NHTSA Complaint #10433982 — 2006 FORD F-350

MY FORD F350 TURBO DIESEL TRUCK WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN APPROX. 25 MPH, COULD NOT GET ANY POWER. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND IT DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER THINKING IT WOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MODULE-NO FIX, THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTERS AND FOUND FOREIGN SUBSTANCE/CORROSION, PULLED THE FUEL TANK AND FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE CORROSION, DELAMINATING FUEL TANK. THE REPAIRS ARE UP TO $2500, THE FUEL TANK STILL TO COST $1300 TO REPLACE THE PART BUT STILL HAVE LABOR INVOLVED. ALSO THE FUEL INJECTORS, 5 OF THE 8 ARE EXHIBITING NO POWER AND VARIOUS OTHER FUEL FILTERS THAT THEY NAMED OFF WILL ALSO NEED TO BE CHANGED. THAT WILL COST ANOTHER SEVERAL THOUSAND. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MANUFACTURER, CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY STATE THEY WILL NOT PAY OR ASSIST ME IN THE COST EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ONLY 6 WEEKS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRUCK IS LIKE NEW, ONLY 66K MILES. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCE SUCH A TRAUMATIC COSTLY PROBLEM IN AN AUTOMOBILE WITH ONLY 66K MILES. I STILL HAVE THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE COST. *TR
