NHTSA Complaint #10721001 — 2008 FORD F-350

GETTING ON FREEWAY AND TRYING TO REACH AND MAINTAIN POSTED SPEED LIMIT. VEHICLE STARTED SPUTTERING THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NOT SAFELY MAINTAIN MY SPEED SO I HAD TO PUT FLASHER ON AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. I QUICKLY FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO TO LIMP HOME MODE SO WITH MY FLASHERS ON I PROCEEDED TO HEAD HOME WHICH WAS 40 MILES AWAY. I INDEED LIMPED MY VEHICLE HOME AS I COULD NOT MAINTAIN ANY POSTED SPEED LIMIT AND CREATED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR OTHER DRIVERS AS THEY WERE TRYING TO PASS AND GET AROUND ME. AFTER MAKING IT HOME I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH A PUBLICATION DATE OF APRIL 27, 2011 TSB 11-4-22 6.4L LACKS POWER-DTC P0088. I PULLED MY ENGINE CODES AND I INDEED HAD THE P0088 CODE WHICH IS FUEL RAIL PRESSURE TOO HIGH. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THE GENTLEMAN PUT MY VIN# IN AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THAT KNOWN DEFECT FROM FORD. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAS ADMITTED TO THE KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT BY CREATING THE TSB WITH THE PUBLICATION DATE OF APRIL 27, 2011
