Ford F-350 Change Vehicle

"I've had to replace both front and rear brakes. I always downshift going down steeper hills, so I'm not sure why the brakes are not holding up. I do have a heavy trailer, but since this is an F-350, I would expect the brakes to handle the stopping required for trailers"

"I tow trailers with this vehicle and the rear calipers locked up causing the rotors to over heat. Both were replaced under a purchased extended warranty at no cost"

"driver front caliper locked up"

"Brakes lasted 85000 miles. Most of the miles towing a 18000lb 5th wheel trailer"

"Pulling 30 foot fifth-wheel camper. Started on the way to southern destination. Yes, resolved in closest town."

"Operating in in harsh winter road conditions. Roads treated with salt and liquid deicer.Front calibers started locking up"

"The brake line needed to be replaced. At 130,000 miles, this was not a surprise"

"Because of all the salt on the roads in upstate New York the parking brake system was completely corroded and could not be applied. Had to be replaced."

"Because of my driving style I make very little use of the brakes, i.e., I gauge the next stop light and get off the accelerator rather than drive to the light and apply the brakes. Because of all the salt in upstate New York the calipers stick, wearing the rotors and needed the calipers to be replaced."

"Brakes (= rotors, pads, calipers) last about 30,000 miles, primarily due to rust/corrosion"

"The front calipers in my 2008 Ford F-350 have required recurring replacement: four calipers in 12 years, all front calipers. The calipers don't wear out, but will fail to release hydraulic pressure, causing that wheel to lock up or at the least become extraordinarily hot with very significant pulling towards the failing side. Of course, the vehicle is not driveable in such a condition."

"Self caused brake failure due to towing a 5th wheel RV with Gain braking set to low at 3.5 when should have been around 8.5."

"Regular problem with brake fires. Dealer believes it's caused by the truck not being driven enough"

"check engine light came on . Problem diagnosed as EGR assembly failure and had to replace the entire unit at a cost approaching 1700"

"sensor"

"EGR valve failed. Cost $1,200 to replace"

"The Egr systemm totally failed resulting in major cost of repair"

"Ford needs to recall this DPF system, or provide a better alternative. They crack, and use excessive fuel to clean every 250 miles... at least 610 gallons of fuel and 981 extra miles in one year. Without mileage would be closer to 20 mpg average"

"Fuel consumption has topped significantly with very expensive, short lived and inefficient cat converter removed"

"Had no idea of fuel level"

"Possibly bad fuel with high water content had been used prior to my purchase, or maybe the truck was in a flood, because the fuel system was much clogged with rust and a number of parts had to be replaced."

"Fuel pressure too high fault caused by pump wear at around 185000 miles"

"I had inadvertently put gasoline in the diesel truck due my lack of familiarity with Sinclair pump color coding. When the trucks sensors detected the gas it wouldn’ Start. Initially service center identified a bad fuel pump. While replacing it they found the gas. They cleaned fuel system and replaced fuel filter. It worked out great as the truck runs better and has better fuel mileage."

"fuel pump inside engine had to be replaced. cab of truck had to be removed to gain access. took a week and cost over $4000"

"Low power caused by faulty sensors. Took to a diesel shop and they replaced faulty sensors and reprogrammed."

"2008 - 2011 6.4 liter diesel has well know emissions and cooling system problems. Radiators leak, EGR coolers clog, oil cooler clogs thermostats fail, fan clutches malfunction, head gaskets fail requiring major engine work. Ford sticks owners with repair costs even though they know about the defects. Over $20,000 in repairs to date"

"oil cooler grit build up had to have it replaced $4900"

"Ford unit leaked and was replaced by Japan all aluminum one. It leaked soon after Was under warrenty but labor almost paid for factory unit"

"Radiator failure, at 2,000 miles (replaced)"

"not a lot of miles when it went bad"

"Ford replaced both thermostats due to them being egg shaped"

"water pump seized causing engine to overheat and serpentine belt partially melt due friction from seized water pump pulley. Vehicle had to be towed for repairs."

"water pump failed leaving me stranded on the edge of the highway"

"Water pump housing cracked leaking coolant into the motor"
