Consumer Description

I HAVE A WELL MAINTAINED TRUCK WITH AV10 ENGINE. I DROVE THE TRUCK HOME AND PARKED IT. THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE TRUCK THE CRANKSHAFT AND TWO RODS BROKE. I USE THIS TRUCK WITH A CAMPER. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CAMPER ON, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE RESULTED. I CANNOT EVEN GET ANYONE TO TELL ME WHY THIS HAPPENED TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I TALKED TO FORD IN DETROIT AND TO A DEALER WHO SERVICES THE CAR. THE ENGINE ONLY HAD 75000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY CASE I HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO V10 ENGINES. I THINK THE QUESTION OF WHY THIS HAPPENED IS REASONABLE AND YET I CANNOT GET AN ANSWER. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU. *NM
