NHTSA Complaint #10840373 — 2013 FORD F-250 SD

AS I PULLED OUT OF THE DEALER AFTER TAKING IT IN FOR A REPLACEMENT MIRROR AND WASHER NOZZLES,I GOT ONTO THE FREEWAY AND AT ABOUT 60 MPH MY MY TRUCK LOST POWER,SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON,THE WARNING SIGN ON THE DASH INDICATED THAT THE TRUCK DID NOT HAVE ANY FUEL PRESSURE AND SPEED DROPPED TO ABOUT 30 MPH.AS I WAS ABLE TO PULL OF THE FREEWAY BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT,I PARKED THE TRUCK, CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY WAS DONE TO MY TRUCK BESIDES THE WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.I THEN WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE DEALER THROUGH THE STREETS BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY LIMITED TO A CERTAIN SPEED.AFTER THE DEALER TOOK 2 WEEKS TO INSPECT THE TRUCK THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE TRUCK BROKE DOWN DUE TO BAD DIESEL FUEL AND POSSIBLE WATER AND RUST IN THE FUEL COMPONENTS.THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH A FUEL WATER SEPARATOR AND WATER WARNING SYSTEMS WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE DRAINED AND MAINTAINED.NEVER HAD THE LIGHT INDICATE THAT TRUCK HAD WATER OR ANY TYPE OF ISSUE WITH THE FUEL LINES YET THE DEALER AT FORD BLAMES IT ON BAD FUEL.WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE DAMAGES DUE TO BAD FUEL AND IT IS A $10,000 REPAIR FOR THE CONSUMER.THE TRUCK IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH TWO FUEL FILTERS AND YET THEY FOUND DEBRIS IN THE FUEL LINES.I BELIEVE MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THEIR END TO PREVENT HIGH COST TO THE CONSUMER AND MAKE THEIR PARTS TO STANDARD TO PREVENT ANY COSTLY DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLES.I DO NOT KNOW IF MY INSURANCE WILL COVER IT YET I'M STILL WAITING ON FORD TO FINISH THEIR INSPECTION OF THE TRUCK.
