2012 Ford F-450 owner complaints

While transporting a patient to the hospital the engine on our 2012 Ford ambulance suddenly and without warning derated. This caused our ambulance to slow dramatically and delayed transport to the hospital. We brought the ambulance to the dealer who stated the entire DEF system would need to be replaced at a cost of $5,000! I researching the internet this is not an uncommon problem. I contacted the regional manager for Ford and have had no response.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 Ford f-450. While driving 40 MPH, the vehicle began to stall and the check engine and oil pressure warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to park the vehicle on the side of the road as it stalled and turned off. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and then to bayshore Ford truck sales (located at 4003 n dupont hwy, new castle, de 19720, (302) 656-3160) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 38,500.

This vehicle is an ambulance and was dispatched on an emergency call. The crew attempted to crank the vehicle, but the starter would not even engage. Another ambulance had to be dispatched to the call. It was later determined that one of the four egt exhaust gas temperatur sensors had failed and disabled the vehicle. Had the vehicle been traveling on the highway, a very dangerous situation could have occurred. There was not an over heated exhaust condition nor an exhaust emission problem at the time, which is what these sensors are designed to detect. The powertrain control module(PCM) should not be programed to shut down a vehicle because of one sensor. Reduction of power may be acceptable. If more than one sensor detects a problem then that may be acceptable. Our agency has several of

This vehicle, which is an ambulance, was dispatched to an emergency call. As they turned into the drive of the facility the chimes sounded and the engine shut off. Had this vehicle been on the highway at the time, it would have been a very dangerous situation for the crew involved. At the very least, another ambulance had to be dispatched to the call and delayed care to the patient. It was determined later that the egt sensor had failed, although there was apparently no problem in the exhaust system at the time.

We have to replace our fuel tank because the lining has delaminated. We have already had to replace the engine which may have been a result of the lining deterioration.

Driving down the highway in the rain truck started shaking could not hold steering wheel . Truck started going sideways on highway from shaking/ wobble. Truck shuts off driving down the road with no warning no steering or brakes towing equipment. I have had my 1 year old daughter in truck almost in a accident 2 times now from trucks death wobble and motor shutting off towing equipment.

I took my Ford f-450 lariat for its 60,000 miles service. After the service was done, while driving it home from the Ford dealership (autonation Ford in corpus christi, tx), on the freeway as soon as I got to around 50 miles per hour the vehicle's front started to shake/wobble very violently. Speeding up to the speed limit (60 MPH) did not help and the shaking got actually worst, I had to stop for the shaking/wobbling to stop, thankfully I was still on the right lane and there was a wide enough shoulder for me to stop. As soon as I restarted and got to about 50 MPH the violent shaking restarted, and I had to stop again for this shaking to stop. I exited the freeway at the first exit and drove back to the dealer. On the way back the violent shaking repeated at least 5 more times, once o

While driving down a parkway at the speed limit, we traveled over several bridges and all of a sudden after hitting a rough spot in the road and over the bridges the truck began to shake violently and we had to almost come to a stop to hold it in the road. It continued to do this almost every time we hit a bump in the road. We had just recently bought this truck used, I am scared to ride or drive this truck anymore, it is my husbands and he does. We pull a horse trailer at times and I am scared to do so because it puts our lives as well as other motorists lives and my horses in danger. This needs to be recalled and corrected asap....he purchased some expensive part and had it put on under the front end and it has helped but lt still feels like it will start at any moment to shake when you

I was driving along my 2012 Ford f450superduty turbo diesel along the interstate 495 dc beltway in maryland with my seven year old son in the back seat, when a lcd in the middle of the speedometer gave a warning which read "reduced power" and could immediately feel a reduced responsiveness of the truck to the accelerator. A moment later another sign read " cleaning exhaust filter" which disappeared almost immediately. A moment later a final warning came up which read" stop at a safe location. I bearly pulled over to a dangerous shoulder when my truck shot down. At this point I could no longer move my truck to a safer location on the highway shoulder. The highway on which my truck stalled is the busiest highway in maryland. The truck stalling like the way it did put my life, my sons life an

1/28/14- hpfp metal shavings found after engine power down, all fuel system replaced. After only a few months (4/10/14) same thing. On 4/25/16 same thing. No warrant. Ford knows this has been ongoing issue, refuses to warranty while other mfg, ie vw does cover same part. I would welcome class action suit.

Key in ignition circuit is open - engine light on ' fixd indicates inspection issue.

On august 15, 2012, at approximately 1200 hours, I was traveling at speed limit north on I-95 near mile marker 78, liberty county, midway, georgia. The highway was clean and no debris in sight, when suddenly a pop sound took place and the left front tire went instantaneously flat followed by heavy noise of destruction. The vehicle was immediately stopped on the emergency lane (side of the road). I conducted an examination of the vehicle and discovered the left front tire was destroyed (disintegrate) and the top of the tire thread was removed from the tire. This caused a dent and damages to the left front fender, bent the under fender wall, fender liner was also dent and the road board was cracked. In addition, the rim had struck pavement particles which caused small dents into the rim.

When partially depressed the turn signal will only blink 3 times. I think I have activated a proper turn signal only to find out it was a partial. Ford says there is no way to program this differently. Does 3 blinks constitute a turnsignal? *tr
