Ford F-150 Electrical System Safety Report | June 22, 2013
Reported on June 22, 2013
| THIS IS THE 5TH INCIDENT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT WORST NOW. I HAD THIS TRUCK AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY JUNE 17,2013. THEY SAID IT WILL BE HARD TO DIAGNOSIS WITHOUT A FAULT CODE. HOW IS IT THEY CAN TELL ME HOW FAST I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR THE PAST MONTH, BUT THE INBOARD COMPUTER CANNOT TELL FORD TECHNICIANS WHAT IS WRONG.THE ENGINE CUT OFF AGAIN FOR THE 5TH TIME, BUT THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT START. THE INSTRUMENT SHOWED 2 ICON'S THIS TIME, A ( WRENCH AND CHECK OIL ), I'M SORRY BUT THE WRENCH INDICATES I BELIEVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH A REAR END ON A 4 X 4 TRUCK, SORRY THIS IS ONLY A 2 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. I TRIED THE ( 2 ) RECOMMENDATION IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOK AND WHEN TURNED THE IGNITION TO START IT ONLY TRIED FOR LESS THAN 3 SECONDS, THEN THE POWER TO THE IGNITION WENT BLANK. I TRIED FOR 30 MINUTES, THEN CALLED FORD ROAD SIDE ASSISTANT FOR A TOW TRUCK, WHICH WAS DISPATCHED WITHIN A HOUR. I HAD ALREADY CALLED FORD FRIDAY JUNE 21,2013 FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR # 3 & 4 WITH THE ENGINE CUTTING OFF. I THEN CALLED SATURDAY MORNING AND ASKING THEN FOR A BETTER APPOINTMENT, THEY GAVE ME ONE FOR MONDAY 6-23,2013 INSTEAD OF TUESDAY 6-24-2013.I BADLY NEED TRANSPORTATION THIS NEXT WEEK, I'M GOING TO ASK FORD FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE THIS NEXT COMING FRIDAY JUNE 28,2013, I AM A DISABLED SENIOR VETERAN AND HAVING HIP INJECTIONS NEXT FRIDAY OUT OF TOWN AT THE VETERANS HOSPITAL AND NEED A CARE GIVER,SINCE I WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE AFTER THE PROCEDURE.FORD THIS IS BEGINNING TO BE A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION WHEN DRIVING AND PROBABLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS VERY SOON. LETS GET THE PROBLEM FIXED OR ORDER ME A NEW TRUCK BECAUSE OF NORTH CAROLINA LEMON LAW. *TR | |
