owners of earlier models like mine, even though the issue is the same. The CP4 failure can cause sudden fuel system failure, which is dangerous while driving. Ford should extend the recall to cover all affected vehicles before more owners are left with costly repairs or safety risks.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to turn in either direction. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle lost automotive power. The contact was able to veer over to the shoulder of the roadway; however, the vehicle failed to start and was towed to the residence. The message "Low Fuel Pressure" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the CP4 high-pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense. The local dealer was contacted and informed that the failure was a manufacturing defect; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. In addition, the vehicle was inspected at the scene by a certified Ford mechanic who determined there was metal shavings inside the fuel injector, fuel pump, and the fuel system was flushed. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V957000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 156,000.

On Tuesday, [XXX], at approximately [XXX] PM, I was driving southbound on [XXX] near Coalinga, CA, when my truck suddenly experienced a failure. I noticed smoke in the side mirror and asked my passenger to confirm. Moments later, a "Low Fuel Pressure" message appeared on the dashboard, and smoke began coming from the hood. I immediately pulled over and attempted to pop the hood, at which point flames erupted from the engine bay. The fire quickly spread, fully engulfing the vehicle within minutes. Emergency responders, including Cal-Fire and CHP, arrived on the scene. The truck was towed by Cal-State Towing Service in Huron, CA. The Fire Captain on site provided an incident card, but the full fire report is expected to take at least a week to obtain. There were no prior indications of mechanical issues before this incident, and no recent repairs or modifications to the fuel system or engine. However, I recently became aware of an ongoing NHTSA investigation into fuel leaks and fire risks in Ford Super Duty trucks equipped with the 6.7L diesel engine (TFL Truck Report). The investigation highlights a potential issue with fractures in the secondary fuel filter housing, which could lead to fuel leaks and fire hazards. Given that my truck displayed a Low Fuel Pressure warning immediately before catching fire, I strongly suspect this failure may be related to the issue under investigation. The truck is currently in tow yard storage and is available for inspection upon request. This incident posed a serious safety risk to myself, my father and others on the roadway, and I believe it warrants further examination by NHTSA.
