Driving on highway at 70 mph, hit bump in the road and the whole front end starts wobbling so bad and had to slow way down to get it to stop. Was almost rear ended by vehicle behind me and car pulled beside me and was pointing at front of truck, so I thought I had a flat. Pulled off road and no flat, scared me so waited a few minutes and proceeded on. This has happened on a couple occasions, always when hit a by spot in road, once going over smooth railroad tracks. Also will be driving and foot on gas pedal and all of sudden have no power. Truck will loose all power out of nowhere while driving and other times will drive just fine. Have had trouble in the electrical system with it starting, have replaced batteries twice and periodically will not turn over, it's like the batteries are completely dead when they are not.

While drivingmy Ford F350 crew cab longbed diesel 4X4 at 70 mph on interstate 10, a 4 lane hwy in each direction, the truck lost all engine power and power assist to the brakes and power steering. Luckily the traffic was light and I was able to maneuver the off the hwy without coming in contact with another vehicle. The truck was towed to a Ford dealership and it was determined that the high pressure fuel pump came apart and put metal shaving everywhere throughout the fuel system. Ford recommended replacing all of the high pressure system this included all new fuel injectors. This repair cost $9,000.. a search of the internet revealed that this is a known failure. I had an independent lab test the fuel. There were no contaminants in the fuel except the metal shaving from the pump. ( the Ford fuel system recirculates the excess fuel back to the tank) the truck has 115000 miles. I had the Ford maintenance agreement with the 5000 mile services option. Ford has provided all of the service including the ones after the maintenance agreement ended. This is a very expensive repair to undertake on a 7 year old vehicle. Engineering changes could have prevented the extent of the damage. A post pump filter or screen would have prevented the rest of the high pressure system from needing replacement. An advisory about the potential pump failure and replacing the pump before failure would have costed less than $2000. Had I been towing near full gcwr, 21,000 lbs and come up on los angeles stop and go traffic, this could have be a terrible accident.

Pickup with just under 50,000 miles has now had a "failed" oil cooler. We take immaculate care of our vehicles. I would like to know how many other 2011 Ford F-350 Super Duty diesels have had an issue with a failed oil cooler as such low miles. No warning lights came on - it was "found" during a routine oil change (that there was oil in the coolant bay). This is a huge repair cost for a vehicle that has low miles.

This 2011 Ford 350 diesel had a catastrophic engine failure on January 26,2016 while driving down nc highway 113 pulling a hay trailer. The mileage was 136,539, the vehicle was well maintained, and the engine suddenly stopped running with oil blowing out of the front base of the engine. I bought the above Ford 350 on February 13, 2014 from nostalgic motor cars in amherst, va. The truck was extremely clean, well maintained, and had 112,156 miles. The truck ran well for almost one year until 136,539 miles. On January 26, 2016 there was a catastrophic engine failure. The engine locked as we were traveled on highway 113 here in alleghany county, nc. No warning lights whatsoever were displayed. There was a sudden loss of power and oil was spewing from the front of the engine. We immediately stopped the vehicle on the side of the road. Bill's garage of West jefferson, nc charged $100 to haul the truck to blue ridge truck and equipment. Kelly joe barker, an experienced diesel mechanic and owner of blue ridge truck examined the truck and found the crankshaft was locked up. Front seals and bearing from around crank shaft had spewed oil. In his opinion, an internal engine component had broken and the engine seized. We ordered a new Ford engine from piedmont truck center in greensboro, N C. it took 6 weeks to arrive. The cost of the repair is excess of $16,000. While the engine was removed, we had kelly joe do any and all maintenance and repairs as reflected on the bill. The original engine was returned. The 6.7 engine was recommended to me as being a great engine, and was good until this catastrophic failure. A Ford F350 6.7 must last more than 136,539. Ford took the old engine when the new engine was purchased, but they have denied any responsibilty for the engine.

Started the truck and was running odd. Decided to start driving to see if the problem would work it self out and started to smell lots of diesel fuel. Pulled over and fuel was everywhere under the hood and on the ground and also a very strong diesel smell inside the cab. Had it towed to the deal and turns out that a fuel injector clamp failed. We also found out Ford has already identified these parts as defective, and have started using a new part with a new part number. This should be a recall. This truck only has 61,000 miles on it. The fuel is atomized in the spray from the injector, this is a serious safety issue that could have resulted in a fire, or worse.

While traveling North bound on the Maine turnpike at mm 34 I experienced a loss of power. I was in the left lane with heavy traffic. I made my way safely to the right hand breakdown lane. I noticed white smoke coming from under the hood. I heard a popping sound. After I stopped, the engine was still running, but smoke was coming from under the hood and starting to enter the cab on the right side. I shut the engine off and but on my emergency flashers. Traffic was very heavy. I exited the cab and looked under the hood. There was no fire, but I could smell diesel fuel. The truck has the 6.7 liter Ford diesel. I noticed fuel leaking onto the frame on the right side behind the front tire. I called Ford roadside assistance and was towed to the Ford dealer in portsmouth, nh where I bought the truck. When I got home I did some research online and found out the hold down clamp for the fuel injectors had been replaced by a new part number. These crack and can allow the injector to blow out of the cylinder head. They spray fuel in the engine compartment after exiting the head. Ford has issued a tsb 12-3-4 on the matter. Others have experienced this problem. Why has this not been recalled is beyond me.I was surprised I did not have a fire! Ford will only replace the affected part, not all 8. I have opened a case with Ford to have all 8 replaced. At this point in time the part is back ordered. The dealer did locate 1 and will be installing it tomorrow. I assume this is a redesigned part.

The engine light came on today in my 2011 F350 diesel. Dealer says def pump error code. Dealer says no pumps available until 03/15/2014. I think Ford should issue a service bulletin. Dealer says no warranty. Dealer states truck will shut down at any time. This should become a recall issue with the NHTSA. Owners of these trucks tow trailers frequently with lengths in excess of 36'. having a tow vehicle shut down in traffic at highway speeds is eminently dangerous and will cause fatalities refer to NHTSA campaign number: 13V535000 on similar vehicles.

According to Ford the truck's fuel pump went out. They said it was back ordered. 1100 trucks affected. I don't believe Ford is supplying the whole story on the issue and their is a lot more to it. Ford is hiding something and you should look into it. I fortunately was in a safe place when the pump went out but others may not be.
