2010 FORD F-250 SD Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 F-250 SD, 6.4L PICKUP. I WAS DRIVING ALONG A CITY SURFACE STREET AND LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND NOTICED A THICK WHITE CLOUD BANK BILLOWING BEHIND ME, GENERATING FROM MY EXHAUST PIPE. I ABOUT HAD A HEART ATTACK, THINKING MY TRUCK JUST BLEW AN ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT BACK TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIX IT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT,? FORD IS AWARE OF THE SMOKING ISSUE AND CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL WITH NO FIX?. THEY MENTIONED THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY MOISTURE CONDENSATION. THAT DOESN'T SEEM FEASIBLE SINCE HERE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THERE?S MOISTURE IN THE AIR JUST ABOUT ALL YEAR LONG. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO BLEACH THIS HEAVY, THICK SMOKE, ABOUT EVERY 20 TO 40 MILES, FOR APPROX. 45-120 SECONDS. I?M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BEING A PUBLIC HAZARD/SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN IT BILLOWS, I CAN SEE CARS PEELING OUT...

A SENSOR BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE, INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CLEANING ITS EXHAUST. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED DURING THIS FAILURE AND BEGAN TO AGAIN ACCELERATE ONCE THE SENSOR TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,600.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK PICKED UP SPEED BY ITSELF UNTIL IT REACHED 95 MPH THEN THE ENGINE BOGGED DOWN REPEATLY,THEN I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WORKED OK UNTIL EVENING THEN THE TRUCK FAILED TO START AND THE STARTER KEPT TURNING WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE KEY. *TR

TRUCK DIES WHEN DRIVING IT,THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START ON TWO OTHER TIMES,WHEN I WENT TO DAUGHTER HOUSE AND GOT IN TO LEAVE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TOWED TO DEALER ALL 4 TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG. THIS IS A NEW FORD 250 SUPER DUTY DIESEL. IT HAS 6,533 MILES ON IT,BOUGHT IT 07/29/2010. *TR

THE DPF / CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER INITIATED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, THUS, DRASTICALLY REDUCING THE BOOST AND POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. THE DRASTIC LOSS OF BOOST AND POWER PUT ME IN IMMINENT DANGER DUE TO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND MY VEHICLE AND I WERE IN THE BROADSIDE POSITION. A MOTORIST HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE BY RIDING ONTO AND OVER THE MEDIAN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO RETRIEVE HIS NAME AND PHONE NUMBER. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE TEAM FORD LAS VEGAS FOR REPAIR, HOWEVER, THE TRUCK CHECKED OUT ACCORDING TO FORD'S SPECIFICATION. ON 3/10/11 SERVICE MANAGER BOB RAHALA CONTACTED FORD CONSUMER RELATIONS IN MY PRESENCE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED "FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WE ARE WORKING ON IT; YOU WILL BE CONTACTED WITHIN 48 HOURS...
