While driving my 2017 Ford F-350 equipped with the 6R140 transmission, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete transmission failure due to a valve body malfunction. Without warning, the transmission lost all ability to engage gears, resulting in an immediate loss of power and drivability. This failure occurred while the vehicle was in motion, presenting a serious safety risk to both occupants and other motorists — especially in high-speed or high-traffic situations. The risk is further compounded when the vehicle is towing, as it may increase stopping distance, reduce control, and leave the driver stranded in unsafe conditions. This type of failure appears to be part of a broader pattern affecting this transmission platform, which raises significant concerns about its reliability and safe operation under normal usage. There were warning lights or other symptoms prior to the failure. The damage has since been remedied, with an astounding out of pocket cost of $8,300 for a total transmission rebuild.

When you start the vehicle the brake pedal falls to the floor and you can not stop it. Also at a stop the brake pedal slowly falls to the floor. According to the dealer they don’t know what causes this and it still does it. They said no ABS lights came on so this is normal. I don’t think it’s normal if I put it in reverse and can not get it to stop because the pedal recedes out of my reach. The truck kept going in reverse the brakes wouldn’t stop it.

Engine Shuts Off Upon Acceleration on the onramp to a interstate highway causing the Ford f350SD, 6.7L Diesel to come to a stop in the outside lane of Interstate I81. Engine Shutdown happened again on a 2 lane highway while passing a slow farm tractor. The problem has been confirmed by Harrisonburg Ford, Harrisonburg, VA. The high pressure fuel pump is causing metal to be distributed throughout fuel system. The complete contaminated fuel system is required to be replaced by a High Pressure Fuel Pump KIT, which the Dealer ordered against the workorder for my truck. For over a month now, My truck is parked in the dealer storage and stating they are waiting on approval to start repair. Note I have Ford's Extended Warranty. I've read online that many other owners of 6.7L Diesel trucks are having the same problems. I my opinion, a RECALL is certainly justified for this issue.

The plastic frame holding the rear cab glass has broken causing the glass to come loose making a concern of the glass falling into cab and injuring a passenger. This has been checked by both a Ford dealership/service center and Safelite glass. Both service providers indicate that there is not a repair for this it is a complete replacement of the window. I have been informed by Safelite that they have replaced many of these because the adhesive used during manufacturing does not properly adhere to the plastic frame/rail resulting in the failure. Furthermore, the replacement window has a different design, to eliminate this problem from reoccurring.
