2008 Ford F-250 SD Engine And Engine Cooling Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1589526
Internal NHTSA #	11242558
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	F-250 SD
Model Year	2008
File date	03/12/12
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Have had numerous problems with the cooling system on this vehicle. Had the air charge cooler replaced under warranty at around 70,000 miles. The radiator was leaking as well but dealer refused to replace it and wanted 1400. 00 to replace. Was losing coolant at a rate of about 1 gallon a week going thru the air charge cooler and out the exhaust. At 89,000 miles i had to pay $1947. 00 to replace both the vertical and horizonal egr coolers. Again, dumping a gallon of coolant into the exhaust system a week causing sever smoking and pollutants. This is a serious problem that thousands or probably millions of f-250 and others with the 6. 4l diesel engine. Ford refused to do the right thing and do a total recall on these ill designed trucks. I cannot believe they have been allowed to get away with turning their head on this design flaw and not made to correct the air charged coolers, plastic radiators and the egr coolers.
