This Problem Across All Years
THE VEHICLE INVOLVED IS A HORTON AMBULANCE ON A FORD F450 CHASIS. WHILE ON AN EMERGENCY CALL THE UNIT STOPPED OPERATING AND THEN ENGINE WOULD NO LONGER START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TED BRITT FORD'S TRUCK REPAIR CENTER IN CHANTILLY. UPON EXAMINATION THEY FOUND THAT DUE TO THE FUEL TANK DELAMINATING, DEBRIS HAD DAMAGED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SYSTEM. SPOKE WITH FORD IN REGARDS TO RECALL OR REPAIR ASSISTANCE AS THIS IS A HIGHLY DOCUMENTED ISSUE. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND WILL NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR THE DEFECTIVE FUEL TANKS. AT THIS TIME WE ARE CONSIDERING HAVING TO REPLACE ALL OF OUR FORD STEEL FUEL TANKS AS WE HAVE NO WAY TO PREVENT THIS DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLES AND FORD REFUSES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

FORD F450 DIESEL DELAMINATING FUEL TANKS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DELAMINATION CAUSES THE FUEL SYSTEM TO NOT WORK PROPERLY SUCH AS THE INJECTORS CAUSING THE VEHICLES TO LOOSE POWER AND STALL. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES TO ME WITHOUT WARNING. THE TANK IS BEING RE-COATED BUT AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND EVEN THE FORD SERVICE TECH SAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN...AND MOST LIKELY WILL BECAUSE THE DIESEL FUEL IS INTERACTING WITH WHATEVER THEY PUT ON THE TANKS CAUSING IT TO ERODE. FORD WILL NOT COVER THIS. I HAVE FOUND INFORMATION SAYING IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO TANKS WITH THESE TWO IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS YC35-9K007-F8 AND 5C34-9K007-RA. I GUESS IF FORD ACKNOWLEDGED THIS THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THESE DEFECTIVE TANKS. BUT BY BLAMING THE DIESEL FUEL...THEY ARE NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE. HOWEVER IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON OTHER TRUCKS SUCH AS DODGE, CHEVY, ETC. SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO WARN OTHERS BEFORE SOMEONE STALLS AND CAUSES A WRECK. ALOT OF THESE TRUCKS ARE USED IN BUSINESS AND CARRY HEAVY LOADS. *TR

PURCHASED AN NEW F-450 WORK TRUCK FOR OUR SMALL MINORITY OWNED BUSINESS, NO ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL THE LAST TWO WEEKS,IT STARTED RUNNING REALLY WEIRD WITH NO PICKUP AT ALL..(15 MILES PER HR) TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL TANK LINING WAS DISINTEGRATING IT IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND 40,000 MILES I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD ON THIS ISSUE THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 1800.00 TO REPAIR FORD ALSO TOLD ME THAT FUEL TANK DISINTEGRATION WAS NOT A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NO WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT ANYWAY. FORD BUILT THE TRUCK NOT ME, I AM FINDING THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH AND DISCUSSION WITH OTHERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I THOUGHT FORD TRUCKS WERE BUILT TOUGH? YEAH TOUGH FOR THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE DONE ON A TRUCK WITH SO LITTLE MILES AND YEARS. PLEASE ADVISE ANY ACTIONS I MAY TAKE ON THIS SITUATION. I ALSO VOICED MY DISPLACEMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND THE HEAD OF ALL PARTS/SERVICE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET BACK WITH ME AND YOU GUESSED IT, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING WHICH I SUSPECT I WILL NOT. *TR
