Description of the problem | While driving, the "service engine soon" light came on. I drove to the auto repair shop and it was determined it was the egr pressure sensor defect. I was told by the repair shop that he thought this might be a recall item on the ford f150. I searched for recall notices on my truck and contacted the local ford dealership. I was told that there was not a recall for the egr, but a technical service bulletin was issued and ford sent out letters to have customers come in a have item replaced because of numerous complaints. My truck was ineligible because i now have over 72, 000 miles. Ford will not honor the tsb at no cost and the repairs will cost over $250. Why is their a mileage requirement for a mechanical defect that ford has acknowledged? *jb |
