| Description of the problem | Vehicle stalled and stopped running in traffic on highway 231 in montgomery al. About an hour after, second incidence of violent front end oscillation [see previous complaint (odi number) is: xxx59219. Called ford roadside assist. I have 125k extended warranty and had vehicle towed to nearest ford dealership. There were no warnings of any kind from on board diagnostic systems . Vehicle was diagnosed with "evidence of water in fuel system" . There was no water present in system , no "water in fuel system" warning light ,has never lit up on this vehicle , had it checked in the past ,was told was functional], was told repairs were "not covered " . All service has been done to ford specifications and at ford facility. These repairs would not be necessary if the warning system was operable . I am in a business that sells, operates and uses diesels every day and all modern diesels have water in fuel sensors . Case is still open with ford customer care . This needs documentation . There would have never been an issue if the trucks systems were operating properly. The repairs are more than i can afford for a truck that is under warranty. This is clearly a system failure . |
