| Description of the problem | I have owned the truck for approx. 9 months, (third owner). While towing my travel trailer or going uphill unloaded, the turbo will howl loudly and the truck will experience a significant power loss (cannot maintain adequate speed above 45 mph). Also i average only 9 mpg city and 11. 9 mpg highway unloaded weight. I have taken the truck to antelope valley ford as well as the previous owner and get the same response, "cannot duplicate. It seems as if ford has instructed their technicians to "cannot duplicate" all complaints in an effort to avoid fixing under warranty. |
