Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A NEW F250 SD 6.7L IN 2016. IT HAS 53,000M ON IT. JAN 2019 REDUCTANT HEATER FAILED, FORD WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. FORTUNATELY MY EXT WARRANTY DID AFTER $100 DEDUCTABLE. FEB 2019 MY TRUCK WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS IT GAVE THE DASH WARNING : CHIMING SOUND, NO OIL PRESSURE, HIGH TEMP, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, AIR BAG, BATTERY, AND AFTER STOPPING NOTHING WAS OVERHEATING, AND OIL WAS AT PROPER LEVEL IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT LOCKED THE STARTING SYSTEM OUT. TOWED TO SHOP, WAITED 6 HRS THEN SHOP SAID IT WAS FROM SUSPECTED CORRODED BCM CONNECTOR. THE SHOP TURNED THAT IN TO MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY DECLINED THE CLAIM DUE TO CORROSION. FORD HAS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT HAPPENING BUT REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT. $1000 REPAIR BILL+ $130.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. THEY ARE NOT EVEN SURE IT WAS CORROSION, BUT SUSPECTS THE BCM CORRODED CONNECTOR. THEY RESET THE CODES, TEST DROVE IT AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD PRODUCT AGAIN.
