During the previous repair, the block heater cable's splice connector may have been damaged.

Consequence: A damaged cable could cause a resistive short, increasing the risk of overheated or melted wiring, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will disable the engine block heater from being used. When replacement cables become available, a second notice will be mailed and dealers will replace the engine block heater cord, free of charge. The recall began May 31, 2019.

Consequence: Unintended tailgate opening may allow unrestrained cargo to fall out of the truck bed and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will modify the tailgate/frame wiring harnesses by adding jumper pigtails to isolate the tailgate release control circuits and will install a new tailgate handle release switch, free of charge.

Consequence: A fractured driveshaft can cause a loss of drive power. Additionally, a vehicle rollaway could occur while parked if the parking brake is not engaged. Either of these scenarios increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the driveshaft, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 27, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S74.

No warning that this vehicle is designed to cut itself off after 30 minutes of idle time. This is NOT STANDARD and no owner would ever know or expect this. Ford should have at minimal a warning placard like it does for airbags. We purposely got a 250 truck to use the idle with AC as we setup and cool down our RV. Thankfully we found out about this to avoid serious injury, living in TX climate where temps outside reach 100+ degrees. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed since this is NOT expected or a STANDARD feature of ANY veh…

When you start engine, and it's below normal temp, the engine maintains a high idle rpm and upon shifting to fwd or reverse the truck overpowers the brakes and accelerates rapidly. In reverse it's startling. It's unsafe in parking lots and on street parking.

The 10-Speed Automatic Transmission shifts hard and randomly. Leaving a stop sign, at any rate of speed, causes slippage in the shifting. Sometimes it'll shift too slowly, resulting in a jerky motion of the vehicle. Sometimes when on the highway, usually traveling at 68mph (cruise control), the vehicle will randomly jump gears when it's not necessary. Recently while getting up to speed we heard a large grinding noise shifting into 4th gear. The vehicle, otherwise, runs great. The transmission leaves alot to be desired and I do not have any con…

The following systems also displayed failure warnings: ABS Traction Control Parking Brake ( Parking brake also showed as activated when it was not active- it would audibly disengage but the parking brake light stayed lit) Stability Control 4wd. The combination of the parking brake showing as active and the shifter showing the vehicle was in reverse while being able to roll forward freely is dangerous.

THIS IS THE SECOND ISSUE THAT I HAVE HAD WITH MY FORD 5.4 LITER TRUCK. THE FIRST WAS A FAMOUS FIRESTONE TIRE BLOWOUT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THAT COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED ME AND SEVERAL OTHERS, AS I WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH ACROSS A BRIDGE. IT CAUSED ABOUT $3500 DAMAGE TO THE BED OF MY TRUCK. TODAY, A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT. THE THREADS ARE GONE. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THE TRUCK, SO I KNOW NOTHING HAS BEEN DAMAGED BEFORE. I HAVE SMELLED FUEL FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS AND COULDN'T COME UP WITH AN ANSWER. I HAD SCHEDULED TO TAKE IT IN TO THE SHOP TOMORROW,…

I HAVE A 1999 FORD F250 WITH A TRITON 5.4L V8 ENGINE. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR IT BLEW OUT A SPARK PLUG FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I'VE FOUND IT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS DUE TO THE FUEL VAPOR THAT WAS COMING FROM THE EXPOSED CYLINDER. THE SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAB WAS SUBSTANTIAL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF $4521. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT OR WORSE FROM A FIRE CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 FORD F-250 SD. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 65 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED BURNING OIL. HE THEN NOTICED SMOKE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD AND OIL DRIPPING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING. THEY WOULD NEED TO DISASSEMBLE THE ENGINE AND REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET AT THE ESTIMATED COST OF $2,800-$4,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,000.
