Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford f-250. the contact found metal shrapnel in the fuel system, which traveled to the engine. multiple unknown warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the battery was changed. the mechanic diagnosed that the fuel injectors and fuel pump needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 188,180.
The f250, 2012, 6.7l, diesel emissions system emits diesel particles into the cabin of the truck. the particles are fine and are a health risk. the particulate filter has been changed several times, but the particles can be seen on the door jams leading into the truck. these particles are fine mist and enter into the cab as well because the cab isn't air tight and the particles into the cab and when breathed in can cause not only lung damage, but cancer. the vehicle has been well maintained.
2012 f250 bought new 2013 46,000 miles. driving on road. no warning whatsoever. shuts down. dealer informs me, water in fuel, not covered by warranty. $9700 repair bill!
When attempting to accelerate for passing slower traffic, vehicle lost power and went into the limp mode. problem seems most present at around 2000 rpm while attempting to increase speed. it appears that this problem is occurring when the turbo boost is increased. research of this problem has shown that many owners are experiencing this same problem with the eco boost engine in this and other year models. the nhtsa began an investigation in 2012 but dropped the probe when ford said they had resolved this issue. no recall has been issued for this problem but it is definitely a "safety issue" for drivers of this equipment. headed for the ford dealership tomorrow to see how this can be resolved.
Truck give me a stop safely now massage and shut down the motor in the middle of nowhere looked it up on the internet told me it was a bad egt censor had to have the truck towed would not restart
Takata recall vehicle engine failure at speed, failed egt sensor caused the truck to shut-off in the middle of an interstate
I got on the highway and was doing a turnaround when i accelerated to enter the highway lanes a warning light that said reduced engine power appeared on my dash. approximately 200' later my truck died on the highway. my high pressure fuel pump went out and apparently disintegrated sending aluminum shavings throughout my entire fuel system. the fix is to replace the entire fuel system at a cost of $11,200. the ford company is claiming the fuel was contaminated and caused the pump to rust and go out. i have never got a water in fuel warning light on my truck and have had all the required maintenance done on the truck. the insurance company had a lab do a sample of the fuel in my truck and the fuel met all the astm requirements. *tr
We were driving in the left lane of four lane highway (two lanes each way) when the sensor warning came on saying stop safely soon. my husband started to move to the right. the traffic was very light. before we could get into the right lane the truck died. had we been in heavy traffic we would have been stalled in the highway. i am reporting this out of concern for other diesel truck drivers. ford dealer said cause was bad exhaust gas temperature egt sensor and we paid over $1000 to have all 4 sensors replaced. this has caused us to lose faith in our truck and we traded it in for a newer model.
