I was on my way to the Grand Canyon last week with my 30' travel trailer and my truck left me stranded. Got the 'Stop Safely Now' message and everything quit. Kind of hard to stop safely when you are pulling a trailer over a mountain pass! Ford towed my truck and trailer to the nearest dealer and they said it was a bad high pressure fuel pump. Off comes the cab
After being in the shop for over a week, they called me to tell me that they got everything put back together and it was leaking fuel! Isn't there a way to pressurize the fuel system before you get the cab back on the truck? Seems like it would have saved them and me a lot of grief. They are telling me that they have to tear it all back down again. Cab coming off for the second time in as many weeks.
I'm wondering if anyone out there knows how long this repair should take? I'm going into week #2 now and it seems excessive. Also, anyone have any luck with getting Ford to pay for a rental car? I've had this car now for 1 1/2 weeks and can't return it up here because I got it from one of those local places across from the dealer. The dealer is 4 1/2 hours away and I really don't want to have to drive two cars down and back twice just to return the rental, but the bill is starting to add up.
By the way, I have a Job #1 2008 with 28K miles on it. Problems so far: 3 new injectors, replaced upper radiator hose, new radiator, new front hub assembly, persistent overfull oil (above the bulb on the dipstick everytime I take it in), and now this. Beginning to consider trading it in and going back to a gasser.
