“I purchased a certified pre-owned vehicle on november 13, 2016 and have had to return the truck for service more than 4 times for the same issue and the issue is still not fixed. It is my understanding that there is a malfunction with some 2014-2015 f-super duty 6.7l diesel vehicles which may exhibit a mil illuminated with DTC p207f. And that this condition may be associated with the powertrain control module (PCM). …”
NHTSA complaint #10991802, filed 2017-05, 35,080 miles“The bcm module on 2014 F-250 superduty is attached to the parking brake release plate under the driver's side dashboard. Normal use of the parking brake release causes the bcm connector to become loose. After multiple normal uses the bcm connector faults and shuts down the ability to start the vehicle. My issue occurred while driving and I lost ability to monitor speed, RPM, fuel, temp, and other functions. I stopped on the side of the road and turned off my vehicle. It would no longer start. …”

NHTSA complaint #11703723, filed 2025-12“I kept smelling a burnt plastic smell. Eventually my driver side rear door did not lock. Upon inspection of the wiring the wire harness from the door to the truck showed the wires on the truck side had burned/melted the sheathing off the wires and leaving them exposed and touching.”
NHTSA complaint #11660721, filed 2025-05“The MyKey feature was enabled and won't turn off. I took the vehicle to the dealer and had a new key programmed. This fixed the speed regulation but the limited volume feature is still active and I can't increase volume beyond 40%. The touch screen is also not responding correctly. Depending on where I touch the screen, the area of the screen impacted is about an inch or more below where I touch. In some cases, some features can't be accessed anymore because of their location on the screen.”
