| The radiator is leaking were the side tanks are attached to the core and both the upper and lower radiator hoses are leaking. when i had the pickup in the dealership for service i was advised that there was upgraded radiator hoses available. the dealership recommended i replace them to prevent hose failure. this would be at my cost, but clearly are factory defects. when i had several different local mechanics give me estimates and asked what the problem was, and told them what year and model ford i had they all described the same leaks in the radiators and hoses. so there appears to be a defect with the hoses and radiators of these year and models of fords. i called my local dealership and they said these problems would not be corrected by ford at this time. the estimate for the repairs is $1116.46. i contacted fords customer service and brought these problems to their attention but was told that ford did not have any warranty or programs to resolve these defective items. it is my opinion that if any company or business provides defective workmanship that it should be resolved by them. apparently the auto repair shops and the dealerships are aware of the problems.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr | |||

| We are on our 4th engine at 67,000 miles. while we are driving, the truck will just shut down, start blowing out black and white smoke. we have no brakes, no steering and working in colorado it has happened while coming down mountains and hills. theyve replaced every egr sensor at least twice, exhaust systems, the motor 4 times, you name it. ford continues to fix the problem under warranty but refuses to take the truck back - one of these days we will not be so lucky and someone will get hurt or even killed when it shuts down the next time! this truck has been in the shop so far a total of 150 days since we purchased it in may of 2009. it is currently in the shop for it's 4th engine after being in the shop for a week to replace sensors and gaskets. ford doesn't see this as a problem. | |||
