3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2025

The back up camera on my f350 froze the image on the screen as I was backing up, and I didn’t realize that I had backed into my daughter’s car. I ripped my fender off and wedged my tires up underneath her crv there was no warning and I didn’t realize there was a recall on it because I hadn’t gotten anything in the mail. I did it my own driveway so I didn’t call the police and I haven’t turned on insurance yet. I wanted to see what I needed to do.

11 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2015

Engine stopped once in the road pulling a 40 ft. R. V. . Intermintley severe loss of power and trying to overheat. Comeing down a 7200 ft. Mountain I lost the r. V. Brakes,engine brakes & the tow haul mode (to help slow down) all I had was the truck brakes going around 80 m. P. H. By the time I got stopped all 4 wheels were smokeing cooking the related parts, rotors, brake pads, calipers,wheel bearings in my opinion. Later in a town going slow and stopping the brakes pulled violently to the right, a few more traffic lights then violently to the left. Failing to clean the diesel exhaust filter as needed. Sometimes the wipers come on one time when starting the engine. 3 attemps to fix the engine problems and in my mind it is not fixed yet, most of these problems happened at higher altitudes. All this information should be in the trucks black box, since I could have gotten killed twice I have not let the dealer have the truck again as it is running o. K. Now and I have ordered a new truck because I am afraid of this truck. The dates are approximate, the dealers and I have a copy of the repair attemps . I was on the same roads two years ago with a 2011 f-250 same engine and a heaver load and did not have any problems.
