YOU DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON ROUGH ROADS AND THE TRUCK IS BOUNCING ALL OVER AND CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH MADE ME GO OFF THE ROAD. AS SOON AS YOU HIT BUMPS THE TRUCK SWAYS EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT WHICH HAS GOT ME IN CLOSE CALL FOR AN ACCIDENT. THEN THIS TRUCK LOOSES ALL THE CONTROL PANEL AND SMOKES IN THE CAB AFTER 3 TRIES THEY REPLACED A MODULE THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME WHAT IT IS. FORD KEEPS TELLING ME THIS TRUCK HAS STABILITY ISSUES AND ITS JUST THE WAY IT IS. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THE PLOW WHICH CAME WITH THE TRUCK FULLY UP HITS THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WHICH THEY THE DEALER SAYS IS NORMAL BUT COULD GET HUNG UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE AND TRY THIS TRUCK FOR YOURSELF TO SEE HOW UNSAFE IT IS. *TT

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.

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.
