NHTSA Complaint #10369418 — 2005 FORD EXCURSION

THE FICM IN MY DIESEL 6.0 IS BAD. FORD CLAIMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES AFFECTED BY THEIR RECALL ON THIS ITEM. HOWEVER, THE 6.0 ENGINE WAS NOT A GOOD ENGINE IT CAUSED FORD A LOT OF MONEY IN REPAIRS BECAUSE OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY ISSUE IS IF FORD KNOWS THE FICM IS BAD IN THESE ENGINES WHY DO THEY NOT REPLACE THEM AND ADD THEM TO THE CURRENT RECALL. I HAVE THE 200,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MY ORIGINAL 100,000 WARRANTY JUST ENDED ABOUT 2000 MILES AGO. UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY THE REPLACEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BUT UNDER THE EXTENDED 200,000 WARRANTY IT IS NOT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS JUST A PAPER PUSH TYPE COVER UP. 1. FORD KNOWS THIS ENGINE WAS NOT AS GOOD AS THEIR 7.3 ENGINE B/C THEY IMMEDIATELY STARTED PRODUCING THE 6.4 ENGINE TO REPLACE THE 6.0 2. FORD KNOWS THE FICM IS BAD IN THESES ENGINES AND IT HAS HAD TO REPLACE MANY OF THEM BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM 3. IF THEY ADMITTEDLY KNOW THE ENGINE WAS CRAPPY. AND HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FICM WHY WILL THEY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PAYING FOR A REPAIR ON ANY VEHICLE IF I KNEW IT WAS FROM WEAR AND TEAR. BUT THIS IS DUE TO FAULTY MANUFATURNING FORD SAYS QUALITY IS JOB 1... THIS IS NOT A QUALITY ENGINE AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE PENALIZED BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN FORDS AND THIS IS MY 4TH DIESEL ENGINE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THEM BUT THEY WERE ALL 7.3 DIESELS. HOW CAN I GET MY TRUCK ADDED TO THE RECALL WITH THE FAULTY FICM TO GET IT REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP? *TR
