TO DATE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 5 TIMES FOR EMISSION WORK. TROUBLE CODES INCLUDE, I DON'T HAVE THE PAPERWORK YET FOR ALL INCIDENTS, P207F, P20EE & P2200. PRIOR TO THIS IT WAS IN 1 TIME UNDER RECALL FOR AN EMISSIONS SYSTEM "FLASH." OUT OF SERVICE TIME HAS TO BE AROUND 3+ WEEKS AT (NOT BUSINESS DAYS) THIS POINT WITH ADDITIONAL TIME SITTING AT HOME WAITING FOR SHOP SPACE TO OPEN UP. THE POWERTRAIN ON THIS VEHICLE IS STOCK AND HAS NEVER BEEN MODIFIED. REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN AT THE REGIONAL REPS DIRECTION AND NOT WHAT THE SERVICE TECH'S WANTED. MY FEELING IS THAT RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE PARTS ARE BEING "THROWN" AT THIS WITH NO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM. *TR

THE 2011 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY (GAS, NOT DIESEL) HAS AN ISSUE THAT OCCURS DURING FUELING. THE VENTING THAT OCCURS DURING FUELING THAT ALLOWS FUEL TO FLOW FREELY INTO THE FUEL TANK IS NOT ADEQUATE. WITH THE 2011 F350, THE FUEL BUILDS IN THE PIPE LEADING FROM THE FUEL NOZZLE PORT TO THE TANK AND THEN CAUSES THE FUEL NOZZEL TO SHUT OFF PREMATURELY. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS OFTEN AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS SPRAYED OUT OF THE FUEL NOZZLE PORT. *TR

BROUGHT MY 2011 FORD F350 DIESEL TRUCK INTO CERTIFIED FORD DEALER TO HAVE OIL CHANGE CAME BACK WITH A TICKING NOISE, BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THIS NOISE HAPPENS TO THE 6.7 DIESEL ENGINES AFTER A OIL CHANGE.. I HAVE BOUGHT MY TRUCK TO MANY OTHER PLACES AND HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN.. I AM EXPECTED TO HAVE THIS NOISE FOR THE REST OF MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS TRUCK, IF FORD KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM THEY NEED TO FIND AWAY TO FIX IT!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000. *TR

AFTER HITTING VERY SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT 50MPH, THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL WAS TO SLOW TO ABOUT 30MPH, VERY DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, ALWAYS STARTING WITH SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD, LEFT FRONT WHEEL, CAUSING THE VIOLENT SHAKING. VEHICLE CONTROL COULD ONLY BE REGAINED BY SLOWING TO ABOUT 30MPH. *TR

CHUNKS OF THE TREAD ARE COMING OFF OF THE TIRE. THIS DEFECT WAS NOTICED WHILE HAVING MY TRUCK SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO VISIT A TIRE STORE THAT SOLD MICHELIN TIRES TO GET THEM RELPACED. WHEN I WENT TO THE TIRE STORE AND THEY CONTACTED MICHELIN. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD GIVE ME A 30% DISCOUNT ON NEW TIRES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK NEW AND HAVE APPROX 23K MILES ON THESE TIRES. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THESE TIRES. I AM AFFRAID THAT THIS MY CAUSE A BLOW OUT OR A AUTO ACCIDENT AND DONT WANT TO SEE ANYONE INJURED BECAUSE MICHELIN DOSNT WANT TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE U-BOLTS WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE STEERING SHOCK ABSORBER WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TORQUE BAR AND THE TWO FRONT SHOCKS WERE REPLACED ON SUBSEQUENT VISITS. LATER, THE TIRES WERE ROTATED BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE MECHANIC THEN DEFLATED THE TIRES. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TIRES WERE THEN OVER INFLATED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE WOBBLE WAS NORMAL AND OFFERED NO OTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED.

ACCORDING TO FORD THE TRUCK'S FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. THEY SAID IT WAS BACK ORDERED. 1100 TRUCKS AFFECTED. I DON'T BELIEVE FORD IS SUPPLYING THE WHOLE STORY ON THE ISSUE AND THEIR IS A LOT MORE TO IT. FORD IS HIDING SOMETHING AND YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO IT. I FORTUNATELY WAS IN A SAFE PLACE WHEN THE PUMP WENT OUT BUT OTHERS MAY NOT BE. *TR
