At 4,544 miles the radiator blew apart. (Driving highway/towing) this was replaced under warranty after fighting with ford. At 6,065 miles I had another cooling system leak.(driving local) they had to replace the "small" radiator, the "fuel and turbo" cooler. At 21432 miles the power steering pump went and had to be replaced.(driving/towing/local) shop stated that "fluid was contaminated" (this truck has only been serviced by ford) at 22215 miles I had to have the left rear axle seal, brake pads and lower cac hose for turbo replaced.( driving highway/towing) now at 29,017 miles the radiator tanks have separated from the core and need to be replaced again along with the crank seal and another power steering pump.( combination, highway/local/towing? Not towing) I have checked with ford and their customer service department and they refuse to cover any of this, or any part, under warranty. I have also done research on these trucks having found many other owners having the same cooling system issues along with other issues that ford refused to cover. Please look into this issue, I think they need to have a recall on the cooling systems in their trucks. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would appreciate a response.

Investigation needs to be done on 2008 ford f450sd 6.4L trucks on the bolts that are used in the engine compartment for the exhausts. Have a bolt that broke that IS now causing a whistling sound under acceleration and exhaust fumes to escape. On the driver side four other bolts have broken off in the head unit that will require for the engine or cab to be removed in order to replace the bolts. the repair facility my truck IS located has four other 6.4L ford super duty trucks sitting their for the same repairs. Seems to me there IS an issue with the type of studs and bolts the manufacturer used. Recall needs to be issued to fix this issue. The other trucks were F250, F350, and F450 super duty 6.4L turbo diesel. the exhaust fumes IS definitely a safety hazard.

We are original owners.truck only used to haul drinking water. That IS why the mileage IS low. In march we smelled gasoline in drive but we have several cars and couldn't pinpoint problem or see gas on ground. We had filled up the truck and thought maybe some gas had spilled. After that we had several incidences of driving down road 40-60 mph and truck slowed to 20mph. It stalled and came toa complete stop on a few occasions. We were able to restart it. local shop ran diagnostic check and nothing was evident. Took it to ford dealer today and mechanic says the gas tank has imploded due to crack and dirt got in and fuel pump IS clogged. We have never had any incidence of damage to our vehicle and no incident that would cause the fuel tank to split. We found on the internet a class action lawsuit in 2012 for the same problem and model of vehicle we have.we were never notified of a recall or potential problem. This IS a safety issue as the vehicle suddenly loses power and it IS difficult to steer to the berm.

I was making a left hand turn afyer stoping at a traffic light and loss power. the engine light came on and the turbo pressure gauge dropped. I took the truck into the dealer and the dealer told me that a manafold bolt had broken which caused a bad exhuast leak. Repair cost was $3500. I drove the truck less than 50 miles over the next two days and the problem happened again with loss of power and engine light on. I took the truck back the dealer and was informed that the high pressure fuel pump had exploded and sent metal debris through out the fuel system. I was then told the repair cost were going to $7500 ($6000 for parts and $1500 for labor). This IS a bad ford engineering design problem and should be paid for by ford as well as a recall on all models using the same hpfp assembly.

Driving on interstate when suddenly felt truck vibration. as I pulled off to exit - heard and felt what sounded like an explosion from underneath. when got out to look underneath, noted that half of the transfer case was gone; there was oil spilled all over the ground and gears laying on top of the cross member. Had truck towed to the dealership where purchased. technician said the drive shaft and transfer case needed replacing. unable to say why it occurred. charges over $3,000.00. Had just recently had in shop because of noise from what I thought was the drive shaft, but technician couldn't find anything wrong at that time. bought this used truck just 9 months earlier 2014. plan to speak to owner of dealership to see if we can negotiate this humongous charge. *tr

I travel for work and drive many different types of rental cars. I have had the following occur in more models than I can remember. vehicle accelerates when you apply the brakes. root cause: the elevation / spacing relationship between the brake pedal and the accelerator. Operator error contributes to the problem also. people have a tendency to roll their foot from the gas pedal to the right hand side of the brake pedal. Depending on the angle of their foot, the edge of their shoe will hang over the gas pedal. When they apply the brake they also apply the gas. The engine torque over comes the brake friction and the car accelerates. most of the time when this happens I can remove my foot, relocate it on the brake pedal and safely stop. several times my situation required me to hold the brake / gas pedals in position and quickly use my left foot to apply the brake to prevent an accident. wearing my heavy boots with a large sole increases the frequencies of these incidents. *tr

Vehicle lost complete power while driving on interstate at cruising speed. there were absolutely no warnings, the engine just quit, disabling the vehicle in high speed traffic. the dealer repair was to replace wiring harness for high pressure fuel pump due to wires shorting the engine after the insulation was chafed by internal contact with other engine parts, which was a known issue with this engine for builds prior to august 20, 2007, according to a ford tsb: 07-26-2. this part IS completely internal and not subject to inspection until failure. my family and I were extremely fortunate that we were able to get safely to the shoulder of the interstate with many semi's and cars around us when the failure occurred. also, since engine wouldn't start at all, we were subjected to extreme cold weather conditions while waiting for tow vehicle, over 2 hours. this IS a potential life-threatening defect!! losing all power in seconds without warning in high-speed traffic IS unacceptable, ford! *tr

2008 ford F-450. consumer writes in regards to vehicle radiator failure and denied warranty claim. *smd the consumer was pulling a 27-foot trailer, when suddenly the vehicle the temperature gauge went from normal to completely hot, and a digital temperature gauge lit up. The consumer was able to pull over to the shoulder. He added water to the radiator reservoir and proceeded once again to drive the truck, and trailer, to the next exit. The consumer allowed the engine to cool, added more water and some stop leak into the reservoir. The following day, the consumer took the truck to the dealer. An inspection revealed the radiator failed and caused damage to the engine. The extended service carrier informed the dealership, they would honor the radiator claim, but first they requested the dealer to break down the motor, inspect and take photographs and send them in for analysis. An adjuster from an independent agency performed a thorough vehicle inspection and determined there was no coolant/water in the engine. the inspector further concluded the cause of the overheating was a failed radiator resulting in a complete loss of coolant and the cause of the engine damage was continued operation of an overheated vehicle due to lack of proper fluids.
