Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING : EXHAUST SYSTEM : MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE

RIO LINDA, CA

Consumer Complaint:
I PURCHASHED THE 6 LITER 2003 250 TRUCK IN MAY OF 2003, AND NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE EVER SINCE. IT HAS ALREADY HAD A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHICH WAS CAUSING POISONOUS FUMES TO ENTER THE CAB, THE DEALER FIXED IT AND SAID IT HAPPENS. WELL IT ONLY HAD 5,918 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT THIS NEW TRUCK SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE TAKING IT TO BE FIXED ALL THE TIME. WELL SINCE THAT DAY IN MAY THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR NO POWER, POOR GAS MILAGE, SURGING AND BUCKING WHILE IN THE TOW / HAUL FEATURE. AND ALL THEY DO IS RE-PROGRAM IT AND SAY THAT IS THE PROBLEM. WELL I DISAGREE AND I FEEL THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND IS A TIME BOMB WAITING TO HAPPEN. I FEEL THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD OR THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND STAND BEHIND THEIR SUPPOSED QUALITY AND MAKE THE CUSTOMERS HAPPY AND SAFE. HENRY FORD WOULD BE DISGUSTED IF HE WERE ALIVE TODAY,THAT WHOEVER IS THE CARELESS INDIVIDUALS IN CHARGE ARE ALLOWING THIS TRUCK TO REMAIN ON THE ROAD. DOES FORD NEED ANOTHER FIRESTONE ON THEIR HANDS BEFORE THEY SEE WHAT IS GOING ON . I SURE HOPE THAT SOMEONE DOESN'T LOSE A FAMILY MEMBER BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. I CAN SAY THAT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NEW FORD VEHICLE AGAIN PLEASE SOMEONE HELP US, BEFORE ITS TO LATE. THANK YOU. *AK
