2010 Ford F-250

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FROM 2010 TO CURRENT I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND A TRANSMISSION OVERFLOW RELIEF VALVE. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS KEEP POPPING THE STUDS WHICH ALLOWS FUMES INSIDE THE TRUCK UPON A $2000.00 BILL EVERY TIME... THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE WHOLE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO FALL RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRANS OVERFLOW....EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS IT SPITS THE FLUID OUT ALL OVER THE EXHAUST WHICH CAUSES A FIRE EVERYTIME. I HAVE BEEN REPORTING THESE PROBLEMS SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK.THESE PROBLEMS NEED TO BE ADRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 THE HANDLE WOULD NOT OPEN THE TAIL GATE WE WERE PULLING OUR 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. WE WERE ABLE TO RAISE THE CAMPER HIGHER THAN THE TAIL GATE TO HOOK UP THE CAMPER. WE TOOK IT TO FORD IT WAS DIAGNOSIS AND SAID THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS AROUND $278.90. WE SAW THE NEXT WE WERE CAMPING IN THE SAME CAMP GROUND AFTER OUR REPAIRS WERE MADE ANOTHER FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY NOT SURE WHAT YEAR IT WAS BUT IT LOOKED AS IF IT WAS A 2010 THE OWNER WAS ALSO HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE TAIL GATE OPEN ON HIS TRUCK BUT HE WAS HAULING A TAG ALONG CAMPER. IS THERE ANY RECALL PROBLEMS WITH THE TAIL GATES ON THESE TRUCKS. THIS WAS AT 80331 MILES. WE ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TRACK BAR AND TRACK BAR BALL JOINT AND DRAG LINK . WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE F SERIES SUPER DUTY. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS. THIS WAS DONE IN JUNE OF 2017 WITH 100778 MILES. WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT END WOULD SHAKE SO BAD THAT YOU HAD TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND LET THE TRUCK SLOW DOWN BY ITSELF. IT HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED AND AT 70 MPH WITH ME ONE DAD IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT WHEELS WERE GOING TO BOUNCE RIGHT OFF THE TRUCK AND VERY SCARY FOR A WOMEN I WAS AFRAID TO PUT ON THE BRAKES SO IT WAS A RUFF RIDE TILL IT SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS WAS AT A COST OF$1,133.32. IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET A FEED BACK ON THIS INFORMATION IF POSSIBLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 40 MPH, WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRUCK BEGIN TO SHAKE TO THE POINT OF NON CONTROL. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY 3 MECHANICS AND REPLACED BALL JOINTS, STABILIZERS, TIE RODS, ETC. NOBODY CAN FIX IT. FORD WON'T ADMIT ANYTHING IS WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE ENGINE REVVED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL, SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WAS COASTED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (SIMMONS ROCKWELL, 7327 NY-54, BATH, NY, 607-770-7600) AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 165,000.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITIONS SENSOR FAILS RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE SPEED REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THIS HAPPENED WITH SPEED GOING FROM 55 TO 15 ALMOST AS IF PUTTING ON BRAKES. DEALER REPLACED APPS AND IT FAILED AGAIN IN LESS THAN 18 MONTHS. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BUT SURELY COULD HAVE IF OTHER DRIVERS WERE FOLLOWING CLOSER.

THE IGNITION SOMETIMES TURNS OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START VEHICLE THE IGNITION WILL GET STUCK IN THE FAR ON POSITION. IF YOU DON'T NOTICE THIS AND START TO DRIVE AND HIT A BUMP THE KEY WILL SPRING BACK TO THE OFF POSITION CAUSING POWER LOSS. THE KEY ALSO GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND NOT ABLE TO REMOVE IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE AND HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALLS ON IT. TODAY I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND DID NOT NOTICE THE KEY STUCK IN THE FAR ON POSITION. I DROVE AWAY FROM Y RESIDENCE AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE KEY WENT BACK TO THE OFF POSITION AND MY VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED AND PULLED OVER TO RESTART VEHICLE. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE IGNITION SWITCH GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND DOES NOT RELEASE TO THE NORMAL POSITION. GETTING STUCK CAUSES THE HEATER AND THE RADIO OR ANY OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICE INSIDE THE VEHICLE NOT TO WORK. TO MAKE THESE DEVICES WORK, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN THE IGNITION ONE NOTCH TOWARDS THE DRIVER. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LOUD RATTLING NOISE BETWEEN THE BODY AND FRAME OF THE VEHICLE TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE ON THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.
