2018 FORD F-250 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

100k miles and the high pressure fuel pump is failed. Created small metal particles that got into fuel lines. Everything needs to be replaced. There’s a recall on over 80k trucks with the same issue. Local ford said this is the same issue as all the recalls but because we don’t have the recall on our VIN, we have to pay $20k for replacement.

Fuel pump faulted, engine would just cut off in middle of driving whether on highway, street, or interstate. Engine would randomly shut off. Took to ford dealership, they had to replace low pressure and high pressure fuel pumps, the dealership says this model is notorious for that, the fuel pumps tear apart and send metal into the fuel rail. This caused the truck to not get diesel and shut off. An extreme safety issue. Several times it happened while driving, and nothing prepared you for it to happen. Just saw where models I believe starting with 2020 have been recalled for same issue. Don’t understand why 18 models weren’t.

On a very busy freeway truck started making a noise and losing power. 18 wheelers are coming up fast behind us and honking at us not knowing we are losing power and can not pull over because we are going over a bridge. The truck continued to lose power and messages started to appear saying powering down. We made it off the freeway and the truck completed died on us. Could not start. Had to call a wrecker and be towed over 100 miles back home. Well over $450.00. The next day called a mobile diagnosis that was $175.00 to tell us it was the fuel system. Got quoted from the Ford dealership $15k to repair so we took it to CS AUTOMOTIVE. They charged us $13,0000 for the repair. Shortly after getting the repair done, Ford issued a recall on 2018 Ford F250 for the same issue as our...

The CP4 high pressure fuel pumps fail and take out the whole fuel system.

While on vacation, driving down a major interstate, our truck suddenly lost power. The driver slowly navigated to the side of the road and by the time we stopped flames were coming out from under the engine. We quickly got ourselves and three children out of the vehicle that, within minutes, was completely engulfed in flames. It was noted by police and the wrecker company that diesel fuel was on the road behind the truck and on the trailer that we were pulling.

I was sold this truck in November 2023 with the emissions deleted and without knowing this was removed/deleted. I did not become aware until 3 weeks ago when I brought my truck into service for a warranty issue with the fuel component. After some back and forth I was then told it would not be covered because I deleted the emissions, but I did not as this was removed prior to the purchase. Then more back and forth and pointing fingers between service and sales and a lot of ummm this should have never been sold to you and no one taking the blame and being told my truck will not be covered. I purchased the truck, have had the oil changed with their service and that's it. Now no one wants to do anything and even purchased an extended warranty!!!

The plastic fuel filter cracked and sprayed diesel all over my engine compartment and all of the way down to the tailgate. Lots of fuel, very dangerous. It will get someone hurt

PROBLEM PERSISTING REGARDING EVAP SYSTEM AND FUEL PUMP. VEHICLE HAS AN EXTENDED CRANK TIME AND SPUTTERS AT OR AROUND 400 RPM FROM ANYWHERE BETWEEN TWO TO FOUR SECONDS DUE TO THE LOSS OF PRESSURE IN THE FUEL LINES DUE TO A FAULTY CHECK VALVE OR FAULTY EVAP PURGE VALVE. DUST CAN ENTER THE EVAP VENT AND OVERTIME WORK ITS WAY TO THE EVAP SYSTEM AND CAUSE THE EVAP PURGE VALVE TO STICK OR WORK PAST THE EVAP SYSTEM AND INTO THE FUEL VENT TUBE DESENDING INTO THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH CAN CAUSE THE FUEL PUMP CHECK VALVE, WHICH KEEPS FUEL PRESSURE IN THE LINES AFTER THE MOTOR IS TURNED OFF, TO FAIL. IN A WORST CASE SCENARIO,VEHICLE MAY NOT START AT ALL UNLESS FUEL IS PUMPED BACK INTO THE LINES BY TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE MOST OFTEN OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE HAS...

WHILE IN MOTION ON A SATURDAY NIGHT 10/19 ON A FARM TO MARKER ROAD, AS WE WENT OVER A RAILROAD TRACK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WARNING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" SHOWED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN. THE TRUCK WAS STILL DRIVE-ABLE AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME WITH NO REAL ISSUES, ONLY WITH REDUCED ENGINE POWER. FAST FORWARD TO THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY 10/22 WHEN WE WERE GOING TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND IT WAS SHOWING "LOW FUEL PRESSURE". THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. WHILE IN THEIR CARE I WAS TOLD MY LPFP (LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP) WAS NOT WORKING AND IT WAS REPLACED. ONCE THEY REPLACED IT, THEY STATED THE HPFP (HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP) WARNING CAME ON. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THEY STATED...

ON 4/19/19 I MISFUELED MY DIESEL VEHICLE. I STOPPED THE PROCESS IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED FORD FROM THE FILLING STATION. THE FORD SERVICE CENTER SAID THAT I SHOULD AVOID TURNING THE ENGINE ON, OR EVEN PLACING THE ENGINE IN ACCESSORY MODE BECAUSE IT WOULD ENGAGE THE FUEL PUMP AND FLOOD THE SYSTEM WITH GASOLINE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT I COULD NOT PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO BE WINCHED ONTO THE FLATBED TOW TRUCK WITHOUT TURNING ON THE ACCESSORY MODE. I CALLED FORD FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. FORD RECOMMENDED THAT I DISCONNECT A CABLE BENEATH THE TRUCK THAT WOULD DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AND ALLOW THE TRUCK TO MOVE. BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS, I HAD TO TURN ON THE ACCESSORY TO GET THE TRUCK OUT OF PARK FOR TOWING. THIS CAUSED ABOUT $12,000 IN DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. MORE TO THE...
