THIS VEHICLES ISSUES BEGAN WITH THE GALVANIZING OF THE INTERIOR OF THE FUEL TANK FLAKING OFF AND GETTING INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM. IT IS A DIESEL. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED, INJECTORS REPLACED, HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REPLACED TO NAME A FEW. ALL AFTER THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN A NUMBER OF TIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO LOSE ALL POWER. FORTUNATELY OUR DRIVERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MANEUVER IT OFF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FORD HAS DENIED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL TANKS; HOWEVER, WHEN WE CHECKED AROUND WE FOUND IT TO BE QUITE COMMON. IN FACT WE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME SECURING A NEW TANK BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY REPLACEMENTS BEING DONE. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD STEP FORWARD AND ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE AND DEAL WITH IT. WE DISCUSSED THIS WITH A ZONE MANAGER AND GOT NOWHERE.

MY FORD F350 TURBO DIESEL TRUCK WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN APPROX. 25 MPH, COULD NOT GET ANY POWER. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND IT DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER THINKING IT WOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE-NO FIX, THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTERS AND FOUND FOREIGN SUBSTANCE/CORROSION, PULLED THE FUEL TANK AND FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE CORROSION, DELAMINATING FUEL TANK. THE REPAIRS ARE UP TO $2500, THE FUEL TANK STILL TO COST $1300 TO REPLACE THE PART BUT STILL HAVE LABOR INVOLVED. ALSO THE FUEL INJECTORS, 5 OF THE 8 ARE EXHIBITING NO POWER AND VARIOUS OTHER FUEL FILTERS THAT THEY NAMED OFF WILL ALSO NEED TO BE CHANGED. THAT WILL COST ANOTHER SEVERAL THOUSAND. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MANUFACTURER, CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY STATE THEY WILL NOT PAY OR ASSIST ME IN THE COST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ONLY 6 WEEKS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS LIKE NEW, ONLY 66K MILES. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCE SUCH A TRAUMATIC COSTLY PROBLEM IN AN AUTOMOBILE WITH ONLY 66K MILES. I STILL HAVE THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE COST. *TR

IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO OUR HOME JUST LAST THURSDAY APRIL 14TH DUE TO NOT RESTARTING. TODAY, APRIL 18TH, WE TOOK THIS TRUCK TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AS WAS RECOMMENDED BY FORD MOTOR CO.

2006 FORD F-350 SUPER DUTY DIESEL DUMP TRUCK. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN TO CROWLEY FORD IN PLAINVILLE CT. OVER 50 TIMES , YES THAT'S RIGHT I SAID 50.

RECENTLY THE TRUCK SAT AT CROWLEY FORD FROM MARCH 1 THROUGH THE END OF MARCH, THEIR TECH'S NOR FORDS TECH'S COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY ARE STILL DENYING THAT THE GAS TANK DELAMINATION HAS ANY BEARING ON THE SITUATION. COMPLETELY DISGUSTED WITH FORD AND THEIR LACK OF ATTENTION. I ASSUME ITS GOING TO TAKE A FATALITY OR TWO BEFORE THE PRESS PICKS UP ON THIS STORY AND FINALLY HOLDS FORD ACCOUNTABLE.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-350 DIESEL. THE VEHICLE AT IDLE OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WILL WITHOUT NOTICE BEGIN TO BUCK, AND SUDDENLY INCREASE RPM'S AND ACCELERATE,OR WILL STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE ERG VALVE. THAT CORRECTED IT FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS AND THEN IT STARTED IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD NEXT, BECAUSE THE CARBON THAT HAD BUILT UP IN THE MANIFOLD. AFTER A LENGTHY DISCUSSION THEY ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. THE FORD ENGINEERS TOLD THEM THAT THIS ENGINE WAS DESIGNED BY INTERNATIONAL FOR THE EUROPEAN MARKET AND THEIR DIESEL FUEL IS MORE REFINED THAN OURS, STATING THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. FORD REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THE PROBLEM. JUST LOOK AT THE INTERNET ABOUT THE 6.0 DIESEL ENGINE AND THERE IS PAGE AFTER PAGE STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, I AM STILL TRYING TO DECIDE HOW I SHALL PROCEED. THE VEHICLE HAS 96,000 MILES. I HAVE ONLY USED EXXON OR SHELL FUEL. *TR

F-350 EGR COOLER WENT BAD AND SMOKED UP ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. OTHER MOTORISTS COULD NOT SEE AS THE SMOKE EMITTED FROM MY F-350 WAS LIKE A VERY VERY THICK FOG. I CONTACTED FORD, WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE ONGOING AND EXTENSIVE PROBLEM, BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BUT "DOCUMENT" THE PROBLEM AND WANT NHTSA TO MAKE IT A RECALL. APPARENTLY THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER F-350 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'M NOT SURE IF THE FUMES THAT ARE EMITTED FROM THIS PROBLEM ARE SAFE EITHER. *TR
ENGINE FILTERS GET CLOGGED UP AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO RUN ERRATICALLY AND STALL, CAUSED FROM DEBRIS FROM A FAULTY FUEL TANK. *TR
