Consumer Description

THE WIRES SUPPLYING POWER TO THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP FRAYED. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE WIRES NOT BEING PROPERLY PROTECTED BY FORD (ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP). ONCE THE SHORT IN THE WIRE OCCURRED, MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING 65 MPH AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT SINCE MY TRUCK WAS SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *TR
