2006 Ford Lcf 450 Series

THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO "JUMP START" THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TAKEN THE TRUCK TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THEY STATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER THE WARRANTY SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. JUST FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC THEY WERE CHARGING 575.00 SO I DECIDED TO TAKE TO AN OTHER MECHANIC SHOP I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS FORD DEALER. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS TRUCK IT HAS ONLY 32 THOUSAND MILEAGES.. I FOUND SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER TRUCKS SAME MODEL SAME YEAR. I STILL HAVE MY TRUCK IN THE MECHANIC THEY REPLACE THE STARTER AND THE ALTERNATOR. BUT THE FUEL PROBLEMS STILL THERE. I CALL THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO TAKE TO AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC. SO THEY CAN HELP ME FROM THERE. I AM GOING TO TAKE THERE TO SEE WHAT HAPPEN. *TR
