NHTSA Complaint #10239947 — 2004 FORD F-450 SD

I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FUEL TANK IN MY 2004 F-450, THE TRUCK WAS LOSING POWER AND DRIVING LIKE A PLUGGED FUEL FILTER AND AFTER CHANGING FUEL FILTERS MANY TIMES I HAD FOUND A "GREY FLAKE LIKE" MATERIALS IN BOTH FILTERS. I DECIDED TO TAKE TRUCK TO FORD DEALER IN LINCOLN, NE TO HAVE LOOKED AT AND FIXED. THEY CALLED BACK TELLING ME THE FUEL TANK LINING WAS BAD IN THE FUEL TANK AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. IT ALSO CAUSED ONE INJECTOR TO GO BAD(HOPEFULLY NOT MORE) AND A "NOZZLE ASSEMBLY". THEY CHARGED ME TO DISPOSE OF THE 25(OR SO) GALLONS OF FUEL, AND CHARGED ME FOR NEW FUEL. THE TOTAL BILL WAS $2066.23. THEY SAID THEY TALKED TO FORD AND FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY ANYTHING. IN LOOKING ON INTERNET THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM. THE TANK HAS A LINER IN IT THAT HAS DISSOLVED CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, TRUCK HAS 32000 MILES AND SHOULD NOT! NEED A FUEL TANK AFTER 4 YEARS. I HAVE OLD FUEL TANK. THANKS, CHRIS KEMS. *TR
