SUMMARY:
2006 FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY DIESEL DUMP TRUCK. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN TO CROWLEY FORD IN PLAINVILLE CT. OVER 50 TIMES , YES THAT'S RIGHT I SAID 50. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TOWED IN NO LESS THAN 6 TIMES IN 4 YEARS. MANY TIMES LEAVING A CREW OF 5 STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY. FORD TECHNICIANS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. TRUCK WILL SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER OR JUST SHUT OFF. FORD HAS DENIED THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK AND MOTOR BUT THERE ARE MANY CONTRACTORS IN OUR AREA THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. RECENTLY THE TRUCK SAT AT CROWLEY FORD FROM MARCH 1 THROUGH THE END OF MARCH, THEIR TECH'S NOR FORDS TECH'S COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY ARE STILL DENYING THAT THE GAS TANK DELAMINATION HAS ANY BEARING ON THE SITUATION. COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH FORD AND THEIR LACK OF ATTENTION. I ASSUME ITS GOING TO TAKE A FATALITY OR TWO BEFORE THE PRESS PICKS UP ON THIS STORY AND FINALLY HOLDS FORD ACCOUNTABLE. IN THE MEAN TIME SMALL CONTRACTORS AND TRUCK OWNERS ARE TAKING IT IN THE WALLET BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US OUT HERE!!! *TR
