2010 Ford F-250 Sd Engine Problems

HOSE TO RADIATOR LEAKING, TOOK TO FORD DEALER, THEY SAID NEW HOSES AND NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR. SAID IT WAS STILL UNDER FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY. FORD WARRANTY DENIED THE NEW RADIATOR AND HOSES SAYING THAT THE HOSE LEAK CRACKED THE RADIATOR AND THAT WAS THE OWNERS FAULT. TRUCK HAS JUST UNDER 44K MILES AND IS GARAGED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. WHAT GOOD IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, FIRST. AND SECOND, WHY SHOULD A RADIATOR GO BAD IN SHORT TIME. QUOTE FOR JOB WAS OVER $2000.00.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 F-250 SD, 6.4L PICKUP. I WAS DRIVING ALONG A CITY SURFACE STREET AND LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND NOTICED A THICK WHITE CLOUD BANK BILLOWING BEHIND ME, GENERATING FROM MY EXHAUST PIPE. I ABOUT HAD A HEART ATTACK, THINKING MY TRUCK JUST BLEW AN ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT BACK TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIX IT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT,? FORD IS AWARE OF THE SMOKING ISSUE AND CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL WITH NO FIX?. THEY MENTIONED THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY MOISTURE CONDENSATION. THAT DOESN'T SEEM FEASIBLE SINCE HERE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THERE?S MOISTURE IN THE AIR JUST ABOUT ALL YEAR LONG. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO BLEACH THIS HEAVY, THICK SMOKE, ABOUT EVERY 20 TO 40 MILES, FOR APPROX. 45-120 SECONDS. I?M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BEING A PUBLIC HAZARD/SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN IT BILLOWS, I CAN SEE CARS PEELING OUT FROM BEHIND ME, THINKING MY TRUCK IS ON FIRE. I'VE EVEN HAD PEOPLE PULL ALONG SIDE MY TRUCK AND GIVE ME AN EARFUL, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OBSCENE GESTURES. IT'S IRONIC THAT THIS 6.4L DIESEL ENGINE HAS BEEN ADVERTISED AS CLEAN BURNING, LESS POLLUTION, IF A POLICE OFFICER OBSERVES THIS, I COULD GET A TRAFFIC CITATION. WE HAVE EXPRESSED OUR SAFETY CONCERNS AS WELL AS CONCERN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND RE-SALE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, (NOT TO MENTION HOW EMBARRASSING THIS IS WHEN THE TRUCK BILLOWS). MANY PHONE CONVERSATIONS HAVE TAKEN PLACE WITH THE SERVICE DEPT. AS WELL AS BRINGING THE TRUCK BACK AND WE STILL CANNOT GET THIS RESOLVED. IT'S A HEAD SCRATCHER TO ME AS TO WHY THE SALESMAN DIDN'T MENTION THIS ISSUE WHEN WE FIRST LOOKED AT THE TRUCK, SURELY HE SHOULD KNOW THE PRODUCT HE IS TRYING TO GET RID OF. *TR

EGR VALVES WENT OUT AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION WITH A 30 FOOT TRAILER, WHICH THAT HAPPENED TWICE, FORD SAYS WELL THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT THEY HAVE DEALT WITH. THIS HAS RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHICH CAUSES TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN MAJOR ISSUES OR ACCIDENTS, TRUCK WAS PURCHASED TO HAUL A TRAILER AND WE DO NOT TRUST IT AT ALL SINCE IT HAS BROKE DOWN SO MANY TIMES. WHEN YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR LOADED OR UNLOADED IT HAS A HESITATION BEFORE IT GOES, SOMETIMES IT TAKES AWHILE TO GET UP TO SPEED, FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALSO. WHEN THE CLEANING EXHAUST SYSTEM IS ON IT STARTS TO DECELERATE AND YOU LOSE A GOOD AMOUNT OF POWER. *KB

THE DPF / CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER INITIATED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, THUS, DRASTICALLY REDUCING THE BOOST AND POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. THE DRASTIC LOSS OF BOOST AND POWER PUT ME IN IMMINENT DANGER DUE TO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND MY VEHICLE AND I WERE IN THE BROADSIDE POSITION. A MOTORIST HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE BY RIDING ONTO AND OVER THE MEDIAN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO RETRIEVE HIS NAME AND PHONE NUMBER. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE TEAM FORD LAS VEGAS FOR REPAIR, HOWEVER, THE TRUCK CHECKED OUT ACCORDING TO FORD'S SPECIFICATION. ON 3/10/11 SERVICE MANAGER BOB RAHALA CONTACTED FORD CONSUMER RELATIONS IN MY PRESENCE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED "FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WE ARE WORKING ON IT; YOU WILL BE CONTACTED WITHIN 48 HOURS WITH THE FURTHER INFORMATION". I RECEIVED THE CALL FROM FORD CONSUMER RELATIONS 23 HOURS LATER AND THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED "THE TRUCK IS OPERATING ACCORDING TO SPEC, THERE IS NO PROBLEM". PLEASE BE ADVISED, FORD IS AWARE OF THE BOOST AND POWER LOSS WHEN THE CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER MODE IS IN EFFECT. MY FORD CASE NUMBER IS 0527870691 WHICH FORD CLOSED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES ACTION IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR AT LEAST 15-20 MINUTES, THEN WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTS ITSELF. ENGINE BEGINS TO HESITATE, SPUTTER, SHAKE AND LEADS TO A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND BEGINS TO BLOW TONS OF WHITE SMOKE, I , MEAN A CLOUD OF SMOKE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS HUMID OR RAINING OUT AND EVEN IN BETWEEN. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM DAY ONE. JUST PICTURE THIS SCENARIO PLAYING OUT, AS YOU ATTEMPT TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, PASSING OR GETTING ON A HIGHWAY, PULLING A TRAILER AND CLIMBING A HILL OR MOUNTAIN TOTALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF THE SAME CONDITION MANIFESTING ITSELF.THE EVIDENCE IS ON THE INTERNET DIESEL FORUMS AND BLOGS AND FORD SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION DOES NOT GENERATE ANY TROUBLE CODES OR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, WHAT A NIGHTMARE : VEHICLES AFFECTED ARE FORD F-250,350,450 ETC SUPERDUTY 6.4L DIESEL ENGINE IT IS A SHAME THAT YOU PAY UPWARDS OF $ 50,000.00 OR MORE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THEY ARE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND THE MANUFACTURER ONLY MAKES EXCUSES FOR AN OBVIOUS MODEL WIDE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM/ CONDITION HAS MANIFESTED OVER 25 TIMES IN MY VEHICLE IN ONLY 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. I AM SCARED TO PASS, PULL TRAILERS, CROSS INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE THIS CONDITION LEAVES THE CAR POWERLESS FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS AT WILL REPEATEDLY. WE NEED YOUR HELP, TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO COME CLEAN AND OWN UP TO THIS DEFECT ONCE AND FOR ALL IT AFFECTS 2008-2010 MODEL YEARS, THEY HAVE A TSB FOR THIS ON THE FIRST BUILD OF VEHICLES, THERE ARE 3 BUILDS I BELIEVE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT IN THE LATER BUILDS. WOW UNBELIEVABLE. *TR
