| The truck in question is a 2004 ford f-550 diesel. upon depressing gas pedal, truck stalled and no longer worked properly. truck was towed to local ford dealer where it was determined that the fuel tank was suffering from rust inside the tank. based on the work done, rust particles that formed inside the tank were forced through the fuel pump and filter damaging both and causing an issue with the fuel injectors. i called ford directly to ask about any recalls for this issue and they told me there was no recall currently for this problem. they said the truck was out of warranty and there was nothing they could do about the $3000 bill from their independent dealer. i find it hard to believe that a truck that is not used for plowing and only has 36,000 miles would suffer such a catastrophic failure. the replacement tank was made of some type of plastic not the oem metal tank that was originally used on the truck which made me question the dealer. they said they had seen this happen on tanks of this model quite often so they replaced them with a pvc model. upon further discussions through blogs and other online resources i was able to find a few owners of the same trucks that had similar problems. these discussions prompted me to file this claim. | |||

| 2004 f550 trucks have the inside gas tank's pain or linen, peeling or delaminating. this cause the motor to stall. because all the little pieces of paint going to the injectors.for 3 years (2009-2010 and 2011) in a row, we need to fix the problem ourself costing us $3,500 every time -this year is the same problem. last year i call ford motor co, and they told me that were not enough complaints to make a recall. but if you check goggle.com and go to 2004 f550 complaints's page you will see hundreds and hundreds of complaints. we bought the truck on dec 2004 and paid for it $56,000- dolars, was not a cheap truck. also, i were talking to a lot of f550's owners ( most of them landscapers)and they had or have the same problem. so..........ford co is washing the hands, and not doing a recall on this. | |||

| Problem 1: in 2004 i purchased a new ford f-550 with the gasoline v10. about one month after owning the truck the through-out bearing on the clutch started making noise and has done so. this year with only 49,000 miles on the truck now it does not want to go into gear sometimes.by the time i contacted my dealer he said that the truck was off warranty. did they sell cheap bearings in these trucks, because my last f350 i had for 14 years without any problems. problem 2: ever since i haved owned this truck. when you are sitting at a light and get ready to go. all of a sudden the engine shuts down for about 2 seconds and then goes. | |||
