general problems of the 2024 Ford F-250

Slight vibration at highway speed accompanied by faint grinding noise. Ford installed front auto locker to only one front wheel and a dummy full time locker to right front wheel in non trimmer 2024 f250 and f350s. They know the problem because they issued a TSB 52423 but do not contact truck owners of issue. Having only one locker makes the right side front axel spin at highway speeds and cause noise, vibration and unequal drag on the two front wheels causing the vehicle to drift to the right. Ford knows this, as evident by them going back to two locking auto hubs on 2025 models. My bigger concern is what happens in 100k k miles when the front differential being warn out by the highway speeds fails and locks up the front differential and suddenly locks the front right wheel and potentially sends the 7000 lb vehicle in an uncontrollable right turn. I am currently working with walker Ford to correct this issue with my truck. In my opion, this is a huge safety issue because Ford is aware of this problem but is not notifying owners of the issue with an official recall. Needed fix, replace right dummy locker hub with functional hub like the left side ( part number hc3z3b396a $260), instal replacement volume line (part number hc3z3c124b $51) if said truck does not already have one, and finally install 6 in vacume line (part number hc323c125c $6) to the front right hub. In my opion, Ford should be held fully liable for the human safety implications down the road if they continue to ignore this proplem.

I purchased my new 2024 Ford f250 on [xxx] with less than 30 miles on the odometer. It includes a 10-speed automatic transmission. I have noticed erratic up shifting and down shifting of the transmission. The problem started at approximately 700 miles on the vehicle. Additionally I have noticed that after initial starting the vehicle, when placed into drive or reverse, the transmission appears to slam into gear as noticed by a large jerk and loud sound. The vehicle continues to sound like there is a mismatch between the engine revving up and transmission lagging behind for some time, or as if the transmission is slipping gears. The new vehicle was taken into the dealership on 6/9/2025 at 7:00am and work was reportedly completed and vehicle ready for pickup on [xxx]. I was informed that the service technician performed a break-in procedure and that everything was okay. Within 30 minutes of picking up the vehicle the same problem started reoccurring. I called my service advisor (michael garcia) the follow day, [xxx] to report the same issue. I spoke with the service agent and was not able to get a loaner vehicle until 6/28/2025. At this point the vehicle has less that 3,000 miles on it. I dropped off the vehicle at 7:00 am on the 24th for repair. Today is the 7th of July, 2025, and I am still waiting for the dealership to give me the status. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Transmission switching gears while driving. From 3 down to 1 or 6 down to 1. And not engaging gears. Sudden strong jerks, as if something fell off from under the hood.

While on an incline with the front-end facing up-hill, in 2wd mode, the truck rolls backward after placed in "park. " the truck will continue rolling until application of the brakes. This happens every time. When in 4wd (h) mode, the truck does not roll when in "park. " this has occurred since we purchased the truck on 23 December 2024; however, until yesterday, we thought the truck was only sliding on our icy driveway. On 20 February 2025, we confirmed without a doubt that the truck is actually rolling while in "park. " to ensure the truck does not roll, after placing in "park," we also apply the parking/emergency brake. This was reported to our local Ford dealer on 21 February 2025. A service appointment has been made.

On numerous times when you start the truck there is a delay from when you engage drive and the drivetrain gets power. To the point that 1 time the truck rolled back into another destroying their bumper.
