| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 ford f-550 with only 31000 miles and the vehicle lost power and stalled out on side of road. When ford dealership checked the vehicle it was found that the fuel tank liner had deteriorated and rusted causing debris to enter into the fuel system which damaged the fuel pump, injectors and other parts of the fuel system. After talking with other ford dealerships we found out that this has been a problem with other vehicles that have this same tank. If ford would have recalled the tank or at least made it known to the owners that there was a problem all the damage would not have happened. This has cost us already $2658 to the ford dealership and we have about $1500 more to spend to correct the problem----all because ford would not even let us know there was a problem that could have been fixed for a lot less. |
