general problems of the 2016 Ford F-350

The junk cab mounts deteriorate so fast the cab settles and crushes the wiring harness causing many electrical issues. There are many forums that talk about bad cab mounts and what components to use to repair them, but in my opinion this is a Ford issue.

The control arm for the turnsignals and wiper system fails resulting in the delay wipers constantly running. This is both an annoyance to driving as well as an obstruction to your field of vision. There also a risk of damage to the windshield as well. This is a very, very common part failure with Ford trucks.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, the a/c unit turned off without being disengaged. The tire pressure warning light flashed on the instrument panel. Additionally, the indicator lights were blinking quickly, and trailer turn light failed to illuminate properly and there was a delay when the trailer was connected. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brain control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

There is an "advanced" recall on the clockspring contamination on my vehicle. The local Ford dealership is stating that they do not have access to the parts to fix this issue, as it's an advanced warning. The issue is that the truck is having the malfunction. The buttons on the steering wheel do not work, which is now causing me to not be able to see the display b/c it's blocked by a warning, the airbag light is on which is an indication that it does not work. Ford won't look at it without charging $200 for diagnostics and then I will be responsible for paying for the repairs, even if it has to do with the recall. They aren't even sure if the truck can be repaired because they don't have the parts for the repair?????? this is a safety issue, and is basically forcing me to find another vehicle to drive since the airbags are showing they won't work. I also can't use the handsfree phone options since the buttons don't work on the steering wheel. Need to know when the parts are going to actually be available.

Vehicle was taken to seaside auto repair, satellite beach FL to be looked at for problems it was having on the 24th of March.

Agency started vehicle and drove to the pest mgmt shop at patrick afb, as the vehicle crossed the main gate, the driver heard a strange noise coming from the driver side of the hood near the side mirror, sound got faster.

A main computer communication cable failed (rubbed through) due to rubbing due from the use of the parking brake. I noticed all my gauges were not working. I happened to be very close to the Ford dealer, so I pulled in the lot and turned the truck off to see if the issue would reset. Upon trying to start the truck, everything was dead. I got the service manager and left the truck. When he called me to tell me what he found, I immediately recall reading about this same issue several times on the Ford truck enthusiast web site, and the fix was simply moving the communication cable so it doesn’t rub.
