| Description of the problem | This 2005 ford f250sd i bought 3 years ago has been nothing but trouble. In the first 2 months of owning the vehicle the oil sensor switch went bad leaving me stranded twice. I finally talked ford into replacing the switch since it had only been 2 months from purchase. Then a year later the fuel control module this site says it is a recall for this year but ford says it is not. Cost $1200 now again not even 3 years later the oil switch blew out again. Even though a trained ford mechanic replaced it. It is costing $1500 to have replaced. With all the same complaints with this motor it is a wonder why ford has not made a recall. |
