NHTSA Complaint #10351986 — 2010 FORD F-250 SD

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR AT LEAST 15-20 MINUTES, THEN WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTS ITSELF. ENGINE BEGINS TO HESITATE, SPUTTER, SHAKE AND LEADS TO A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND BEGINS TO BLOW TONS OF WHITE SMOKE, I , MEAN A CLOUD OF SMOKE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS HUMID OR RAINING OUT AND EVEN IN BETWEEN. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM DAY ONE. JUST PICTURE THIS SCENARIO PLAYING OUT, AS YOU ATTEMPT TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, PASSING OR GETTING ON A HIGHWAY, PULLING A TRAILER AND CLIMBING A HILL OR MOUNTAIN TOTALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF THE SAME CONDITION MANIFESTING ITSELF.THE EVIDENCE IS ON THE INTERNET DIESEL FORUMS AND BLOGS AND FORD SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION DOES NOT GENERATE ANY TROUBLE CODES OR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, WHAT A NIGHTMARE : VEHICLES AFFECTED ARE FORD F-250,350,450 ETC SUPERDUTY 6.4L DIESEL ENGINE IT IS A SHAME THAT YOU PAY UPWARDS OF $ 50,000.00 OR MORE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THEY ARE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND THE MANUFACTURER ONLY MAKES EXCUSES FOR AN OBVIOUS MODEL WIDE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM/ CONDITION HAS MANIFESTED OVER 25 TIMES IN MY VEHICLE IN ONLY 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. I AM SCARED TO PASS, PULL TRAILERS, CROSS INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE THIS CONDITION LEAVES THE CAR POWERLESS FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS AT WILL REPEATEDLY. WE NEED YOUR HELP, TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO COME CLEAN AND OWN UP TO THIS DEFECT ONCE AND FOR ALL IT AFFECTS 2008-2010 MODEL YEARS, THEY HAVE A TSB FOR THIS ON THE FIRST BUILD OF VEHICLES, THERE ARE 3 BUILDS I BELIEVE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT IN THE LATER BUILDS. WOW UNBELIEVABLE. *TR
