Description of the problem | 1. I was driving down the road (snow and ice covered) and while making a left hand turn through an intersection my truck instantly died. When the truck died a lost power searing, brakes, and obviously acceleration. The entire intersection was blocked for 30-45 min. Due to an earlier snow storm, no tow trucks were available. 2. The failure happened once. When the failure happens, the driver looses engine, brake, and steering power. The cause of the problem is a faulty fuel pump control module. The part fails because it is mounted underneath the bed of the truck but was not made resistant to road salt corrosion. 3. Ford knows about this issue (and has a replacement corrosion resistant part) but the kit for this is in such high demand that it is back ordered until the middle of may. The dealer is telling me my truck is "fixed" but no one is able to prove i have the corrosion resistant part. There is documented communication between ford and the dealer about knowingly installing the old, defective part. |
