| Description of the problem | The fuel injection control module (ficm) failed on my truck, causing the engine to not start or run. This is a very common component failure for the 6. 0l diesel engine. If it fails when the vehicle is being driven, it could cause loss of control, loss of power steering, loss of braking capability. Ford must be aware of the common failure of this component, yet no recall to replace these faulty modules has been issued. In the interest of public safety, i request that ford be required to replace all existing ficm's on the 6. 0l diesel engine with one of better quality, and reimburse all owners of these vehicles that have already paid the excessive repair costs, commonly over $1000, to have their failed ficm's replaced. |
