problem #2

Jan 202009

F-250 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 16,000 miles
The contact owns a 2008 Ford F-250. While driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitates when the accelerator pedal is depressed. The failure has been occurring ever since the dealer changed the computer in the internal engine. The contact received a notice stating that it needed to be changed. The dealer stated that the vehicle was fine, although it has been in the repair shop approximately three times for this same issue. The failure is due to the computer module, which has caused the vehicle to have poor fuel mileage. The dealer acknowledges the failure and the contact believes it is a safety issue. The failure mileage was 16,000 and current mileage was 23,000. Updated 8/10/09 updated 08/13/09.
