| Description of the problem | F250 6. 0l diesel with 85844 miles had the egr/oil cooler go bad the repair cost 4744. 00 at the dealer. I have an extended warranty but as usual not covered. This a known problem with these 6 liters along with the head bols being substandard and faulty ficm which i replaced at the cost of 525. 00 and doing the work myself. I have tried to resolve this with ford and my warranty company warranty direct to no avail. I did get the warranty company to admit the egr cooler was covered but they would not cover the other repairs required with this repair so i got 981. 00 from them. These problems have been well documented and i feel it is about time the nesta got involved and got recalls established. My vehicle just started having a small amount of fluid under it th a t i had checked out within 2 days of noticing which led to the egr/oil cooler being repaired and the ficm got replaced a fer truck started running real ruff on cold start up and the ficm sent code of the problem but it can also just stop functioning even while driving which could be fatal. |
