2012 Ford F-250 Sd Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-250 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EGT 14 SENSOR FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR OF "STOP SAFELY NOW" ALONG WITH FIVE CHIMES SOUNDING AS INDICATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE EGT SENSOR. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ON AN OFF RAMP EXITING THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DIESEL EXHAUST WARNING INDICATOR STATED THAT THE FLUID WAS LOW; HOWEVER, WHEN THE CONTACT CHECKED, IT WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND ALL THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

RADIATOR LEAK FROM DRIVERS SIDE LOWER PORTION. SAME AS PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR ISSUES. FORD CURRENTLY WARRANTIES EARLIER PRODUCTION, BUT WILL NOT EXTEND TO 2011 AND UP. TRUCK HAS ONLY 56000 MILES ON IT. LEAK OCCURS AFTER VEHICLE HAS REACHED OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND IS PARKED AND/OR TURNED OFF. INSPECTION CONDUCTED BY FORD DISCOVERED TANK CRIMPING HAS FAILED AND TRUCK NEEDS A NEW RADIATOR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT STILL NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT.

Ford super duty has been in shop for death wobble numerous times and when we get vehicle back still is the issue. Very unsafe and hard to stable once it starts. Even auto shop people when thought fixed drove and scared them. Whole truck shakes uncontrollably. Very poor on Ford for no recall with this happening. Why buy truck if you can’t drive it for work duties.

WHILE TRAVELING EAST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 CROSSING OVER SIEGEN LANE, TRUCK PASSED OVER SMALL BUMP IN INTERSTATE AND STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK ALMOST TO THE POINT OF NO CONTROL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO INSPECT MY TRUCK. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AND ALL TIRES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION. WHEN I STARTED AGAIN THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. THIS WAS THE FIRST OF 12 INCIDENTS OF WHAT I HAVE COME TO KNOW FROM RESEARCH AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK THE THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND FORD CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. THIS IS THE MOST UNNERVING EXPERIENCE. THIS WAS A $70000 VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE ON ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN WRECKED OR EVER TAKE OFF ROAD. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN ENGINEERING AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN ENGINEERING AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK.

VEHICLE HAS HAD RANDOM TIMES WHEN IT JUST CUT OFF COMPLETELY OR IT IS UNABLE TO START. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2015. DEALER HAS RECENTLY IDENTIFIED A DEFECT IN THE BRB BUT THE REPAIR EXPENSE IS EXORBITANT DUE TO TIME INVOLVED.

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH ,MY TRUCK STOPED RUNNING. THE COMPUTER SAID IT WAS LOW ON OIL,IT WAS NOT. THIS HAPPENED APPROX. 6 MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT HOME. I DIDN'T WHERE A FORD DEALER WAS SO I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A TRUCK REPAIR SHOP,THE TRUCK STOPPED 3 MORE TIMES. THEY FIXED A WIREING PROBLEM IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, THAY CHARGED ME 526.58 FOR THE REPAIRS. FORD WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME. HAS THIS BEEN A PROBLEM?

TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH WITH CRUISE SET AND HIT BRAKE TO TURN CORNER. ENGINE IMMEDIATELY DIED WITH SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING--SCARY BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AT A CRITICAL TIME WHILE TURNING A CORNER ON A HIGHWAY. ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING--ENGINE SEEMED FINE PRIOR. TRUCK WOULD NOT START. TOWED THE DEAD TRUCK TO NEAREST FORD DEALER IN WELLINGTON, KS. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE WAS THE DIAGNOSIS. EVIDENTLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS, METAL FILINGS FROM THE SHREDDED PUMP TAKE OUT ALL THE INJECTORS, FUEL RAIL, PRESSURE REGULATOR, AND ALSO SENDS METAL FILINGS INTO THE FUEL TANK VIA THE RETURN LINE. FORD CORPORATE, NOT THE DEALER MIND YOU, CLAIMS THIS FAILURE IS A RESULT OF FUEL CONTAMINATION IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THERE ARE 2 FUEL FILTERS AND A WATER SEPARATOR IN THE SYSTEM AND THEY WERE WELL MAINTAINED. REPAIRS ARE ESTIMATED AT $8000 + AND FORD HAS REFUSED WARRANTY SAYING IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT. THE "FUEL CONTAMINATION" CLAIM BY FORD MAY NOT EVEN BE ACCURATE AS THEIR "DIAGNOSIS" WAS MADE FROM A PICTURE OF THE FAILED PART. NO FUEL TESTS BY FORD WERE CONDUCTED ALTHOUGH I DID RETAIN A SAMPLE OF THE FUEL. NO SPECIFICS WERE GIVEN BY FORD AS TO WHAT TYPE OF CONTAMINATION EITHER--THEY JUST STATE "CONTAMINATION". I HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY ARE TALKING FLUID OR SOLIDS. JUST WHOSE FAULT IS IT WHEN THE FUEL FILTERING SYSTEM DESIGNED BY FORD FAILS TO FILTER OUT CONTAMINANTS? THEY ARE DENYING WARRANTIES TO THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS LIKE ME, PLUS THEY PUT ME IN DANGER WITH A KNOWN ISSUE THEY FAIL TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR--AND MY GOVERNMENT IS LETTING THEM GET BY WITH IT. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THEY ARE CONTINUING TO BUILD THESE 6.7L DIESEL ENGINES (IT IS NOW AUGUST OF 2015 AS I WRITE THIS) WITH THE SAME HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURES STARING THE NEXT CONSUMER IN THE FACE AND POCKETBOOK. SHAME ON FORD--AND SHAME ON THE REST OF US FOR LETTING THEM GET BY WITH IT...UPDATED 11/05/15 *BF *CN

THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE SAID THE SAME THING. THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT IS A FUEL ISSUE BUT THE PUMP ON THE TRUCK ISN'T EQUIPPED WITH THE INCORRECT FUEL PUMP FOR THE DIESEL THAT IS SOLD IN THE US. I HAVE SPENT JUST ABOUT $2000.00 JUST FIGHTING THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO FIX THE TRUCK I DROVE FOR 10 DAYS BEFORE FAILING. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP LONGER THAN I HAVE HAD IT. *TR

BRAKES ARE SPONGY HAVE BLOWN THROUGH STOP LIGHT TWICE WITHOUT TIME TO PUMP BRAKES. DEALER REPLACED FRONT CALIPERS RESURFACED ROTORS AND REPLACED PADS AT MY EXPENSE NO IMPROVEMENT. PEDAL TRAVELS 1/2 TO 3/4 TO FLOOR ON INITIAL BRAKING WITHOUT SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWING VEHICLE, BETTER EACH TIME YOU PUMP BRAKES. WHILE TOWING TRAILER GAIN HAS TO BE ON FULL SO TRAILER BRAKES CAN HELP STOP VEHICLE, VEHICLE BRAKES ARE INSUFFICIENT. TOOK TRUCK BACK TO FORD OF KIRKLAND AFTER SPENDING $1000 AND WAS TOLD BRAKING IS NORMAL, DROVE A FRIENDS 2011 F250 AND BRAKES ARE MUCH BETTER. THE LACK OF RESPONSE ON THE PEDAL HAS CREATED MORE THAN 1 NEAR ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD FULLY AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE LACK OF BRAKE PEDAL RESPONSE IS CONSISTENT REGARDLESS OF TYPE OF DRIVING OR SPEED AND HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE ABOUT 36,000 MILES. TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 48,000 MILES.

THE VEHICLE HAS 34,000 HIGHWAY MILES ON IT. THIS ISSUE FIRST BEGAN ON I95 @ 29,000MI. WHEN HITTING A BUMP, SUCH AS BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINT, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE BOUNCING OFF THE ROAD SURFACE CAUSING ABS ACTIVATION. THE SHAKING GETS WORSE UNTIL IT COMES ALMOST TO A STOP. VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY IN LANE 1 AT 75 MPH WITH CARS ALL AROUND. THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE TRACK BAR. THIS PROBLEM IS UNSAFE AND WELL DOCUMENTED ON SITES SUCH AS YOUTUBE. THE TRACK BAR ISSUE DOES OCCUR ON SOLID AXEL 4X4 VEHICLES WITH HIGH MILEAGE (200,000) BUT NOT ON LOW MILEAGE TRUCKS LIKE MY F250. I HAVE REPLACED TRACK BAR BALL JOINT AND PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT HAS NOW WORE OUR AGAIN CAUSING A RECURRENCE OF THE ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS EFFECTING STEERING AND BRAKING. I CAN SEND VIDEO OF THIS OCCURRING IF NEEDED.

WHILE TRAVELING EAST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 10 CROSSING OVER SIEGEN LANE, TRUCK PASSED OVER SMALL BUMP IN INTERSTATE AND STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK ALMOST TO THE POINT OF NO CONTROL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO INSPECT MY TRUCK. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AND ALL TIRES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION. WHEN I STARTED AGAIN THE VEHICLE WAS FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE WAS TO REDUCE THE SPEED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONE OTHER TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KENLY FORD INC (500 S GARNER AVE, KENLY, NC 27542) WHERE THE STEERING ARM AND TORSION BAR WERE REPLACED, AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

AFTER DRIVING FOR 5 MINUTES A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE REAR LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL- NO CHANGE IN THE DRIVABILITY. ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER THAT THE COMPUTER STARTED FLASHING DIFFERENT SYMBOLS INDICATING MANY PROBLEMS- THE ALARMS WERE GOING OFF NON-STOP- THEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN BY THE COMPUTER. THIS TRUCK IS HEAVY AND I MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT HAPPENED BECAUSE I HAD TO USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD AND WENT INTO THE OTHER LANE! IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE TOWING A LOAD ON ONE OF THE MOUNTAIN PASSES I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED- AND HURT OR KILLED OTHERS! FORD HAS HAD BAD DIESEL ENGINES SINCE THEY DROPPED THE 7.3 YEARS AGO AND ARE RIPPING OFF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY- PLEASE DON'T LET SOMEONE DIE OVER A KNOWN PROBLEM. SEEMS CHEAPER FOR FORD TO PUT US IN DANGER BY SHUTTING DOWN THIS ENGINE AND THEREFORE NOT REPLACING THE ENGINE AND COMPUTER SYSTEM. *TR

STOP SAFELY NOW: WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AND YOU HAVE TO ROLL AS FAR AS YOU CAN TO HOPEFULLY GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I AM AN EXPERIENCED MECHANIC AND DRIVER OF "NOT SO GREAT RUNNING VEHICLES" AS I HAVE TEST AND TUNE THEM TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS TO REPAIR THEM. E.G. NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING, NON WORKING FUEL PUMPS...ETC. WITH THAT SAID, I DO NOT THINK AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER OF A NON WORKING VEHICLE WOULD DO SO WELL IN THIS SITUATION AND COULD END UP POSSIBLY HARMING OTHERS AS A RESULT. I JUST KNEW FOR SURE THIS WOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST FOR SAFETY ISSUES AND TO FIND OUT FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR "EMERGENCY VEHICLES ONLY". MY QUESTION IS... WHO SAYS A PERSONAL VEHICLE IS NOT EVER GOING TO BE AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE FOR YOUR FAMILY, FRIEND OR A COWORKER. COME ON FORD, IF YOUR CUSTOMERS BUY A 65,000 TRUCK SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE THE COMFORT OF TRUSTING THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STRAND THEM DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR STOP RUNNING IF THEY ARE TAKING SOMEONE TO THE ER... FORD DID REPAIR MY TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY, BUT, I THINK THIS COULD HAVE ALL BEEN AVOIDED IF THE RECALL WAS OUT FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

ON HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH WHEN REAR PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODED. TIRE FRAGMENTS TORE AND BENT FENDER WELL METAL CAUSING $2700 DAMAGE. STEEL BELTS WERE BROKEN ACROSS THE TIRE IN TWO LOCATIONS ON THE CIRCUMFERENCE. FENDER AND TIRE REPLACED. LIKELY WOULD HAVE CAUSED SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR DEATH IF A PERSON HAD BEEN STANDING NEXT TO THE TIRE. (PRIMARY REASON FOR FILING THIS REPORT) JUST PRIOR TO THE EXPLOSION, MY WIFE SENSED A VIBRATION AND STOPPED TO INSPECT TIRES. NO OBVIOUS DEFECTS WERE FOUND. AFTER PROCEEDING APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE, THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. TIRE WAS RETURNED TO BF GOODIIDGE AFTER WHICH THEY CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY. PICTURES OF TIRE AND VEHICLE DAMAGE AVAILABLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-250 EQUIPPED WITH A SET OF CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC TIRES, SIZE: 275/65/R18. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE SHOP WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE EXHIBITED TREAD SEPARATION. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE DOT NUMBER AND VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-250 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, AN UNKNOWN SENSOR WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, COOLANT LEAKED FROM THE RESERVOIR INTO THE VALLEY OF THE ENGINE AND THE FOUR POWER DOOR LOCKS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY UNLOCK WHEN DRIVING. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER, THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF THE REPAIR THAT WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I CURRENTLY HAVE 122,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND IT'S ALL STOCK, EVEN THE TIRES ARE THE SAME TYPE AS OEM. FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND ABOUT 60,000 MILES I CONTINUALLY HAVE THE SAME DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON; HILL DECENT CONTROL & ADVANCED TRACK. THE BAD PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT THEY DON'T JUST COME ON AND REMAIN AS ACTIVE SYSTEM WARNINGS, THEY WILL FLASH ON, ALERT ME, THEN GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON. SO WHEN I CLICK "OK" TO SILENCE THEM, THEY ONLY STAY SILENCED FOR THAT OCCURRENCE. SO WHEN THEY GO OFF THEN COME BACK ON, IT ALERTS ME AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I'VE BEEN ON ROAD TRIPS WHERE IT WILL CONTINUE THIS THE ENTIRE ROAD TRIP. THERE IS NO ESTABLISHED OR AVERAGE TIME THAT THE STAY ON, IT'S RANDOM. WHEN THESE ALERTS APPEAR, WHILE THEY ARE ACTIVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. I DON'T GET AN ALERT THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE IN FAULT, I JUST GET A DASHBOARD LIGHT. SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THE AIRBAGS AREN'T WORKING WHILE THESE FAULTS ARE ACTIVE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY CLAIM THAT NO FAULT CODES APPEAR AND THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I'VE EVEN HAD A DEALERSHIP TRY TO CHARGE ME FOR THIS. I TOOK IT TO ONE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE A $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO ATTEMPT TO FIND IT. I MENTIONED THE SAFETY ISSUE BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE. UPON REQUEST I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF MY DASH WHILE THEY ARE ACTIVE AND POSSIBLY DEALERSHIP RECEIPTS WHERE THEY DOCUMENTED IT.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE LOCKED ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON. INDEPENDENT OF WEATHER. NO WAY TO TURN OFF UNTIL ELECTRONIC SWITCHES THAT CONTROL THE WIPERS, BLINKERS, AND HIGH BEAMS WERE REPLACED. PROBLEM STARTED ON THE HIGHWAY IN MOTION. RT 89 N VERMONT. CONTINUED UNTILLED REPAIRED. PART NUMBER WAS SW-6874.
