| Description of the problem | When i bought my ford f250 back in 2008 i have had constant problems with the truck as i would be going down the highway the truck would lose power and i would press the gas pedal and the truck would only do around 40mph. A few weeks ago i drove from chicago up to green bay wi and then back going there about half way the truck was ok the other half way up there and back the chicago the truck was not shifting it felt like it was towing a trailer when it was not my foot was on the floor all the way and i was only doing 40mph on a 60+mph highway which i had truckers almost coming in contact with my truck. My truck has been in the shop over a dozen times and ford does not have a clue what is wrong with the truck because there computers show nothing wrong when there service tech drove the truck and said there is a problem with it but they our unsure. The last time my ford dealer stated that it might be a catalytic converter. I have contacted ford motor company about this issue and they did not want to work with me on fixing the truck only offering 20% off of the cost to fix the catalytic converter and they are not sure that this will fix the issues i have been having i am not the only person having this problem with my truck i talked to a few other ford truck owners and they have the same problem. |
