| I received a recall in october 2009 for my ford f-250 pick up (ford recall 05s28) i took the vehicle in for repair and was told that the defective part (speed control deactivation switch) caused brake fluid to leak into the wiring harness and fuse panel damaging both to the point they need to be replaced. i was told that ford would only replace the bad part and not the damage it caused. ford repair tech told me defective part caused damage described above and after dealing with several different people from ford and customer service they still refuse to fix the damage estimated at over $2000. i filed complaint with bbb but they stated this item could not be covered by them as the vehicle is over 3 years old. i have been without the vehicle for over 2 months and can find no agency to help me. i tried several forms of recourse with ford to no avail. they state the recall was issued to long ago however the notice i received in october 2009 was the first i received on the matter. can you help me? *tr | |||

| Any range of rpm while driving & occasionally while idling my truck has stalled and engine dies. it has, so far, restarted quickly and i continue on my way. this occurs in heavy to moderate traffic and when the truck dies you lose power steering & power brakes. i have been told to replace my cps (cam position sensor) by a ford mechanic and i intend to do that today. my truck is not safe to drive in it's current condition of random stalling. *tr | |||
