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

I WAS TOWING A TRAILER ON A HWY 52 IN COLORADO WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY I LOST CONTROL AND WENT IN TOO THE OTHER LANE IT SHOOK UNTIL I CAME TO COMPLETE STOP. IT HAS DONE IT 5 TIMES SINCE THEN I HONESTY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK ANY MORE. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 37K MILES ON IT AND NEW SHOCK AND STEERING DAMPER. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THIS THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CASES JUST LIKE MINE GOOGLE DEATH WOBBLE. SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET HURT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

I OWN A 2015 FORD F-350SD WITH APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES THAT I BOUGHT FROM THE FORD DEALER IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018. SO, I HAVEN'T EVEN OWNED THE TRUCK A YEAR YET. ON JULY 12, 2019 I WAS DRIVING DOWN I15 HEADED TO A CAMPING TRIP. ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN A MESSAGE SAYING REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND MY TRUCK WENT FROM 70MPH TO 5MPH AND JUST BARELY GOT ME OFF THE INTERSTATE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AND SAID THERE'S METAL THROUGHOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM, THE HPFP IS GOING BAD AND WEARING OUT, THERE IS ALSO RUST AND WATER IN THE FUEL RAIL. IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THE BILL WILL BE A LITTLE OVER $11,000. IN DECEMBER RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, I TOOK IT INTO THE FORD DEALER AND HAD THEM FULLY SERVICE THE TRUCK, CHECK THE OIL, CHANGE BOTH FUEL FILTERS, ETC. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS TO SHOW FORD THAT I HAVE MAINTAINED THE TRUCK. I HAVE FULLY MAINTAINED THE TRUCK AND HAVE DRAINED THE WATER SEPARATOR MONTHLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING ON MY PART TO MAKE SURE THE TRUCK IS WELL CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED. I HAVE NOW BEEN FIGHTING WITH FORD CORPORATE FOR 5 WEEKS NOW AND THEY ARE SAYING THIS ISSUE ISN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY. IT'S A SHAME THAT YOU BUY A TRUCK FROM THE FORD DEALER WITH A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY AND NOW FORD IS CLAIMING THAT THIS ISSUE ISN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN FAULTY FUEL PUMP THAT WEARS OUT PREMATURELY AND IS COSTING CONSUMERS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR WARRANTY! THIS IS A SHAME AND RIDICULOUS ON FORDS END!

2015 F350 4X4 6.7 WE TOW A 12K TRAILER GOOSENECK. THIS PROBLEM OCCURES LOADED AND UNLOADED. ANY BUMP OVER 50 MPH ON THE DRIVER TIRE WILL CAUSE A VIOLENT SHAKE THAT WILL PERSIST THOUGH ACCELERATION STEERING INPUTS AND BRAKING, SOFT OR HARD. ONLY SLOWING TO BELOW 45 SOMETIMES 35 WILL STOP THE SHAKING. DURING THE SHAKE STEERING IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE, AND ATTPETING TO KEEP STRAIGHT RESULTED IN TWISTING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THUS FAR WE HAVE REPLACED STEERING STABALIZER. TRACK BAR, AND ASSOSIATED BUSHING AND BALL JOINT, TIRES, MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS, SWAY BAR LINKS, BALLJOINTS, SHOCKS. EACH REPAIR MAKES THE PROBLEM SEEMINGLY BETTER FOR A TIME BUT WITHIN A WEEK IT RETURNS. WE ARE A DANGER ON THE ROAD AND HAVE SENSE STOPPED DRIVING UNTIL A HARD RESOLUTION IS FOUND.

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID REDUCTANT HEATER FAULT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS RECALLS. RECURRING PROBLEM FOR FORD SUPER DUTY THAT NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED FOR THIS MODEL AS IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT PREVIOUS ATTENTION WAS GIVEN TO. IT IS A EMISSIONS PROBLEM THAT FAILS ON THESE TRUCKS.

THIS VEHICLE HAS 42,188 MILES TO DATE, AND HAS BEEN DOWN FOR OVER 8 WEEKS DUE TO SENSOR PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE EGR AND DEF SYSTEM. 4 TEMPERATURE SENSORS WERE INITIALLY REPLACED, AND THEN THE PARTICULATE SENSOR SHOWED A FAULT. THAT SENSOR WAS $146.55! AS OF TODAY, THAT SENSOR IS BAD AGAIN AND FORD STATES THERE IS A UPDATED ONE FOR $200.99! THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY RUNS OUT AS SOON AS YOU DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT! I HAVE SPENT NEARLY $800.00, AND THIS VEHICLE SITS, AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS IT IN LIMP MODE. THIS VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED IN PERFECT CONDITION. IF THE EPA IS GOING TO REQUIRE THESE EMISSION STANDARDS, THEN VEHICLE MANUFACTURES SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THESE COSTLY REPAIRS! I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE DELETE KITS TO ELIMINATE THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER THEY VOID THE WARRANTY AND IT IS UNLAWFUL TO DO SO. I CAN SEE WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS. FRANKLY, I DONT SEE THE POINT IN A "HANDFUL" OF US TRYING TO KEEP OURS RUNNING TO CODE, WHILE OTHERS ARE RIPPING THIS POLLUTION STUFF OFF. I DON;T SEE THE POINT. HOWEVER I AM TOTALLYL FRUSTRATED AT A $70,000.00 PICKUP THAT REMAINS BROKE DOWN. YOU CAN'T EVEN TRADE THEM OFF IF THEY ARE HAVING DEF ISSUES. I READ QUITE OFTEN ABOUT STATE, COUNTY AND CITY VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AND THAT KEEPS THEM OFF THE ROAD FOR SNOW PLOWING AND A HOST OF OTHER DUTIES. THIS ISSUE NEEDS ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED. TALK ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE: DRIVING HOME IN THE DARK AND THIS THING DECIDES TO LIMP OFF THE ROAD. ALWAYS A WEEKEND OR AFTER HOURS. AND SERVICE SHOPS ARE SO FAR BEHIND IT TAKES WEEKS TO GET IN. THIS IS OUTLANDISH THAT THE US IS TRYING TO REDUCE EMISSIONS WHILE THE REST OF THE PLANET COULD CARE LESS. WHAT IS THE POINT? I AM A REASONABLE PERSON, BUT I DO NOT SEE THE POINT. CLUE ME IN PLEASE.
