general problems of the 2012 Ford F-250

It keeps throwing a check engine light for miss fire but ive replaced all of the ignition and fuel parts and it keeps happening now its loosing power and getting hot for no reason.

I just had to replace the ecm because it fired. After replacing that it still won't start. I've talked to multiple people who have had the same problem.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-250. The contact stated while he was stopped at a traffic signal, he smelled a burning plastic smell. The contact observed that smoke was being emitted from under the vehicle's front end. The contact pulled off the road and parked. As he exited the vehicle, he observed that flames were shooting from under the vehicle. The contact stated that in a few minutes, the flames had engulfed the engine compartment. The fire department was called, and the police had also arrived. The fire was extinguished using water. The police did not filed a report. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 161,000.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-250. The contact stated that the engine power was significantly reduced and there was a whining sound coming from the engine compartment. While starting the vehicle, there was a high-pitched whining sound heard. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact inspected the vehicle and determined there was a failure with the fuel pump. The fuel pumps were replaced 4 times, and the front and rear fuel pressure regulators were replaced several times since 2012. The contact was adding coolant to the vehicle every 2 months. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The dealer was contacted and informed of the failure. The dealer confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

Leaving oil spots on ground. Inside cab smelling very strongly like burnt oil.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, the vehicle began to make an abnormal cranking sound with several unknown warning lights flashing on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was discovered that piston rod #3 had snapped inside the engine and that the engine needed to be replaced. After a year, the engine was replaced; however, three weeks later, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the contact was informed that the exhaust gas cooling system had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 42,500.

Ford previously issued warranty extension for this vehicle 18-m-01 related to the replacement of the reductant heater unit. I acquired the subject vehicle above and had the repair done at my expense on September 9, 2015 with 115,710 miles on the vehicle using an oem part. Eventually, Ford would reimburse me for this expense. The truck currently has 150,000 miles and once again the def heater failed . So, roughly 35,000 miles on a single unit. That seems ridiculous to me that an emissions part would fail after a mere 35,000 miles. My experience is far from being alone and others have reported similar experiences on internet forums. I will preserve this unit that failed for 60 days after the submission of this claim in case Ford or you would like to inspect it. Unfortunately, the result of having to perform repeated repairs is that people decide to remove and bypass the def system completely. That seems to be a terrible outcome for the environment. However, in communities where there is no emissions testing, no one will find out. Please require Ford to extend the warranty on this part again.

Many early model vehicles with the 6. 7 powerstroke experience broken exhaust manifold bolts. Ford corrected this problem after the first few years of known defects but never issued a recall for the faulty design on 2011-2012 models. The exhaust leak can lead to a lack of power, “limp mode”, and/or a fire as the exhaust is located on top of the engine (not a common design). While Ford is aware of the problem, they’ve done nothing to rectify the situation.

Very intermittently, when I brake this vehicle to bring it to a stop, the engine will start to rev uncontrollably. I have to practically "stand" on the brake to keep it from charging forward. I have to turn off the truck to stop this high speed revving. After this happened 3 times in 2 months we took it to the dealer to check. There was nothing on the floor that could cause the gas pedal to accelerate. The dealer in kingwood, wv could not duplicate, and found nothing wrong when inspected. We only use the truck once or twice a month so it is a low use vehicle. For this reason the problem does not occur frequently enough to replicate "on demand". While there was not a crash, it almost revved through an intersection and almost ran into another vehicle. Fortunately I was able to throw it into park (not good for the vehicle) and then turn it off.

The 6. 2 engine has broken valve springs 3 times now. First two times was able to just replace the broken valve spring. The 3rd time it broke a valve spring it dropped the valve in the motor and put hole right through the block and seized the motor almost causing me to wreck.

Started my truck to let it warm up before I took it in to town. Went inside for around 150 min, come outside and I seen smoke coming from my doors and as soon as I opened it feom the passenger door it was full of smoke and I seen a fire on my driver side feint seat. It completely burnt my truck and another f250 the was parked next to it.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Ford F-250. The contact found metal shrapnel in the fuel system, which traveled to the engine. Multiple unknown warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the battery was changed. The mechanic diagnosed that the fuel injectors and fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 188,180.

I have a 2012 Ford F-250 6. 7 liter diesel, the truck has 63,000 miles on it and is under extended warranty through Ford, about 2 weeks ago truck engine suddenly died, luckily we were not traveling at a high rate of speed. I had truck towed to Ford dealership and they diagnosed it as contaminated fuel, which resulted in complete failure of fuel system. Cost for this repair is $10,500 and Ford extended warranty doesn't cover bad fuel. Problem is I only get my fuel from one station and they tested negative for contamination. My feelings about this is there was no contaminated fuel, but instead a faulty component in my fuel system. Meaning Ford should back up there product. At this time the problem is being investigated but Ford is already saying I need to go through my insurance.

The diesel def safety swirches go out turning off the engine if truck going less than 10 mph. A very bad safety issue if pulling into traffic.

I was driving my vehicle east on the highway in miami (sr-836 just before NW 107th avenue) and it gave me a message to "stop safely now". I pulled over immediately and had the truck towed to gus machado Ford of kendall. The repair ended up costing me over $700. My son did some research and found out there was a recall query (rq-14-005) sent to Ford on February 5, 2015. I just wanted to be added to the list of affected owners and would like to be added to any e-mail or mail distribution lists.

While backing out a parking space, the engine died and a red warning was displayed "pull over safely". The engine would not restart. The engine is a 6. 7 liter powerstroke diesel the vehicle was towed to the dealer by a Ford contract towing agency and tested. The problem was a faulty egt 12 sensor. When this failure occurs, it immediately shuts down the engine, which "kills" the power steering and power brakes. The dealer told me that the failure is a known problem and can occur at any time without warning, although unlikely. They have had several occurrences of the problem at this dealer alone. As this can occur at anytime and situation, I believe that a recall should be issued.

Stop safely now: when this happens the engine will shut off and you have to roll as far as you can to hopefully get off the highway. I am an experienced mechanic and driver of "not so great running vehicles" as I have test and tune them to see what the issue is to repair them. E. G. No brakes, no power steering, non working fuel pumps. . . Etc. With that said, I do not think an inexperienced driver of a non working vehicle would do so well in this situation and could end up possibly harming others as a result. I just knew for sure this would be on the recall list for safety issues and to find out Ford has issued a recall for "emergency vehicles only". My question is. . . Who says a personal vehicle is not ever going to be an emergency vehicle for your family, friend or a coworker. Come on Ford, if your customers buy a 65,000 truck shouldn't they have the comfort of trusting the vehicle will not strand them dead in the middle of a highway or stop running if they are taking someone to the er. . . Ford did repair my truck under warranty, but, I think this could have all been avoided if the recall was out for all vehicles with this issue.
