Consumer Description

A TSB has been made by ford for the wiring harness on the emission system that causes the Nox sensors to fail and can cause the unit to have a major reduction of power while moving. The TSB states water can potentially get in the harness connector that is mounted on the right outside part of the frame, and cause's corrosion which can cause a short and have the Nox sensor to throw a P2209 code and fail. I have experienced this while driving with a major loss of power. For having a TSB open and researching many other having the same issue, it should be an automatic fix by Ford. Not only is it an expensive fix for a flaw in design, but I was lucky to not get rear-ended at highway speeds at the time this happened to me with my kids in the truck. Speaking to the dealership they mentioned they are aware of the problem, because the truck is 2000 miles above the 8/80,000 miles emission factory warranty, they want to charge $1600 plus for a problem they are aware of.
