Consumer Description

FORD 6.0 DIESEL ENGINES HAVE ISSUES IN RESPECT TO THE SEALS ON THE OIL PUMPS FOR THE INJECTION SYSTEM. IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF IF THE SEALS WILL FAIL, IT'S WHEN. WHEN THE SEALS FAIL, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I HAVE TWO (2) VEHICLES FAIL IN TRAFFIC CAUSING THE DRIVERS TO ATTEMPT TO EXIT THE ROADWAY WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE "O-RING" SEALS USED THROUGH-OUT THE INJECTION SYSTEM. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE THE OLD PARTS AVAILABLE, BUT WITH APPROXIMATELY TEN OF THESE VEHICLES IN OUR FLEET, I'M SURE IT WON'T TAKE LONG BEFORE ANOTHER ONE FAILS. THIS EFFECTS ALL 6.0 FORD DIESEL MOTORS IN ALL MODEL VEHICLES FROM 2004-2008. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS MOTOR. AS MENTIONED, IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF IF THE ENGINE WILL FAIL, BUT WHEN. *TR
