Starter Solenoid Problems of Ford F-350

Fuel tank collapsed. Had a 2011 f350 and the fuel tank collapsed on itself the truck is a service body, took to the dealer and they said we damaged the tank and tried to cover it up by putting a new skid plate on it. Not the case the truck has never left the pavement so whatever they recommend we replace it so we did, this is a (steel tank mind you) the next day it did it again so we took to dealer again, they said the vent valve solenoid was plugged so they replaced that and put a new tank in it next day it did it again took back to dealer sat there for almost six months and they said the ecm or pcm was bad, they wouldn't cover anything in parts so far so we paid for that too. Got it back ran great for six months and now has the same issue. Don't wanna dump more money into it as we spent close to 9,000 the time and the dealer wont cover it again. So has anyone else had this issue? the dealer says its never happened anywhere to anyone before.

The batteries on my 1999 f350 crew cab dually with a 7. 3 diesel went dead. When I tried to charge the batteries the charger showed an extremely high draw. I heard a solenoid clicking under the drivers side battery and the radio would turn on and off. I also noticed that my heater control would work even with the key off. After taking to the local Ford dealer I was told that the windshield was leaking and water had damaged the gem module and the fuse block. Repair cost to replace the gem module, fuse block and seal the leaking area was $1063. 01. When checking the internet to see what the gem module controlled I find that the water leak is a know problem due to a skip or void in the production sealer. According to the forums I have read there are many many trucks with this same problem. From what I found there are two TSB's issued for the water leak. They are TSB 99-2-3 and 04-23-9. From comments on the internet several trucks have caught fire and burned up. Ford apparently doesn't think this is a problem and has not taken action to correct the problem nor will they assist in the repair.

When truck originally purchased bubble on tire, and dealer said they all come that way, tire went flat while parked about a month later, no holes, we were told tire was no good, had to be replaced. Truck kept stalling, loss of brakes and steering while navigating downhill, solenoid assembly replaced. 2 days later kept stalling. Dealer had truck 21 days to rebuild transmission, again solenoid assembly replaced after that replaced wiring harness. Since then, caliper broke and brakes went, turbo has been replaced. Vehicle has repeatedly stalled, noises from rear end with no dx. Now engine smoking, loss of power, rpms jump while idling. Truck has also repeatedly changed gears automatically, ie while at red light truck would jump to 3rd and then truck would stall.
