This is a Ford f-150, 7700 series with a 5.4 engine.where is the recall on this truck.after reading all the problems,with the same thing. What a slap in the face by Ford. And yet no recall mandated by the feds. What a country we live in?”

“On 06/25/2014 I was driving my 2002 Ford f-250 super duty 7.3 litre diesel south on rt. 81 in syracuse ny. At exit 81 and in congested traffic when I lost all engine power. The transmission light came on but when I pressed the accelerator nothing happened. The engine was still running but the truck would not go. I was in the left lane intending to go south on 81 with a barrier on my left and no shoulder to escape traffic. I signaled and drifted over to the right and ended up stopping in an area between the rt 81 lane and an exit ramp. …”
