the diesel particulate filter is failing on a lot of 2011-2016 ford f-250 f-350, f-450, and f-550 Part 6D20000. Leaving vehicles stranded on the road while driving at 75 MPH. The safety was impacted by a sudden vehicle slowing down with no acceleration. It had also tried doing a lot of regins. This particular truck has not been inspected by a ford dealer nor insurance, but it has been inspected by me and a private mechanic. there weren't any prior problems with this truck. On top of this situation, diesel particulate filters are back ordered by about 3 months and cost about $4,700 for replacements. I do forget what the exact day was but it was somewhere in august of 2022

Okk Main issue is what everyone calls the -??Death Wobble-??. It has done it countless of times since I-??ve had the truck. Even after I bought a New Fox Single steering stabilizer. I have replaced quite a few things under the front end that I was told -??Could-?? be why it kept doing it. The most recent I-??ve bought for the front is brand new Fox Shocks just like the ones I have on the back and it still does it. I-??ve had the front end aligned a couple times since I-??ve had the truck and rotated my tires once too. And to this day it Still does that death wobble. It scares me every time too still. Im afraid ima end up in a wreck or cause a wreck bc of it. Another issue is I keep having this warning pop up saying -?? Engine Temp too high reduced engine power -?? bc it thinks the engine coolant is too low which it-??s Not. And when I scan the code through the OBD port it just says -??Engine oil temp sensor too low/too high-??. I had the Ford dealership in my town put a new Oil Temp sensor in it but it still throws a code just about everyday I drive it. Another issue I had was the High Pressure fuel pump on the front of the motor go out Literally while I was sittn in my driveway at night after just driving it not even 3 miles down the road to the store to grab a few things. And it ran fine like normal but soon as pulled in the driveway an was rolling my windows up about to go in it just died on me an had to get it towed to the Ford dealership in my town. They looked at my fuel an said my fuel was fine with No contaminants in it. I was just Unlucky they said so that was basically 10k out my pocket to pay for a Whole New fuel system. The Death Wobble is my most concerning issue but other than that the truck has been awesome.

The F250, 2012, 6.7L, diesel emissions system emits diesel particles into the cabin of the truck. The particles are fine and are a health risk. The particulate filter has been changed several times, but the particles can be seen on the door jams leading into the truck. These particles are fine mist and enter into the cab as well because the cab isn't air tight and the particles into the cab and when breathed in can cause not only lung damage, but cancer. The vehicle has been well maintained.

When attempting to accelerate for passing slower traffic, vehicle lost power and went into the limp mode. Problem seems most present at around 2000 RPM while attempting to increase speed. It appears that this problem is occurring when the turbo boost is increased. Research of this problem has shown that many owners are experiencing this same problem with the eco boost engine in this and other year models. The NHTSA began an investigation in 2012 but dropped the probe when Ford said they had resolved this issue. No recall has been issued for this problem but it is definitely a "safety issue" for drivers of this equipment. Headed for the Ford dealership tomorrow to see how this can be resolved.

Truck give me a stop safely now massage and shut down the motor in the middle of nowhere looked it up on the internet told me it was a bad egt censor had to have the truck towed would not restart

"takata recall" vehicle engine failure at speed, failed egt sensor caused the truck to shut-off in the middle of an interstate

- Boyce, VA, USA

I got on the highway and was doing a turnaround when I accelerated to enter the highway lanes a warning light that said reduced engine power appeared on my dash. Approximately 200' later my truck died on the highway. My high pressure fuel pump went out and apparently disintegrated sending aluminum shavings throughout my entire fuel system. The fix is to replace the entire fuel system at a cost of $11,200. The Ford company is claiming the fuel was contaminated and caused the pump to rust and go out. I have never got a water in fuel warning light on my truck and have had all the required maintenance done on the truck. The insurance company had a lab do a sample of the fuel in my truck and the fuel met all the astm requirements.

We were driving in the left lane of four lane highway (two lanes each way) when the sensor warning came on saying stop safely soon. My husband started to move to the right. The traffic was very light. Before we could get into the right lane the truck died. Had we been in heavy traffic we would have been stalled in the highway. I am reporting this out of concern for other diesel truck drivers. Ford dealer said cause was bad exhaust gas temperature egt sensor and we paid over $1000 to have all 4 sensors replaced. This has caused us to lose faith in our truck and we traded it in for a newer model.
