| 2004 ford f250 super duty egr valve & oil cooler at a cost of $2400.00 to have my truck fixed. there are allot of other complants posted but it looks like no one is doing anything to get after ford motors to recall this big expensive problem to consumers. its bad enough the trucks cost so much. ford is able to increase their profits by not recalling and fixing this expensive problem. i'm a disabled veteran and it took all my money for a month to get my truck back. i could not buy food or pay my bills because it went to getting my truck back with only 1/4 tank of fuel. so now i cannot drive anywhere until the dec 1 2011 when my next government check comes.please help | |||
