| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
On highway for 2 hours, pulling 5th wheel trailer. Diesel particulate filter cleaning alert went on. Immediately truck lost power, a few other alerts flashed on the screen that couldn't read in time then alert that truck was being put in neutral which it did. Smoke coming out of engine compartment. Barely coasted to stop on side of freeway. Quickly turned from white smoke to brown. Barely enough time to get me, wife and dog out of the cab before flames coming out of engine. Engine and cab completely burned out.
On 7 Aug 2022, I lost cruise control, navigation function (gps0 and had problems with other elecrical functions on instrument cluster. I took truck to my local Ford dealer; they rand Ford diagnostics on truck and it had 3 module errors listed. They cleared the codes and tried to get me to accept the vehicle. Road tested it and there efforts of clearing the codes did not fix any thing. Brought back in shop on 10 Aug 2022. Diagnostics ran again now narrowed it down to apim failing 3 times in 2 days. Now deallership says they have to order part from California if they have them in stock. This truck only has 22,000 miles on it. Has had multiple failures of equipment for fuel system listing codes p0191 2 and threee times per day. Dealer will not attempt to fix that problem. Just says deal with it.
Transmission lunges forward at times even when putting into park position and starting vehicle. Also, when driving down the road vehicle jerks or bucks and throws you forward. Periodically, there is a complete loss of transmission function then you hear large bang and truck jerks forward. This has been reported to fenton Ford camden, NY several times and they cannot seem to find issue and stated if it doesnt duplicate happening when they have vehicle there is nothing they can do about it. This has become a serious safety concern when truck jerks forward when starting and park position and lunges forward in traffic. Thank you for your anticipated, cooperation and help resolving this serious safety matter.
