What 207 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Ford F-350 Super Crew

Put it into drive and it went in reverse at least twice now (I'm assuming that's the transmission control modular...?) Luckily we didn't hit anyone and it's happened at home or a drive thru....no...not yet....it says our truck isn't part of the recall the year had (had no idea there even was a recall for it until it had the issue, and trying to figure it out and someone told us about it the same day the issue occured).....there were no other indicators of prior issues or warnings to it happening....

I HAVE A F350 2015 VEHICLE, HAVING AN ENGINE KNOCK NOISE AND HESITATION PROBLEMS RIGHT AFTER THE ENGINE KNOCKS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE CONCERNS FIVE TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO CALIFORNIA REGULATIONS. THERE IS A TSB TO THE CONCERN THAT I AM HAVING, BUT I DON'T THINK MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE THE HEADS REBUILT SINCE I JUST PURCHASED IT BACK IN DEC 2015. WHAT IS THE STATE DOING TO HAVE THIS CONCERN RESOLVE? I BROUGHT IT IN TWO DAYS AGO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SINCE AFTER THE 4TH TIME OF THE ENGINE KNOCKED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEY ENDED UP REPLACING A SENSOR. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND ON MY WAY HOME, THE ENGINE KNOCKS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM WAITING ON FMC TO CALL ME AND TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO NOW. THE VEHICLE HAS TWO OTHER PROBLEMS A WINDSHIELD NOISE AT 60 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR ON WINDY DAYS. THEY RESEALED THE WINDSHIELD THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THEY ARE TELLING ME, THAT UNLESS THEY DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I SHOWED THEM A VIDEO THAT I RECORDED DURING THE CONCERN HAPPENING, BUT THEY ARE IGNORING IT. I SHOWED THEM A VIDEO THAT SOMEONE ELSE POSTED ON YOU TUBE SAME CONCERN. HOWEVER, SINCE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT IS THEIR ANSWER. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM OF THE TRANSMISSION, HARSH SHIFT AS SLOW SPEEDS SAME THING CAN'T DUPLICATE IS WHAT THE WORK ORDER FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATES. WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE LOOKED AT FOR THE CONCERNS I AM HAVING? IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

DURING REGENERATION OF THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER THE TRUCK LOSES POWER AND OPERATES ROUGHLY. THIS LAST OCCURRED AS I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY DURING SLICK ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS COULD HAVE VERY EASILY RESULTED IN LOSS OF TRACTION AND/OR COLLISION AS I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO SPEED.

EPISODES OF VIOLENT SHAKING AND POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE DURING REGENARATION. THIS HAS BEEN A ON GOING ISSUE. FORD CLAIMS IT IS CAUSE BY THE COMPUTER AND A REPROGRAM WILL BE OUT IN MARCH 2016. I FEEL THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE SPECIALLY ON ICY ROADS.
