The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-450 super duty. The contact stated while driving 60 mph and towing uphill, the vehicle began to stall and independently decelerated to 30 mph. The contact was barely able to maintain control of the vehicle. The dealer performed a diagnostic test which discovered a faulty fuel injector that needed replacing. The dealer replaced the faulty fuel injector and after the repairs the contact stated that seven more fuel injectors malfunctioned. The contact called the manufacturer regarding NHTSA campaign id number: 05v270000 (electrical system:wiring) but was advised hat his VIN was not included in the recall. The contact stated the manufacturer should extend the recalls because there were numerous complaints online regarding the defective fuel injectors. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 130,000.
The fuel injector controls went out at less than 15,000 miles. After that engine always ran hot. Engine buned up at less than 60,000 miles. They put a new one in and now the turbo is not operating right, truck will only pull a load at 50 mph. All of the events listed here happened before the truck was one year old! because of all of these faults I have missed about 2 months of work waiting on them to get it fixed. I feed my family with my truck, if it doesn't work they don't eat.
