Ford F-250 Change Vehicle

"I have had to replace all of the calipers on the truck due to leaking brake fluid out of the pistons. all of them went out within a year of eachother. it is a older truck however I have had much older vehicles that have never needed calipers."

"Calipers froze up due to slave cylinders"

"Calipers all around keep locking up. I'm on my 4th complete set of calipers. Mechanics claim it is a design flaw. Ford will not acknowledge the problem and issue a recall with a redesign."

"Right rear caliper stuck causing wheel to begin smoking. Several months later the left rear one did the same thing"

"Failure of front right brakes while towing a trailer"

"rear caliper froze"

"Front driver's caliper locked the brake on that side. May have caused a fire if I kept driving. Replaced both front calipers. Note: same thing happened on the 2005 F250 identical truck I owned before this one, except it was the left rear caliper"

"Defective calipers requiring total replacement of each one. They would lock up the wheels breaks while driving causing the wheel heat up extremely"

"Fell apart when brakes changed"

"froze up"

"Front left caliper locked up and overheated the rotor and pads"

"Brakes locked up and would not allow vehicle to move without dragging brakes"

"The problem with the calipers was that I had had the vehicle repaired at a service station months before and they had installed the wrong parts. The problem was resolved when I took it to a Ford dealership for service. Lesson learned, Always go to the experts and use genuine Ford parts."

"Replaced rear rotors and calipers and pads"

"Typical wear & tear on brakes. Not unexpected."

"Brakes needed to be Replaced. Normal wear"

"entire brake [parking] system drum, calipers etc. needed to be replaced, consider, general wear and tear"

"Brakes Locked up. Replaced Rotor, Calipers and Pads"

"streering shimmys when crossing bridges that are on an angle"

"I tow a 7700 lb trailer. During a panic stop my rear brakes failed."

"Regular wear on rear rotors"

"The EGR went bad 5-6 times since purchase, clogging up at blowing black smoke and loss of power. We have finally got it running since early 2014 and have not had a problem since then"

"Faulty exhaust gas cooler with turbo damage"

"Turbo failed under warranty. Erg failed 200 miles later"

"The EGR valve on the Diesel engine is unnecessarily expensive to get to. I paid over $3000 to replace a $150 part. Otherwise, the truck and engine are very sturdy and capable"

"not functioning"

"Fuel tank sensor failed, had to have tank emptied, dropped and sender replaced, $1700."

"fuel injector"

"Fuel Injection Control Module failed due to the low powered alternator installed by Ford for this model which does not produce enough power for a diesel and causes FICMs and batteries to fail prematurely. Installed a higher powered alternator"

"Fuel Injection Control Module replaced"

"The 6.0 are notorious for having issues. Fuel injectors having to be replaced several times. EGR valve and turbo replacement as well. Also had to replace Oil Cooler"

"Rebuilt injectors going bad. Recommend only using new injectors. This has been a reliable vehicle, I would expect to have to replace injectors with over 300,000 miles on it"

"all injectors failed"

"replaced injectors replaced alternator"

"failed"

"truck would not start"

"Seals fail and cause oil leaks. Need a more robust design. In this day and age there should be no leaks."

"I had to replace spark plugs, which is a real problem on this year range vehicle. I now have engine light come on occasionally. My problem checker says It has to do with sensors.."

"Many times sensors go out because they are too sensitive if they are used as a work vehicle and are used often"

"Newer Diesels have so many sensors, and with 300,000 miles on vehicle some of them are going to go bad. Normal wear"

"It started as occasionally not starting and then it would start after several attempts. It eventually would not start at all after about six months. $1200.00 ,later it was fixed."

"head bolts expanded, had to do an EGR delete or other recommended upgrades inherent to the 6.0 liter diesel"

"The engine is a piece of $*!!. I could spend $6000.00 on EGR delete, head bolt/head gasket/oil pick up, to make it more "dependable," but I shouldn't have to when I spent over $55,000 for the truck brand new. Ford knows this. I will never buy another"

"Turbo replacement, EGR system replacement, Fuel pump and high pressure rail replacement, oil cooler replacement, glow plug system replacement, fuel injector system work"

"Bad motor, ejectors, this year was a defect, that FORD DID NOT STAND BEHIND. Not only did I pay for the truck, but then had to pay for a motor work at the tune of $12K. So, my $18K truck is now a 30K truck. BUYER BEWARE on this year of FORD TRUCK"

"Problem started several months ago, have been to 3 mechanics. Final recommendation is to replace the engine. Problem is in the timing, spark plugs checked, filters replaced. Truck is now stalling when not moving. In the past, it cost $1100 to have spark plugs replaced. Ford Motor Company refunded $400."

"blew a head gasket"

"Head gasket, injectors, disabled egr valve. Replaced with some kind of chip. Now getting 15mpg with lots more power. $8000.00"

"Diesel 6.0 known for head bolt issues. I had the Heads pulled, EGR bypass, High pressure fuel pump. EGR cooler, new head bolts and gasket. the entire cab has to come off for this. Cost over $6000.00 (dealer $ was $10,000)"

"Turbo started to wine very loud. Ford replaced something and it was fixed."

"Replaced factory turbo in April 2007. Have had issues with the EGR valve and EGR coolers in past. I now add 4 ounces of Motorcraft Cetane Boost to every fill up and the EGR problem has been reduced significantly. When I pull hills (Rockies) my check engine light comes on from time to time. I plug my scan tool in and the codes come back as a boost problem. After identifying the problem, I clear the code. I can still drive the vehicle without any problem. The system could be beginning to clog up again with particulates creating this. I need to take it to my mechanic. The truck operates fine."

"Turbo rusted and was poorly repaired--needed second repair"

"Turbocharger "Cokes" up resulting in engine check light turning on. This condition is carbon solidifying thereby freezing the turbocharger from functioning"

"I was told there was a plugged oil cooler and/or filter which caused the turbo to constantly oscilate the RPMs up and down at virtually all speeds. Besides driving the occupants crazy I'm certain it also detracted from the power and fuel efficiency"

"The turbo supercharger quit working, had it rebuilt under warranty"

"Turbo failed on a trip pulling 5th wheel trailer. It would overload and stop working. It would work again after shutting down the engine and restarting"

"turbo blades distorted and loosened at very low milage"

"had to replace EGR cooler and have the turbo cleaned"

"We were moving from California to Texas and the Ford was towing a 15 ft "tow hauler" with some 2 small All Terrain Vehicles and tires. The turbo went out 35 miles into the trip. Limped into a reputable garage which was closing soon. Garage fixed th"

"$4000 in repaires for inter coolers because Ford anti-frees wa not used"

"Clamp broke"
