By Mike Holter
UPDATE 9/25/13: All appeals have been resolved and the settlement is now final and effective. See how to file a claim for the Ford Diesel Engine Class Action Lawsuit Settlement.
UPDATE 8/19/13: The Court approved the Ford diesel engine class action settlement on July 2, but two appeals have been filed. The settlement cannot become effective until these appeals are resolved. Class Members are advised to check the status of these appeals on September 20, 2013. Sign up for our free weekly e-newsletter below to receive settlement updates.
UPDATE 6/6/13: The Court did not make a decision to approve the Ford Diesel Engine Class Action Lawsuit Settlement at the May 22, 2013 Fairness Hearing. A decision is expected in mid-July.
Class Notices have been mailed to U.S. consumers who purchased or leased a model year 2003-2007 Ford vehicle equipped with a 6.0-liter PowerStroke diesel engine notifying them of a proposed class action lawsuit settlement. The settlement will resolve allegations the engines are defective and plagued with problems.
If approved, the Ford diesel settlement will resolve dozens of class action lawsuits, consolidated as In re: Navistar 6.0L Diesel Engine Products Liability Litigation, that claim the PowerStroke diesel engines installed primarily in heavy-duty Ford trucks and vans contains defects that result in poor performance and expensive repair bills.
A federal judge has conditionally certified a class of all U.S. citizens who currently own or lease (or who in the past owned or leased) a 2003-2007 non-ambulance Ford vehicle sold or leased in the U.S. and equipped with a 6.0-liter PowerStroke diesel engine that received one or more of the following repairs covered by Ford’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty during the vehicle’s last five years in service or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first:
- Fuel injector
- Exhaust gas recirculation valve (“EGR”)
- EGR cooler
- Oil cooler
- Turbocharger
Class Members that submit a valid Claim Form will receive one of the following benefits if the class action lawsuit settlement is approved:
Reimbursement for Post-Warranty Repairs to Certain Engine Components. If the Class Vehicle required repair to the EGR cooler, oil cooler, EGR valve, turbocharger, or a fuel injector after the original five-year/100,000-mile warranty expired — but before six years or 135,000 miles (whichever comes first) — Ford will reimburse the Settlement Class Member repair expenses up to the limits specified below, provided the Class Vehicle previously received a repair to that same component that was covered by Ford’s original warranty.
Reimbursement of Deductibles. If a Settlement Class Member paid a $100 deductible more than once for repairs under the five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, Ford will reimburse $50 each for the second through fifth deductible paid, up to a limit of $200 for four deductible payments.
Claim Forms will not be available until after the settlement is approved and becomes effective.

We have an 08 F350 Super Duty with the EGR cooler that went out as soon as it hit 100,000 miles and everything started failing. They are *Ford) wanting $4000 to fix this repair. Our truck has now sat for a year because we can’t afford that expensive of a fix.
this is ridiculous
Have a 2006 Ford F350 Super Duty Diesel 6.0 Ford replaced the oil cooler and egr cooler in May 2011 when it had 50,711 miles on it. Every since then I have had to spend my own hard earned money trying to keep this thing going. I Bought the vehicle new in 12/2006 thinking I was buying a quality Ford product that would give me years of reliable service. I would love to sell it and get something more reliable like I thought I was buying in the first place. I go online and find many of these for sale with 200,000 miles and more on them and feel that’s what I thought I was getting when I bought this thing. Long story short my children I think just put and end to the continuation of the Ford purchases in the future seeing my experience with this one. Btw this was my 6th Brand New Ford vehicle and maybe my 20th Ford in all my years of owning vehicles. Needless to say Ford has lost my respect on this one
I purchased a 2005 F 250 Super Duty in 2011. I’ve had repairs every year since.Some twice in one year. Fuel injector
Exhaust gas recirculation valve (“EGR”)
EGR cooler
Oil cooler
Turbocharger
Water Pump
Radiator
It just wont stop. Can’t sell, nobody wants it! I wish FORD Company would help a little!
What a headache I have with this FORD f350 diesel 2005 6.0 is leaving me in the street. How can I make the diler repair me
Que dolor de cabeza que tengo con este FORD f350 diesel 2005 6.0 me esta dejando en la calle. Como puedo hacer para que el diler me repare.
Every time you turn around our truck( general public at large) has some kind of issue in the are already mention, Ford always wants to tell you its your problem not ours, Why can’t a huge manufacture ( FORD ) be stand up represented and just bring it in we will diagnose it. Hey your truck is under our guide lines of already detected as a manufacture defect!!!! You wonder no one trust FORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a FORD DEALER tell me that with the 6.0 diesel, Ford was using the Warranty Program in place of Research and Development. Too late for my $1800 on 4 fuel injectors!! It took 7 years! I agree with the pack…….. next diesel truck will be a Chevy!! Wish I’d have known when I bought it that it was a Navistar engine…..NOT a Ford product!
Details about insurance policies…
I will never buy a ford diesel again. I’m now driving a 2015 6.2 gas job I have had several ford diesels The worst one was a 2006 6.0 When I traded it and I lost my shirt they said it’s not worth anything because of the engine, at a Ford dealership they told me this in Auburn Massachusetts
