Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I noticed a strong diesel smell while driving my 1999 Ford f350 pickup two weeks ago. Upon investigation I found diesel had sprayed on the top of the hot engine. I took the truck to a local shop; the mechanic told me, yeah, we see this all the time, usually on trucks of this age. It's the fuel drain valve behind the filter casing. I do not like the idea of any fuel spraying onto the top of a hot engine!”
NHTSA complaint #10370363, filed 2010-12, 116,953 miles“On novemebr 20, 2009 I took my Ford f350 to a dealer for recall work, cam sensor replacement 07s57. The dealer did not replace the sensor but visual checked it. I wrote a letter to Ford on november 30, 2009 explaining the problem and they assigned case number to my problem. On january 7, 2010 I wrote a second letter to Ford asking for a decision and have not received a response. All I want is a Ford guaranteed cam sensor installed in my truck per the recall notice.”
