I purchased my Ford f350 in July, 2003 from leo kaytes in warwick, new york and have had 4 fuel injectors go bad since then. I have a $35,000 truck loan and have only paid 10 months on this truck. I am a sole proprietor and have a family to support. Each time my truck goes into the dealership, I lose accounts as well as thousands of dollars. On 7/4/04 and 7/7/04, a Ford customer service representative and the general manager at leo kaytes Ford dealer in warwick, NY have acknowledged that Ford is having an ongoing problem with their fuel injectors in the 6. 0 liter engine. After many hours of research, I have learned that there was a first massive recall in April, 2003 for 66,720 trucks Ford sold with the 6. 0 liter diesel engine to replace the fuel injection control pressure sensor. Ive also learned there were nearly 500 buybacks of trucks with engines so badly flawed that they couldnt be fixed. Apparently, a batch of faulty fuel injectors leaked so much diesel fuel that fuel filled the crankcase, causing engines to seize. There were also glitches with the turbocharger and engine control software. Leo kaytes representatives have stated that the best approach is to replace all the fuel injectors but also told me that Ford motor corporation will not honor same under the warranty. My research has also revealed that many dealerships have replaced the engines for customers and that Ford has bought back trucks. My chief concerns are who will bear the financial liability for future faulty injectors once the warranty has expired, and the possibility that my engine could cease if careful and complete repairs to this engine have not been made as of this writing. To date, the dealership continues to make repairs as a band-aid fix and are not finding the source of what is causing these injectors to go bad. As a result, I anticipate future failures.
While driving vehicle stalled. Dealership indicated that this was due to a malfunction in the fuel injectors. The fuel injectors were replaced 8 times, and the egr valve was replaced twice.
