| Description of the problem | My 2004 ford f250 super duty diesel had its turbo replaced in may 2005-it has been in and out of the dealership's garage on and off for the last year, stalling out at various speeds, we can not tow anything with out it blowing black smoke and cutting out. I am 1000 miles from the initial warranty the mechanic's have not fixed the problem i located a nhtsa recall which describes the problem to the tee. Ford motor company representatives told me that my vehicle's vin wasn't included in the recall so i have to pay out of my pocket for the correction. Even though i am still under warranty, and the consequences of summary states: if the engine stalls, a crash could occur. Which could endanger my family and possibly someone else. *nm |
