There is a problem with the instrument cluster and the plugs. The dash goes dead, interior lights dont work. Power windows dont work radio shuts off. Vehicle runs improperly. The vehicle can be sitting or moving. I have done research and found ford trucks from as early as 2002-2008 have this issue. Its unsafeand a know issuewith these year ford truck f150-f450. A new dash is very expensive and used ones run the risk of the same issue happening again. The fix is simple, the cost is not. Theres videos on you tube dozens of forums. Excursion expeditions are also having the same issue. Im n the mid west its cold. I drove to pick up a coiple atvs an hour north. Halfway back issues happened while window was down. Drove home preg fiance 5yr old in the back -3 outside-15 windchill n we're drive 65mph to get home. That was misserable.

This vehicles issues began with the galvanizing of the interior of the fuel tank flaking off and getting into the fuel system. It is a diesel. It has been to the shop to have the fuel tank replaced, injectors replaced, high pressure fuel pump replaced to name a few. All after the fuel tank problem. Since then the vehicle has shut down a number of times while on the highway. This is extremely hazardous to lose all power. Fortunately our drivers have been able to maneuver it off the highway before causing an accident. Ford has denied having a problem with their fuel tanks; however, when we checked around we found it to be quite common. In fact we had a difficult time securing a new tank because there were so many replacements being done. I believe ford should step forward and admit there is an issue and deal with it. We discussed this with a zone manager and got nowhere.

Purchased this vehicle less than a year ago and was originally very pleased. Suddenly we are now experiencing the death wobble as other have described. The violent shaking of the front end. This usually occurs when you are approaching the speed of 60mph. We do not have to hit a bump for it to happen. The other complaint, is that we bought this truck with very low mileage for the year, ran great, looked great, very pleased until this last month when the check engine light came on and it seems to sputter. Put some high quality fuel injector cleaner in the truck, thinking it may be a injector sticking. Nope, didn't fix the problem. Light never went off. Took it to a dealership, they tested it and came back with your fuel tank is deteriorating putting little metal shards in your engine. You are looking at a potential full engine rebuild costing a minimum of $6000. This is unacceptable for any vehicle manufacturer to not recall a vehicle that has a serious known problem. We are stuck with this truck that is not worth the [xxx] paper the title is written on. It is tiring of reading all these similar complaints and no one is defending the consumers. At what point, does the manufacturer need to be held responsible to own up to the faulty equipment and fix the problems? When my child is killed because of the inability to control the vehicle due to the steering problems in the front end or that it stops running in the middle of the highway or downtown traffic because the fuel tank deteriorated for no reason and destroyed the engine. *tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Was driving on a heavy traffic highway, in the middle lane, and truck just quit running. This is unjustifiable!! Over $5000.00 in repairs to get to get this truck to run! Why hasn't ford issued a recall on this notorious problem on these diesel engines?! I will continue to pursue a class act lawsuit over this, I do believe there are enough ford owners very unhappy regarding these continuing issues.
