I am so disappointed in purchasing this Ford truck....I have had this vehicle for 5 years and it has been in the shop on several occasions for the same reason...egr valve gets stuck and I'm stuck on side the highway....I cannot trust this vehicle to get me to the corner store let alone a long distance trip. Although I loved my truck...the cost of these repairs have just been astronomical, not to mention the inconvenience of constant towing and days spent in the Ford service department. I've done some research on this problem and found that Ford company is more than aware of the problems with the 6.0-liter diesel engines and has done little to nothing to help its consumers. My husband and I loved Ford trucks, but this will certainly be the last time I purchase anything from this company or its brands. In fact, it is in the shop again!!!!! as I type this complaint.

Fuel leaking from the front end of the vehicle while parked. I noticed it one day and immediately stopped running it. I called the dealer to take it in, "($200), he said." This not including the costs to fix it.
