| I'm currently in kenya volunteering and don't have my old bill of sale with me but will happily provide it upon my return to the states. i could give an official personal information that they could then use to look up the vin if they wished. i was driving down the road when my truck started running rough and lost all power while towing a heavy 24' trailer. the truck was able to be driven to a mechanic where he told me that the tank had delaminated and clogged the fuel pump. luckily i was able to get the truck pulled over and off the road and have since sold the vehicle. i have read online of countless other individuals with the tank delamination problem and neither ford mo. co. or nhtsa has done anything about this issue... if you were to call rob barber- head of purchasing for the brickman group, i would bet that his company has had 100 trucks affected by this issue that ford refuses to make the recall on and thus not warrant. it's a safety issue because the defect could leave you powerless wherever you may be (railroad tracks or going over the ben franklin bridge). i figured something would be done and didn't report it at the time because i saw lawyers were beginning to get involved but here we still have no concrete solution other than the american people who buy american paying thousands to fix a company of whom they bailed out less than two years ago. | |||
