2022 FORD F-59 Engine Problems

Vehicle has had electrical issues since purchased new. Ford service center could not fix after several attempts. Customer service/ warranty was unhelpful. All issues surfaced prior to 60k miles. Has had about 6 battery replacements in less than a year. Now at 68k miles vehicle has been at shop for weeks and being told a new engine is needed. Ford shop services commercial vehicles but won’t replace engine. Vehicle has to be transported to another ford shop for repair. One of the engine issues identified was lifters. From other FedEx contractors and Ford service shops and dealers, this had become a common issue with the 7.3 engine but is not yet a recall issue. My vehicle has low miles and low idle time yet needs a new engine. We need some intervention with Ford, who is not holding itself accountable.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-59. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle was making an abnormally loud ticking sound. The vehicle lost motive power. There were unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that lifters had failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and assisted with the repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.
