| Description of the problem | I live in a metropolitan area where there is always a high volume of traffic and losing power of a vehicle is a dangerous situation. Driving in 5:00 rush hour traffic and accelerating from a red light when my ford truck entered into a "limp home" mode (wrench icon and oil lamp appeared) it stalled out. I was able to coast into a parking lot even though i had no power steering or brakes. Eventually, i was able to start my vehicle. My truck drove fine but now and then had a hesitation to start. About a week later, it stalled again; this time it did not start. I was a block from my office and we pushed it back. I had it towed to a local shop and was told it was the fuel pump. I work in outside sales and had to have it replaced $700. The truck drove ok for about a month, but still hesitated on starting. In june, once again it stalled. I took it back to the shop and they could find nothing wrong. July 9th, i was driving about 55 mph when i came to a signal light and stopped. The light turned green, i begin my left hand turn and the truck stalled. I had it towed to ford dealer. They are saying that now it is the fuel pump battery junction box, another $2500 and it will take after labor day before i get my truck back because there are no parts available!!! Rent a car for 2 months on top of that!!! |
