2016 Ford F-350 Sd

I WAS TRAVELING UP HORSESHOE BEND (IDAHO). I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A BACKFIRE, BUT TOWARDS THE FRONT. AFTER I HEARD THE NOISE, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. MY PASSENGER AND I WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD, FLAMES JUST EXPLODED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IN JUST A MATTER OF MINUTES, MY TRUCK AND 5TH WHEEL WERE ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE PASSENGER AND I WERE TREATED IN FIRST RESPONDER VEHICLE FOR SMOKE INHALATION.

STARTED MY 2016 F350 SUPER DUTY 6.7 DIESEL ON A FREEZING MORNING AND DROVE TO WORK. AT LUNCH I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND ABOUT 3 MILES INTO MY DRIVE A SLOW SPEED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO A LOCAL AUTO ZONE FOR ENGINE CODE DIAGNOSTICS AND THE READER SHOWED CODE P20BA. THIS CODE INDICATES THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE EMISSIONS DEF SCR FLUID HEATER - EMISSIONS RELATED. I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER AS THEY ARE COMPLETELY BOOKED FOR SERVICE CALLS. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IN PRIOR YEAR MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE YEARS 2011-2015. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF A CURRENT RECALL FOR THE 2016 YEAR MODEL SO WILL LIKELY HAVE TO PAY UPWARDS OF $1200 (SEARCH INFORMATION INDICATION) TO GET THIS EMISSION REPAIR COMPLETED ON A VEHICLE WITH ~60K MILES. SINCE THE BODY STYLE AND ENGINE CHANGES FOR THIS FORD SUPER DUTY MODEL DID NOT CHANGE UNTIL 2017 I'M HOPING THIS RECALL WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE 2016 YEAR MODELS AS THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS. THE RECALL I AM REFERRING TO IS FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 18M01. THE ATTACHED PICTURE MILAGE IS NOT REPRESTETATIVE OF THIS VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 60K MILES ON IT. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

HAD TRUCK TAKEN IN SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING LOSS OF ANTI FREEZE TOLD THEM EVERY TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS THE INTER OILER. THEY REPLACED OTHER THINGS SAID THEY HAD TO DO AS MANUFACTURERS SAID. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WITH NO LUCK. IT FINALLY RAN OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY THEN REPLACED A EGR COOLER AND SAID THAT WAS IT CHARGED ME FOR IT THREE DAYS LATER THE CONNECTING ROD WENT THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND BROKE THE CRANK IN SEVERAL PLACES AS THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TRIED TO SAY I WOULDN'T LEAVE IT WITH THEM LONG ENOUGH THEY WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND ANY OF IT INCLUDING CHARGING ME FOR AN EGR COOLER THAT HAD NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO IT NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. THEY HAD THE HEAD PULLED AND WHAT I SAY WAS VERY EVIDENT THAT ANTIFREEZE HAD FLOOD A CYLINDER AND LOCKED IT UP. CAN'T BELIEVE I AM THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I DO HAVE PHOTOS AND PARTS IF NEEDED.WAS IN MOTION DATE MOTOR BLEW UP IS APPROXIMATELY CAN GET EXACT IF NEEDED

AT APPROX. 4600 MILES THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY A COUPLE OF MILES AFTER THE EMISSION REGENERATION STARTED. FORD HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE FOR F350 SUPER DUTY TRUCKS BUILT IN 2016. APPARENTLY THE COMPUTER INCREASES THE FUEL IN ONE SIDE OF THE CYLINDER HEAD IN ORDER TO BURN OFF THE SOOT ON THE EMISSION FILTER. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO BACK FIRE CONTINUALLY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE THOUGHT THAT THE EXHAUST FELL OFF IT SOUNDED SO BAD. THE SHAKING GOT TO BE SO BAD THAT WE HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN IT HAPPENS. THE TRUCK WAS IN THREE TIMES FOR SERVICE AT 5985, 10669 AND 15210. FIRST, FORD DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS IN FOR REPAIR, THE DEALER PULLED OFF THE CYLINDER HEAD AND REPLACED IT. THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. NOW, FORD HAS DECIDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. IT TAKES ABOUT 5000 MILES FOR THE ISSUE STARTS HAPPENING, SO WE WILL SEE IF THE NEW ENGINE DOES THE SAME THING.
