Consumer Description

NOVEMBER 2008, OUR FORD TRUCK BROKE DOWN DUE TO FUEL PROBLEMS. TRUCK WAS TOWED IN AND FUEL FILTER WAS CHECKED. TINY SILVER FLAKES CLOGGED THE FILTER. MECHANIC ALERTED US THAT FORD IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL TANK LINERS SEPARATING, AND THAT THEY ARE NOT TAKING CLAIM ON IT. TRUCK FILTER WAS CHANGED AND IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH.. WE PULLED THE FUEL FILTER AGAIN ONLY TO FIND "FLAKES" IN THE FILTER AGAIN. SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET SHOWED COUNTLESS PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HAVING TO DISH OUT THOUSANDS IN REPAIR COSTS ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN TO THEM. NO REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET THAT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR GOOD, EVERYONE IS FORCED TO BUY FORDS REPLACEMENT. ALSO NO ONE KNOWS IF THIS WILL RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE FUEL FILTER AND INJECTORS DOWN THE ROAD AFTER THE WARRANTY ON THESE ITEMS RUNS OUT. *TR
