Engine quits running and wont restart, so you have no power steering or brakes. Problem indicators are 1. Engine wont restart/ or quit running 2. Odometer reads all dashes, no numbers,3. Anti theft activated. This is caused by the power wire in the fuse box under the hood corroding off for the PCM relay and leaving the PCM dead.

One gas tank strap was found to be rusted and the tank at an angle. It was inspected by a local ford dealer, who found that the gas tank was also rusted and leaking. The gas tank and straps were replaced. Because the model year was not in the date range of the recent recall, we had to pay $793. A power steering pump was also leaking and replaced. The gas tank was the major item of concern.

I was told during a routine oil change that my truck needed tie rod ends and ball joints (not just some of them but all of them) I checked the internet and it seems there have been multiple complaints about these. Is there any investigation going on or a possible recall for this problem.
