F-150 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 119,852 miles
While driving my 2001 F150 truck, the check engine light came on. I took my truck to the garage that does my auto work. They told me it was the egr pressure sensor. They replaced the sensor at a cost of $190. Later I found out that Ford had issued a service bulletin to have the sensor replaced and they sent letters to the owners to bring their trucks in to have the sensor replaced. Since I am the second owner of the truck I did not receive the letter and since I had 119,852 miles on the truck Ford would not fix it." Ford knew of the defect, why should I have to pay to have a defective sensor replaced".

F-150 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

While driving, the "service engine soon" light came on. I drove to the auto repair shop and it was determined it was the egr pressure sensor defect. I was told by the repair shop that he thought this might be a recall item on the Ford F150. I searched for recall notices on my truck and contacted the local Ford dealership. I was told that there was not a recall for the egr, but a technical service bulletin was issued and Ford sent out letters to have customers come in a have item replaced because of numerous complaints. My truck was ineligible because I now have over 72, 000 miles. Ford will not honor the tsb at no cost and the repairs will cost over $250. Why is their a mileage requirement for a mechanical defect that Ford has acknowledged?
