I HAVE A 40 FT TOY HAULER I PULL WITH THE F350, GOING UP HILL AND ALL SYSTEMS FAIL. BUT LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN RD I WAS TRAVELING. A FUEL RAIL IS DISCOVED GONE BAD, BILLOWS OF WHITE SOME PRIOR TO SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. $2800.00 REPAIR. TWO WEEKS LATER ANOTHER MOUNTAIN PASS TRUCK OVER HEATS CAUSING SYSTEM FAILURE. COME TO FIND OUT $10,000 DOLLARS LATER IN REPAIRS ALONE NOT, TALKING HOTEL, RENTAL CAR, AND DELAY OF TRIP FOR NINE DAYS. BUT THE PHIL LONG FORD DEALERSHIP NEW ABOUT THE COSTLY REPAIRS AND FAILS TO INFORM CUSTMOR.. LEADING HIM TOO A TOTAL OF $7300.00 IN REPAIRS. TOTAL REPAIRS $10,100. THANKS PHIL LONG FORD, COLORADO SPRINGS, FOR NOT INFORMING CUSTOMERS OF THE COSTLY REPAIRS BUT KNOWING THEY WHERE THERE. DRAGING HARD WORKING AMERICANS THOUGH THE DIRT... GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS. NOT... *TR
APPROXIMATELY 16,000 MILES PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT (96,450) THE VEHICLE HAD A LACK OF TOWING POWER. I TOOK IT TO FORD, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE EGR COOLER AND OIL COOLER. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT THIS HAPPENS TO EVERY 6.0 LITER DIESEL. HE STATED THEY UPDATED THE COOLERS TO FIX THE PROBLEM (PRETTY MUCH ADMITTING THAT THEY DID NOT BUILD IT RIGHT). I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE TRUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON THERE IS NO RECALL. $4,730.78 LATER, MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED. ALTHOUGH I DO TOW WITH THE VEHICLE (THAT'S WHAT ITS MADE FOR), I BABY THE VEHICLE. I DO OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 (RECOMMENDED AT 5000) AND CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER 2 TIMES A YEAR (RECOMMENDED EVERY 12,000). THREE YEARS LATER AND ONLY 16,000 MILES LATER (113,239) THE VEHICLE AGAIN HAD A LACK OF POWER. I TOOK IT TO FORD AGAIN, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE EGR COOLER, OIL COOLER, AND HEAD GASKETS. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I JUST HAD THE EGR COOLER AND OIL COOLER REPLACED, BUT IT WAS OUT OF THE REPAIR WARRANTY. HE SAID ALL OF THESE TRUCKS HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. $7,937 (DISCOUNTED) AND TWO WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK. MY FAMILY HAS USED FORD DIESEL TRUCKS FOR YEARS AND NORMALLY GET 250,000 OUT OF THEM BEFORE ANY MAJOR REPAIRS. FORD DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT LIKE THEY USED TO. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD. *TR
THE TRUCK WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING WILL WARN THE DRIVER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN $1500 AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WILL NOT FUNCTION WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. *TR
THE HEAD BOLTS HAVE A KNOWN DEFECT, WHICH FORD FILED A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THE ENGINE MANUFACTURE NOVASTAR FOR AND WON. THIS DEFECT/WEAKNESS CAN CAUSE THE BOLTS TO FAIL/BREAK CAUSING MANY COMPONENTS TO BECOME DAMAGED. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY TO THE VEHICLES OCCUPANTS. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL BECAUSE ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH ALL OF THE 6.0 DIESEL ENGINES IN THIS YEAR/MODEL ARE AFFECTED.
