On my 2115 ford f 350 powerstroke diesel the check engine light came on and it de rated the power. i read the cel code and its pb20a which is a redactant heater performance failure. this problem is covered under warranty for all models 2011-14, f250-f 550 and 2015 f450, f550 only. ford isn't covering the f250 of f350 in the 2015 years. my truck meets the date and manufacturing plant criteria and it is no drivable because of this emissions control part failure. the redacdant heater keeps the diesel exhaust fluid from freezing and renders the vehicle un drivable when it falis.
Diesel exhaust fluid reductant heater fault, check engine light has illuminated and is not covered under previous recalls. recurring problem for ford super duty that needs to be extended for this model as it is the same problem that previous attention was given to. it is a emissions problem that fails on these trucks.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-350. while driving 55 mph and making a left turn, the vehicle shook and the check engine indicator illuminated. the contact diagnosed the vehicle and stated that it needed a reductant heater control. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle did not meet the criteria for the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
The car couldn't drive on highway, smoke and huge transmission fluid leakage, towed to the nearest ford dealer dealer note "inspected and found broken trans cooler line causing concern, replaced trans cooler lines, cleaned off, topped off fluid and road tested, ok" ford f-350 2015, odometer 4065 miles
After placing the vehicle in park i left to go into a building. on my return the vehicle was gone and was found down the block and was involved in an accident. it apparently drove off on it's own. video of the accident confirmed that no one was driving. as the driver, i did put the vehicle in park and could not figure out what happened. the parking break was not applied. the only conclusion was that some how the vehicle slipped into gear.
I have a f350 2015 vehicle, having an engine knock noise and hesitation problems right after the engine knocks. i have experienced these concerns five times. the dealership is saying is a characteristic of the vehicle due to california regulations. there is a tsb to the concern that i am having, but i don't think my vehicle should have the heads rebuilt since i just purchased it back in dec 2015. what is the state doing to have this concern resolve? i brought it in two days ago to the dealership and since after the 4th time of the engine knocked the check engine light came on they ended up replacing a sensor. i picked up the vehicle from the dealership yesterday and on my way home, the engine knocks to happen again. i am waiting on fmc to call me and tell me what they are going to do now. the vehicle has two other problems a windshield noise at 60 to 70 miles per hour on windy days. they resealed the windshield the problem exists. they are telling me, that unless they duplicate the issue, they can't do anything. i showed them a video that i recorded during the concern happening, but they are ignoring it. i showed them a video that someone else posted on you tube same concern. however, since they cannot duplicate they cannot do anything that is their answer. i also have a problem of the transmission, harsh shift as slow speeds same thing can't duplicate is what the work order from the dealership states. what can i do to have this vehicle looked at for the concerns i am having? it has been in the dealership four times since i bought it.
During regeneration of the diesel particulate filter the truck loses power and operates roughly. this last occurred as i was merging into traffic on the highway during slick road conditions. this could have very easily resulted in loss of traction and/or collision as i was unable to accelerate to speed.
Episodes of violent shaking and poor engine performance during regenaration. this has been a on going issue. ford claims it is cause by the computer and a reprogram will be out in march 2016. i feel the truck is unsafe to drive specially on icy roads.
