I PURCHASED USED IN 2012 AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WITH A VERY WIDE TURNING RADIUS. I'VE DRIVEN OTHER FORDS AT A LOCAL AUCTION HOUSE SAME YEAR/MODEL THAT STEER FINE AND TURN TIGHTER. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN MINE THAT'S DIMINISHING ITS SAFETY AND USABILITY.

2008 FORD F450 6.4L TURBO DIESEL PROBLEMS MY WIFE TRUCK BROKE DOWN ON HER WITH 137000 MILES ON IT COMING BACK FROM SOUTH CAROLINA IN JULY 2016. MECHANICS FOUND METAL SHAVING IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. LONG STORY SHORT, HAD TO HAVE THE LONG BLOCK REPLACED ON THE TRUCK. 15,000 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. APPEARS WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THREE MORE PEOPLE WE KNOW WHO JUST BOUGHT 2008 FORD F450 SD 6.4L TRUCKS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. ONE FAMILIES TRUCK BROKE DOWN ON THEM THREE WEEKS AFTER BUYING IT ON THERE WAY HOME FROM A HORSE SHOW. SAME THING HAPPEN TO THE OTHER FAMILY. COMMON FACTOR IN ALL THREE STORIES...METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL FILTER HOUSING. NONE OF THE TRUCKS WERE LOW ON FLUID. APPEARS 6.4L ENGINES HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS 6.0L ENGINES. INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE ON 6.4L ISSUES AND HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE TO REPAIR THESE ENGINES OR REFUND THE MONEY THAT WAS SPENT TO FIX THESE ENGINES IF REPAIR HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD IN MY 2008 F250 PICKUP (DIESEL) ON 26 JAN 2016 ABOUT 35 MPH, AND CAME UPON A STOP SIGN. I RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL AND STARTED BRAKING. THE ENGINE STARTED ACCELERATING, EVEN THOUGH I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (HIGH), SO ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SPINNING FAST, AND KEPT THE VEHICLE MOVING FORWARD. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET, AND AFTER GOING SEVERAL FEET INTO THE INTERSECTION, IT FINALLY STOPPED. I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND A FEW SECONDS LATER THE PROBLEM STOPPED. I THEN CONTINUED ON MY WAY. THE VEHICLE HAD 37,062 MILES.

RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING A GREEN WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. DATE WAS 12/1/2015. I LOST POWER AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH, I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN TRIED TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AGAIN AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CLEARED. IT WENT BACK TO "NORMAL" AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF THE HIGHWAY. I'VE READ AND ALSO TALKED TO OTHER FORD OWNERS AND THEY HAVE SAID THE SAME THING, IT IS THE (PCM) POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. NOTE: I HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY WITH ME.

WHILE TRAVELLING ON A STRAIGHT, SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL, DRY SECTION OF HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR, AN EXAGGERATED SHAKING BEGAN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS QUICKLY BECAME AN ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE BOUNCING OF THE TRUCK. IT BECAME INCREASINGLY VIOLENT IN JUMPING TO THE POINT IT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I BRAKED AND SLOWED TO UNDER 20 MPH WHEN IT STOPPED. PULLED OVER, CHECKED ALL, NOTHING OUT OF SORTS. NO SIGN OF MECHANICAL FAILURE OR TIRE TROUBLE. FELT LIKE FLAT TIRE AT FIRST.

MY TRUCK BEGAN CUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING EVERY NOW AND THEN. NOW IT IS DOING IT MORE AND MORE. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS, SO A COUPLE OF TIMES I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BAD GAS SO I CHANGED GAS AND STARTING USING AMOCO GAS AND PUT FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER IN MY GAS TANK. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW I AM LOSING PRESSURE WHILE I AM DRIVING. I CALLED FORD MOTORS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING THAT IS IN THE RECALL. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL AND FOR $130.00 I COULD BRING IT IN AND GET A DIAGNOSTIC. THERE HAS BEEN A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND THE VEHICLE STILL STOPS ON ME ON OCCASION. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS. *TR
