Consumer Description

DRIVING AT APPROX. 35-40 MPH TRUCK LOST POWER AND STALLED . I CRANKED SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN IT STARTED . I DROVE ABOUT ANOTHER MILE AND THIS REPEATED TWICE ,THEN I WAS CALLING A WRECKER FOR A TOW. MY MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE FUEL FILTER & PUMP WAS CONTAMINATED WITH A SLUDGE AND THEN LOOKED IN THE FUEL TANK AND DISCOVERED THE FUEL TANK WAS FLAKING FROM THE INSIDE , MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THE COST OF PARTS AND REPAIR WAS $2100.00 , THE TANK IS A 40 GAL TANK THAT HOLDS DIESEL FUEL AT $ 4.25 PER GAL. MY WORK ASSOCIATE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND NOW THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM,HE WILL ALSO BE FILLING A REPORT WITH HIS WIN. # ,NOW WE ARE HEARING SEVERAL OF THE SAME OCCURRENCES. IT SOUNDS LIKE FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL / CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT, REIMBURSEMENT !!! THE DEFECT IS COSTING CONSUMER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. *TR
