Truck continues to have the death wobble as I drive at highway speeds and hit a small porthole or bump in the road. the wobble becomes so severe that I have little to no control over the truck. this has been going on after 6months from purchase date (new) but ford says they can not duplicate. it happens about 1-5X a week and I've nearly hit several other vehicles on the highway each time by swirling during the wobble. I loose directional control. I have had a crash as a result of this.

7/7/17 - 2011 ford F250, 6.7L diesel engine, mileage 79530. (Purchased december 2010). I was pulling a small trailer up an incline (8%) on I-64 in wv. on this portion of the interstate there was no emergency pull off shoulder. the truck operated normally for the first 3 miles ascending the hill. during the 4TH mile, the truck began to gradually, but progressively lose power, going from 70 mph down to 0. at approximately 30 mph, the truck began to shutter slightly, and continued to do so until it stopped in the lane of traffic and stalled. there were no warning lamps or chimes that went off before the engine stalled. this vehicle IS equipped with a 'stop safely now' warning, along with many other warning indicators ' but it didn't illuminate. the truck would not restart. I immediately call 911 to report that my vehicle was disabled in the roadway. after being stuck in the lane of traffic for about 10 minutes, I was able to drift the truck and the trailer backwards safely, off of the roadway, into the drainage ditch, after a break in traffic. upon having it towed to a ford dealership, I was informed that it was going to need a motor, and it sounded like it had spun the bearings on one of the engine rods. the engine would restart at the ford dealership, but idled very rough. I confirmed that there were in fact metal shavings in the oil. the fuel was not checked for contamination. this vehicle has been maintained according to ford's recommended service guidelines. because of the cost to me to repair ($16,000 or more), I've elected not to continue with diagnosis (at $120 per hour) to determine reason for failure. again, there was no warning systems active at the time the engine stalled. this was an original owner, personal vehicle, and only towed a trailer on occasion. I have video from dash cam w/audio of this event.

I purchased a new diesel 2011 F-250 lariat 4X4 crew cab 172' wb. I bought the truck based on the charts in a ford brochure. According to the payload chart on page 39 of the brochure, the payload for my truck should have been 2,210 lbs. according to the towing chart, the payload for my truck should have been 15% of 15,700 lbs., which IS 2,355 lbs. I did not discover the discrepancy between ford's published ratings and the actual capacity of the truck at the time of purchase because there were no foot notes in the printed brochure indicating the published ratings would not apply to my truck and because of where ford placed the tire and loading information label. according to the nhtsa, for 'vehicles other than motorcycles or trailers, the label must be affixed to either the hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the door edge that meets the door-latch post, next to the driver's seating position.' ford placed the label on the body below the b pillar and facing down. the label could not be read when entering the vehicle and could only be read by sitting or kneeling on the ground. I discovered a july 30, 2014 article in automotive news that revealed standard equipment parts were removed from super duty trucks beginning with the 2011 model year when determining the maximum payload. the parts included, but were not limited to, the spare tire, tire jack, radio, and center console. The ford brochure did not indicate that the ratings were established by removing standard equipment. when I contacted ford about the issue, I was told that the discrepancy between the published ratings and my truck's actual payload was due to 'options.' ford's brochure neither foot noted the ratings charts nor disclosed that ford had removed standard equipment to establish the ratings in the charts. *tr *tr

The truck will experience really bad wobble/bounce at 35-55mph speeds. I installed a dual steering stabilizer thinking maybe it just needs an upgrade. The rear end seems to be the problem. Every bump IS felt. The cab moves and rotates back and forth as if someone IS shaking the seat. The tail bed IS visibly bouncing up and down the interstate or any speeds over 40mph. The rear end has too much play in it!!i believe that it IS causing the frame to bend and suspension parts to go bad over time.

Engine - while driving on a highway, went to pass a car and the engine light came on and the message was the engine will be shutting down. I pulled to the side of the road and the truck turned itself off. what the ford mechanic said the #4 fuel injector stayed wide open, therefor burning up the piston. the truck had 128,000. Miles. it IS sad that a small part like that can cause an engine failure. Had to buy a new motor ($15,000. And they would only warranty it for 2 years.) was told I could have my truck back in 5 days. it took 5 wks to get my truck back with the new engine. picked it up at 4PM on wednesday. Thursday at 9:30am check engine light came on. the check engine light has come on three more times.

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this RQ to investigate allegations that the scope and remedy of safety recall 13V-535 were inadequate. Recall 13V-535 was limited to a relatively small population of Ambulance Package vehicles and ODI received complaints of pickup trucks and Fire Engine Prep Package vehicles being affected by the same defect. Ford manufactured approximately 555,985 subject vehicles between February 22, 2010 and January 30, 2015 that may be affected by defective EGT sensors and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software calibration. The subject vehicles are equipped with four (4) EGT sensors to monitor engine operating conditions. An EGT sensor fault may produce false exhaust over-temperature signals. If these signals are produced, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) implements a Failure Management Effects Mode (FMEM) and the driver receives a Stop Safely Now (SSN) system warning on the instrument cluster message center. The FMEM triggers a 70% reduction in available engine power over a period of no more than 45 seconds, during which it may not be possible to accelerate or maintain vehicle speed. The PCM then commands the engine to shut down when vehicle speed reaches approximately 1 mph. There is no immediate restart capability. Depending on the PCM software calibration, ignition key position and ambient temperature conditions, the engine may not restart until the end of a 10-60 minute cool down period.Ford and its component supplier(s) made numerous changes to the PCM software calibration and the design, material and manufacture of the EGT sensors over the period of subject vehicle production. This continuous product improvement affected vehicle performance regarding the alleged defect. Ford acknowledges the defect condition in the subject vehicles but argues that an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety is limited to Ambulance Package and Fire Engine Prep Package vehicles where commanded shutdown could impact emergency response and patient care. Ford also argues that the defect trend is in decline. Ford also initiated a new safety recall (15V-175) to address the 13V-535 remedy concerns in the Ambulance Package vehicles and Fire Engine Prep Package vehicles. The 15V-175 remedy reprograms the PCM with a new software calibration that stops a single EGT sensor fault to cause the vehicle to enter the FMEM shutdown mode.Ford also initiated an EPA emissions recall (14E03) for all subject vehicles that reprograms the PCM with the software calibration employed in safety recall 15V-175. Finally, Ford initiated a Customer Satisfaction Program (15M01) providing extended warranty coverage of 8 years or 80,000 miles for the the EGT sensors on certain MY2011-2012 subject vehicles.Due to the EPA emissions recall, that had a 66.6% completion rate in Ford's December 2015 progress report to the EPA, the defect trend is in decline. ODI is not aware of any crashes, deaths or injuries related to the alleged defect.ODI believes the alleged defect poses a safety risk but notes that the EPA emissions recall is addressing the safety problem.Compelling issuance of a duplicate recall would not represent a wise use of agency resources.Accordingly, this Recall Query is closed.This action is not a finding that no defect exists and NHTSA will take further action if such action is warranted.

- 102377892011-2023 F-Super Duty and 2016-2024 F-650/F-750 vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit an elevated idle condition. During prolonged idle time, vehicles may experience this elevated idle to reduce unburned hydrocarbons from the SCR. The powertrain control module estimates hydrocarbon levels in the SCR and may increase idle speed to remove them. Idle speed will be increased to 1000 RPM for ambient temperatures near 26C (80F) and may increase to 1200 RPM at -40 C (-40F). Vehicles may exhibit exhaust smoke and diesel exhaust fluid smell during elevated idle condition. Exhaust smoke and smell condition will not affect reliability or durability of the engine. Power take-off (PTO) use and idle set point control will disable elevated speed. It is required that the operator monitor the vehicle and adhere to any Exhaust Filter warning messages.
- 10235153For 2000-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, swapping a module from a vehicle for diagnosis purposes is likely to cause errors and is not recommended. It is also not recommended to order a replacement module using a vehicle identification number (VIN) from a different vehicle. Most modules on these affected vehicles are VIN/vehicle specific and hardware variations between modules do exist. Swapping a module from a vehicle or ordering a module using a different vehicle/VIN can cause ineffective repairs and additional vehicle down time. Make sure all appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM) procedures are followed when diagnosing the condition prior to all module replacements and only order modules using the correct VIN.
- 10228867Some 2011-2022 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine may exhibit a ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as Typewriter Noise because of its similarity to the sound of a mechanical typewriter. When engine temperatures reach 150 F (65 C) or higher, (from engine idle up to approximately 1700 RPM's), this noise can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area. Typewriter Noise is not detrimental to engine function or durability and has no short or long term effects on the engine. Do not attempt repairs to eliminate this noise. This noise is characteristic of the 6.7L diesel engine and will typically cease or diminish significantly within the oil change maintenance interval.

- 101865672011-2021 F-Super Duty and 2016-2021 F-650/F-750 vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit a high/elevated idle condition. During prolonged idle time, vehicles may experience this high/elevated idle to reduce buildup of unburned hydrocarbons from the SCR system. The powertrain control module (PCM) estimates hydrocarbon levels in the SCR and may increase idle speed to remove them. Idle speed will be increased to 1000 revolutions per minute (rpms) for ambient temperatures near 26C (80F) and may increase to as high as 1200 rpms at -40 C (-40F). These elevated idle periods can last from 20-40 minutes, depending on ambient temperatures. During power take off (PTO) use and already using idle set point control, the elevated speed is disabled. It is required that the operator monitor the vehicle and adhere to the Exhaust Filter warning messages.
- 10179325Some 2011-2020 F-Super Duty, 2015-2019 Transit, 2016-2021 F-650/F-750 and 2018-2020 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 6.7L, 3.2L or 3.0L engine may exhibit an illuminated MIL with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P207F, P20EE, P229F, P2201 and/or P24AE. This may be a result of using aftermarket cleaning liquids or tools for the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler or intake. Ford does not recommend the cleaning of diesel intakes or EGR coolers using any aftermarket tool that injects a cleaning foam or liquid substance into the EGR cooler or intake. Using these types of fluids can result in sodium poisoning of the NOx and particulate matter (PM) sensors resulting in degraded operation and permanent damage to the after treatment system. Use of these cleaning tools may void the emissions warranty of the hot end after treatment exhaust system and the attached emissions sensors.

- 10164598Some remanufactured 6.7L diesel engines recently installed in 2011-2014 F-Super Duty vehicles may exhibit a lack of power with engine oil temperature (EOT) exceeding 125C (257F) under loads. This may also be accompanied by REDUCED ENGINE POWER being displayed in the message center and the coolant temperature gauge indicating H. This symptom may be due to a missing metering cup plug in the upper oil pan causing reduced oil flow through the oil cooler. Remanufactured engines built on 1-Mar-2019 and through 13-May-2019 may be affected. If a vehicle exhibits this concern, use the Report a Vehicle Concern link at the bottom of the OASIS tab and submit a report. Include the engine serial number and engine build date in the report. The dealership may be contacted for further details and possible repair direction.
- 10164508Some 2010-2020 vehicles may exhibit distorted glass with a subtle orange peel pattern or streaking etched into the surface. This is caused by hydrofluoric acid which is used in some car wash solutions as a cleaning agent. Hydrofluoric acid can attack the glass and cause visual distortion and/or discoloration on the outer surface which cannot be removed by further cleaning. If this type of distortion is found, inspect the area of the glass that is covered by the cowl and/or molding. The portion of glass that is covered by the cowl or molding will not be affected by the acid. Hydrofluoric acid damage is not a defect in material or workmanship and is not a warrantable condition.
- 10162082Some 2011-2019 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L engine may come in for scheduled maintenance on the engine mounted fuel filter. When reconnecting a fuel line quick connect fitting back onto the engine mounted fuel filter housing, push the connector all the way onto the fuel filter connection port. For some vehicles, you may need to depress a retainer clip to lock the quick connect port into place. Once the fitting is latched fully onto the connection port, pull straight backward on the fuel line to verify it is fully latched onto the connection port. Do not bend the fuel line connection when pulling to verify it is connected. Refer to Workshop Manual sections 310-00 for details on quick connect fittings.
- 10160931On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission it is imperative that the converter pilot hub be greased with Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Grease Spray XL-5-A even if grease was not applied from the factory. Also verify that the engine/transmission alignment dowel pins are present as well as the engine crankshaft dowel pin, if equipped, when installing the transmission. Failure to adequately lubricate the converter hub greatly increases the likelihood of the flexplate cracking in the future. Missing dowels may cause a misalignment issue also resulting in a premature failure. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01.

- 10140328Some 2011-2018 F-Super Duty 6.7L diesel equipped vehicles may exhibit a ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as Typewriter Noise because of its similarity to the sound of a mechanical typewriter. When engine temperatures reach 150 ?F (65 ?C) or higher, (from engine idle up to approximately 1700 RPM's), this noise can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area. Typewriter Noise is not detrimental to engine function or durability and has no short or long term effects on the engine. Do not attempt repairs to eliminate this noise. This noise is characteristic of the 6.7L diesel engine and will typically cease or diminish significantly within the oil change maintenance interval.
