2016 Ford F-350 Sd

VEHICLE HAS 10K MILES ON IT. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, VEHICLE SHUT UP, AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. TOOK TO DEALER, STATED IT WAS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, THAT THE FUEL PUMP IN THE TRUCK BLEW UP AND SENT METAL SHREDS THROUGH THE FUEL RAIL SYSTEM AND INTO THE ENGINE. FORD DENIED THE WARRANTY STATING THE FUEL WAS CONTAMINATED WITH TO MUCH WATER. UPON HAVING MY FUEL TESTED, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS NOT CONTAMINATED AND THEY PAID 9000 OF REPAIR COST, AND I PAID 1000. I HAVE TWO VEHICLES (THE OTHER WHICH I WILL ALSO MAKE A COMPLAINT AS WELL) AND BOTH VEHICLES HAVE UNSAFETLY SHUT OFF AND LOST POWER. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, THE FUEL PUMP IN THE TRUCKS IN NOT RATED FOR THE LUBRICITY THE DIESEL FUEL IN AMERICA OFFERS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS WHO SAID THE PUMP WILL BLOW UP IF YOU DO NOT USE A FUEL ADDITIVE. FUEL SPECIFICALLY STATES TO USE UNITED STATES ULTRA LOW DIESEL FUEL IN THEIR SYSTEM, AND DOES NOT REQUIRE THEIR CONSUMERS TO USE FUEL ADDITIVES. THE PUMP IS NOT RATED, AND FORD IS PUTTING THESE PUMPS IN THEIR TRUCKS KNOWING THEIR NOT RATED FOR ULSD IN THE UNTIED STATED.

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.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 101 AND HIT A BUMP GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THERE WERE 4 ADULT MALES IN THE TRUCK. AFTER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING "VIOLENTLY." EVERYONE IN THE TRUCK WAS SCARED. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHEN THE TRUCK GOT TO ABOUT 35 MPH, THE VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED. ON MY RETURN BACK HOME ON THE SAME TRIP, AGAIN THE SAME EXACT SITUATION HAPPENED WHEN I DROVE OVER A LANE DIVIDER. MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOW OUT OF ALIGNMENT FROM WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO HARPER MOTORS IN EUREKA, CA (ROBERT BARRERA SERVICE MANAGER 707-443-7311) TO BE CHECKED OUT ON JUNE 28, 2017. THE R/O NUMBER WAS 785884/1. THEIR RESULT WAS THE FOLLOWING AND DOCUMENTED "CUSTOMER STATES AROUND 60-65 MPH SLIGHT RIGHT TURN OVER LANE DIVIDERS FRONT END SHOOK HEAVILY HAS HAPPENED TWICE. CHECK AND ADVISE. WORK PERFORMED BY TOM CURTIS. TEST DROVE UNIT TO TRINIDAD AND BACK UNABLE TO VERIFY CONCERN. INSPECT FRONT SUSPENSION ALL COMPONENTS LOOK GOOD. NO CONCERNS FOUND MADE CUSTOMER AWARE." NOTHING WAS DONE TO MY TRUCK TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE NOR WAS MY STEERING WHEEL PLACED BACK INTO ALIGNMENT. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND KNOW THIS IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT LESS THAN 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING, I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO HARPER MOTORS FOR A FULL INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE. AT THAT TIME, MY TIRE PRESSURE WAS ALSO CHECKED.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, WITH THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK POINTING UP THE SLOPE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL, THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED, AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED FROM NEUTRAL TO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT UNATTENDED, AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT, IT ROLLED 10-15 FEET BACKWARDS, WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, AND THE PARKING BRAKE FULLY APPLIED. IT WAS FOUND STOPPED ON LEVEL GROUND. UPON REALIZING WHAT HAPPENED, I REPEATED THE PARKING PROCESS USING THE SAME SHIFT SEQUENCE, D-N-P, WITH THE SAME RESULTS. ADDITIONALLY, I TRIED PARKING THE TRUCK POINTING DOWN A SLOPE. IN THIS SITUATION, THE TRUCK ROLLED FORWARD, AND HAD TO BE STOPPED USING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHO I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TOOK NO ACTION TO INVESTIGATE OR REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION.

THE BRAKE DUST FROM THE STOCK OEM BRAKES BITES INTO THE RIMS OF THE STOCK WHEELS AND CANT GET IT POLISHED OUT , EVEN THE DEALER IN LABELLE FORD FL AGREES BUT FORD WILL NOT WARRANT THESE UNDER MY 12000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER . THEY DECLINED BECAUSE I DONT WASH IT OFTEN ENOUGH (I WASH IT WEEKLY , DID I EVER GET A WASHING SCHEDULE FROM THEM?) TWO WEEKS AGO I MET A YOUNG MAN WITH A NEW F250 AND HAD THE EXACT SAME WHEELS AND AND GUESS WHAT, HE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. HE STATED THAT HE WASHES HIS TRUCK ALMOST DAILY.
