DEFECTIVE PRIMARY RADIATOR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR YEARS, AND MILLIONS OF VEHICLES. THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS, AND EVEN LAW SUITS OVER THESE DEFECTIVE RADIATORS.

THE REDUCTANT HEATER AND SENSOR ASSEMBLY FAILED CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE AND THE REMOTE START TO BECOME DISABLED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS GENERALLY DRIVEN IN HIGH-TRAFFIC SITUATIONS AND THE DANGER WAS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO ENTER LIMP MODE THEREBY CAUSING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TRAFFIC HAZARD. BASED ON A FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BULLETIN (UPLOADED), WE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. THE REPAIR INVOICE HAS BEEN UPLOADED WITH PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING DATA REDACTED. THE ORIGINAL IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

FAULTY DEF FLUID TANK HEATER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO FORD DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT MY EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER ANY DEF PARTS! MY 2015 F-250 IS JUST SHY OF THE YEAR ON THE RECAP THEY CURRENTLY HAVE.
