2018 Ford F-250

Vehicle has been involved in 2 major accidents and no airbags deployed either time. In the most recent accident, the vehicle struck a light pole (splitting it in half) and then went into a ditch.

On 05/13/2020 truck was in an auto accident and declared total loss on NICB. Crash report doesn't reflect injuries. Speed limit on the highway says 60, on Google maps. Also, the officer's description doesn't make sense. There are 3 units, including trailer. Other vehicle is unit 3.... I also don't understand how the person in the 3rd unit did not have injuries. TXDOT Crash ID: 17689202.1 / 2020186795 Case ID: 2020-1548 USDOT: 1086178 Truck # 327 When I contacted the tow company, was informed there is no history of ever towing the truck! Owner of truck listed was not correct. Actual owner was Vertical Limit Construction which has two branches of the name. (TX) Vertical Limit Construction LLC Vertical Limit Construction, LLC (MN) Interstate, Utility Construction, Cellular Tower, End to End, Turnkey Services. Parent: QualTek Services. Trailer info DID list the company as owner, however. When I did a search, there has been repairs and history doesn't show of the truck ever being in an accident. There is an incomplete recall on Ford website but none on NHTSA. Vertical Limit Construction was listed as terminated April 2019 and dissolved July 2020.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-250. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ENGAGED IN PARK, IT MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND ROLLED BACKWARDS OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER A DITCH, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND CRASH INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. DURING THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS STANDING NEXT TO THE VEHICLE WITH THE DOOR OPEN. WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK, IT KNOCKED HIM OVER; INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MARSHAL MIZE FORD (5348 TENNESSEE HWY 153, HIXSON, TN 37343, (423) 875-2023), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,300. *TT

Fuel pump faulted, engine would just cut off in middle of driving whether on highway, street, or interstate. Engine would randomly shut off. Took to ford dealership, they had to replace low pressure and high pressure fuel pumps, the dealership says this model is notorious for that, the fuel pumps tear apart and send metal into the fuel rail. This caused the truck to not get diesel and shut off. An extreme safety issue. Several times it happened while driving, and nothing prepared you for it to happen. Just saw where models I believe starting with 2020 have been recalled for same issue. Don’t understand why 18 models weren’t.

IT CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM IOWA ON DECEMBER 3RD. I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD DOING 70 MPH. THE WHEELS AND STEERING STARTED VIBRATING SO BAD IT BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE. I HIT THE BRAKES AND PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. WHILE PULLED OVER A SEMI TRUCK HIT THE REAR OF MY CAMPER TOTALLING IT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO MISSOURI WITH CAMPER. THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED TWICE. AFTER THE SECOND I DROPPED THE SPEED TO 60 AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THE DEATH WOBBLE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND ITS A SHAME THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE THE AUTO INDUSTRY IS A POWERFUL INSTITUTION.

DRIVING AT 65 MPH THE TRUCK BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL STEERING AND WAS TAKEN LEFT ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC INTO THE MEDIAN ON A HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK WOBBLES AND SHAKES SO BAD I WAS UNABLE TO REDUCE SPEED VERY QUICKLY.

While on vacation, driving down a major interstate, our truck suddenly lost power. The driver slowly navigated to the side of the road and by the time we stopped flames were coming out from under the engine. We quickly got ourselves and three children out of the vehicle that, within minutes, was completely engulfed in flames. It was noted by police and the wrecker company that diesel fuel was on the road behind the truck and on the trailer that we were pulling.

This is a turbo diesel F250 Ford Truck which caught on fire and was completely destroyed while on the interstate in VA. Our safely was very much at risk as the truck was fully engulfed in flames within minutes. We were able to pull off the side of the highway and get ourselves and the dog out of the cabin just before it would have been impossible to do so. Complete total loss; we do not know at this time what the cause of the fire was; there were no warning lamps, messages on the dash to alert us. The driver happened to notice some smoke coming from the hood and quickly pulled over to check to see what might be going on. Within seconds, the hood started to buckle as the fire raged under the hood and we were fortunate to be able to have pulled over as quickly as we did. We lost everything inside the truck including all the camping gear, etc that was in the bed. The front of our trailer that we were pulling was also heavily damaged. Very very frightening event and we are so thankful that we were able to escape without harm, other than some scratches, minor cuts as we frantically tried to help stop the flames with an extinguisher we had onboard our trailer we were pulling.

This particular truck has heated front seats. While I was driving today 2/18/2022 at about 2:35pm the passenger heated seat was on and the seat caught on fire. The seat was empty and nothing was on the seat. I looked over and there were flames coming from the seat. A hole about a quarter in size was burned in my seat.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH, SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER PULLING OVER AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE PRESENT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED AWAY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

THE AC LINE FITTING OVERHEATED CAUSING IT TO EXPLODE AND ARC WHICH IN TURN MELTED THE PRIMARY WIRING HARNESS FOR THE ENGINE. THIS ALSO RESULTED IN THE WIRE CATCHING FIRE AND CAUSING BURN DAMAGE TO THE FIREWALL. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE WATER FROM THE CAR WASH PREVENTED FURTHER FIRE DAMAGE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THERE WERE NO WANING SIGNS, LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE CAB WAS MELTED TO THE FRAME IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES.

2018 FORD F-250 WAS PARKED WITH ENGINE OFF WHEN FIRE STARTED UNDER THE INTERIOR CABIN. FIRE SPREAD THROUGH-OUT THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETELY ENGULFED THE TRUCK WITHIN MINUTES. COMPLETE BURN

Low fuel pressure alert came on the truck. It went away and then came on again a few days later. We took the truck to Joe Meyers Ford in Houston, TX. They verified the code/alert and replaced the fuel filter, then re-tested. The alert returned and once they continued their diagnosis, it was determined that the fuel pressure control valve had failed, allowing fuel, DEF, and water into the fuel filter. The fuel pressure would no increase to minimum spec of 55 psi. Ford then said that without replacing the Fuel Pressure Control Valve, Fuel pump, fuel filters, and flushing all the lines, the risk for the engine to seize up was very likely. They noted this was a similar issue happening to 2020 and older trucks, but all the same parts and issues. Upon repairing the truck, we have read up on recall 24V957 and feel the issues we encountered are identical in complexity and costs. We paid nearly $20,000 in repairs.

My backup camera went black. There is a recall on this product 25V572 or Ford 25S89. My vin number is not on the list. How do i get my vin number on this list since the problem is identical to the recall prolem?

100k miles and the high pressure fuel pump is failed. Created small metal particles that got into fuel lines. Everything needs to be replaced. There’s a recall on over 80k trucks with the same issue. Local ford said this is the same issue as all the recalls but because we don’t have the recall on our VIN, we have to pay $20k for replacement.
