Oil Leak - No Buyback - No Longer Ford Owner
I have posted here many times, and some regarding the problem with my 6.0 oil leaks. I have been a longtime Ford truck owner, since 1978, with 4 Ford Superduty Powerstrokes over the years: 1999, 2002, 2004, 2006. My last one, the 2006 CrewCab Lariat 4x4 started leaking oil, I noticed it on the driveway of my new house last April when the truck was about a year old with 13,000 miles. From the looks of the driveway, it had been leaking for a while, but I never had that problem with any of the others, so I wasn't looking for it. To make a long story short, in the last year, my truck has been in the shop 7 times, and out of service for 60 days. They have never been able to fix the problem. After all the help here, I told them the 2nd time it was the bed plate leaking. They didn't address that. After trip #5, I got involved with Ford Customer Care and requested a buyback. Told them I loved my Superduty's, but lost faith in this one. No satisfaction from FCC, other than telling me to take it back in. The last time, #7, they pulled the engine to fix a bed plate leak. Sorry, but it was too little to late for me. I got the truck back and immediately drove to another dealer and traded it off. No more Fords for me. I couldn't leave the diesel though, so I now own a Mercedes GL320CDI diesel SUV. Plenty of power from a V6 diesel, and great (25+) mpg. This has been a great forum over the years, with lots of people willing to assist and provide information. Just wanted to say thank you.
