I pretty much live, eat, work, play out of my truck and it has done nothing but fail me. I start at 4:30 every morning, home at 9 pm, 6 days a week and depend on my truck for everything. I believed in built ford tough, but ford has failed me when i needed it most. When its late ive put in a full day and i now have to walk a couple of miles to get phone reception it sinks in that the its not worth it anymore. Its funny how a long walk really sets things into perspective.
The check engine light comes on every 3,000 miles or less and its always a different problem.Build date is January, 2011 some people say that is enough said. But i wonder why has ford service let me down.
So the first check engine light came on after i had the truck for 1000 miles and it took ford service 3 days to diagnosis, change the oil and repair. All for a diesel fuel filter, and a oil change. Ive replaced the egt sensors, coolant pump and tank, def stuff non stop. Its always throwing codes for stuff and they have to reset the pcm. Now the tech says that the newest repair could be 5,000 to replace the left head assembly?
ive spent easily 15,000 on repairs and can't afford anymore between downtime, rental costs and the hassle of not having my tools where they belong when i need them and trying to fit all that in a little rental truck.
I have tried 5 different stealerships and every service manager and service adviser promises a quick turn around but 2 or 3 days for a oil change is unacceptable for a service vehicle. Let alone any major repair or problem and its been up to 2 weeks for service.
FORD IS DESTROYING MY REPUTATION AND MY BUSINESS.
I need a truck to tow my trailer, a rack to get lumber on site etc.
How many other people are having check engine lights problems, left on the side of the road with regen shaking? how long does it take you for a scheduled oil change? ( called 2 weeks in advance how the eff does it still take 3 days to change the oil?)
I could take it somewhere else but it had a warranty, now im over 100,000 miles and i have to sell this truck before it bankrupts me or makes me jump off the bridge. I don't have time to do the oil change myself. I rent a truck, throw the tools into the rental and back to work another 12 hours.
Saddest part is i love the way it looks, spent 12,000 on a tool boxes, rack, wheels, carli pintop leveling kit, has air bags i mean its built to tow my 14,000lb trailer and it does it so easily its hurts to sell. All my customers comment on my truck and how professional it looks but its so unreliable.
i don't know if anybody realizes the pain this is causing me. I drive a modest 25,000 miles a year and depend on a work vehicle to get supplies, my crew, debris out and everything else and i can't do that in a effing rental truck ford!!!!!!!!Its turning into anger, and i try not to get angry but get even. I will not back down, numerous Ford dealerships and service managers have disrespected the wrong person. (still don't know why im not allowed back at one dealership but i have money to spend at other places).Ford builds more trucks than anyone else and it shows with there ****y attitude that just one truck with some problems doesn't deserve the attention of our big company.
I would appreciate some type of response from any ford service before i peruse this further. Anybody with similar problems please let me know and I'm doing research as to what my options are thanks.
