| Description of the problem | This event had no warnings leading up to the failure. This failure occurred once and was debilitating. My 2005 ford f250 (6. 0 diesel) suffered a leak in two orings and a crack in an oil line in the high pressure oil system. The result was a vehicle that died and would not start. This vehicle only has 40,000 original miles on it. Online research has revealed that this is a design flaw in the 2004 & 2005 model years. Ford has issued tsb's on the problem however never notified consumers of the defect to forewarn or correct the affected model years. The engine has sensors that shut the engine down and prevent it from starting when oil pressure is lost from such defects. My vehicle was towed to ford, however the warranty had expired in december 2009. I have tried to resolve cost issue with ford to no avail. I feel this defect in design was a known problem and should have been addressed, especially while the vehicle was still under warranty. |
