This vehicle was manufactured with a defective fuel injector pump that has led to excessive wear and damage to the engine. We have experienced catastrophic failure with a repair estimate pending of over $17,000. When the components failed, our driver was on a dangerous section of road. He was not struck by other traffic, but was left stranded for 7 hours. Our company has purchased 6 of these Ford F250 with 6.7L engines. Ford needs to issue a recall on these systems.
I bough this truck certified preowned from Jenkins Chevy of Homosassa. Big mistake. The truck has been in the shop more than on the road. The truck keeps refusing to start. We replaced the fuel pump and it ran for a few days then wouldn't start again. i replaced the fuel pump again thinking it was a faulty pump. ran for a few days again then stopped. i took it to the closest repair shop ( not ford because i am in Big Pine Key and there is no Ford around) and they hooked it up to the computer to find out it was the fuel rail pressure sensor among other codes. Replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor. Ran for a few days then quit. Now we find out it was the fuel pump relay. This relay is "non serviceable" and quit during driving. Stalled the truck out and wouldn't start again. I am glad i was not on the 7 mile bridge (only 2 lanes) when it died. This si a big problem and could've caused horrible accident!
My vehicle caught on fire. I had been pulling my trailer and I pulled over to park when my truck began smoking. I attempted to open the hood and the truck was on fire. None of the sensors activated and I didn-??t have any indication the truck was overheating.
I was driving my truck with no prior issues nor check engine light warnings, suddenly my truck began to lose speed, warning light came on instrument panel stating something to the effect of reduced power, I heard a loud noise (similar to the sound of a tire blown), as I looked out of the drivers side window I observed flames coming from the left front fender well. I was able to pull out of traffic coasting off into the median. Once in the median My wife and myself had to evacuate the truck immediately for our own safety. the engine compartment was rapidly becoming fully involved with fire. Attempted to extinguish fire with three fire extinguishers, called 911 and waited on fire department to arrive. My truck is now a total lose, I have read that your department has received similar issues that I have described.I felt it necessary to report my issue to hopefully help resolve this issue with Ford trucks.

My wife and children we driving when smoke appeared from the engine area, the engine warning lights came on and the engine lost power, the cab filled with smoke from the vents as she got the truck to the side of the road and used one fire extinguisher that we had in the truck others came and helped extinguish with water as well as police and fire dept. A police report is filed as well as a insurance claim and I have asked for a fire investigation, there is a serious problem with this vehicle. Note: This vehicle was just at 5 star ford for recall updates and no issues were noted.
During a daily regular drive, the steering wheel was wobbling and driver was unable to take control over the vehicle, the vehicle took a longer than expected time to be stopped and almost cause an accident. Vehicle was taken to dealer service, nothing was found.
Upper fuel filter developed a crack on top, spraying diesel fuel all over the interior of the engine compartment. Smelled fuel in the interior vents, then saw smoke trailing the truck in my rear view mirror. Pulled over at a mini-mart, opened the hood and saw the fuel spray fanning out from the top of the filter, along with smoke coming from the engine. Turned off the engine and the spray stopped.Smoke/vapor was reduced. No fire.
The top fuel filter developed a leak at the cap spraying fuel into the engine compartment essentially rendering the truck unusable. Truck has 25K miles on it. Manufacturer maintenance asks for fuel filter change at 30K miles. There is a recall on exact same issue on Ford trucks model 2020 and later but it doesn't cover model 2019 which has exact same fuel filter part. This could have been a potential fire hazard.
