 2010 f-250 40k miles has been in and out of the shop since purchased 14 service repairs and 8 of the 14 repairs have been major, transmission was leaking and down shifting while on the highway, had to be repaired, cruise control went out while on the freeway and the truck lost all power while on a highly congested highway, it has had the same problem a few times now, defective instrument cluster fuel, speedometer. egr valves went out and stalled in the middle of a intersection with a 30 foot trailer, which that happened twice, ford says well this has never happened to any other vehicles that they have dealt with. this has reoccurred multiple times, which causes traffic congestion and could possibly result in major issues or accidents, truck was purchased to haul a trailer and we do not trust it at all since it has broke down so many times. when you press the accelerator loaded or unloaded it has a hesitation before it goes, sometimes it takes awhile to get up to speed, fuel injectors have been replaced also. when the cleaning exhaust system is on it starts to decelerate and you lose a good amount of power.

 The dpf / cleaning exhaust filter initiated without warning while i attempted to cross a busy intersection, thus, drastically reducing the boost and power to the vehicle when it was absolutely essential. the drastic loss of boost and power put me in imminent danger due to on coming traffic and my vehicle and i were in the broadside position. a motorist had to take evasive action to avoid slamming into the side of my vehicle by riding onto and over the median. i was lucky enough to retrieve his name and phone number. i brought the vehicle to the team ford las vegas for repair, however, the truck checked out according to ford's specification. on 3/10/11 service manager bob rahala contacted ford consumer relations in my presence and the representative stated ford is aware of the problem and we are working on it; you will be contacted within 48 hours with the further information. i received the call from ford consumer relations 23 hours later and the representative stated the truck is operating according to spec, there is no problem. please be advised, ford is aware of the boost and power loss when the cleaning exhaust filter mode is in effect. my ford case number is 0527870691 which ford closed. this is a major safety issue that requires action immediately.
