Truck was taken to green ford peoria il. for recall on the crankcase ventilation recall. after receiving my truck back the next day truck threw another engine light on and truck was returned that day to find reductant heater code was showing. my truck of course is a 2016 f350 with the 6.7 found recalls for previous years but not this truck year, same exact issue. i left the dealership preparing to enter the highway, truck was still under full power as i merged into heavy traffic speeding up to merge the truck lost power. i nearly was rear-ended as the traffic was moving at 70 mph. i was able to throw my flashers on and get to the side of the road. after speaking with the advisor at green ford i was told my truck went into limp mode. i purchased the truck used with 92k miles and have only put 3k on it since. i'm very dissapointed in this issue as i've seen it's a very common thing to happen. the recall should be extended to the 2016 6.7 just as the previous years
The reductant heater recall needs to extend to at least my 2016 truck. they have had excessive failures. my last truck was included in the recall (warranty extension-program 18m01). this recall was given in 2018 and they should have included more than just 2012 to 2015.
While driving on i-75 in the passing lane at between 70-75 mph, approaching macon,ga. our vehicle slowed way down. we were able to make it to exit 167 before vehicle quit running. vehicle quit on the exit ramp, less than a mile from where it 1st began slowing down. vehicle was towed to riverside ford in macon. upon examination by ford mechanic, while there was no water in the fuel, there was a slight amount of rust around rim and metal in the fuel filter. we had vehicle towed home. on monday we had the vehicle towed to robbie roberson ford in waycross, ga. upon examination of the fuel system by one of their mechanics the same determination was made., slight rust around rim of fuel filter and metal in the filter. at no time did the water sensor light come on. the fuel pump had exploded. ford assumed no liability although the vehicle is still under warranty. the vehicle fuel system should not be so sensitive that the fuel pump explodes just because of a little rust probably caused by condensation. had we not been able to exit i-75 and the vehicle quit in traffic this could have resulted in a major accident with multiple injuries/deaths. ford is aware they have an issue because they have a kit to fix it but refuse to acknowledge problem.
