| Description of the problem | Earlier this year, my f-150 started showing signs of overheating. A diagnostic was done and showed nothing. Following this i had the thermostat replaced 3 times. I was experiencing 'limp mode' where i'd be on the highway and the truck would go from 65 to 20 in seconds with only a "bing" sound as a warning. I researched on line to learn what the cause might be. And determined it was probably the etc sensor/knock sensor. My regular mechanic would reboot? The computer system and it would work for a while and then the same thing would happen. I finally went to the ford dealership where i originally purchased the truck. Due to the unprofessionalism of this dealership, i was compelled to contact ford corporate office. They informed me that even though this is a manufacturer's defect and there have been complaints about it, they were not in a large enough number to warrant a recall. |
