4 Tank Assembly problem of the 2011 Ford F-250

Failure Date: 09/18/2011

The def tank continues to throw a check engine light warning. According to the dealer Ford knows about the problem and there is no current fix to the issue. My def tank was replaced with a unit off another vehicle on the lot and was told that I could be left stranded if the light continues to stay on. San tan Ford had no fix for the problem until Ford release a fix and according to the service manager there are 120 people waiting for tanks. How can Ford continue to sell these f250's if the def tanks are not working and leave the vehicle out of working order. This is a serious safety issue if the vehicle disables itself at anytime due to this problem! there needs to be some pressure put on Ford to get these vehicles in working order and people should be made aware of this problem if they are spending over $50,000 on a new vehicle that may at anytime stop working with no fix available. Need to recall ASAP, people all over the forums are complaining of the issue and removing these pollution equipment to have their vehicles working correctly. Not good business Ford!.

Failure Date: 08/29/1999

The vehicle was taken into the Ford dealer for a safety recall pertaining to the fuel tank mounting system. They could not complete the recall work because the fuel tank was leaking from a hole in the bottom of the tank. The dealer stated that the tank had a puncture that was caused by some object that bounced off the road. The tank is made of plastic and has no shield to protect it from road debris. Had this been a gasoline tank instead of diesel fuel it could very well have exploded when the object struck the tank.
