| Diesel Fuel System problems |
I purchased the vehicle in October of 2013 with 99,000 miles on it. In January of 2014 I had a check engine light come on. I returned to the dealer to have the code read. At this point the diesel tech comes and tells me that my fuel system has been contaminated and they have to replace the entire fuel system and that I should call my insurance company to cover the cost. The insurance company sent out an inspector who took several fuel samples. Now after 16 days without my truck the test samples have came back as 100% pure diesel fuel with no trace evidence of contamination and they will not cover the cost. They are currently sending me legal documentation as well. The Ford dealer knowing this information refuses to budge from their contamination claims.
Fueled up drove truck for 2 days no problems. That night while driving truck beeped low fuel pressure light came on and truck died in middle of road. Got towed in to healey bros in goshen,NY. After 4 days was told I had water in the diesel. But if there was, the water in fuel light sensor should have gone off and it didn't. The dealer told me they had to replace everything from the fuel pump to the injects. At an outstanding $10,000. After 1 month of fighting with Ford and my insurance company, nobody wants to cover even under the extended warranty I have. I gave dealership ok to fix. Another mother later supposedly still waiting on parts. At this time I've had enough making my 400. 00 a month payment and paying my insurance on a truck I don't have, I called a lawyer. Well when the lawyer requested info such as if Ford sent an adjuster, what tests did they run on fuel, what was the % of water, why didn't the light come on that they tested and said it was ok and a written statement backing up their statement of water in the fuel so I could go after the fuel company they refused to give them up. Now all of a sudden they want to work with me and Ford is gonna cover the work and credit me 2 months payments. Something smell rotten in denmark with this engine problem and healey bros Ford and Ford themselves. Still wont give me and honest answer on what the problem is. And still waiting for my truck.
