| Description of the problem | I had a fuel injector fail that completely ruined the engine at 71k miles. I had to have it replaced. I was very surprised to see that my problem was exactly like the ford 2005 customer satisfaction program 07m08 problem. My truck was built in 2005, but titled as a 2006. I have talked and wrote to ford but they would not help me. I told them i still have the failed injector and they wouldn't even look at it to see if it was one of the defective parts that spurred the 07m08 program. I believe ford needs to expand the customer satisfaction program 07m08 to include 2006 models. I would love for the nhtsa to pressure ford to revisit this issue. This was hard for me because i still have the injector that failed. I keep it as a reminder of the $8,000 i had to spend on a new engine. I believe the nhtsa should pressure ford to admit which injectors were an issue so people like me have leverage to fight giants like ford that in this case screwed their customer. *js |
