ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
WE OWN A 2004 FORD F350. THE FUEL INJECTION CONTROL MODULE FAILED DUE TO A SHORT. I FOUND THE RECALL (05V270000) THAT APPLIES TO THIS TYPE OF FAILURE, BUT WHEN I CHECKED WITH FORD, THEY SAID IT DOESN'T APPLY TO OUR TRUCK. SYMPTOMS AND YEAR MATCH, SO WHY NOT MY TRUCK? $1,500.00 LATER I'M STILL CONFUSED. TRUCK SHOWS UP ON A RECALL FOR A PARTICULAR PROBLEM, DOESN'T APPLY TO MY TRUCK? HUH? MERRY CHRISTMAS I GUESS HUH? AT ANY RATE I SEE THIS AS ME THE CONSUMER GETTING RIPPED OFF, AND WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2004 FORD F-360 TRUCK WOULD "CUT OUT" AND TRY TO QUIT RUNNING WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL, FUEL FILTERS. HAD RECALLS DONE (GFR). PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN AND WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING A 16 FT. TRAILER WITH ONE HORSE LOADED, BEGAN TO EMIT WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. THE TRUCK APPARENTLY OVERHEATED BUT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DID NOT INDICATE SUCH. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY WERE 99% SURE IT WAS GFR AGAIN, BUT IT WAS NOT. THE PROBLEM IS MUCH BIGGER. APPARENTLY IT WILL COST $5-10,000 FOR REPAIRS. THE MILEAGE IS 104,000, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND I DID NOT PURCHASE ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I THEN HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO SAID HE COULD FIX THE TRUCK FOR A LOT LESS. BUT, HIS ESTIMATE WAS JUST AS COSTLY AS THE FIRST ESTIMATE. THE TRUCK REMAINS AT THE DEALER AS I REFUSE TO PAY THAT MUCH TO REPAIR. *TR
