DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2000 AND 2001 FORD F-650. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS AN INTERNAL CAMPAIGN ON THE FUEL SYSTEM LIFT PUMP. THIS CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS INDICATED IN THE CAMPAIGN. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED THE VEHICLE CUT OFF AND STALLED.

THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER HELPED WITH THE REPAIR THE FIRST TIME. HE HAS NOT COVERED THE COST OF THE REPAIR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TIMES.
