1 Engine Failure problem of the 2011 Ford F-550

Failure Date: 05/07/2014

Ford has a TSB on a cylinder #5 glowplug failure that causes engine failure. Coincidentally, their warranty on a 6. 7 diesel is to 100,000 miles. Mine failed at 104,000. Ford is not covering it. This is going to cost me $13,000. The item should be a recall.

2 Engine Failure problem of the 2003 Ford F-550

Failure Date: 01/02/2008

Engine failed and vehicle stopped working. The culprit was the Ford fuel tank that had delaminated which caused debris to move through the fuel filter and engine. The engine had o be replaced. The tank had to be replaced. The cost: $10,345. 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.
