[XXX] who performs automotive work out of his residence [XXX] and [XXX] of [XXX] have worked on this vehicle to spite the customer and to gouge the customer in unnecessary fraudulent repairs. They have deliberately set this vehicle up to fail with the braking system, the 6.0 engine being rebuilt to no avail, and constant driving problems such as pulling to the right and the left when brakes applied, constant overheating, constant oil temperature overheating, shuttering at highway speed, transmission failure, air conditioning failure, coolant system failure, electrical system failure, and every system that they have repaired, continues to fail. They specifically performed work on the electrical wiring and truck keeps blowing fuses. They performed work on the transmission and the transmission failed shortly after. They performed work on the engine and deleted illegally all the emissions EGR pollutant controls. They installed faulty wiring for the electric trailer brake controls and the electronic speed controls. They tampered with the air conditioning system causing the compressor to blow out, send metal through the a/c lines, and the belt stopped turning causing the serpentine belt to break, tear the fan shroud apart and shred. They also installed a trailer brake controller that was aftermarket and it caused brake loss and intermittent failure with the service brake system and speed control. Domingo also tuned the computer to make the truck output 550 horsepower which caused the new engine to fail prematurely and the transmission to fail as well.

[XXX], [XXX] approx age 40 lives and works at [XXX].[XXX] can also control the computers to cancel out and delete the use of catalytic converters, delete the use of DEF intake, delete the use of DPF particulate filters, and not react to controls such as manual braking or acceleration because the computer is controlling when and not the driver. [XXX] strictly states that he cannot have any emissions controls such as EGR, DEF, DPF, catalyst, or any pollutant controls. [XXX] intentionally set it up to have flaws and be dangerous for one reason: to get the customer to keep returning again and again with vehicle problems, wiring electrical problems, performance problems, overheating problems, and never ending engine problems not to mention transmission problems because the transmission could not handle the increased output of the engine. The hydroboost and ABS module and master cylinder that controls the brakes can be easily rigged so that when the driver stomps on the brakes, there is no braking action whatsoever for a 3-5 second delay before skidding the tires and locking the brakes. [XXX] altered the hydroboost and ABS module and master cylinder and the electronic controls to the braking system. [XXX] [XXX] partner admitted the hydrobooster and master cylinder was the problem because he admitted what [XXX] did as sabotage to the customer’s truck. [XXX] deletes the DPF and DEF and the electronics rewiring the truck. [XXX] has a pattern of keeping customers vehicles for excessively long periods of time: 42 days to change batteries, change fuel pump change PCM fusebox and rewire truck. [XXX] has removed the all the catalytic converters and he has removed all the EGR and emissions pollutant controls on [XXX]. [XXX] has sabotaged this truck’s braking system, electrical systems, fuse box wiring, electronic braking wiring, accelerator electronic control.

Corrupted v.I.n calibration in PCM causing a.b.s module to lock front brakes and not fully release. 2 front ABS sensors read 14% different speed from rear causing ABS to sense an issue when there is not an actual mechanical issue. When a.b.s tries to slow front wheels it does not fully release front wheels causing brakes to overheat to the point of causing brake fire. I have worked with ford dealership trying to resolve this issue but they cannot come up with a solution.

Radiator failed at 37,500 miles due to leaking. Engine overheated. This is a common problem with this particular vehicle and ford is aware, as they extended the warranty on the 2008 (same model radiator) and have since changed the design on the latest model. They will not cover this item under the 100k mile powertrain warranty, and will not extend the warranty on a common failure item. Failure of the radiator can not only cause engine damage but can be a safety concern if engine self destructs while driving due to overheating.

2011 f350 with 6.7l diesel. Traveling at 60 MPH and light comes on to slow down. I approach intersection at 4 lane and engine shuts off in middle of intersection and will not restart. My mechanic found a faulty egt exhaust temperature sensor and I read in manual that truck is subsequently programmed to shut off below 3 MPH if overheated condition exists. The automatic shut off is a dangerous feature, as in my case stranded me in the middle of an intersection. Had this happened when I was on the interstate it would have caused a collision. I informed ford of this incident and there only response was to take it to the dealer.

Customer satisfaction program 08b06 was issued by ford in december 2008. This notice expired in june 30, 2009. I recently purchased the vehicle within the last year. The same issue has developed that was identified in the above bulletin. The previous owner did not get the service performed and now ford will not honor the bulletin. This issue should be a recall issue or the ford customer satisfaction bulletin should be reopened or recreated. This is with regards to engine coolant leak and a known deficiency within the cooling system.
