Electrical System problem #1

Diesel exhaust fluid system failed shutting down my vehicle while driving and I had to be towed to a Ford dealer. This is a safety issue and could have caused a major accident on the highway. I never got a recall notice about this major problem. Now I am told I would have to spend over $5000. 00 to get this problem fixed. Ford had gotten many complaints about this issue. They should pay to have this repair done. I only had this vehicle for a short time and paid over $59,000 for it. I tried to contact several Ford executives over two weeks ago and heard back from none.

Electrical System problem #2

We just had to pay an $800. 00+ bill for pinched wires under the cab of the truck caused by the manufacturer not properly routing the harness, therefore causing a dead short in the truck and causing the replacement of 4 batteries since June 2015. The service writer said this was done by Ford and not covered under warranty! because of the pinched wire the driver had to first step on the brake pedal then turn to key to start.
