| 1. 2005 ford f550 diesel truck stalling, rough idle, loss of power completely. 2. the diesel fuel tank is delaminating and has caused $6,000 worth in damages. my truck stopped working completely and was towed to a ford dealership here in hawaii for diagnosis. my f550 is currently covered with a super duty diesel engine care warrantee that cost over $3,000 yet ford will not replace the defected tank that has caused thousands of problems nationwide to date. the tanks need to be recalled and individuals need to be reimbursed. ford has taken away from our economy and endangered our roads. 3. fuel filters, fuel tank, fuel injectors, fuel pumps, fuel pressure regulators, and fuel senders all need to be replaced. they are planning to replace the fuel tank with the same manufactured tank. it has already been documented that the problem will reoccur as many have had to replace the tank more than once. ford blames biodiesel yet i have never used biodiesel. this is manufactured defect. no other diesel tanks are having this problem on a daily basis nationwide. | |||

| I own a ford f 550 sd 2005, this truck has had fuel system problem off and on since i purchased three years ago. but this past week it started missing and stopping on me in traffic, i took it to the ford dealer and i'm told that the fuel tank lining is coming off and damaged the fuel pump, filters and injectors, repair to cost $5,000. also that this is due to the epa's low sulpher requirement on diesel fuels. this may be true but ford know of this way prior to the start date of this new fuel and still is using defective parts that they will not cover under warranty or a recall today.... this parts failure include 2 fuel tanks, fuel pump, fuel filters,and injectors all damaged due to a poor tank lining or coating. | |||

| 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 | |||
