High pressure fuel pump and related fuel system failure due to contaminated fuel diesel.
2011 Ford F-250 SD fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Intermittently between 35 MPH and 85 MPH, the vehicle will start to shudder for 5-15 seconds and during this time, sometimes will be accompanied by loss of throttle. It generally happens during or shortly thereafter a regen / cleaning exhaust filter message appears. The "shudder" could also be described as a "lugging" sensation. After confirming this problem with a vehicle data recorder, ford's response to my dealer was "do not attempt repairs at this time, engineering is investigating."
My high pressure fuel pump has failed due to what ford calls contaminated fuel. Since my truck has only 12,000 miles on it I assumed warranty would cover a mechanical failure. But ford says that contaminates got into my system past the fuel filters hpfp how in the world am I to know about the quality of fuel I am buying at fuel stations across america? This fuel system is the bosch cp4 platform which has a terrible record of failure. Ford wants $8500 to fix my truck. It was $55,000 and with only 12,000 miles I have to spend $8500 more to fix. I know I am not the only person with this problem, please help!
