Hello everyone,

If anyone is having a Stuck/Closed Fuel Injection problem then you are covered by Ford Extended Warranty. I received my letter that states it will cover any open or closed fuel injector for a total of 11 years or 120,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first.

Ford Motor Campany is providing addition coverage under Customer Satisfaction Program 07M08 to owners of certain 2005 Model Year F-150, Expedition, and Navigator Vehicles equipped with 5.4L 3v Engines.

Again, this will be covered under FORD Motor Company under
Customer Satisfaction Program 07M08. You should call Ford Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332 if you are having difficulties getting your vehicle repaired promptly and without charge. If you did not receive your letter you might want to ask them to send you one for your own records. This will update their records if you are the second owner of any of these models.

Also ask your local ford dealer if they are aware of this Program.

Good luck everyone.

 

Are you saying that IF I have a stuck injector my vehicle is automatically covered? Or do I have to purchase the Ford Extended Warranty to be covered?

 

Ford Motor Company will cover it under their Customer Satisfaction Program 07M08.

You DO NOT have to purchase their extended warranty.

 

Yes, but . . but . . . mine is a 2002, so I figured the 07M08 wouldn't cover mine, right?

 

Yes, you are correct. I do not think this program will help you.

You should call ford or check on the FTE TSB/Recall tab on top of the front page and see if they had any Recalls on the 2002 models.

If you do call, ask if they have any Customer Satisfaction Program for that year and model.

 

I'm bringing this topic up after so long because I just had Injectors #7 & 8 and the Cat. replaced under this Program. Let me explain what happened first.
I had just gotten back from a 120+ highway miles trip during the day. In the evening I attempted to take a 25 mile trip and the CEL began flashing. The truck was running fine [at 75350 miles] before this but would barely run and was very hard to start afterwards. The codes shown were P0308- 8 cylinder misfire; and P2198- O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Rich (Bank 2 Sensor 1).
To make a long story short, I brought the truck in and they said that the injectors caused the problem and it was covered under 07M08. BUT the plugs were all shot and would cost $540 + tax to change them. After I picked up the phone from when I fell off the chair, I told the Serv. Rep. to leave the plugs and I'll take care of them. The call ended.
An hour later, he called back and said that I needed to replace at least four (4) plugs [#1,2,6 & 7] to have the truck run right. This cost $182. Since he said it had to be done, I told him to go ahead.
When I picked up the truck, it ran as poorly as when I brought it in then within two (2) miles the CEL began flashing again! The code was, again, P0308- 8 cylinder misfiring!
I brought it back and discussed it with another Serv. Rep. I finally decided to replace the other four (4) plugs and it cost me an additional $217.

Does this sound right?

If injectors 7 & 8 went bad shouldn't plugs 7 & 8 be covered?
If the truck was running fine and the plugs were firing fine before the injectors went bad, would ALL the plugs be bad after Injectors 7 & 8 went?
The first Serv. Rep. said he was giving me a break at $540. This was because they were already under the hood and had some of the engine disassembled. This still seems high and $182 + $217 = $399. A bargain?!?
The worst part is that the truck still feels sluggish and the normal mileage of 9.5 to 10.5 mpg depending on the type of driving is down 1 to 1.5 mpg.

Any comments from anyone on any of this?

Thanks,

Later...

man, am i glad i searched this topic! my 05 EB is at the dealer as i type. CEL came on early this morning, followed by a hard shudder and flashing CEL. had the code pulled and it was "misfire #5 cylinder" and 02 sensor stuck open. my gut told me to change the COP and the plug. this didn't work, so to the dealer it went late this afternoon. i will be calling first thing in the morning to ask if they are aware of this extended warranty. the truck has 72k so it looks as if i'm good.

 

You may have to fight with them to cover the injector(s) under the Cat. Replacement Program.
Good Luck...

it was covered 100%. they even replaced the number 4 injector for some reason. i'm a satisfied ford owner once again. maybe moreso now, a 2010 Mustang GT convertible caught my wifes eye while picking up the 05 Expy. i'm going to let her get it when she wants, because i'm using it as leverage when i find my 2004 Mach 1 in grey/black.

 

Good for you! Renews my faith in Ford!
