Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MP WHEN THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED AND LOST POWER. THIS HAPPENED ON 2 MORE OCCASIONS. ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET, AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CANNOT RISK INJURY, SO TOOK IT RIGHT TO A REPUTABLE LOCAL DIESEL MECHANIC. DIESEL MECHANIC STATES THAT ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM MUST BE REPLACED. FAULTY HI PRESSURE FUEL PUMP DISINTEGRATED AND SENT METAL THRU FUEL SYSTEM. THIS WILL COST $8000 TO FIX. WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR "BUG" FOR A NEW DESIGN. FORD WILL NOT REPLACE PARTS OR WARRANTY THIS. COMMON ON THIS MODEL, BUT DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD, AS THE TRUCK MAY OR MAY NOT STALL WHEN GIVING GAS. IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. *TR
