general problems of the 2011 Ford F-350

Paeking brake backing plates completely rusted through when replacong brake rotors. Forums say this is a common problem. Ford should powder coat the parts. If this prone to rust. May cause wheel. Lock at high speed.

The engine in my 2011 Ford f350 super duty diesel shut down with no advance warning in freeway rush hour traffic due to a egt sensor. This has been a problem with the 6. 7 engine for some time according to several different diesel forum sites. The only recall to date from Ford has been on those vehicles equipped with an ambulance package, although this affects all vehicles with the 6. 7 motor.

My wife and I went to pick up the 5th wheel camper from the storage area. I backed up to the camper, put the truck in park and did a few things before my wife got out. As she was getting out I mashed the brake pedal fairly hard and placed the transmission in reverse. I didn't want the truck moving with the passenger front door open and whacking my woman. As the wife was getting ready to shut the door the engine rpm went sky high on its own. My wife looked at me as if to say what the heck are you doing! I gave her a blank/scared look as it was nothing I did to make this happen. I glanced at the tach and I was up over 2500 rpm, in reverse, but the truck wasn't trying to go anywhere. It was as if it had disengaged from reverse and was running wild. I put the transmission back into park and let go of the brake. The engine continued at high rpm for another few seconds (seemed like forever) and then went back to idle. I shut the engine off, sat for a few moments to collect my senses and then re-started the engine. Ran through all of the gears and all was working fine. I then continued the effort to connect my camper to the truck and all went well. Facts: 1. I am 100% absolutely certain my foot was not on the accelerator pedal and the brake at the same time. I never do this and have never done this by accident. 2. I have a witness and she was scared to death! 3. Tsbs were current at the time of the incident. 4. This problem has never happened in the past. 5. My truck still has the infamous shifting issues (tip-in, 2-3 snap-shifts amongst other gear shifting issues) even after the 2011-7-?? TSB. 6. I cannot replicate this situation. If these trucks had black box recorders on them, when issues like this occur we could shut off the truck, pull the black box and take it to the dealer for diagnosis.

I was driving the truck away from a traffic light. When the truck reached approximately 20 mph. The engine shut down completely. I lost forward motion, steering control and braking power. I was able to wrestle the truck off the road and into a parking lot. This is a Ford truck powered by a 6. 7 Ford diesel engine. , the truck is generally used to tow a 13000 pound fifth wheel. If I had been towing the fifth wheel, the outcome would surely have been a disaster. Problem turned out to be a totally failed bosch cp4-2 high pressure fuel pump. The pump slowly fails. As the pump travels the path to total destruction, the operator has no warning that the engine will suddenly die. When the truck quits, the operator has lost power steering and power brakes on a 8,500 to 23,500 pound vehicle.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford f350. While driving approximately 10 mph, an unusual noise emitted from the vehicle with the sudden loss of power steering. The contact experienced difficulty turning the steering wheel and was able to maneuver to the side of the road. He then inspected under the hood and discovered that the steering fluid reservoir was empty. The contact resumed driving. The brakes were applied with force repeatedly before the vehicle came to a stop. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the defect. The failure mileage was 1,039. Updated 8/30/11.

This truck has never stopped well. Seems like the abs coasts to a stop no matter how hard I stand on the brakes.
