| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 f-250 power stroke diesel my truck has stalled numerous times that have left me in very dangerous situations such as on freeways, where highway patrol officers had escort me to the shoulder of the freeway. The dealer has replaced numerous parts on my vehicle even before i had the problem of my truck stalling. They had replaced all the recall parts which was said to have caused the stalling of the power stroke models. Around 20,00 miles after i had bought my truck it would stall without warning. Up to this day it has stalled a total of about 12 times. Some times it would start and stall again and at times it would not start at all and had to be towed to the dealer. It has been to the dealer 5 times for them to fix it and every time they said that they had corrected the problem. They have given me flight data recorders to record the problems as it stalls. The problem was recorded and they still couldn't figure out the problem. The last time my vehicle stalled was on the 6th of july me and my family were on a vacation to yosemite towing a travel trailer when my truck stalled on a two lane highway with no shoulder so i was stalled dangerously close to opposing traffic when an on coming vehicle slammed into my mirror and broke it. It could have been alot worse in sense that my family's lives could have been in danger. I don't know what to do. All the shop foreman which i deal with at the dealer tells me to just bring my vehicle back to the dealer and they will fix the problem. But they have yet to fix this problem. I am fed up with this problem. *nm |
