1 Other Fuel Type Engine Turbo-charger problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2006

2005 Ford super duty diesel 6. 0 was unable to reregister my vehicle with the California department of motor vehicles, unless I returned my vehicle to the dealer to have a recall/flash memory re flashed. I had no choice but to do this, otherwise the dmv would not renew by registration. Dealer stated Ford truck did not pass California emissions standards. Issue. Fuel economy fell drastically, and power/torque not like before "upgrade" mandated to my truck. Since that time, the turbo charger has failed, and unit needs to go in for repair. I think with this reflash, I did not get what I paid for with the recall requirement being done. Truck does not have the power and torque as advertised since it failed California smog requirements on a vehicle that does not require smog testing. Dealer states Ford failed "random" emission standards test of a unit picked in the field for testing, and all vehicles in same truck family had to be reflashed if serial number under the one they tested. I asked cal air resources board to look into this, they were interested, but 8 months later still no answer. I did not get what I paid for.
