In 2004 I purchased this vehicle brand new.

I have spent $15,135. 17 more for repairs that seem to be repetitive and very expensive. Based on the repair record I think that even you would say that there is something very wrong with this vehicle's engine. I have had this truck for eight years and have finally contacted Ford motor company only to learn that they are unable to assist with the cost of any repairs beyond the normal warranty provisions.
