problem #3

F-250 4WD 8-cyl Diesel

  • 95,000 miles
Rust out of oil pan, 2002 Ford F250 diesel causing major oil leakage onto exhaust. Ford indicated this is a cosmetic problem but issued a service bulletin to dealers. Vehicle has been serviced by dealer since new. Ford indicates there is not a problem as it is cosmetic. It cost over $1400 to fix this cosmetic problem which resulted in totally oil covered exhaust system. Repair was not done by dealer that indicated the problem was a pan gasket. A second opinion showed a large hole in the pan from rusting. Could have been a major fire.
