2 years ago both batteries needed replacement on my 2017 diesel f250. I noticed passenger positive battery cable at battery had a large amount of what I can only describe as large amount of gray cottage cheese on the passenger positive battery connector and cable. Dealer suggested a wire new battery cable which is actually a wiring harness ($2300) if they could not repair the issue. Luckily they were able to clean the cable connector and down the cable which was also affected. They also treated the cable and connector so it would not corrode further. Unfortunately the design of the cable is flawed as approximately 1 to 2 inches of bare cable before the connector is exposed without the red rubber coating to the battery gasses which causes the corrosion to travel down the cable/harness. During the last 2 years I monitored the cables for corrosion and they have held up well with no corrosion. Recently I noticed starting becoming a little sluggish plus I got an alert that said adaptive steering fault service required. This also caused the steering wheel to turn to the left to the 10 o’clock position when going straight. Noticed on google that voltage could affect the adaptive steering component. Assuming my batteries need replaced luckily under warranty the dealer inspected the truck. Their verdict so far is that I need a new positive battery cable wire harness at an outrageous cost of $4596. 59! a price increase of $2296 in 2 years. They also want to charge $465. 88 to diagnose the adaptive steering fault alert. I contacted Ford consumer on the issue because this is a known issue on other models and years but not mine. I’ve actually known others with same battery harness issues going back years. Unacceptable! the truck has approximately 75k miles.

Automatic emergency braking engaged while the vehicle was in neutral tow. Resulted in 2 rear blown tires and damaged rims on vehicle. Attached the f250 correctly to the motorhome and confirmed truck was in neutral tow. Starting pulling the f250 and confirmed by looking at mirrors on the motorhome and rear camera that the wheels on the f250 were rolling both front axel and rear axel. After several blocks felt a hard tug while driving the motorhome, looked in the side mirror and rear camera and noticed smoke coming from rear tires. We pulled over on highway and stopped towing the vehicle. Went back to truck open the driver door and the dash was reading vehicle was still in neutral tow. Called a tow truck. The f250 truck was towed to the moss Ford dealership. Ford dealership never neutral towed the f250 so they were unable to recreate the situation. However we had computer data on the f250 dating back to before the truck was delivered after manufacturing relating to brake issues. The emergency brakes engages when we are driving it and comes on after stopping on a hill or after we tow a trailer. We have had this f250 into the dealership for brake warranty issues before we started to neutral tow the f250. We had neutral tow this truck over 1500 miles before this incident. We continued on our trip and currently in chula vista CA. Neutral tow the f250 all the way. However the Ford instructions on how to set up neutral tow does not tell you disable automated emergency braking system or disable the front collision warning system.

The electrical system/dash of the 2024 Ford-f250 is not working properly. When in drive mode the dash will state that vehicle will be shutting off and will shut off. When attempting to power up or down the windows, window may stop half way down or up or will not go up or down. Stereo will shut off or turn on and at times sound will shift to one speaker, truck has to be turned off and turned back on for all speakers to work or for stereo to go to it's normal functuality. This was brought to the attention of one of the manager's Ford dealership repair center and he said that he has been seeing many issues with the electrical components of all Ford trucks. Most of the trucks have to have the whole cab removed/lifted to be able to get to the electrical component that is causing the issue on the vehicle. This a new truck and it's ridiculous that we are having to go through this, the dealership wants to charge hundreds to check the truck and there should be no charge when this is a known issue.

The bjb fuse panel gets water in it . The vehicle produces multiple alarms and the throttle stops working . So when going down the road it goes to a idle and you can't get out of the way of other vehicle's . The Ford dealership said the bjb panels do get water in them but have not heard of them causing this problem. There was a list of alarm's from the fuse panel failure it all happened about the same time .

Trailer brake lights malfunction.

Vehicle’s apim malfunctioned and caused the rear-traffic alert to malfunction as well as a number of the vehicle’s other features such as its navigation, radio, hvac, cruise control etc. Took it to the dealership and they tried to robot system, dealership stated reboot failed and the would load it on a thumb drive and I can try to upload it from there. I stated I wanted the apim replaced, and they said let's try thi route first.

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.

Doors will not lock or unlock from remote or inside switch. If an accident was to occure a person's can not get out of the vehicle.

Drivers door will not unlock at times, the others do. The door also will not latch at times making it unsafe to drive, have to lock and unlock with remote and keys until it resets. Only 46,000 miles. Started doing it a year ago but has gotten worse. I know forfd has had a history of problems and extended warranty on 2017 super duty for this problem.

A/c blower fan blowing irregular cutting out and returning to blow. Eventually stopped and replaced the blower, still not working. Took to local mechanic pressed on fuses and relays and blower worked for a day. Took to another shop to get second opinion and to repair issue. Same thing checked fuses and said vehicle was working as planed. 1 day later same issue no air. Returned to same shop to re investigate issue, claimed wiring harness and fuse box under hood to be replaced. (remove dash, remove freon, flush system, refill with freon, run wiring around front of engine compartment, reinstall all the above for 6k) all of this for a melted fuse (#43) and a possible burnt wire. If new harness is same gauged wiring, then what is stop from another burning issue? picked up truck for another opinion to repairing or replacing harness. At this time still no air and worried it may start a fire from burning again.

Loss of power windows,loss of a/c and heat,loss of turn signals,loss of radio,and loss of head lights. As well as engine not shutting off after key is pulled out. The first initial problems arose a year ago, not long after purchasing a 2022 Ford f250 superduty. Only when it rained or during very cold days the power to the front dash would be out including power windows and locks,radio, and a/c and heat. Ford dealership was unable to diagnose the problem. A year down the road,directly following a hard rain, the engine would not shut off when turning the key and removing it. I had to pull the fuel pump relay fuse from under hood to get the truck to shut off. After removing the lid, which was way too easy to take off, I noticed that all th box fuses were submerged in water. Yes there are safety concerns,what if my child ir myself was to get trapped inside the truck if the power windows and locks are malfunctioning? and on a hot day when the heat and air conditioning are also not working? how long would the truck have to continue to run before it shut off? there are electrical fire risks directly correlated with water in the fuse box. There were no warning lamps. Ford posted a service bulletin on regards to this matter. The power distribution module and the fuse box lid are at fault. The truck has since been repaired and are making us pay for it because it is 5,000 miles out of warranty. We are extremely dissatisfied Ford customers!.

The back bed rails rot/rust very quickly and trying to buy new beds run 4500$ along with O2 sensors ir intake sensors go out of blue no reasoning let alone the power steering lines rusting very very quickly.

My reverse camera (the bed camera) quits working at random times. Sometimes it works fine. Other times it shows nothing but a white static looking screen and sometimes the button just doesn’t respond at all when I try to select the bed camera option.

Regarding customer satisfaction program 21m05. My tailgate has had numerous recalls for the electrical tailgate. I have been to two different dealerships and they have not fixed the recall now my truck has major electrical issues. The tailgate opens up all the time on its own. Something to do with the wiring system that's connected to that is making all my exterior lights and horn go off constantly. The truck is at the dealership down. They're trying to diagnose the electrical issues. They now want me to be responsible for a diagnosis if Ford will not cover it.

I took my truck into the dealership Ford of upland for recalls on 06/06/2023 (136923 miles) outstanding field service actions 18l02, 18n03, 20n04, 20m04 ,20e07, 21m05, 22s51. I called to make an appointment and confirm if parts are needed for theses recalls that they had them and nothing was on backorder. Cabral lillian let me know they had everything the truck would be done in 1. 5 days at most. About 2hours before they closed on day 2 I called to see when I could pickup. She told me they just started the 20e07 and it would be ready in one hour. When I went to pick up I was informed that was the only recall that they did. I asked why she said they did not have the other parts, I explained to her when I made the appointment she she they had everything. She just said they would call me when they have the parts. I called a handfull of times too check status of the parts , kept saying they dont have them. Finally I emailed lillian 7/24/23 and 7/25/23 no reply. I went ahead and emailed all the main people in the service department 7/27/23 steven isip service director said he would look into this. All that happend was he had lillian call me and said they had the camera (22s51) and I could make an appointment it would take 2 day to complete. My husband called citrus Ford to see if they could do the recalls. They set the appointment 11/29/23 ( 147665 miles) had it done same day. I didn't look over all the paperwork and didn't see that the other recalls were not addressed. Until 3/11/23 the tailgate opened on its own . Thats when I looked at the paperwork from citrus Ford, saw that the only recall was done camera. I did, and call Ford customer service and explained what happened, they saw my truck service records gave in a case#. 3/18/23 all the exterior started flashing, horn, tailgate started going crazy. Dropped the truck off 3/19/23 6:30am 154,000 miles. Ford is now saying diagnostics needs to be done, due to the recall was only good up 150000 mi.

Eng light is on and losing throttle. When it loses throttle wrench light comes on. While driving on the interstate, the truck loses power and reduces speed on its own. It is difficult to maneuver to the side of road. It has been towed several times and repaired by more than one Ford dealership. We requested a buy back when the truck was under a year old and akins Ford winder GA. Refused to buy it back. It currently has 37,000 miles and has been sitting at the akins dealership for two weeks. This truck could potentially cause an accident because it decelerates quickly and because of its size it is difficult to steer out of atlanta, GA traffic. I have warned Ford relationship director that someone will be injured in this vehicle. I was informed that I should contact ntsb and the attorney general state of georgia.

We are experiencing issues with the ac / radio control head in our 2019 Ford f250 super duty, crew-cab truck. Some of the controls for the ac unit are inoperable specifically the re-circulation control. As a result, the ac system is delivering humid air, and the system is also delivering extremely unpleasant odors into the cab of the vehicle. Some more serious than others including, exhaust fumes, engine compartment oil and gas odors, and sewage odors when stopped at an intersection. This has been going on for over 6 months now and the local dealership including Ford customer service continue to inform me the part is on back order. After researching this further, it appears Ford is experiencing this problem with their explorers, and it has become a recall for this model. This has become a serious issue for us as we experience nausea, headaches and our clothing absorbs these odors causing ongoing discomfort. This is my work truck, and I have associates and customers in my vehicle. It has caused me unwanted stress and tension as a result of these issues. I believe this is occurring with other f-series trucks as it is noticeably clear there are no parts available. I have called several dealerships throughout arizona and across the country, no one has them available. One dealership had a part in michigan however, they were holding it for a customer. They advised me their customer is experiencing the same thing we are with our truck. I believe this should be registered as a recall for this problem considering what I have uncovered during my research. This is a serious problem that will only get worse if not resolved soon.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated without warning. The contact turned off the vehicle. The contact stated the vehicle operated normally once restarted. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure recurred on several occasions. The contact stated that the failure occurred while the vehicle was in low gear and in colder temperatures. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

The engine light activated on the dash randomly while driving. My truck was experiencing loss of power and for the next few days and reduced fuel mileage. I checked the engine code and learned it is a common error with 2017 Ford super dutys with the 6. 7l diesel engine. The code is “dtc p203b”, sometimes indicated as p203b00 is an obd diagnostic trouble code indicating a manufacturer-specific fault with the vehicle powertrain (I. E. Engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the air/fuel mixture causing reductant level sensor circuit range/performance. I believe this error in manufacturing is a safety risk because it is common within these trucks and can leave motorists stranded or potentially disable the vehicle in the roadway causing a traffic hazard.

Component: battery junction box then affecting other parts. Water intrusion into battery junction box affecting and shorting out other components. Items shorted out due to water in battery junction box include: battery junction box itself, left rear blind spot monitor, left rear brake light, drivers seat control (shorted all seat heated components, all lumbar and massaging components fully inflated and would not deflate) , windshield wiper motor shorted and stopped working, rain sensor stopped working. Both tow mirrors would randomly deploy to the furthest out position. Main safety concerns were windshield wiper motor stopped working and seat randomly adjusting, inflating, deflating. Vehicle is currently at for dealership ( sam packs 5 star Ford lewisville TX) who has diagnosed the issues. The only warning lamp was for the driver side blis when the incident would occur.

Good afternoon, 1. 5 weeks ago, we had 4 serious issues that our Ford f250 truck from 2017 with 55. 000 miles on stalled during driving almost causing an accident because the steering system was not supporting anymore. We stopped the vehicle on the side of the road, yellow engine light came on with the fault message “all sensor” (attached). After several times cycling the ignition the diesel engine started up with the yellow engine light on. This happened 4x. Luckily, we made it home. The next day the truck did not show any ignition neither did the engine start. I checked the battery power which was 12. 8v and found a loose minus bar connection beside the positive bar beside the battery junction box. I thought I found the root cause, installed the missing nut but nothing changed. We had to organize a tow truck for 160us$ transferring the vehicle to the Ford dealer mall of georgia in buford after confirming an appointment for Monday January 15th, 2024, 2pm. We confirmed the complaint with a Ford service technician name scott tackabury, left the keys under the assumption that Ford will investigate the root cause. Since this is our only vehicle, we had to take a rental car due to business obligations. Unfortunately, the truck got not inspected until Monday January 22nd, 2024. We had to call several times to get an update and were told that “… it is like a doctor appointment… ur in line”!!?? again Monday 22nd 2024, we did not receive a call, we had to call to see what’s going on. Investigation result: -ids test found the following dtc’s: op064a, p027a, p0087, p008a -diag. Dtc: p027a found pin 25 in connector c1035a melted causing poor connection for the fuel pump control module circuit (see attachments) -dtc p064a fuel pump control module internal fault remedy: -replace the battery junction box -repair the wiring -replace the fuel pump control module.

Brought truck into hansel Ford dealership in santa rosa CA for recall issues, oil change and then an issue with horn. Horn would not turn off, even with truck off. Had to disconnect battery and take fuse out for horn. Was told by hansel that there is an issue with this but its not a recall issue. The bjb box had moisture inside and needed replacing. Our mileage was just outside original manufacturer warranty by I believe 900 miles. We had also purchased an extended warranty. Extended warranty will not cover. I would like Ford to pay for this issue as we arent the only ones. 2022 Ford f250 . Truck is still at the dealership.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-250. The contact stated that after turning the ignition switch to the off position and removing the ignition key, the engine remained running. Additionally, the maintenance wrench icon illuminated, and the warning message "reduced power mode" was displayed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Went to start truck and had a loud pop like a shotgun went off in the cab when the push to start was turned on. After that I had no sound from the stereo. First thing I noticed was no rear park aid beep when backing up and then noticed all sound was gone. Parked truck not knowing what was wrong and grabbed other truck as I was pulling away the alarm started going off and stereo was blasting static noise on full. Had to disconnect batteries to stop alarm and to get radio to turn off. So to clarify all was shut off and truck was locked and about 1 minute later alarm went off with sound blasting could not turn truck on or off nothing worked. Thank god I didn’t drive it to work would have caused a wreck.
