| Description of the problem | My high pressure fuel pump has failed due to what ford calls contaminated fuel. Since my truck has only 12,000 miles on it i assumed warranty would cover a mechanical failure. But ford says that contaminates got into my system past the fuel filters hpfp how in the world am i to know about the quality of fuel i am buying at fuel stations across america? This fuel system is the bosch cp4 platform which has a terrible record of failure. Ford wants $8500 to fix my truck. It was $55,000 and with only 12,000 miles i have to spend $8500 more to fix. I know i am not the only person with this problem, please help! |
