Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Ford F-250 - part 2

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).

On Tuesday, [xxx], at approximately [xxx] pm, I was driving southbound on [xxx] near coalinga, CA, when my truck suddenly experienced a failure. I noticed smoke in the side mirror and asked my passenger to confirm. Moments later, a "low fuel pressure" message appeared on the dashboard, and smoke began coming from the hood. I immediately pulled over and attempted to pop the hood, at which point flames erupted from the engine bay. The fire quickly spread, fully engulfing the vehicle within minutes. Emergency responders, including cal-fire and chp, arrived on the scene. The truck was towed by cal-state towing service in huron, CA. The fire captain on site provided an incident card, but the full fire report is expected to take at least a week to obtain. There were no prior indications of mechanical issues before this incident, and no recent repairs or modifications to the fuel system or engine. However, I recently became aware of an ongoing NHTSA investigation into fuel leaks and fire risks in Ford super duty trucks equipped with the 6. 7l diesel engine (tfl truck report). The investigation highlights a potential issue with fractures in the secondary fuel filter housing, which could lead to fuel leaks and fire hazards. Given that my truck displayed a low fuel pressure warning immediately before catching fire, I strongly suspect this failure may be related to the issue under investigation. The truck is currently in tow yard storage and is available for inspection upon request. This incident posed a serious safety risk to myself, my father and others on the roadway, and I believe it warrants further examination by NHTSA.

The truck has developed a significant knock coming from the intake manifold. It is loud enough to hear with the hood closed. The problem exists warm and cold. The knock was verified by sunrise Ford in fontana, CA in December of 2024. The dealership had another f250 on the lot with the same 6. 2 engine and that it also has a knock coming from the intake manifold, so they considered the situation "normal". There is a significant amount of information available that the knock is related to an impending failure of the intake manifold runner control (imrc). If the irmc fails, the parts will go into the combustion area and could cause an immediate catastrophic failure of the engine. At best this problem creates a loss of power and a pulsing vibration at idle.

Engine started to tick and loss of power, had it hauled to Ford dealership in tulia TX to later find out that it had faulty rocker arms which is a known problem after calling around asking other dealerships if they have seen other pickups come in with the same issue! after digging further into the motor they found that the fuel system was going bad and also would have to be replaced which is also a well known issue after Ford recalled 300,000 of these pickups with the same issue.

Subject: urgent safety concern regarding rocker arm failure on my truck I am writing to formally express my concern regarding a critical issue with the rocker arms on my 2019 Ford f250 6. 7l diesel which has caused significant safety concerns. I believe that the failure of these parts poses a serious risk to both the driver and others on the road. Recently, I experienced a failure of the rocker arms while driving. This unexpected breakdown caused engine misfire, loss of power, and unusual noise and severely impacted the performance of the vehicle. It is concerning that such a vital component could fail under normal driving conditions, compromising the engine’s functionality and potentially causing complete engine failure. The failure of the rocker arms is not only costly in terms of repair but also represents a significant safety hazard. Should the issue worsen while driving, it could lead to sudden loss of power, stalling, or even damage to other critical engine components, putting the driver at risk of an accident. This danger is exacerbated if the failure occurs while driving at high speeds or in hazardous conditions. I strongly urge you to investigate the underlying cause of these failures and provide a resolution as soon as possible. Given the serious safety implications, I request a prompt response with information on how this issue will be addressed, whether through a recall, repair, or replacement of the defective parts, and a review of any related safety concerns.
