Yes, Ricatic's experience still reverberates in my mind every time I think about new Fords as well. And there are several other stories and story tellers. The ones that stick in the mind most are the Saul of Tarsus turned Paul the Apostle type of about faces, where the ardent advocates of Ford diesels, who boasted of never having a problem, suddenly get a problem, and don't get any assistance, even when still under warranty. Hell hath no fury like a fanboi scorned.
All brands can occasionally have problems, and all corporations can occasionally demonstrate some resistance to honoring their warranty. But I've read more stories about Ford denying warranty on Ford diesel trucks, particularly with the 6.7L engine, and particularly the fuel system of that engine, than any other corporate entity denying warranty for any other brand of product.
I've purchased more Ford vehicles than any other brand, btw, and currently own seven Fords (some are business vehicles). So my observation above is not biased by a predilection toward, or preference for, a competing brand. It is simply a concern about how Ford is treating customers with CP4.x fuel system failures. I feel fortunate not to be one of them.
