Consumer Description
STARTED THE TRUCK AND WAS RUNNING ODD. DECIDED TO START DRIVING TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WOULD WORK IT SELF OUT AND STARTED TO SMELL LOTS OF DIESEL FUEL. PULLED OVER AND FUEL WAS EVERYWHERE UNDER THE HOOD AND ON THE GROUND AND ALSO A VERY STRONG DIESEL SMELL INSIDE THE CAB. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEAL AND TURNS OUT THAT A FUEL INJECTOR CLAMP FAILED. WE ALSO FOUND OUT FORD HAS ALREADY IDENTIFIED THESE PARTS AS DEFECTIVE, AND HAVE STARTED USING A NEW PART WITH A NEW PART NUMBER. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT. THE FUEL IS ATOMIZED IN THE SPRAY FROM THE INJECTOR, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE, OR WORSE.
