Example complaints

“Ford gas tank delamination. Loss of power. Engine missing. This has brought me extreme heartache at the worst time. I am a seasonal worker who relies solely on his truck. Without it I am out of business. It will cost me anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 to fix it. And I simply don't have it.”

NHTSA complaint #10500525, filed 2013-02, 124,335 miles

“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. …”

“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. …”

NHTSA complaint #10448820, filed 2012-02, 32,500 miles

“Strong odor of gas noted after driving 50 miles (round trip). Upon further inspection it was discovered that a major gas leak was occurring at the rear of the truck. The dealer indicated a faulty factory installation and routing of the gas line around the air suspension. The gas line was replaced.”

NHTSA complaint #10233077, filed 2008-07, 17,000 miles

“Vehicle stopped working. The culprit was the Ford fuel tank that had delaminated. The tank had to be replaced. The cost: $1600.00. Additionally, there was a loss of revenue as this vehicle is used for production purposes. Ford denied responsibility for any defects of their fuel tanks. With no other choice, we had to pay for the repairs out of pocket. This is a safety issue, as these vehicles are used for commercial usage daily. This is also a financial burden that has been forced onto us unfairly. They need to take responsibility and recall these fuel tanks.”
