2006 Ford F-550 Sd

I OWN A 2006 FORD F-550 DIESEL PICK-UP TRUCK. BOUGHT THE TRUCK WHEN IT WAS NEW. AT 4,000 MILES SEVERAL OF THE INJECTORS WENT BAD. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER 7 DIFFERENT TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE TRUCK TO RUN RIGHT. OR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS RIGHT. IT NEVER HAS GOTTEN VERY GOOD FUEL MILEAGE, AND I NOW KNOW WHY. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING HORRIBLE. I TOOK THE FUEL FILTER OFF, AS WELL AS CAPTURED THE FUEL INTO A CLEAN GLASS JAR. IT WAS FULL OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE SILVER FLAKES AS WELL AS RUST FROM THE INSIDE OF THE FUEL TANK. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT HAS ALSO CLOGGED THE INJECTORS. THE TRUCK IS STARVING FOR FUEL. FORD SAID THE TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER, AT OUR EXPENSE. THROUGH FURTHER RESEARCH I NOW FIND OUT THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE US. (I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE FTC ABOUT THIS) THE TANKS ARE DELAMINATING. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE ROTTING. EVERY ARTICLE I HAVE READ DESCRIBES THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. FORD CLAIMED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TANK. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL RADIATOR SHOP, AND THEY SAID THE WHOLE TOP OF THE TANK IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THE LAMINATE THAT WAS PUT ON AT THE FACTORY IS FALLING OFF INTO THE TANK, THEN RUNNING THROUGH THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS CONTINUES TO BE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONSUMER, ON A PRODUCT THAT CLEARLY IS DEFECTIVE!!! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE, MY WIFE BREAKING DOWN WITH THIS TRUCK, AND GETTING KILLED WHILE SHE WAITS FOR HELP??? THIS IS A NATIONAL PROBLEM. THEIR ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH FLEETS OF FORD TRUCKS THAT ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THESE TANKS NEED TO BE RECALLED. IT IS VERY WRONG THAT WE THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE PAYING FOR REPAIRS ON A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. MOST OF THESE VEHICLES COST MORE THAN YOUR AVERAGE HOME. THIS IS NOT A SMALL PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED TO FLEETS OF AMBULANCES. I SURE HOPE I DON'T HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER THAT NEEDS TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY ONE OF THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES, AND THEY BREAK DOWN ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL. *TR

TSB 19728 - WE OWN A LIMOUSINE PARTY COACH ON A 2006 FORD F-550 CHASSIS AND HAD THE PLEASURE OF EXPERIENCE THE "FUEL TANK DETERIORATION" AND HAVING A TOTAL OF 16 FUEL INJECTORS AND 4 GAS TANKS REPLACED IN A ONE YEAR PERIOD. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL TANK. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE REPAIR "AS A COURTESY" AND NOW ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AND NOW THEY REFUSE TO WARRANTY OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! THE TOTAL REPAIR COSTS ON THIS DEFECT IS $5000.00 DOLLARS FOR THE 2 FUEL TANKS $2000.00 FOR THE INJECTORS $1200.00 IN TOWING AND NOT TO MENTION THE LOSS OF REVENUE BECAUSE THE BUS IS OUT OF SERVICE. FORD IS TRYING TO BLAME THE DIESEL FUEL WHICH IS STATE REGULATED IN NEW JERSEY. THIS IS A TOOL FOR OUR BUSINESS AND THE MAINTENANCE IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY SO WE DO NOT USE CHEAP FUEL. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO FORD CORP IN NY & DETROIT AND THEY KEEP DENYING RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS VEHICLE IS A 2006 WITH ONLY 37K MILES ON THE CLOCK. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING! *TR
