2016 Ford F-250 Sd

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 70 NEAR GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO ON DECEMBER 23, 2016. DRIVING 75 MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) WITH NO CARS NEARBY. IT WAS A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF INTERSTATE. DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR, NO SNOW OR ICE ON THE ROAD. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 40 DEGREES F AND SUNNY. INTERIOR TEMPERATURE WAS SET ON 69 DEGREES F. OUT OF NOWHERE, THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED, BLOWING A HUGE HOLE THROUGH IT. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BULLET HAD GONE OFF. THERE WERE NO ROCKS NOR SHELL CASINGS FOUND IN THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, WE HAD THE SUNROOF VISOR CLOSED AND DID NOT GET INJURED BY GLASS. THERE WAS BROKEN GLASS ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE HEADLINER. WE WERE VERY STARTLED AND THE DAMAGE WAS APPROX $2217 TO FIX. FORD DENIED THE WARRANTY CLAIM (VEHICLE ONLY HAD 22K MILES AND WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES THAT WE HAD PURCHASED). THANKFULLY MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING BECAUSE I WAS PANICKED AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE TRUCKS DIESEL ENGINE SPORADICALLY SHUDDERS/SPUTTERS/STALLS CREATING A LOSS OF POWER AND DOESN'T RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT. THE ISSUE OCCURS SPORADICALLY WHILE CLEANING THE EXHAUST FILTER. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES AND IT HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES. THE DEALER HAS REFLASHED THE SOFTWARE ONCE. IT IS CURRENTLY AT A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THE PAST 30 DAYS. THEY STATED THEY ARE REPLACING THE VALVES ON THE LEFT SIDE( HEAD) AND MAY SEND THE HEAD TO A MACHINE SHOP.

THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT IS NOT GUARDED. POOR DESIGN, I HAVE A FLEET OF FORD TRUCKS. I HAVE A 2010 F250 CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP, FORD HAS A FACTORY SHIELD COVERING THE EXPOSED FUEL LINES. FORD IS ALSO NOT COVERING THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TRUCK WITH THIS DAMAGE. FUEL WAS SPRAYING ON THE EXHAUST FOR A WHILE BEFORE IT DIED.

WHEN USING DELAY WIPERS OR HARD RAIN VISION IS IMPAIRED AS THE WIPER RETURNS TO HOME POSITION. A HUGE POOL OF WATER IS PULLED BACK ACROSS WINDOW IMPAIRING VISION. DEALER REPLACED WIPERS, WAXED WINDOW NO HELP. WE DROVE OTHER VEHICLES ON LOT, THEY DO THE SAME THING. DEALER ACID WASHED THE WINDOW, WHICH MAKES IT EVEN WORSE. I HAVE A BLURRED VISION LIKE WHEN YOU SEE HEAT OFF THE ROAD IN THE HORIZON. VISION IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING INTO SUNLIGHT OR AT NIGHT WHEN HEAD LIGHTS HIT THE WINDOW. FORD WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO FIX. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A OVER A MONTH NOW. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 2400 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. I HAVE WORKED IN THE AUTO MFG BUSINESS SINCE 1989 IN QUALITY CONTROL WITH SOME PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH WIPERS AND WINDSHIELDS.

09/05/2016 PURCHASED 2016 FORD. 11/24/16 FUEL FILTER PLUGED, REPLACED AT LANDERS FORD BENTON AR.12/23,2016 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CODES P008A, LOW FUEL PRESSURE/ AND P0170 , SOMETHING TO DO WIOTH THE FUEL) TOOK TO DONLEY FORSD GALION OHIO. THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO BUT SUGESTED CHANGING THE FUEL FILTERS. TRUCK WAS UNDER WARANTY BUT CHARGED ME TO DO SO MILEAGE WAS 27,486. 1/12/16 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN TOOK TO HACIENDA FORD EDINBURG, TX FOUND CODES P0170 (SECOND TIME) AND P229F SOME KIND OF SENSOR. THEY CHECKED THE FUEL AND FOUND METAL IN THE FULE FILTER, LINES AND TANK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP HAD FAILED AND THAT IS WHERE THE METAL WAS COMMING FROM. THEY REPLACED FUEL SYSTEM KIT, 8 INJECTORS, HIGH PRESSURE PUMP,STEEL LINES,RETURN LINE, FUEL FILTERSAND FLUSHED FULE LINES AND FUEL TANK. MILEAGE WAS 29446. I LOST A HALF TANK OF FUEL APPX 15 GALS. AND HAD TO PAY $19.74 FOR FUEL TO RESTART THE TRUCK. I BELIEVE MY LOST FUEL AND THE OTHER SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVEWRED UNDER WARANTY. I FORGOT TO MENTION THE PARTS WERE UNDER BACK ORDER AND I HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL DAYS FOR THEM TO GET THE PARTS. REPAIRS COMPLETED 1/21/16 MIOLEAGE 29,362. 04/12/16 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN P0170 AGAIN MILEAGE 45240 WAS TOLD BY DONLEY FORD THAT THEY WILL MONITER SOMETHING CALLED OASIS FOR REPAIR PER SSM#45737. SO FORD DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS OR HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM.I USE MY TRUCK FOR WORK, TRANSPORTING RV TRAILERS SO I NEED TO RELY ON IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I DO NOT HAVE MUCH CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE.
