2015 Ford f350 6. 7 liter diesel turbocharger with only 58,000 miles malfunctioned while accelerating on to freeway without any prior warning indicators or symptoms. Immediately engine acceleration was reduced drastically causing freeway cars to nearly rear end my vehicle and other cars swerving to avoid accident. A message showed up simultaneously while reduced acceleration occured on vehicle’s dash display indicating something to the effect “reducing acceleration” and a yellow check engine icon lit up on dash display. I limped the vehicle to the side of freeway and shut engine off. Upon restarting engine discovered engine and turbo operated properly and was able to drive vehicle to a non-Ford service center to be repaired. The technician could not find anything wrong with the operation of the engine-turbocharger and cleared the trouble code. Drove vehical for approximately 500 miles and the same reduced acceleration problem re-occurred while accelerating on to freeway. Pulled vehicle over to safe area, shut engine off, re-started engine, engine and turbocharger operated properly, drove home and then to Ford dealership (check engine icon still lit). Discovered vehicle can not be smog tested with this intermittent problem due to check engine icon. My safety, my passengers safety, and others safety while driving on the freeway were put at high risk. The reduced acceleration problem does reoccur. Ford diagnosed the vehicle problem to be a bad turbo with an estimate of $5,100 dollars for removal and replace with new Ford turbocharger which only has a two year warranty. The repair work is currently in process. I consider this turbocharger to be pre-mature failure and a safety risk! this turbocharger intermittent failure in my opinion should be a mandatory recall and paid 100% by Ford.

Nhtsa complaint draft vehicle information: year/make/model: 2022 Ford F-350 VIN: [xxx] recall campaign: 25s75 / 25v455 mileage: 38606 problem description: my 2022 Ford F-350 is subject to recall 25s75/25v455 (low-pressure fuel pump failure). Ford notified me on July 8, 2025, that no remedy is currently available. The recall states the fuel pump can fail, resulting in a loss of fuel pressure and engine stall while driving. This creates a serious safety risk of crash or injury. Despite acknowledging the defect, Ford has not provided a remedy, a timeline for repair, or safe alternative transportation. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle, and I am still financially responsible for it. Safety concern: the risk of the engine stalling while driving, especially at highway speeds, creates an immediate danger to myself, passengers, and other motorists. Resolution sought: require Ford to provide a safe loaner or rental vehicle until a remedy is available, or require Ford to buy back or pay off the balance of this unsafe vehicle until the defect is resolved. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

There is an active recall on my truck and it is affecting my ability to use my truck for work purposes. I am not allowed to used a vehicle with an open, active recall, therefore I cannot use my truck. This recall has been active for more than six months and a remedy has not yet been identified. I am posting a complaint to try and speed up the recall process, which if I understand correctly is a software update for the engine to reduce biodiesel buildup in the engine which "could" cause loss of power.

The high pressure fuel pump is causing metal to be distributed throughout fuel system. The complete contaminated fuel system is required to be replaced by a high pressure fuel pump kit, which the dealer ordered against the workorder for my truck. For over a month now, my truck is parked in the dealer storage and stating they are waiting on approval to start repair. Note I have Ford's extended warranty. I've read online that many other owners of 6. 7l diesel trucks are having the same problems. I my opinion, a recall is certainly justified for this issue.
