FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
WE OWN A FLEET OF FORD DIESEL ENGINE TRUCKS WHICH CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE FUEL DELIVERY PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM IS ENGINE CUT-OFF AND SURGING AND HARD STARTING. FORD SAYS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND CHARGES US. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THE ONLY ONES. TOYOTA IS NOT THE ONLY COMPANY NOT DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM. THINK ONLY THE GOVERNMENT WILL MAKE THEM FIX IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
WE PURCHASED A FORD F550 6.0L DIESEL TRUCK NEW IN 2004 AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONES TO DRIVE IT AND HAVE DONE PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START FOR NO REASON ON APRIL 29, 2010 NECESSITATING IT BEING TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED A BAD FICM (FUEL INJECTION CONTROL MODULE) AND REPLACED IT. I HAVE FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM, CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V270000 ON 6/10/05. DUE TO THE LOW MILES AND PROPER CARE OF THIS VEHICLE I AM WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THAT RECALL. WE USE THIS IN OUR WORK AND HAD THE FICM GONE OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT WITH A LOAD OF CHIPS IT COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 F550 FORD TRUCK IN 2005 WITH 13,000 ORGINIAL MILES. I STATRTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT 40,000 MILES WHEN THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I HAVE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS: (1) THE LINER IN THE FUEL TANK SEPARATED FROM THE TANK AND WENT THROUGH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TANK, INJECTORS, AND INJECTOR PUMP. (2) THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW AND THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER. I PLAN ON REPAIRING THE GASKETS THIS WEEK. WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STOPS. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND WENT THROUGH THEIR ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THEY DID NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIRS. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD'S CUSTOMER COMPLAINT DIVISION AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME RESULTS. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL FORD MECHANICS AND THE ABOVE TWO ITEMS ARE ONGOING MAJOR PROBLEMS. I AM LOOKING FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRING THE 6.0 DIESEL ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS A SEVERE HIGHWAY SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. THANKS.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
I AM CONTACTING YOU TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING THE FUEL TANKS ON 450 AND F550 TRUCKS THAT WE OWN. I HAVE MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE THAT IS AND HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS. THE FUEL TANKS ARE DEGRADING FROM THE INSIDE, CAUSING FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE AND CREATING A HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT AS LARGE AS THESE VEHICLES ARE THEY CAN BE DISABLED IN TRAFFIC. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY VEHICLE COULD BE RENDERED DISABLED. HOWEVER THIS WOULD BE FOR A KNOWN CAUSE. FORD DEALERSHIPS ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS ARE MANY TANK REPAIR FACILITIES IN NEW ENGLAND. I UNDERSTAND THROUGH RESEARCH THESE TANKS HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE SINCE 1998. FORD IS TRYING TO SAY IT IS DUE TO BIO-DIESEL. IF YOU LOOKED INSIDE THE TANK, YOU WOULD SEE IT IS LIKE PAINT FLAKING OFF OF A WALL. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN DOING DAMAGE TO PUMPS AND INJECTORS CAUSING BREAKDOWNS. FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE IT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. *TR

ENGINE FAILED AND VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. THE CULPRIT WAS THE FORD FUEL TANK THAT HAD DELAMINATED. THE TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE COST: $2223.41. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A LOSS OF REVENUE AS THIS VEHICLE IS USED FOR PRODUCTION PURPOSES. FORD DENIED RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DEFECTS OF THEIR FUEL TANKS. WITH NO OTHER CHOICE, WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THESE VEHICLES ARE USED FOR COMMERCIAL USAGE DAILY. THIS IS ALSO A FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT HAS BEEN FORCED ONTO US UNFAIRLY. THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THESE FUEL TANKS. *TR
