For several years, we have had exhaust gases going into our truck cab. We do not drive the truck due to this reason. One year ago, we took the truck to diesel specialists here in las vegas. They said that there was a problem with the manifold. They tried to fix it and it was good for about a week until it started to force exhaust gases back into the cab of the truck. I understand that there is a large recall of Ford vehicles doing the same issue. It appears that Ford is still making vehicles with faulty equipment on them. We would have taken our truck back to the dealer but we do not have a warranty.

On December 7 2003, our 2003 Ford 350 truck while driving down the road at 55 miles an hour, pulled sharply to the left causing us to spin out of control. We hit a ditch on the left shoulder of the road, causing the truck to flip over onto the right side. We ended up in the middle of almond trees. We had our 1 year old granddaughter with us. We've informed Ford it was a mechanical problem, but as yet all they've done is start the body work. We would like to know what caused the truck to go out of control. We feel lucky that we weren't killed or that we didn't cause the death of another family. What worries us is what about the next time, will we all be so lucky.
