What you did was to tell a guy that payed ______ thousand dollars for a truck that he was an idiot Prove it. Quote me. Unlike you I don't need to resort to name calling.for continuing to own the thing after the warranty expired, when the reality is that he had already dumped all that money into the purchase of that truck and having a few things replaced under warranty was not indicative of continuing non-stop bs AT THAT TIME. I suppose replacing head gaskets, new heads, turbo, and injectors all under 100k is normal, not indicative of a problem... You fail to realize that NOW it is painfully obvious that a 6oh is a pos. THEN... it wasn't. I maintain that it was obvious. There should not have been that many major repairs under warranty. But there was. THEN.... you had all your thousands of dollars gone, vs a resale value that would not lead a person to decide to dump a truck they had no reason to believe would continue to plague them till the day they died... So there are multiple problems within the first few years of the trucks life. What makes any reasonable person believe the that vehicle will some how become more reliable as it gets older?
YES!!! SCORE.... you ARE that stupid, lol.
Btw, it was a trifecta in that....I stand corrected. Though, I must note that your post addressing me only really makes point 1 and 3 below. However, you did make it clear that you think I am an idiot, if that is your third point.
1. You gave people the business about accountability, while simultaneously shunning the lawsuit, the sole purpose of which is to HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE...Are you really so naive to believe that this law suit is to hold Ford accountable. How will it do so? Will it make Ford change how it does business or will it make them discontinue the 6.0... oh wait... they already did. Will it benefit, in any significant way, those who dealt with the new 6.0s? I think not.
2. You gave people the business about continuing to own a 6oh after the warranty period at a time when we as consumers DID NOT KNOW yet that the 6oh was an epic fail...Again, if a new vehicles has multiple problems within the first few years of its existence, what makes you think it will magically become a reliable vehicle after the warranty expires?
3. You yourself STILL OWN ONE out of warranty!!! Correction, I purchased one out of warranty, knowing the issues and accepting them. Again if you actually read my posts instead of blindly attacking everyone who doesn't 100% agree with your point of view, you would have known that.
I did not break that down for you, but for non-idiots to ensure your stupidity doesn't taint anyone else. I'm sure that will all elude you yet again.
And what you don't GET..... is that when something is REPAIRED under warranty, you, as a logical person.... make the assumption that whatever failed was rectified, and should be okay now.Really, for the third time, when a vehicle has multiple serious repairs done within the first few years of its existence, what reasonable person is to assume that it will become more reliable as it gets older?
Unfortunately, with the 6oh, Ford, due to their having to drag Navistar, kicking and screaming behind them, was not able to actually FIX any of the problems the 6oh was having. So your warranty "repairs", did nothing to actually make the truck right, leaving the consumer up sh*t creek without a paddle after the warranty expired.Really, what more is to be done than to replace the broken part with brand new. An injector fails, it is replaced with a new one. The turbo fails, it is replaced with a new one. Something tells me, the only way that yo would be satisfied with Ford's repair to any 6.0 would be to remove and replace with the mighty 7.3
It's like a guy calls with a roof leak after you installed his roof. When you get up there you see that the roof can never be made to last because say the caulking is exposed to direct UV, or there's a penetration that cannot be sealed as installed, or anything.... but seeing that the warranty period is about to expire, you gob some silicone or polyurethane over the problem and a year later it's hemorrhaging again... but hey.... not your problem anymore. Interesting analogy, but I feel this would be more akin to if your headgasket was leaking and the dealer just threw some stop leak in there to get you past your warranty, not removing and replacing the Heads, headgaskets and headbolts (or even head studs if you supplied them)
See how that works? That's fraudulent, and it is EXACTLY the type of ethics that you started off talking about being the problem with this country, but then turned right around and ridiculedreally? Quote me. I prefer to leave the ridiculing to you. others for trying to enforce... Your example is fraudulent, I agree. However, like I said, it is not really an illustration of what really happens. I think Ford has been held responsible, by the consumer. Warranty work cost them millions, diesel sales suffered, they had a nasty split with Navistar. And, they deserved all of it. I do not see this as further punishment, it is just an example of the entitlement attitude that is so prevalent. Ford made a crappy motor, they limped it along through the warranty. Now Ford owes me money because I decided to keep it after they were no longer required to keep limping it along.
Lastly, this suit is not directed toward people purchasing the vehicle AFTER the warranty was up, but those who went and bought a truck and later realized it was a pile of crap that had been bandaided together long enough to get them out the door until the warranty expired.
Have a good one.
