2008 Ford F Super Duty Fuel system Problems

“My truck began cutting off on me while I was driving every now and then. Now it is doing it more and more. I had no idea what it was, so a couple of times I thought it might have been bad gas so I changed gas and starting using amoco gas and put fuel injector cleaner in my gas tank. That did not fix the problem. Now I am losing pressure while I am driving. I called Ford motors and they told me that my vehicle is not a part of the recall, but my vehicle is doing the same thing that is in the recall. …”

“I was traveling down a two lane road in my 2008 f250 pickup (diesel) on 26 jan 2016 about 35 MPH, and came upon a stop sign. I released the gas pedal and started braking. The engine started accelerating, even though I was applying the brakes. The vehicle was in four wheel drive (high), so all four tires were spinning fast, and kept the vehicle moving forward. I stood on the brake pedal with both feet, and after going several feet into the intersection, it finally stopped. I quickly shifted into neutral, and a few seconds later the problem stopped. I then continued on my way. …”

“The fuel tank lining is failing so we took the truck into the dealership. The corroding fuel tank liner has gummed up our fuel filter. While at the shop looking at this the dealership mechanic quickly pointed out that our radiator has a leak. He mentioned that it was a common problem and not covered by warranty. After looking into it further we found out that it is a common problem among Ford superduty f450. This is the second truck (f450) that this has happened to and it cost ~$1,600.00 to fix. Ford refuses to cover this but the dealership knows its a common problem.”

“Accelerated on road up to approximately 50 MPH when the vehicle suddenly shut off. Was extremely difficult to get off to the side of the highway. Vehicle issue turned out to be a wire shorting out on the high pressure fuel pump. Issue known by Ford which issued TSB 07-26-2. Affects all f250/f1350/f450/f550 created in first half of 2007. A brief search around the we shows it affects later years as well so replacement part may not be adequate. Many fail at much lower miles.”
