2014 FORD F-250 SD — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK 3 MONTHS AGO, AND EXACTLY FOUR DAYS FROM THE PURCHASE DATE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING, I BOUGHT A WARRANTY FROM DEALER, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING AND THEY TOOK THE ENGINE LIGHT THAT WAS ON OFF. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER THE TRUCK STARTED HESITATING SO I TOOK IT IN FOR A SERVICE AND OIL CHANGE AND HAD THE FUEL FILTER CHANGED TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE ISSUE, IT ONLY HELP FOR A SHORT PERIOD, WHEN I WAS TRAVELING IN ALABAMA, THE HOSE BLEW OFF AND BLACK SMOKE CAN OUT THE BACK AND I BARELY WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, SEVERAL MECHANICS LOOKED AT IT AND NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE NO CODES SHOWED UP. BOUGHT A HOSE AND DEALERSHIP IN ALABAMA PUT IT ON, CONTINUED MY TRIP, ANOTHER THREE DAYS PASSED BY AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO JERK AND HESITATE WHEN I WAS ON A STEEP HILL, I PUT IT IN A LOWER GEAR BUT NOTHING HELPED I WENT TO A DIESEL EXPERT AND IT TOOK HIM TWO DAY OF EXAMINING THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM , THERE WAS METAL SHAVINGS IN THE SYSTEM AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM WAS BREAKING DOWN, I JUST SPENT 50,000 DOLLARS ON THIS TRUCK AND WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST 8500.00 TO TRY TO FIX, THE 6.7 POWER STROKE FUEL SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE, A FORD F 250 SHOULD LAST SHOULD NOT BREAK DOWN LIKE THIS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BAD WITH THIS TRUCK, DEALERS ARE KNOWING THESE TRUCKS HAVE PROBLEMS AND ARE STILL SELLING THEM. THEY ARE CAMOUFLAGING THE PROBLEM WITH COMPUTER TUNING AND SHUTTING OFF THE EMISSION SYSTEM DEF, THESE ITEMS ARE BEING DELETED AND NO ONE IS TELLING US CONSUMERS UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE. I WAS DRIVING AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WHEN MY TRUCK BASICALLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND STARTED TO JERK BACK AND FORTH

FRONT OIL COVER LEAKAGE. THERE ARE FOUR TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE DEALER. THE FRONT COVER BOLT LOOSEN THEMSELVES AND CAUSES A SMALL OIL LEAK THAT COVERS THE FRONT AND BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. THIS LEADS TO MULTIPLE PARTS BEING REPLACE THAT DO NOT NEED REPLACED. AFTER CLEANING THE ENGINE AND FINDING THE LEAK, IT IS TIGHTENING FOUR BOLTS THAT ONLY THREE CAN BE TIGHTENED BY SIGHT. THE FOURTH BOLT COST $4000 TO TIGHTEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN F250 ISSUE.

I EXPERIENCED DEATH WOBBLE AT 70 MPH GOING OVER A BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT. HAD TO HOLD THE WHEEL WITH BOTH HANDS AND GET DOWN TO 25 MPH BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL. MY 2014 HAS 75,500 MILES. JUST ORDERED NEW TIRES AND GOT EXACT REPLACEMENTS AS I DON'T WANT TO GIVE FORD AN EXCUSE. THIS IS MY 12TH FORD AND NOW HAVE A VEHICLE MY FAMILY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FOR $45K. I HAVE HAD MANY STEERING AND SUSPENSION PARTS WEAR OUT AND GET LOOSE IN OTHER FORDS, BUT NEVER HAS ANY WEAR FORCED MY OFF THE ROAD AND NOT ALLOW MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. IF FORD DOESN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM I WILL HAVE A NEW GMC IN A COUPLE WEEKS. I HAVE CALLS OUT TO THE OWNER OF MY LOCAL DEALER, BUT NO RESPONSE YE
