FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. THE CULPRIT WAS THE FORD FUEL TANK THAT HAD DELAMINATED. THE TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE COST: $1600.00. 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

OUR FORD LCF HAS HAD A CONTINUAL STALLING PROBLEM WHEN WE DRIVE OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. OUR VEHICLE IS NOW THREE YEARS OLD AND EVERYTIME WE GO OUT OF TOWN WE HAVE STALLING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE.

WE HAD ABOUT 3000 MILES SINCE THE LAST CHANGE. *TR

DISCOVERED MY F550 SUPERDUTY 6.0 DIESEL AT 94000 MILES WITH 8 MONTHS OVER ITS WARRANTY HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK COMING FROM BOTH SIDES OF ITS 6.0 LITER DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THESE FUMES WERE COMING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AT IDLE. AT THE SAME MILEAGE, DEALER DISCOVERED THAT ENGINE HAD OIL IN COOLANT AND THAT ITS ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE INJECTORS WERE MALFUNCTIONING ALONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND ITS REGULATOR. EXCESSIVE FUEL IN ENGINE, RUNNING VERY LEAN COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO CEASE WHILE DRIVING. DEALER ADVISED THAT OIL IN COOLANT IS COMMON FOR THESE ENGINES AND THAT THIS CAUSES A OTHER MALFUNCTIONS SUCH AS HEAD GASKETS TO GO. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE REPAIRED AT APPROX. $1172. THE OTHER ENGINE WORK WAS NOT REPAIRED AS OF YET DUE TO IT COSTING APPROX. $4240. THE HEAD GASKET WORK WOULD COST ANOTHER $6000. FORD SAID IT WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS BECAUSE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER. BBB COMPLAINT FILED AND IN SEARCH FOR CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT TO COVER REPAIRS ONLY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
THE DIESEL FUEL TANK HAD CORRODING AND SHOWING RUST ON THE INSIDE OF THE TANK. SEEMS LIKE A DELAMINATION PROBLEM. THE TRUCK IS STILL WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT FORD REFUSES TO COVER THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CONSIDER IT A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THEY BLAME THE DIESEL FUEL COMPANIES. FORD SAID THE TANKS WERE MANUFACTURED FOR THE DIESEL FUEL SPECIFICATIONS AT THAT TIME, NOT NOW. THE DELAMINATED MATERIAL IS THE LINING OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS ALSO COST TWO FUEL INJECTORS TO FAIL. THE TRUCK STALLED AND WOULD NOT RUN OR START. HAD TO CALL THE FORD DEALER TO TOW MY TRUCK TO THEIR SITE. HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND TWO INJECTORS AT A COST OF $3,000. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT HAPPENING TO A GMC, CHEVY. OR DODGE DIESEL TRUCK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
WE OWN A 2005 FORD F-550 DIESEL TRUCK. WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL TANK DELAMINATING AND CAUSING THE FUEL FLOW TO STOP TO THE ENGINE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALOT OF FORD DIESEL TRUCKS, FORD DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TANK DELAMINATION, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO STOP RUNNING. WE ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAY THAT WE ARE RUNNING BIO-DIESEL THROUGH THE TRUCK AND THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE LINER SEPARATION. *TR
