NHTSA Complaint #10323208 — 2004 FORD F-350 SD

I HAVE A FORD F-350 WITH A 6.0 DIESEL ENGINE. THIS ENGINE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. WHICH CREATES A HAZARD FOR ALL WHO OWN ONE AND TO THE PUBLIC . THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE COMPLAINED TO YOU ABOUT THIS ENGINE. WHY AREN'T YOU PEOPLE DOING SOMETHING WITH FORD AND INTERNATIONAL. TWO TIMES MY TRUCK HAS DUMPED HALF THE OIL OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD. ONCE WHEN THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP BLEW A SEAL AND AGAIN WHEN THE OIL COOLER AND EGR COOLER BUSTED. IF THIS TRUCK IS DOING IT THEN ALL THE OTHER 6.0 DIESEL TRUCKS ON THE ROAD ARE TOO. IF YOU GOOGLE THE OIL COOLERS AND EGR COOLERS YOU WILL SEE JUST HOW BIG THE PROBLEM IS. IF THIS IS NOT A HAZARD THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. IF THEY SOLD SAY, 300,000 OF THESE TRUCKS A YEAR FROM 2003 TO 2007 , THAT'S 5 YEARS TIMES 300,000 TIMES 5 QUARTS (LESS THAN HALF, TRUCK HOLDS 15 QTS)5 X 300,000 X 5 = 7,500,000 QTS OF POSSIBLE OIL SPILLED OR 1,875,000 GALLONS OF OIL SPILLED IF THESE TRUCKS ONLY SPILL 5 QUARTS OVER THEIR LIFE TIME. MOST OF THE TRUCKS WILL DO IT MORE THAN ONCE. WHEN THE OIL COOLER BUSTS THE OIL GOES INTO THE RADIATOR AND OUT THE OVER FLOW INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. UPDATED 05/04/10.*JB
