| Description of the problem | I purchased the vehicle in october of 2013 with 99,000 miles on it. In january of 2014 i had a check engine light come on. I returned to the dealer to have the code read. At this point the diesel tech comes and tells me that my fuel system has been contaminated and they have to replace the entire fuel system and that i should call my insurance company to cover the cost. The insurance company sent out an inspector who took several fuel samples. Now after 16 days without my truck the test samples have came back as 100% pure diesel fuel with no trace evidence of contamination and they will not cover the cost. They are currently sending me legal documentation as well. The ford dealer knowing this information refuses to budge from their contamination claims. |
