| Description of the problem | My 2005 ford f-250 superduty 6. 0l diesel, first incident was may of 2007, at 16,000 miles my turbo charger went bad when i was trailering my horses in vermont, forced to stop at unknown dealership who "cleaned" something so i would make it back to my home. Again on the drive home i lost the turbo. It had to be replaced at the dealership, columbia ford, ct the next day. I was told i had to drive my truck hard and everyday in order to prevent the problem from occurring again. In march 2010 brought my truck to monaco ford, the motor had to be removed due to "all of the gaskets and seals in the motor leaking, as well as the turbo charger being bad again. This occurred at 24,500 miles. The side walls of my tires are peeling, the running board on the drivers side is falling off, and the body side molding is coming off and now at 26,000 miles the air position selector for the climate control system is not working. If i put it in a position for venting or for front and floor i just blows through the defrost vents. Obviously the warranty has passed with the exception of the motor and i have 26,500 miles on this truck. |
