2015 FORD F-350 SD Complaints

EXHAUST FLUID MESSAGE ON DASH THAT SPEED WILL BE LIMITED TO IN 50 MILES. WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW JUG OF BLUE DEF. IT TOOK 2 GALLONS TO FILL TO RUNNING OVER. THEN BEFORE I GOT TO THE KENAI, AK DEALER, IT SAYS ENGINE WILL IDLE UPON RESTART. THE KENAI, AK DEALER SAID UP AND DOWN STREAM NOX SENSORS HAD FAILED AND RESET THE CODES. 15 MILES LATER, I GET AND "EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILURE" ENGINE WILL IDLE SOON. MADE IT HOME(40 MILES AT 10PM AND RAINING) THEN IT SAYS ENGINE IDLED, CHECK OPERATOR MANUAL. BASICALLY IT THINKS MY DEF TANK IS EMPTY, BUT IT HAS ONLY 75 MILES ON A COMPLETELY FULL TANK.

2015 F350 6.7 DIESEL WITH 46,000 MILES THAT IS DOWN BECAUSE HPOP IS DEFECTIVE AND SPREADING MEDAL THROUGH SYSTEM. FORD HAS INSPECTED AND SAID IT IS BECAUSE OF WATER IN FUEL, EVEN THOUGH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CODES ARE AVAILABLE. FORD PULLED SENSORS OUT OF ENGINE AND REJECTED REPAIR BECAUSE OF TARNISH ON SENSORS. THE ONLY CODES WERE FOR (LOW FUEL PRESSURE & REDUCED POWER). NO OTHER CODES. INITIAL INSPECTION REVEALED ABOUT 3/4 INCH OF WATER IN WATER SEPARATOR BUT NO LIGHT OR CODE. THE WARNINGS OCCURRED WHEN TRUCK WAS STARTED AND IT RAN ABOUT 100 FT BEFORE BEING SHUTDOWN AND TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM SINCE FORD OFFERS A REPAIR KIT FOR THIS ISSUE. TOTAL COST OF REPAIR IS BETWEEN $9500,00 & $12,500 DOLLARS AND THIS ON A TRUCK WHICH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THAT FORD WILL NOT HONOR. THE TRUCK WASN'T A YEAR OLD UNTIL MAY 2016 AND HAS BEEN DOWN FOR OVER FOUR MONTHS BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT REPAIR. THIS IS THE BOSCH C4 SERIES PUMP. *BF *TR *DT CONSUMER STATED HE HAD THE TRUCK REPAIRED AND HE SOLD IT. *JB

I HAVE A F350 2015 VEHICLE, HAVING AN ENGINE KNOCK NOISE AND HESITATION PROBLEMS RIGHT AFTER THE ENGINE KNOCKS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE CONCERNS FIVE TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO CALIFORNIA REGULATIONS. THERE IS A TSB TO THE CONCERN THAT I AM HAVING, BUT I DON'T THINK MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE THE HEADS REBUILT SINCE I JUST PURCHASED IT BACK IN DEC 2015. WHAT IS THE STATE DOING TO HAVE THIS CONCERN RESOLVE? I BROUGHT IT IN TWO DAYS AGO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SINCE AFTER THE 4TH TIME OF THE ENGINE KNOCKED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEY ENDED UP REPLACING A SENSOR. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND ON MY WAY HOME, THE ENGINE KNOCKS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM WAITING ON FMC TO CALL ME AND TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO NOW. THE VEHICLE HAS TWO OTHER PROBLEMS A WINDSHIELD NOISE AT 60 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR ON WINDY DAYS. THEY RESEALED THE WINDSHIELD THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THEY ARE TELLING ME, THAT UNLESS THEY DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I SHOWED THEM A VIDEO THAT I RECORDED DURING THE CONCERN HAPPENING, BUT THEY ARE IGNORING IT. I SHOWED THEM A VIDEO THAT SOMEONE ELSE POSTED ON YOU TUBE SAME CONCERN. HOWEVER, SINCE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT IS THEIR ANSWER. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM OF THE TRANSMISSION, HARSH SHIFT AS SLOW SPEEDS SAME THING CAN'T DUPLICATE IS WHAT THE WORK ORDER FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATES. WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE LOOKED AT FOR THE CONCERNS I AM HAVING? IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

I WAS ON A VACATION TRIP TO DAYTONA BEACH FL. FROM THE DALLAS, TX AREA. I HAVE A DUAL AXLE RV. THIS BRAND NEW TIRE (TOWMAX) ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY RV HAD LESS THAN 700 MILES ON IT WHEN IT EXPLODED. I WAS TRAVELING AT NO MORE THAN 65MPH. THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED BEFORE I LEFT AND IT WAS AT 80PSI. THE SECOND TIRE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY RV HAD LESS THAN 1100 MILES WHEN IT EXPLODED. WE COULD HEAR THE EXPLOSION IN THE CAB OF MY TRUCK. WE HAD NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR MORE THAN 20 MILES. AGAIN THE SPEED WAS NO MORE THAN 65MPH AND THE TIRE PRESSURES WERE CHECKED AT 80PSI BEFORE I LEFT. I ALSO HAD TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS ON THE TIRES. IF THE SECOND TIRE ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE FAILED TIRE HAD BLOWN, IT WOULD HAVE ROLLED THE RV. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-350 SD EQUIPPED WITH GENERAL GRABBER HTS TIRES, SIZE 245/75R17 (NA). WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE INSIDE OF ONE OF THE TIRES WAS FLAT. THE TIRE WAS REMOVED AND TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

DURING REGENERATION OF THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER THE TRUCK LOSES POWER AND OPERATES ROUGHLY. THIS LAST OCCURRED AS I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY DURING SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS COULD HAVE VERY EASILY RESULTED IN LOSS OF TRACTION AND/OR COLLISION AS I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO SPEED.

ENGINE STOPPED ONCE IN THE ROAD PULLING A 40 FT.R.V. .INTERMINTLEY SEVERE LOSS OF POWER AND TRYING TO OVERHEAT. COMEING DOWN A 7200 FT. MOUNTAIN I LOST THE R.V. BRAKES,ENGINE BRAKES & THE TOW HAUL MODE (TO HELP SLOW DOWN) ALL I HAD WAS THE TRUCK BRAKES GOING AROUND 80 M.P.H. BY THE TIME I GOT STOPPED ALL 4 WHEELS WERE SMOKEING COOKING THE RELATED PARTS, ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS,WHEEL BEARINGS IN MY OPINION.LATER IN A TOWN GOING SLOW AND STOPPING THE BRAKES PULLED VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT, A FEW MORE TRAFFIC LIGHTS THEN VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT. FAILING TO CLEAN THE DIESEL EXHAUST FILTER AS NEEDED. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS COME ON ONE TIME WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE. 3 ATTEMPS TO FIX THE ENGINE PROBLEMS AND IN MY MIND IT IS NOT FIXED YET, MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED AT HIGHER ALTITUDES. ALL THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE IN THE TRUCKS BLACK BOX, SINCE I COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED TWICE I HAVE NOT LET THE DEALER HAVE THE TRUCK AGAIN AS IT IS RUNNING O.K. NOW AND I HAVE ORDERED A NEW TRUCK BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THIS TRUCK. THE DATES ARE APPROXIMATE, THE DEALERS AND I HAVE A COPY OF THE REPAIR ATTEMPS . I WAS ON THE SAME ROADS TWO YEARS AGO WITH A 2011 F-250 SAME ENGINE AND A HEAVER LOAD AND DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.

EPISODES OF VIOLENT SHAKING AND POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE DURING REGENARATION. THIS HAS BEEN A ON GOING ISSUE. FORD CLAIMS IT IS CAUSE BY THE COMPUTER AND A REPROGRAM WILL BE OUT IN MARCH 2016. I FEEL THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE SPECIALLY ON ICY ROADS.

AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT 50-55 MILES PER HOUR WHEN "CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER" MESSAGE COMES ON, THE ENGINE WILL SHAKE AND KNOCK VIOLENTLY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND AM UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE FOUR FLAT TIRES AND IT IS VERY VIOLENT. FORD SAID THIS IS NORMAL, I KNOW IT'S NOT. WE LIVE ON VERY NARROW AND WINDING ROADS IN THE MOUNTAINS. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THIS HAPPENS ON SNOWY OR ICY ROADS CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE WILL BE VERY HAD TO CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THE DATE BELOW IS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, MILEAGE WAS 6,865. THIS FIRST HAPPENED AT ABOUT 4500 MILES. SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT ABOUT 400-600 MILES.

THE VEHICLE IS A DIESEL, AND WHEN IT ENTERS REGEN MODE TO CLEAN THE EXHAUST FILTER APP. ONE MINUTES AFTERWARD THE ENGINE ROUGHS VERY ROUGH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THIS CONTINUES FOR 2-3 MINUTES. THE TRUCK REMAINS RUNNING, BUT WILL PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AT ALL RESULTS IN BUCKING AND SHAKING UNTIL I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL. THE ISSUE BEGAN AT AROUND 2500-3000 MILES, AND THERE ARE CURRENTLY 8400 ON THE TRUCK. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE EXHAUST FILTER IS CLEANED.
