2006 Ford F-550 SD fuel system problems

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN MICHIGAN, IT SUDDENLY BEGAN LOSING POWER. AFTER FREQUENTLY STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE TRUCK STOPPED COMPLETELY. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED THE CAUSE, THEY FOUND SPECKS OF PAINT IN THE DIESEL FUEL. WHEN THE FACTORY INSTALLED GAS TANK WAS DROPPED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE COATING INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WAS FLAKING OFF AND HAD PLUGGED THE FUEL FILTERS, CONTAMINATED THE FUEL AS WELL AS DAMAGING 3 INVERTERS.. WHEN INVESTIGATING IF OTHERS HAVE SAME COMPLAINT, WE FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT PULLING OUR RV.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL

HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 5 YEARS. BOUGHT USED FROM A DEALER. HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT FROM DAY 1. RECENTLY, TODAY AS MATTER OF FACT, DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, CANNOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 40 MPH. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN JUST AS MANY WEEKS THAT THIS TRUCK HAS HAD TO BE TOWED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC HAS RUN ALL OR ANY PROBLEMS THROUGH A STATE OF THE ART CODE READER, EVERY TIME COMING UP WITH NO CODE. AFTER MANY DISCUSSIONS AND GUESSES, WE BOTH STARTED TO WONDER IF THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOUND A WAY TO BYPASS THE ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS FINDING IT ODD THAT EVERY TIME IT WAS SCANNED NO CODES CAME UP. TODAY IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A FAULTY FUEL TANK DUE TO DELAMINATION. NOW WHY IN THE WORLD DOES THAT NOT SHOW UP IN ANY OF THE SCANS RELATED TO FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. THESE FAULTY TANKS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY, ALL OUT OF POCKET. WHICH JUST LED TO REPLACING NOT ONLY THE FUEL TANK, BUT THE FUEL FILTERS, THE FUEL INJECTORS, ALL FUEL LINES, LUCKILY NOT THE ENGINE ITSELF. I HAVE OWNED FORDS MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE. 4 OF THEM BEING DIESELS, AND ALL OF THEM BEING THE 6.0L SHAME ON ME FOR BEING FOOLED THAT MANY TIMES. BUT HOW ARE THEY ABLE TO ALWAYS GET AWAY WITH GETTING AROUND THE PROBLEM. IT IS FACT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM IN THESE PARTICULAR MODELS, AND IT IS PROVEN IN EVERY INVOICE FOR A MAJOR REPAIR RELATED TO THIS FUEL RELATED PROBLEM IN ALL 6.0L. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP ALWAYS TOLD ME "YOU GOT THE BAD EGG IN THAT BATCH". I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN 1 6.0L THAT HAS NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM. ARE WE WRONG FOR SAYING THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND ACTION TAKEN FOR HAVING TO SPEND THOUSANDS SOMETIMES MORE THEN ONCE TO FIX AN OBVIOUS DEFECT ON THE MANUFACTURES END? CURIOUS MINDS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HOPEFULLY CONSIDERING LOOKING INTO THIS FARTHER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

DRIVER REPORTED THAT THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING WELL ON RETURN TO WAREHOUSE. I SENT HIM TO DEALER WITH TRUCK. THE ENGINE QUIT ON THE WAY AND WE HAD TO TOW THE TRUCK TO DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THE FUEL TANK HAD DELAMINATED AND RUINED THE FUEL PUMP AND SEVERAL FUEL INJECTORS. IT WOULD COST OVER $4000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN (THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 1400 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY) AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID FORD WOULD BILL IT AS A WARRANTY CLAIM AND SPLIT THE COST WITH ME WHICH MEANT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1133 DOLLARS. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY IT. IN OCTOBER 2014 THE TRUCK DID IT AGAIN AT 232886 MILES. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO SOMEONE ELSE AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL TANK HAD DELAMINATED AGAIN. IT COST $4295 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK , FUEL PUMP AND THREE FUEL INJECTORS. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN , WIDESPREAD PROBLEM (GOOGLE IT ON THE INTERNET ) AND I THINK FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR ALL EXPENSES , INCLUDING RENTALS WHILE REPAIRS WERE MADE.

THE COST OF PARTS AND REPAIR WAS $2100.00 , THE TANK IS A 40 GAL TANK THAT HOLDS DIESEL FUEL AT $ 4.25 PER GAL. MY WORK ASSOCIATE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND NOW THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM,HE WILL ALSO BE FILLING A REPORT WITH HIS WIN. # ,NOW WE ARE HEARING SEVERAL OF THE SAME OCCURRENCES.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL

I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH TWO F550 DIESEL TRUCKS THAT I OWN. THEY BOTH HAVE HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH LACK OF POWER/NO POWER WHILE UNDER IT'S MANUFACTURED WARRANTY AND NOW WITH NO WARRANTY. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL LOOSE ALL POWER. THE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP ON ALL OCCASIONS UNTIL I COULD NO LONER DEAL WITH THE CONTINUED PROBLEMS AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND THEM TELLING ME IT'S FIXED AND MONTHS DOWN THE LINE OR WEEKS AT TIMES THE TRUCKS ARE STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SINCE OCT 2010 I HAVE HAD THE SAME VEHICLE WORKED ON BY TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS. EVERY TIME WHILE IN THE SHOP I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MULTIPLE INJECTORS. FINALLY AFTER THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF WORK AND DOWN TIME I HAVE FOUND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT LITERALLY TORE THE VEHICLE APART TO FIND THE CULPRIT OF THIS CONTINUOUS PROBLEM. HE PULLED THE FUEL FILTER WHICH HAD BEEN CHANGED JUST TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO HIM GETTING THE TRUCK WITH THESE ISSUES AND IT WAS LITERALLY COVERED IN SILVER PARTICLES. SO BAD THAT THERE WERE CREASES IN THE FILTER WHERE THE FUEL WAS TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE FILTER BUT COULD NOT. THE FUEL TANK IS DELAMINATING WHICH HAS BEEN CAUSING A RESTRICTED FUEL ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK WHICH IN RETURN KNOCKS OUT FUEL PUMPS AND BLOWS INJECTORS. THUS WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRUCK COMPLETELY LOOSES POWER WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING SPEEDS OF 55 PLUS DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING TO YOU OR ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND YOU. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER IN WHICH I BELIEVE FORD IS VERY AWARE OF AND FROM WHAT I HAVE GATHERED ON THE INTERNET IN READING ABOUT MY PROBLEMS REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND BLAMES THE CONSUMER OF WHERE THEY BUY THEIR FUEL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN COMPLAINING TO THE DEALERSHIP OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT IT WHERE I PURCHASE MY FUEL. I HAVE ALL MY RECEIPTS AS WELL AS THE FUEL FILTER THAT IS COATED WITH SILVER SHAVING.
