While driving down the highway(45-55mph) vehicle dash lights, radio, windows all stop working. They come back on randomly. No change to little change when re-starting. Vehicle also loses power and the engine seems to pause and go, over and over like it's struggling. I've taken it to several Ford certified mechanics who are baffled.

I have a 40 ft toy hauler I pull with the F350, going up hill and all systems fail. But left on the side of the mountain rd I was traveling. A fuel rail is discoved gone bad, billows of white some prior to system shut down. $2800 repair. Two weeks later another mountain pass truck over heats causing system failure. Come to find out $10,000 dollars later in repairs alone not, talking hotel, rental car, and delay of trip for nine days. But the phil long Ford dealership new about the costly repairs and fails to inform custmor.. leading him too a total of $7300 in repairs. Total repairs $10,100. Thanks phil long Ford, Colorado springs, for not informing customers of the costly repairs but knowing they where there. Draging hard working americans though the dirt... great bunch of guys. Not...
