2005 FORD F-250 SD Electrical Systemwiring Problems

IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD CRANK MY TRUCK AND ONCE IT WAS STARTED IT SMOKED BADLY BUT DID EVENTUALLY CLEAR UP.

I RESEARCHED THE RECALL LIST AND CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MOBILE, AL BASED ON THE RECALL LIST TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED; GAVE THEM MY VIN AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPAIR THE MODULE FOR $900.00 HOWEVER THE NHTSA ID # 05V270000 SAYS THERE IS A RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. *TR

IT HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES DUE TO FALTERING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE NHTSA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE (05V270000) WHICH FORD ACKNOWLEDGES. FORD HOWEVER REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIRS FOR THIS BECAUSE MY VIN IS OUTSIDE OF THE VIN SPECIFIC RECALL. EVEN THOUGHT THIS RECALL EFFECTS MY VEHICLE'S MODEL YEAR AND TROUBLE CODE. *TR

FICM HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER MANY REPAIRS TO MY F250 FORD PICK UP 6.0 DIESEL NHTSA#05V270000 RECALL MY TRUCK BROKE DOWN ON THE FREEWAY I PAID $1,115.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY PROBLEM ALL THOUGH MY TRUCK HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IN SEPT. 2005 I LEASED A F250 AND SINCE IT HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. EXHAUST PROBLEMS (3 TIMES FOR THAT) INJECTOR FAILED, MANY LITTLE BUGS THAT THE DEALER CANT FIX. ON 6-24-06 ON I-94 DOING A 65-68 MPH, THE ENGINE HESITATES FOR A SECOND THEN SUDDENLY THE WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I LOST CONTROL, SKIDDING ALMOST HITTING 3 OTHER CARS AND THE WALL ON THE SHOULDER. FINALLY AFTER STEERING TO THE SHOULDER - STOPPED AND BASICALLY HAD A PANIC ATTACK, SAW MY LIFE FLASH BEFORE MY EYES. SAT FOR A COUPLE MINUTES THEN GOT OUT TO LOOK AT THE WHEELS AND UNDER THE TRUCK FOR ANY CLUES AS TO WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. I START UP AND STROLL ALONG THE SHOULDER TO THE NEAREST EXIT THE TOW / HAUL LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF. DRIVE ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY ROAD...

I TAKE MY TRUCK TO DEALER: SALINAS VALLEY FORD WITH ADDRESS ON 1100 AUTO CENTER CIR SALINAS ,CA FOR THE RECALL POSTED ON YOUR AD WITH # 05V270000 AND DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER DON'T SHOW ANY RECALL OR JOB ABOUT THIS AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT RECALL POSTED ON WEB PAGES NOT ALWAYS ARE TRUE. SO WHO'S IS TELLING THE TRUTH DEALER OR NHTSA? *JB
