Motor has a nkocking tapping sound like and old school type writer and gets loud at times when ideling and some time really loud anfter driving it fo rw whlle, (diesel engine doesn't sound like that),Ford engineering at factory knows what the problem is but refuses to allow dealership to repair it and replace the parts. Transmission had snecor and valve body go out caused transmission to lock up in 10th gear and stalling out. Dealership replaced the parts with new ones, bu tdid not correct the problem and now stalles and slippes when shifting gears, or sometimes shifts so hard it shakes the truck (F250 diesel). Has a grinding noise when down shifting from 5,4,3 gears. When drivining the truck and go to pass around another vehicle is slips gears are stalles down until it can catch its gear to go happened several times. Vehicle only has 6,500 miles on it and was purchased August 26, 2020 and should not have these issues and problems. Most of all the factory engineers should not deny the dealership to fix and replace what is wrong and cauusing the lound and upnogchis knocking ticking sound even after doing a black box flight recorder to determine where the problem is coming from. They said to keep driving until enough complaints com in to have a recall sent our are until it brakes and goes out. This is a safety hazard to everyone on the road and could possibly cause harm to inisant people, such as myself, my family, and others out on the road. Please have this looked into and help get it taken care of.
Check engine light came on while driving at highway speeds on the freeway. Truck began to sputter slightly when coming to a stop. Vehicle was still drivable and I was able to make it home. Later diagnosis at dealership showed the problem to be a defective spark plug wire. I have since read that this is a common problem with the new 7.3 gas engine by Ford.
Vehicle demonstrates repeatable uncommanded acceleration when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. Also demonstrates uncommanded acceleration when engine braking engages. Occasionally vehicle operates at a uncommanded high idle of 1200-1500 RPM vs the normal 600. Mostly happens when slow maneuvering such as in a parking lot or other tight space. It has happened ever since new and it has 5100 miles on it now. Purchasing dealer said it was normal. Others are reporting the same issue in forums online.
While traveling on an interstate, I notice my vehicle was smoking. Soon my engine high temperature light came on and my speed dropped from 65 mph to 20 mph. I was in the center lane when this happened. I scrambled to get the truck and the travel trailer I was pulling over into the right lane and median, doing all I could to prevent an accident. Once I reached the median I was approx. 1/4 miles from an exit. I drove to the exit at my vehicles max speed of 20 mph. Once stopped I reviewed my truck and noticed engine coolant pouring from a line that had disconnected. Upon review the line did not have a clamp present and there were no witness or compression marks on the hose. The vehicle was towed to a dealership for diagnosis and the dealer confirmed the defect of no hose clamp or the hose was installed improperly at the factory.
The lower cooling hose came loose on my Ford 2020 F250 with1650 miles on the vehicle, while traveling on a interstate towing a load of approximately 7000lbs. The engine lost power and we managed to safely exit of the interstate. The max. Speed of the vehicle was 20 mph while trying to exit the interstate safely, it was an intense moment to get off the busy interstate safely. The vehicle was towed to a Ford dealership, and we are awaiting a diagnosis.
