| Description of the problem | Egr and oil cooler failure... Caused engine failure and hydrolock situation. The engine stopped the truck right in the middle of an intersection almost causing an accident. Total cost of repairs to my vehicle $2542. 42. Sure would be nice for ford to have a hand in the repairs due to their faulty engine design. I have read 100's of reports online about this and ford still will not fix or help pay for their engine. Ford refused to help with repair cost. I only have 98000k miles. Please launch an investigation into these complaints. I believe you will find enough evidence to warrant an investigation. I am sure that the lobbyist at ford are doing their job to keep this from becoming a recall situation. It is hurting no one but the owners of this 6. 0l diesel engine!!! We need your help! |
