Description of the problem | I bought my ford f-150/v/8 in 2005. Since 2005 i have had problems with the fuel injectors to date (03/20/2011). I have spent close to $4,000. 00 for problems resulting from the fuel injectors. Although ford sent out a letter dated december 2007, referencing and acknowledging problems with the injectors sticking open/close. It has been a nightmare at the service departments. Again although, ford extended the warranty on fuel injectors totaling 11 years or 120,000 miles from the start date. The customer pays for all other problems that occur as a result of the damage that the injectors caused. I experienced too much gas in the engine causing a bent rod. Injectors sticking open and closed causing shut down of the engine or fast acceleration. I'm seeking reimbursement from ford motor company for monies spent form problems that were cause by the fuel injectors. I have been to the service 7 to 8 times problems associated with the fuel injectors. This problem has become a financial burden. |
