Exclamation PCM bad

I took my F150 to the dealer yesterday for a 4x4 problem. The $100 diagnostic showed my PCM had gone bad which they said was a rare problem. They said the PCM cost $903. Has anyone else had this? THANKS, MH

It is a rare problem but it happens every once in a great while. $900 sounds awful steep. Going from memory the PCM only costs Ford something like $200 or so. I'd go to another dealer if I was in your situation. Yeah, they have to program it but jeez, that's outrageous.

Smile BJP thanks, you're right on

Here is my warranty:

Under the Emissions Defect Warranty for passenger cars and light duty
trucks (vehicles with a GVWR of 8,500 pounds or less), Ford Motor Company
also provides coverage, including labor and diagnosis, for 8 years or
80,000 miles (whichever occurs first) for these emissions parts:
• catalytic converter
• electronic emissions control unit (PCM)
• onboard emissions diagnostic device
• NVG module (Bi-fuel/CNG)

I will call them tomorrow!! MH
