We have a 2001 Ford f250 sd, 5. 4 liter triton v8. There was an awful ticking noise for a few weeks and on Monday, July 4th, while restarting the truck it made a huge pop noise followed by a very loud tick that sounded like an exhaust leak. It was so loud that my 2 year old son was scared. After looking under the hood, I saw the spark plug had been dislodged from the head, the threads were stripped and I cannot repair it myself!! then after contacting Ford and many auto shops we learned this will cost us over 500 dollars and that they have serviced over 10 vehicles in the last month with the same problem!! what? and after research have noticed that there have been complaints dating back to 2006 and no recourse by owners! what? this safety issue needs to be fixed! it is so dangerous. We are repairing our vehicle using the mechanic that Ford recommended, he will be changing the coil and adding pins to it to ensure that it won't happen again for that plug, but the others. . . Keeping our fingers crossed that nothing else happens before Ford gets their stuff together and fixes this!!.

I came home from work, shut my vehicle off, climbed out and noticed that something was dripping from the front end. Got under and found that the radiator was leaking and at a pretty good rate. I called the dealership to ask details about it and agreed to drop it off the next day. I had to reference them to a TSB 09-23-1 concerning the radiator leak due to a hyper extended thermostat. A couple of days later I get a call and was told that the thermostat "seems" to be fine and that I would have to bear the cost of the radiator replacement at $1400. Ford replaced these radiators in job 1 trucks if they were leaking at the time the venturi tee was being installed in the cooling system. I had the recall done but it wasn't leaking at the time. I have 37k miles on it. I've never over heated it, over sped it and I take care of my vehicle. The Ford dealership is telling me that if they replaced the parts, sent them to Ford and Ford found they were still good, I would then get billed back later. As of right now, I have not had them continue with the work on the truck. The main reason is because that is a costly repair and I feel that Ford should cover this knowing it's a problem. There was a recall as I stated earlier, and at least 2 TSB's stating that they know it's a problem. It's disappointing that Ford is sticking it to people like me for a defective part. It's cracked and no one can tell me how it cracked. When asked, the service manager stated, "that's the million dollar question. " what makes this even worse, I'm active duty military and am preparing for a duty station move in August. I bought the vehicle to tow my RV and family of 5, not for it to break and no apparent reason for it besides the defective part that Ford knows about.

2008 Ford F-250. Radiator leaking. Dealer states to Ford customer service that they found a leak in April of 2010. They never informed me of it however. In April the vehicle was still under the 36,000 mi. Warranty. I first noticed the leak around the last of November 2010 and by then the vehicle was at 46,000 mi. And out of warranty. My dealer tells me they and Ford are aware that there is a problem with these radiators but Ford has yet to issue a recall. Dealer wont incur any of the cost for repairs and Ford wont offer any assistance either.

2008 Ford f250 diesel 6. 4l radiator leaks. Ford blames this on t-stats and venturi tee's but it is clearly a manufacturing defect. There are so many people that have had this problem. Ford continues to bury their head in the sand. Either NHTSA needs to get involved or a class action lawsuit should bring this to the forefront.

We own a Ford 2008 f250 super duty crewcab srw. Took it in for a oil leak and dealer found the radiator had ' c/s vehicle has coolant leaks. Radiator & top & left lower radiator hose faulty leaking coolant' the radiator from the manufacture was replaced in April 2009. This will be the 3rd radiator replaced. Dealer is now charging us $1,233. 31 for the replacement of the 3rd one. Our son who has a f350 has had 3 radiators replaced. Is this something the consumer needs to be paying for the length of the owning a Ford truck and is it common to have a radiator replaced every year.

The egr valve is a defective part on my 06 super-duty it has over heated on me the last two times I took my RV out ,after checking out after market parts stores I see they have one available that keeps it running cool. After doing more research its a well known fact that its a defective part along with the weak head bolts. I also heard that last year in 2009 that Ford started repairing the egr on vehicles that were brought in that have factory warranty on them. My question is why no recalls have been issued ! ! ! !.

2006 Ford f250 super duty, diesel, 6. 0 l, 4x4, crew cab, short bed: total loss of throttle response while driving. The engine runs, but the truck completely stops and will not move when the accelerator is pressed. There is no advance warning. It just stops moving right where it is. This has happened on several occassions over the last few months. The egr valve has been replaced several times or cleaned the other times, but the vehicle is unsafe on the road because it stops suddenly right in the middle of the traffic lane. Why hasn't a recall been made on the egr and related parts. . . . Everytime we take it to the shop that's all that's in there for the same reasons!!.

My husband and I were pulling our camper to virginia for vacation and half way there we could smell antifreeze. By the time we got to martinsville and got our camper backed up at the campground white smoke was coming out of our tailpipe and later overheated. We called aaa the next morning and had it towed to a local dealer where they had informed us that it was the egr cooler. They put the new egr cooler on and we got our truck back 2 days later. We did not drive the truck anymore until we were pulling our camper home to ohio and noticed the same things were happening. The white smoke and antifreeze smell we also had loss of power. I made my husband pull over and low and behold we had no antifreeze in the truck. The dealership had put 2 bottles of antifreeze and changed our oil because of antifreeze in the oil. We called the dealership and they told us to try and limp it home. We were not going to be any part of that and asked the gas station attendant where the closest Ford dealership was located. They told us the get off the next exit and go 1/2 mile up the road. We made it a 1/4 mile from the dealership and had to pull over because truck was overheating. Tried to start truck back up and nothing. Got a tow truck to tow us to this dealership where they told us our engine was vapor locked. We only had gone 130 miles from the other dealership before this happened. Dealership is telling us that Ford has been having issues with the 6. 0 liter v6 F-250 super duty diesel engines. Have an ongoing lawsuit with dealership and Ford. Would like to know of other issues with these trucks because we are over warrant by 2,000 miles.

Vehicle has a oil cooler and egr cooler defect. Common problem by many f250 owners. Ford is aware of the problem and has issued a superseded part number for the oil cooler, egr cooler is unchanged. When these components fail it causes the vehicle to overheats when towing a load and can consume several gallons of coolant. It's a safety concern due in part that if a vehicle overheats and shuts off while towing a heavy load the vehicle will lose braking power.
