FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
PULLING OUT ONTO HIGHWAY AND ENGINE LOSES POWER AND SOMETIMES STALLS. THIS CONDITION WAS OCCASIONAL BUT NOW IS CONSTANT. WHEN I PULL ONTO A ROADWAY AND IT STALLS, CARS HAVE TO BRAKE TO KEEP FROM CRASHING. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A MANUFACTURER/SPONSORED RECALL BUT WHEN I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE A RECALL LISTED. *TR

FICM ON MY 6.0 SUPER DUTY IS CAUSING RUNNING PROBLEMS THIS IS JUST ANOTHER IN A LONG LIST OF ISSUES FORD IS AWARE OF, IF THE TRUCK WAS TO STOP RUNNING DURING FREEWAY SPEEDS THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO MY FAMILY DUE TO LOSS OF BRAKING AND STEERING.
