Coming home from a camping trip with a 5th wheel camper & truck just stopped working. Come to find out the stc fitting on high pressure oil pump shot apart & cracked rear timing cover. After being stuck on the highway for over 8 hours, stranded at the campground for 4 more days & $3000 to get it fixed, we then finding out that this is a common problem with this engine. This stc fitting has since been changed by the manufacturer so that it is one piece now, however there has not been a recall on it. We have several ford vehicles and it is very upsetting to go through all of this when a simple recall could have avoided it. Thank you for your attention to resolving this matter & helping us get a refund for the $3000.

The inter liner of the fuel tank disintegrated causing the fuel to contaminate the fuel injectors and the fuel pump. The local ford dealer recommended that the fuel tank, the fuel pump and all the fuel injectors be replaced. Total cost between $5000 and $6000 dollars. Gave the approval on may 3rd 2011. As of july 5th still waiting on the new fuel tank. Ford has had so many of these fuel tanks fail that there is a national waiting list for the replacement tanks. Adding insult to injury, this is a work truck. Everyday it's unavailable cost the company $100.00 to $150.00 a day. Add that into the repair and now it's costing us 10k to 12k. At this time, we still have no answer from our ford dealer as to when we can expect the new tank. At the very least, I think ford should be responsible for the repair.

De-lamination of aluminum coating in fuel tank. This sends silver particles into the fuel filter clogging said filter causing the vehicle to stall out or stop completely. Ford knows there is a problem but refuses to do anything. The vehicle has 72,000 miles. I will have to spend over $1,500 to get the problem fixed. The new tank is $1,200 and is on national back order. No telling when it will come in. My truck now sits waiting. I have done lots of research on this and I am not the only one with this problem. The dealer told me he has replaced 200 or more tanks already. I'm baffled as to why nothing has been done about this.
