I really don't know the extent of my problems. However, my truck has a rough idle and hesitation and has stalled a couple of times. I have changed grades of gasoline and brands of gasoline. I have also tried injector cleaner. I have had it to two different dealers. I have had it to commonwealth Ford in richmond ky 40475 twice and performance Ford where the truck was purchased once. Neither place found anything wrong. My truck is almost out of warranty and I am afraid that something major may be wrong and I don't want to be stuck with a huge repair bill. I have also contacted Ford customer assistance and recieved no help their either. I don't know what else to do. I would appreciate any information that you can provide. Thanks brian elsea.
Whenever consumer exits the vehicle, if ever touching any metal parts, it will then exert sparks of fire. Consumer says if standing close enough one can hear the sizzling. Consumer also has measured the distance of these sparks which he measured at three inches away. Consumer thought it would go away, but it is actually getting bigger. Consumer does not own truck, he's leasing it from Ford.
