2007 Ford F-450 Sd

FORD F450 DIESEL DELAMINATING FUEL TANKS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DELAMINATION CAUSES THE FUEL SYSTEM TO NOT WORK PROPERLY SUCH AS THE INJECTORS CAUSING THE VEHICLES TO LOOSE POWER AND STALL. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES TO ME WITHOUT WARNING. THE TANK IS BEING RE-COATED BUT AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND EVEN THE FORD SERVICE TECH SAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN...AND MOST LIKELY WILL BECAUSE THE DIESEL FUEL IS INTERACTING WITH WHATEVER THEY PUT ON THE TANKS CAUSING IT TO ERODE. FORD WILL NOT COVER THIS. I HAVE FOUND INFORMATION SAYING IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO TANKS WITH THESE TWO IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS YC35-9K007-F8 AND 5C34-9K007-RA. I GUESS IF FORD ACKNOWLEDGED THIS THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THESE DEFECTIVE TANKS. BUT BY BLAMING THE DIESEL FUEL...THEY ARE NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE. HOWEVER IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON OTHER TRUCKS SUCH AS DODGE, CHEVY, ETC. SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO WARN OTHERS BEFORE SOMEONE STALLS AND CAUSES A WRECK. ALOT OF THESE TRUCKS ARE USED IN BUSINESS AND CARRY HEAVY LOADS. *TR

PURCHASED AN NEW F-450 WORK TRUCK FOR OUR SMALL MINORITY OWNED BUSINESS, NO ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL THE LAST TWO WEEKS,IT STARTED RUNNING REALLY WEIRD WITH NO PICKUP AT ALL..(15 MILES PER HR) TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL TANK LINING WAS DISINTEGRATING IT IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND 40,000 MILES I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD ON THIS ISSUE THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 1800.00 TO REPAIR FORD ALSO TOLD ME THAT FUEL TANK DISINTEGRATION WAS NOT A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NO WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT ANYWAY. FORD BUILT THE TRUCK NOT ME, I AM FINDING THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH AND DISCUSSION WITH OTHERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I THOUGHT FORD TRUCKS WERE BUILT TOUGH? YEAH TOUGH FOR THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE DONE ON A TRUCK WITH SO LITTLE MILES AND YEARS. PLEASE ADVISE ANY ACTIONS I MAY TAKE ON THIS SITUATION. I ALSO VOICED MY DISPLACEMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND THE HEAD OF ALL PARTS/SERVICE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET BACK WITH ME AND YOU GUESSED IT, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING WHICH I SUSPECT I WILL NOT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD F-450 SD. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE SHOCK ABSORBERS AND NOTICED THAT THE BOLT WAS SHEARED. HE THEN DISCONNECTED THE SHOCK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MECHANIC PROBABLY DAMAGED THE BOLT AND DECLARED THE FAILURE AS UNKNOWN. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE LOWER A ARM. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 1,500.

PURCHASED A 2007 KIA SORENTO LX ON MAY 29,2007. I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ON EVEN WHEN SOMEONE THAT MEETS ACCORDING TO KIA THE 50LB MINIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY.THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IT ALSO BLINKS ON AND OFF. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN AND SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS INCLUDING THE MANAGER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO NO AVAIL. THEY SEEM TO BE AS PERPLEXED AS I. I WAS RECENTLY TOLD THAT KIA SEEMS TO FEEL THAT THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE CUSHIONING NEEDS TO BE BROKEN IN. THAT IS ABSURD. PLEASE PEOPLE IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE OR ANY ISSUE. BE CONSISTENT, PERSISTENT AND DOCUMENT,DOCUMENT ,DOCUMENT. KIA NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR
