Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“1) faulty head bolts repair was over $6000 involved gaskets, cracked heads, bolts, updates and upgrades. 2) death wobble front end issues (mine are fortunately occurring at at low speeds) however the wobble has caused many front end and steering components to wear out prematurely. Wobble kicks in after sharp turns and wheel will not return to center and when forced back to center it will wander and hunt for center. Usually up till 20-25mph then self corrects.”
NHTSA complaint #11054161, filed 2017-12, 75,000 miles“Egl cooler failure, white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe caused by coolant entering into the emission system. On all 6.0 engines the egl cooler will fail. This problem is so massive with so many massive complaints from customers that Ford has done two things 1) designed a by-pass kit and 2) re-designed the engine to eliminate the problem (6.7 engine). When the egl cooler fails, Ford offers two solutions to the customer 1) install the by-pass kit and the problem is solved (at a cost of $4500) or 2) repair the egl cooler to bring it back to factory (at a cost of $4300). …”
