Consumer Description

WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY MERGING ONTO ANOTHER FREEWAY WHEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STALLED. THERE WERE NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART. WE HAD FOUR CHILDREN WITH US, THREE OF THEM SMALL AND IN CAR SEATS. WE HAD TO TRANSFER THE CHILDREN INTO A TOW TRUCK WITH MOVING TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES OF US. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT CAUSING MAJOR TRAUMA OR DEATH. FICM IS GOOD, WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, BUT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP. THIS 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY FORD. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED WITH PICK-UPS AND VANS, BUT NOT THE EXCURSION. *TR
