| Description of the problem | I have a 2012 ford f-250 6. 7 liter diesel, the truck has 63,000 miles on it and is under extended warranty through ford, about 2 weeks ago truck engine suddenly died, luckily we were not traveling at a high rate of speed. I had truck towed to ford dealership and they diagnosed it as contaminated fuel, which resulted in complete failure of fuel system. Cost for this repair is $10,500 and ford extended warranty doesn't cover bad fuel. Problem is i only get my fuel from one station and they tested negative for contamination. My feelings about this is there was no contaminated fuel, but instead a faulty component in my fuel system. Meaning ford should back up there product. At this time the problem is being investigated but ford is already saying i need to go through my insurance |
