| Description of the problem | 2008 ford f-250. Radiator leaking. Dealer states to ford customer service that they found a leak in april of 2010. They never informed me of it however. In april the vehicle was still under the 36,000 mi. Warranty. I first noticed the leak around the last of november 2010 and by then the vehicle was at 46,000 mi. And out of warranty. My dealer tells me they and ford are aware that there is a problem with these radiators but ford has yet to issue a recall. Dealer wont incur any of the cost for repairs and ford wont offer any assistance either. |
