I own a 2004 ford f-350 super duty diesel truck and I purchased it brand from sheehy ford dealership in marlow heights. This truck stalls while driving and has done so since I purchased the vehicle. I have taken it in to be repaired and the dealer said they fixed the problem, however the truck continues to stall. Please refer to campaign no. 05v270000. The dealership would like for us to share in the cost of repair, but we do not want to pay again for this vehicle to be fixed, have this problem happen again, and then the car not fall under warranty and we are stuck again with an unsafe vehicle and another high priced bill to pay.
We own a 2004 ford f350. The fuel injection control module failed due to a short. I found the recall (05v270000) that applies to this type of failure, but when I checked with ford, they said it doesn't apply to our truck. Symptoms and year match, so why not my truck? $1,500.00 later I'm still confused. Truck shows up on a recall for a particular problem, doesn't apply to my truck? Huh? Merry christmas I guess huh? At any rate I see this as me the consumer getting ripped off, and would like to get my money back. Thank you for your consideration.
