1 Brake Sensor problem of the 2015 Ford F-250

Failure Date: 05/06/2018

Purchased car with 8 miles on it in 2015. Both batteries were defective and had to be replaced . One battery blew up, and the other caught on fire. Not sure if that caused anymore extensive damage. The car is dragging when I start it now. Dealer at koons Ford in MD. Says he cant find anything wrong. Took the car to liberty Ford and they replaced batteries and suggested I go back to koons Ford because the car is under warranty. I believe something is wrong the starter or ignition. Default tire pressure sensor will not go off. Even after maintenance. Some severe electrical issues are happening. Having suspension issues as well truck shakes real bad if I hit a bump. Very poor gas mileage. Bumpers are of poor quality. These issues have been ongoing since the purchase of the car. The truck only has 47,000 miles with no missed maintenance dates. Problems occurring both on the highway and on city street while in motion.

2 Brake Sensor problem of the 2015 Ford F-250

Failure Date: 03/24/2018

We had our truck checked for recalls and service issues because of a check engine light prior to leaving on a long trip. We specifically asked if the truck was one of the brake recalls. We also have a non functioning touch screen. When the truck was examined and a oil crankcase separator trouble showed up as an extended warranty. The oil separator was replaced and no other recommendations were made. We were told to bring the truck back if the check engine light came on again as there also a fuel temperature sensor alert that might be the issue. Extended warranty alert that might need to be fixed. We left the following day for our trip and three days later our left front end developed a noise, was very hot and then it felt as though the brake was stuck. We found a national chain auto repair that would be open on the next day to examine the truck. Thankfully we were not pulling our travel trailer. The repair shop found that the left front caliper failed and the brake pads and the rotors needed repair/replacement. They examined the right front and round the caliper had started leaking there and the same repair was required. Again, no recommendations had been made to fix or replace brakes had been made before the trip. Before leaving for our trip the truck had 48,188 miles and we bought it used in 2016. We have only pulled our travel trailer three times since we bought it for a total of 180 towing miles. I have researched and find other owners of these models that also have the same brake issues but like ours their VIN # also are not included in the brake recall. We retained the replaced brake parts. I also have the inspection sheet from the service before our travel. The service light came back on our return and we have to return to the dealer yet again for that to be diagnosed. ## VIN passed ## Ford f250 platinum diesel 4x4 2015 ##.

3 Brake Sensor problem of the 2011 Ford F-250

Failure Date: 04/12/2015

While driving at around 60 mph the dash starting chiming and gave me a stop safely now message. I slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road. At about 5 mph the truck shut off, power steering and brakes faded. I was barely out of the lane of traffic and my attempts to restart the truck and get it further off the road to a safer spot were not allowed by the computer system. I had the truck hauled to a nearby Ford dealer and after cooling off all night the truck would restart. The local dealer could not fix the problem due to trouble with his diagnostic computer so he suggested I travel to another dealer. He felt I could make it there with the truck. I went to the motel where my wife and I had to spend the night to pick her up, a distance of about 1-2 miles. We loaded our belongs up into the truck, I restarted it and started to back out of the parking space and it repeated the stop safely now warning and shut the truck off immediately seeing my speed was under 5 mph. I was halfway out of the space and was stuck there. I was very fortunate it helped in the motel parking lot as opposed to just as I pulled out into traffic. . At the next dealership the problem was diagnosed as a bad sensor in the exhaust system.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford f250. While driving at any speed, the vehicle lost power and the engine completely shut off in the middle of the road. The road conditions and weather were not a factor.
