 Tl- the contact owns a 2006 ford f-350. while driving approximately 50 mph, the contact drove over an uneven road surface and the front end of the vehicle began to shake vigorously. the vehicle would also shake abnormally when decelerating. the contact stated that in addition, the check engine warning light was illuminated, the vehicle would erratically shift, and the fuel tank was delaminating. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics but the technicians were unable to determine the cause of the shaking. the technicians were able to determine that the transmission shift sensor and the fuel tank would have to be replaced. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the transmission was rebuilt. and the transmission shift sensor was replaced. the fuel tank was not replaced. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000. kmj

 Truck runs rough, check engine light come on, fuel sensor error. there seems to be quite a few similar complaints. dealers stated fuel tanks are corroding. why has there not been a recall? this is a manufacturing problem. ford should deal with it. or made to.

 My ford f350 turbo deisel 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 foriegn 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 exihibiting 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 warrantly. the truck is like new, only 66k miles. this is unbelivable. i've never experience such a tramatic 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.
