| Description of the problem | No problems until about 60,000 miles. Then one day, while stopped, the truck suddenly died, the check engine light came on, and the gas gauge would indicated a quarter tank when the tank was actually full. All of this happened at the same time. I had two oxygen sensors replaced (about $400) to clear the check engine light and the fuel pump replaced (about $700) on the recommendation of the ford service department to cure the gas gauge problem. While turning across oncoming traffic, the vehicle has died and was hard to steer. Oncoming cars had to brake rapidly as i have had a hard time steering with no power. This has now happened numerous times. The truck dies or runs very rough and nearly stalls almost every time i drive it more than a mile or so. There is no check engine code and the dealer stated it could not be duplicated when i took it in for evaluation. This has the potential for creating a dangerous situation. I would fix this issue if it could be identified. |
