OTHER REPAIRS DONE TO THIS VEHICLE TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM WAS TO DRAIN THE FUEL TANK (ALGAE IN FUEL WAS THE EXCUSE-NO ALGAE) FUEL PUMP AND FILTER RAIL (NOT PROBLEM) TWO TURBOCHARGERS WERE REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE SOOTING (ONE WARRANTY ONE AT MY EXPENSE) EGR VALVES AND A CAM SENSOR (FORD KNOWS THE PROBLEMS EXIST BECAUSE FORD DISCOUNTINUED THE 6.0 LITRE MOTOR) THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER MY OWNERSHIP.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT WILL GO INTO A REDUCE POWER MODE OR SOMETIMES STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, FROM AROUND TOWN TO HIGHWAY DRIVING.

CALL FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND DEALER AND THEY TELL ME MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS BUT I AM NOT COVERED. DON'T WANT TO SPEND MORE MONEY AT DEALER IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING AND HOW TO FIX IT. *TR
