Ford F-250 Change Vehicle

"trim work paint fading"

"Living in Arizona the painting clear cote peals off and caused large areas of under colored paint to be exposed. These deteriorate very quickly in the AZ sun. Current paint on autos is designed to fail in sustained sunlight with the heat and UV exposure."

"paint on hood and roof fading badly"

"paint peeled in a area on the bed of pickup - about size of baseball"

"the bed supports are rusting through"

"trouble light comes on when no need to"

"Rear engine crank seal"

"The oil leak is so severe that it lost so much oil in a 300 mile trip that it quit running. The fuel injection system on this 6 liter diesel is run by a high pressure oil pump,so when the oil got low it quit running. You should provide a means to respond on issues not listed in your categories , unless you don't care to hear about any other issues. the items you listed are not among the main complaints about the ford 6 liter diesel. I also had to replace a fuel pump, an injector, and an IPR valve for 2,300 dollars in the last 12 months."

"Engine oil cooler failed allowing oil and antifreeze to mix in wrong systems. Known failure point on Ford for many years however never a recall."

"dealer mechanics could resolve after several trips"

"oil pan and differential cover rusted through"

"vacuum lines broke"

"Lemon"

"All I know is that some seals somewhere were leaking"

"The drag link from the steering box to the other components failed"

"Linkage was slipping so couldn't shift into correct gear."

"Repeated battery failure usually within a few months of warranty exp. so little $replacement credit. Using sealed batteries now. More expensive but lasting better so far."

"Had batteries that were on warranty that to be replaced"

"Harness that goes to oil pressure sensor failed. It's way down in the guts of the engine so intake had to be removed. Very expensive!!!!!"

"ICP sensor on back side of '03 early '04 engines has been known to fail and leak oil. replaced sensor and wiring harness pigtail several times. This is due to location of sensor getting a lot of heat from engine. Late '04 moved ICP for more reliable"

"AT 14500 miles radiator developed leak at the base of the bottom tank, at 10500 miles the EGR cooling radiator in the main radiator developed a leak, this and the turbo was a $4500 repair"

"the thermostat seems to be stuck open as the engine does not get hot enough to provide sufficient hot air for the defroster in the winter. I live in snow country. I am going to have to replace it before next winter."

"Failed in a somewhat atypical way (intermittent belt squeal, no leaks)"

"Universal join went out and destroyed the transfer case"

"Continuing with the rust issue, the front four wheel drive, drive shaft actually broke in half due to the extensive rust. Again, this vehicle has very low mileage and has never been involved with heavy work"

"Universal join went out"

"Muffler rust has cased aloud noise when driving the truck. Very frustrating."

"Sensors in transmission continue to go out not reliable at all"
