Ford 6.0 Diesel Problem
Well I hear you brother, mine is a 2004 6.0L crew Cab Super duty,77,000miles,mostly hihgway, medium towing. 6 injectors replaced, 1-Turbo Charger( after recall to replace computer stuff or whatever, and deaker service rep, KNEW that failure was iminent after the recall as he had already done three others!, 1-exhaust tube,, 1-EGR,-1-lower radiator hose. I had to pay for that, even though dealer Rep and mecahnic said it was definitely related to injectors and turbo failure, ($450 output) On radiator hose keep close watch, the fabric protecting it from steering pump bolt slid down and :question: heat melted the hose. Well had enough of this, finally wrote to Ford HQ in Michigan, 3 page letter outlining the problems. Well finally got call back, said they know there are serious issues with the engine, but have not come up with a solution., advised me NOT to go over 100,00 miles or warranty would not be good, NO DUH! :8ball: , could not get straight answer from their rep, asked what happens if I am over 100K and you discover problem, well she says if it it not a safety recall, I would have to pay. Well I have taken the alternative, I have written to our state attorney Generals office, asking what can be done, since Ford acknowledges the problem but will not correct, can a Class action suit be filed?,
Dealer Rep said for the amount of money they have charged FMC for warranty repairs I could have had a new engine put in-TWICE! I will keep you updated if the AG office thinks it has merit, IU cannot afford attorney's fees, so maybe out consumer advocate can. I am looking for another vehicle, I would want the durability and long life of a diesel, but would have to do some heavy research before another diesel purchase, or sadly maybe even American made vehicle purchase, the Big three are killing themselves, any suggestion guys? Ladies?
