Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AT A 20MPH ROAD AND I MADE A LEFT TURN THEN ACCELERATED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK STALLED BUT KEPT GOING STRAIGHT FORWARD UNTIL IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. THANKFULLY I WAS HEADED TOWARDS THE SIDEWALK AND NOT TO INCOMING TRAFFIC OR I WOULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I CHECKED IT, IT CAME UP AS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. SO I TOOK THE GAS TANK DOWN AND REVISED IT BUT IT SEEMS TO BE IN NEW SHAPE WITH MAYBE A LITTLE PLAY IN THE SENSOR SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE BECAUSE I CANT RISK TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. ON TOP OF THAT I REPLACED THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE THAT WAS CORRODED DUE TO FORDS LACK OF PLACEMENT ON A FRAME. THANKFULLY I WASN'T INJURED OR FORD WOULD HAVE NEVER HEARD THE LAST OF ME. THESE NEW TRUCKS CANT BE TRUSTED ANYMORE WITH YOUR LIFE AND ALL THESE CHEAP MATERIAL PARTS. *TR
