Nhtsa campaign id number 05v270000 NHTSA action number ea05003.

NHTSA complaint #10364382, filed 2010-11, 67,000 miles“My 2004 Ford f250 superduty truck ran very rough and stalled in my front yard; and would not crank again. On october 5 2009, I had purchased it pre-owned from dealer, william mizell Ford, on conditions and that they agreed to provide a carfax report.
