Consumer Description

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED A 2008 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY PICK UP TRUCK WITH THE 6.4 DIESEL ENGINE IT HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. FOR NO REASON SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE AND A CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE POURS OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE SMOKE IS SO SEVERE IT WILL BLIND ANYONE BEHIND THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CASES WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE AND LOOSE ALL AVAILABLE POWER. THIS COULD BE A DRASTIC PROBLEM IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIME AND THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL FOR THE TRUCK TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN THEY ARE ALLOWING A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO TAKE PLACE. *TR
