Description of the problem	On march 13, 2012, i filed a complaint with ford motor company customer service regarding a repair they made to my truck. The case number is [xxx]. I had to replace two radiator hoses costing me $500. They were not defective due to abuse or maint. They had a design flaw per the service tech. I brought the truck in for one of them was leaking. They replaced both for they said that the other one was going to leak eventually. They were replaced with a newly designed hose to prevent the leaking. The tech stated that they have had to replace many on this model and year truck. I realize the truck was past the 3 year/36000 mile warranty; however it should have been covered under the power train warranty or ford should have covered the cost. It was a manufacture design flaw and could have blown out on the road causing a break down and highway safety hazard. All i'm asking for is that ford acknowledge the problem and a recall be mandated for the vehicle. The dealership said that was the only way i could be reimbursed. Should you require any additional information please let me know. I'm sure other owners have had this same issue. Also, i have in my possession the two defective and design flawed radiator hoses. I made the dealership give them to me. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
