Consumer Description

PURCHASED 2003 F-250 SD WITH 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE IN JUNE 2003. TO DATE, VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO FORD SERVICE SIX (6) TIMES -- ALL RELATED TO THE ENGINE. THE FIRST TIME, WE WERE TRAVELLING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN TRUCK HESITATED AND DIED. WE WERE UNABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK AND HAD TO COAST TO NEXT EXIT AND INTO A SERVICE STATION. WE WERE TOLD THE PCM (POWER CONTROL MODULE - BRAINS OF THE ENGINE) FAILED. SINCE THEN, THE TRUCK'S SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAS COME ON AND EACH TIME FORD SERVICE ATTRIBUTES THE PROBLEM TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE ENGINE - GO FIGURE. THIS HAS ALL TAKEN PLACE BEFORE EVEN HAVING THE TRUCK FOR ONE YEAR!!
