Consumer Description

RE: FORD TRUCK 4X4 F350 DIESEL. THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT TO YOU IN ABOUT A YEAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS, JUST FAILURE OF THE ALTERNATOR. WE HAVE A 2002 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY DIESEL, CREW CAB, 7.3L ENGINE. TODAY, WE ARE INSTALLING THE 5TH OR 6TH (WE'VE STOPPED COUNTING, BUT HAVE RECORDS) ALTERNATOR!! THIS OCCURS AT LEAST EVERY YEAR, AND WE HAVE THE OLD ALTERNATOR NOW. THIS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS, EXPENSIVE, AND UNSAFE. IT WARRANTS A LOOK SEE BY YOU. OUR TRUCK ONLY HAS 88 THOUSAND (CAN'T SEE, THE ALTERNATOR IS OUT, BUT THIS IS APPROXIMATE) MILES. PLEASE, HELP! IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE WE WERE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGH SPEEDS, SOMEONE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED. *TR
