Not a maintenance issue.......
Huntindog said it best, not a GM vs. FORD rivalry. As consumers at the mercy of these HUGE CORP, we are the ones who lose!
THat's been my point all along. The consumer should not be on the hook for a $12K repair. On a $65K truck that just a few years old. No way , No how.
The manufacturers have to do a better job, particularly with this being a known issue.
I would agree as well, but like I said in my other post, BOSCH recommends that all six injectors be replace when only 2 are bad (supposedly) at $750.00 EACH. 10 grand for inj, DEF filters and labor on a '16 Freightliner---not covered by warranty. Only after some higher ups got involved did the price for the job get reduced. Now, on the other hand, stopped by local town hiway dep't as they have a few Western Star trucks w/ Detroit's. Spoke w/ the mechanic to advise him of what happened to me/us (company) and said he wasn't surprised. He used to work for Detroit and said that's the problem w/ common rail injection systems. If 1 or 2 inj go, they send **** thru the system thus ruining the others possibly so it's best to replace all inj. To tell you the truth, best explanation I heard/got. If this is the case, what's the best alternative?
My point is if the entire system has the potential to self destruct to the tune of $12K there is a major problem.
I really don't need to know all technical details the details.
I imagine if GM, Ford , Bosch or whomever had a little disclaimer in the paperwork that said: "A known issue is the fuel system is fragile and may self destruct within the next 5 years to the tune of a $12K out of pocket repair.
Would you still like to purchase truck?
That statement would resolve the entire issue for consumers.
