Common failures & how to fix them

Parts and video buttons search for your 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Always confirm a part fits using your VIN. Brakes, steering, fuel and airbag work affects your safety, so if you're not sure, have a qualified mechanic do it.

• Front-end shake (death wobble)

  Moderate DIY

  Signs: Violent shaking of the steering wheel and front end after hitting a bump, usually at 45+ mph. Slowing down hard is often the only way to stop it.

  Fix: Find and replace the worn parts, most often the track bar or its bushings, then check ball joints, tie rod ends, the drag link and alignment. A new steering stabilizer alone usually only hides the problem.

• High-pressure fuel pump (CP4) failure

  Easy DIY

  Signs: Sudden stalling or no-start, low fuel pressure codes, metal in the fuel filter. Often there's little warning.

  Fix: Prevention is the fix you can do: change both fuel filters on schedule, drain the water separator, and buy fuel from busy stations. Some owners add a kit that keeps pump debris away from the injectors. A failed pump usually means a full fuel system replacement at a diesel shop.

• 6.7L exhaust temperature (EGT) sensor failure

  Moderate DIY

  Signs: Check engine light, reduced power, or the engine shutting down. Most common on 2011–2012 trucks.

  Fix: Scan for codes to find which sensor failed and replace it. There are four on the exhaust.

• 6.7L coolant leaks

  Moderate DIY

  Signs: Low coolant, a sweet smell, dried coolant crust on the upper radiator hose fitting, radiator or coolant bottle.

  Fix: Find the source. The upper radiator hose O-ring is a common and simple fix. Radiators and coolant bottles are bigger jobs.

• 6.7L DEF heater and NOx sensors

  Moderate DIY

  Signs: DEF or exhaust fluid warnings, reduced power, check engine light.

  Fix: Scan for codes. Common fixes are a NOx sensor or the DEF heater and pump assembly.

    I am the original owner and began experiencing the death wobble in 2020. I put $5k into my suspension and put an additional steering stabilizer bracket to still experience the wobble. It’s dangerous and has nearly made me wreck with my only child onboard. Something has to be done. This is a known issue that Ford will not address or repair properly. These vehicles are not cheap and we should feel safe to drive on the interstate. I currently cannot. Extremely disappointed in Ford

  • Filed Dec 2024

    Several months ago I noticed a shrill whining noise coming from the engine compartment. Upon closer inspection, I observed raw emissions coming from the exhaust manifold. Upon research I noticed that this was a very common problem with the 6.7 diesel between 2011 and 2014 with Ford even putting out a service bulletin (SSM50330) and designing repair parts and new heads for their defective design of exhaust studs. The repair of this defective part is very costly and they expect the owners of the vehicles to bear the entire cost of this repair. This is not only a safety issue because of exhaust gases entering the cab of the vehicle, but is also an EPA issue because these gases are passing directly to the atmosphere without being treated or going through the catalytic converter!

    My 2013 F-350 Super Duty 6.7 Diesel truck has a problem with the DEF system and power loss. I had a check engine light come on, and an AutoZone scan shows a P20BA Power Train System and a few other codes were noted (see attached documents). I took it to my selling dealer, and they confirmed the Reductant Heater needs to be replaced. I found out there is a recall for this defective part on just about every Ford F-Series 6.7 Diesel "except" my specific year and model. The recall on all of the other F-Series trucks have the same defective part as my truck has. Why is Ford getting away with this. If the part installed in my truck is the same defective part that is being replaced on all of the other trucks, why is my truck not included in the recall, it is the same defective part. It is costing me over $1,700.00 to replace a known to Ford and NTSB, a defective part. I would think Ford should be ordered to include my truck in the recall or replace at cost of parts only and not the full-blown excessive charge I am having to pay. PLEASE HELP

    The 2013 Ford F-350 Death Wobble. The front end suspension was affected. It occurred on an Interstate freeway at approximately 75 MPH. This is the first time for the vehicle.

    Traveling at speeds between 60-70mph on highways, at slights curves with rough pavement, my truck begins shaking violently to the point of losing control. Once I slow down and pull over it stops. It occurs without any warning. It has now happened a half dozen times. Nearly lost control and just avoided an accident on the last event. I had recall work done at Ford dealer today. Described the event. They told me about “death wobble” occurrences common with F250 and F350s. Looked it up. Description matches perfectly with my experience. Mechanics checked my steering linkage, axel, wheels for play, u linkages. Nothing out of the ordinary. I am deeply concerned for my safety.

    We have experienced “death wobble” several times with the Ford. Every time we get all the necessary parts replaced and they’ll last about 6 months and the death wobble will return. It’s highly dangerous as you lose control of the vehicle and it can walk into another lane with traffic. You are unable to steer when this is happening. The only way to regain control is to slow the vehicle down to around 35/40 mph. It’s a danger to us and to others on the road.

    The EGR system has caused the truck's transmission to go into idle mode which is 2 miles an hour. Safely it can not be driven to be serviced if you are on the road. This system has reset its self on 3 occasions, once when I was taking the truck into a Ford service dealership. They stated they could not do anything without the trouble senor on. There is one recall on the nox sensor and 3 other service alerts for the EGR on the trucks. This is very dangerous and should be put in your system.

    WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED I NOTICED MY CAR PULLING TO ONE SIDE AND THEN MY LOW TIRE PRESSURE COME ON .WHEN I GOT TO A SAFE LOCATION I LOOKED AT MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE AND SAW IT WAS LOW. I PUT AIR IN IT, AFTER RETURNING TO MY CAR IT WAS LOW AGAIN. I PUT AIR IN IT AGAIN, DROVE TO THE SHOP TO GET MY TIRE LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THERE IS A CRACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIM. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE ON THEI TYPE OF TRUCK (KNOWN FOR HAULING HEAVY LOADS), AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A BRAND NEW RIM. OF COURSE MY TRUCK IS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRENTY, THAT'S WHEN THINGS TEND TO GO BAD. IM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BEING A MANAFACTOR DEFECT DUE TO WHERE THE CRACK IS LOCATED. I'M ALSO VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF ME AND OTHERS DUE TO THE AREA WHERE WE LIVE, HOW WE USE HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS TO GET AROUND, WHAT WE ACTUALLY USE THE TRUCK FOR, AND OTHERS. ALTHOUGH NOBODY WAS HURT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHE. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD OCCUR ON THIS TYPE OF HEAVY DUTY TRUCK. I'M MAKING A REPORT NOW BECAUSE SOO MANY PEOPLE TOLD ME TO DUE TO SAFETY PROTOCOLS. THABK YOU

    WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE WHEN PARKING A TRAILER OR POSITING THE TRUCK IN A PARKING SPACE THE ENGINE WILL GO FULL THROTTLE AND WILL SPIN THE REAR WHEELS EVEN WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE WITH NO WARNING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE ENGINE IS TO TURN THE KEY OFF PUTTING IN PARK OR NEUTRAL DOES NOTHING. HAVE CALLED SEVERAL FORD DEALERS AND WAS TOLD THAT IF NO CODE WAS SET THEY COULD NOT HELP. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES TO ME. IF SOMEONE ELSE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY RUN INTO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. EVEN HOLDING THE BRAKE THE TRUCK STILL WILL MOVE OR SPIN THE REAR WHEELS DEPENDING ON THE ROAD SERVICE WHEN THIS DIESEL GOES FULL THROTTLE. NOT SAFE AT ALL. NEED SOME HELP GETTING THIS FIXED. HAS DONE IT WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE AND OR JUST GOING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. NO REAL PATTERN WILL DO IT IN HOT WEATHER AND COLD WEATHER TEMP DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I HAVE LEARNED TO JUST REACH DOWN AND TURN THE KEY OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IN GEAR. WILL START BACK UP AND BE AT NORMAL ENGINE SPEED. I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE IT DO THIS BY SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE ISSUE ACCRUE IT JUST HAPPENS.

    THIS VEHICLE SHUTTERS UPON TAKING OFF AND WILL FROM SPEEDS OF 20 TO 70 MPH BOUNCE OR HAVE "WHEEL HOP". THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAD DISCRIBED THIS TO BE A SIMULAR PROBLEM AS THE SHORT BED SUPER DUTY, HOWEVER MAINTAIN THIS WHEEL HOP IS NOT A SAFTY ISSUE. I WAS ALSO ADVISED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDS NO FIX AND CALLS THIS THE CHARACTER OF THE TRUCK. AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL ACTUALLY BOUNCE THE REAR END TO WHERE THE FEELING IS LIKE THAT OF A BAD TIRE OR BUBBLED TIRE. THE WHEEL HOP WILL CONTINUE INTERMITTANTLY WHILE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WHILE TOWING THIS ALSO INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF WHEEL HOP WITH WEIGHT IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. *TT

    WHILE OUR TRUCK ON A NORMAL HIGHWAY WITH MINOR IRREGULARITIES AND SOME ROUGH SURFACES AT A SPEED OF 60 TO 70 MPH, THE TRUCK WILL START TO OSCILLATE TO THE POINT OF INDUCING A VIOLENTLY STEERING WHEEL SHIMMY AND AN UNCONTROLLABLE BOUNCE OF THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST 2-MONTHS WHEN I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN IN TOWN, I AM NOW SCARED TO GO ON THE ROAD WITH THE TRUCK AS THE CONDITION SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I HAVE TO BRAKE QUICKLY AND STEER THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO STOP THE OSCILLATION. THE SHAKING IS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BOTH TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE BEING VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. ONLY AFTER SLOWING TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH DOES THE OSCILLATION STOP. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I AM PERPLEXED WHY FORD OR THE NTHSA HAVE NOT STEPPED FORWARD TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED IF A SOLUTION IS NOT FOUND. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK NOW TO TWO DIFFERENT CERTIFIED FORD DEALERSHIPS AFTER EACH INCIDENT EACH TIME WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WITH THESE TRUCKS. THIS CAN'T SERIOUSLY BE TRUE? AFTER DOING RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN TERMED BY THE MASSES IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN FOR MANY YEARS NOT FOR THE SELECT FEW CONSUMERS BUT FOR SO MANY.

Safety ratings

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings from government crash tests. Ratings can differ by cab style and 2WD/4WD.

NHTSA hasn't published star ratings for this truck. Many heavy-duty pickups aren't included in NHTSA's crash-test program, so this doesn't mean the truck is unsafe.
