“The contact owns a 2008 Ford f350 super duty truck purchased new. He stated after having a regular oil change, he noticed a large oil spillage coming from under the vehicle. The dealer advised replacing the high pressure fuel pump. The repair caused the oil to leak worse. Within just under a year of the initial failure, the dealer replaced the high pressure fuel pump a second time. Several months later, the contact began to notice the oil leak again. The high pressure fuel pump was replaced a third time. …”
