I have an 04 with the 03 motor. Lots of problems, 2 turbo's, EGR cleaned several times, O rings replaced on it then finally the EGR replaced. EBP sensors twice, VGT solenoids twice, oil leak etc. Every time I pull my 5th. wheel across the country it breaks down. Stranded in Nevada and Utah twice!! I bought used from a private party so the Lemon Law is out but I can go after Ford for a breech of warranty ( advice from a lawyer friend) I have been in touch with Ford Customer Care and they want the truck at the dealer to be looked at one more time then they will make the decision on what to do. Anyone with experience with this I could use the advice so I'm not walking in blind. I love this truck and put alot of money into it.I don't want anything free just a reliable truck,but it keeps stranding my family on the side of the road, yeah it's always covered under warranty but that doesn't help me get my family off the highway. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!
Same problems with my 03. Bypassed BBB and got attorney. Demand letter sent to Ford and had offer in three weeks. Replace or buy back. Took buy back which included all years tags and out of pocket expenses like towing and RV parks.
Get an attorney. Ford will not move until you put their back to the wall. Read my previous post. Your buying it form a private party makes no difference. Been there- done that!
