This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving 60 mph, in heavy rain, flat roadway the vehicle down shifted from 6th gear to 4th and from 6th gear to 3rd several times. The shift to 3rd from 6th was hard and accompanied by a temporary loss of forward momentum. No check engine light came on. All temperature gauges remained within normal range. The tachometer jumped and fell wildly during each of the events. I pulled off the highway at the next exit, turned off the ignition, and waited a few minutes. I restarted the truck and proceeded without additional problems.
On 7/23/23 I experienced the death wobble in my 2014 F350 for at least the fifth time since purchasing the truck 4 years ago. This time was the most violent, scary and dangerous time of all. I was on an interstate, in heavy traffic, traveling at 65 miles per hour. Previous incidents have resulted in repairs to the suspension. Everything from tie rod ends, stabilizers and shocks. This most recent incident required that the steering damper to be replaced. All total, I have spent at least $3,000 in repairs in the last 4 years for this problem alone. Not to mention that I fear for me and my wife-??s safety.
Apim sync module went out. This module services several components and has been issue in multiple models. Out of warranty by a year. Have to pay out of pocket. Blue def tank heating element causes check engine light. This is part of exhaust. Should be addressed.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-350. The contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to faith's Ford (802-258-2400, located at 1147 putney rd, brattleboro, vt 05301) where it was diagnosed that the reductant heater assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not covered by the extended warranty and refereed the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 109,310.
I purchased this pickup 3 months ago, and the engine light is on. The Ford dealer has been working on it weekly, even talking with engineers from Ford, but it still comes on after resetting. They have replaced the computer, wiring and sensor but it still shows the same code. The light comes on whether I'm towing or not going down the road.
