Was driving down the road and the truck started leaking diesel everywhere. we took the truck to the dealership where they said that when the filter clogs the truck doesn't turn off it sprays fuel out of the top of the filter housing. this is dangerous as my wife was driving the truck and sitting in the truck for several minutes with it running not realizing it was leaking . it could have caught on fire.
Vehicle was parked at home and not running. engine block heater was plugged in. some time within an hour of plugging the block heater in the engine caught fire and was extensive enough to call the fire dept. insurance company declared truck a total loss with no cause of the fire determined
Vehicle has a hopping that occurs at speeds of 40-80 mph, have tried several remedies, none of which work. hopping sensation is so severe that i would be worried to put children in the back seat of the vehicle. manufacturer is aware of the problem, has a tsb in an attempt to remedy the problem. the manufacturer number of the tsb is 16-0087. manufacturer claims issue is caused by frame flex. no known fix for the issue. engine also has a consistent issue of putting diesel fuel into the engine oil, manufacturer also claims this issue is "normal"

Engine runs rough during exhaust regen. typically when driving between 55-65, the diesel exhaust fluid warning appears. almost a minute later the truck begins to make loud jack hammer noise and loses power. feels very unsafe as you lose power for about 10 seconds.
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.

During regeneration there is a jackhammering effect and it shakes the whole truck. sounds like the valves are going to come out of the engine
