Shameful treatment of a lifelong customer to save face for a crooked Ford dealership...the Blue Koolaid Crowd will claim "it's not Ford, it's the crooked dealership"...bull puckey...Ford World HQ called me to personally deny the coverage...
Shame on Ford...

It's a Bosch problem, all vehicles with a Bosch CP4.1 for an inline 4 or CP4.2 for a V-6 or V-8 engine, VW, Audi, Ford, Chevy, GMC, they all have failed catastrophically, grenading the whole fuel system, and everything that the fuel touches. Bosch failed to do failure analysis on this pump model. Quite convenient how much money they make in parts on a failure, it's obscene. Of course, Ford too, profits on this failed venture, huge mark up on all the fuel injection and fuel system parts ruined.
At 35000 miles I don't understand why it wouldn't be covered by Ford, regardless of whether Bosch was also at fault. This also isn't the first horror story I've heard about Ford warranties recently and it does give me pause.
