| Description of the problem | It started running really sluggish. Wouldn't go up hills, bogging down, etc. Second time that the dealer told me that their is flaking in the fuel tank. Need to replace the tank because ford tells me that the diesel gas is causing the flaking in the tank. This happen before just after 3 years and at a cost of $3. 000. Now the same thing, only fords seem to have this problem with the flaking and they will do nothing about it. All over the internet others with 2005-2007 ford diesels are having the same problem. I live in new york and problems are having all over the us. In 2 1/2 years should not have a problem with the gas tank again. Ford needs to step up and say that their is a problem with this and cover it! |
