Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Upon starting the vehicle, I noticed that the check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it has been diagnosed with a bad def pump, heater and sensor. These are for emission control and I have been told that these parts are not a warrantied item. Seems that this should be covered as it for the safety of the environment.”
NHTSA complaint #10723241, filed 2015-06, 77,000 miles“Sensor did not fix the stalling problem which was monitored by fords box put in the truck. I had to hit the button for a signal to be sent to Ford every time my engine lost power (went momentarily dead) finally Ford installed a 2013 ECM to correct the problem, which it fixed it. I traded the truck for a 2014 f350 6.7l , no problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10676436, filed 2015-01, 500 miles“Truck has about 65k miles on it. It has had 2 major diesel engine malfunctions that left me stranded on the road. The first time I barely made it off the travel lanes. The second time at least I was able to get fully off the road. Both times we were on the highway. It already has had the fuel pump go out causing major problems and having a new fuel system put in. Now something else internally of the engine has blown up and now it has metal shaving all thru the engine. …”

A bus was coming in my lane as I was passing, the truck slowed down to let me by but I had no power, no power brakes or power steering. The bus slowed down and I braked enough to get in back of the truck and over to the side of the road. The bus went on by and the truck continued on his way and I tried to start my truck. …”
