NHTSA Complaint #11207741 — 2014 FORD F-350 SD

I OWN A 2014 F350 DIESEL TRUCK, MY BUDDY OWNS A 2015 F350 DIESEL TRUCK, A MONTH OR SO AGO HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HIS TRUCK STALLED/SHUT DOWN ON HIM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING HIS STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP, HE WAS BARLEY ABLE TO GET IT ONTO THE SHOULDER AND IT LEFT HIM STRANDED SINCE HIS TRUCK WOULDN'T START BACK UP. HE BROUGHT IT TO A SHOP AND COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS HIS HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. FAST FORWARD A LITTLE FURTHER, HE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT FORD PUT FAULTY FUEL PUMPS ON ALL THEIR DIESEL TRUCKS, THE PUMPS CAN'T HANDLE US DIESEL, IT'S NOT LUBRICATED ENOUGH FOR THE PUMPS, SO THE PUMP DESTROYS ITSELF AND SENDS METAL SHARDS THROUGH THE WHOLE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. SO HE WAS STUCK PAYING A $6,XXX BILL TO GET IT FIXED. FAST FORWARD I FOUND OUT THEY MAKE A 'DISASTER PREVENTION KIT' SO WHEN THE PUMP FAILS THE METAL DOESN'T GET THROUGH THE WHOLE SYSTEM YOU ONLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE PUMP WHICH IS $1,XXX. SO I BOUGHT THE KIT AND HAD IT INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK BUT IT WAS TOO LATE MY SYSTEM GOT WIPED OUT. SO NOW I'M OUT $6,XXX TO GET IT FIXED WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD. FORD WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL. I'VE DONE MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THE NEW DIESEL TRUCKS FROM FORD STILL HAVE THE SAME FUEL PUMP. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME TILL OTHER PEOPLE START HAVING FAILURES. I WOULD BE PISSED IF I SPENT $70,XXX ON A TRUCK ONLY TO HAVE TO SPEND MORE TO FIX THE FUEL SYSTEM. NOBODY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUES YET BUT SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT.
