My truck transmission changes gears randomly while in motion. It is terrifying when it happens in traffic and the truck stalls and looses power then kicks back in with a loud noise. I stopped driving it since March of 2026.

Our whole family has been riding in this vehicle when the truck experienced the truck lag and turn off at highway speeds. Does…

This past year I experienced catastrophic failure with my Bosch, CP4 fuel pump in my 2017 Ford F250 with a 6.7 L diesel. Recalls have been published by Ford, but not beyond a 2018 vehicle.

This repair cost me approximately $13,000. I find it difficult to…
