| This is very disappointing to have to experience so soon with a brand new truck. the location of this wiring harness is in an area that unless you have side steps and maybe even then, is not protected. even then the way the wiring harness comes out from within the wheel wall makes no sense. i'm attaching a few pictures so you can see what occurred. luckily, someone saw the wire dragging and told me before it was too late. i put up the harness and taped it to hold it up. this could have had a horrible outcome had the wires continued to shred or make contact with one another. | |||

| From a dead stop i excelerated to turn into her driveway the engine hesitated and stumbled it sounded like you had thrown a handful of marbles inside the intake the engine made a funny noise then died after getting it restarted the check engine light came on upon returning the vehicle to the dealership i found out it had melted the intake manifold sensors and part of the throttle body away ford has no idea what caused this the truck is also been plagued with electrical problems. apparently it came real close to an engine fire the truck is still broke down at the dealership since august 5, 2011. | |||
