2008 Ford F-350 SD: fuel pump failure

Filed Jan 17, 2014 · Engine, Fuel system · 80,000 miles · MA

Was driving at approximately 40mp when the engine just stopped and lost power. This happened on 2 more occasions. Once while pulling out onto a busy street, and was almost hit by oncoming traffic. Cannot risk injury, so took it right to a reputable local diesel mechanic. Diesel mechanic states that entire fuel system must be replaced. Faulty hi pressure fuel pump disintegrated and sent metal thru fuel system. This will cost $8000 to fix. Was told this was the first year "bug" for a new design. Ford will not replace parts or warranty this. Common on this model, but definitely a safety hazard, as the truck may or may not stall when giving gas. It is unpredictable.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ford f350 super duty truck purchased new. He stated after having a regular oil change, he noticed a large oil spillage coming from under the vehicle. The dealer advised replacing the high pressure fuel pump. The repair caused the oil to leak worse. Within just under a year of the initial failure, the dealer replaced the high pressure fuel pump a second time. Several months later, the contact began to notice the oil leak again. The high pressure fuel pump was replaced a third time. He also stated the bulbs in the exterior lighting elements, including headlights, tail lights and turn signals continued to blow. The dealer could not identify the reason why they continued to fail. While at a stop, while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle would not shift into gears properly. The vehicle would stay in high gear and would not down shift properly. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. No further repairs were made to date. There were no recalls on his vehicle. The failure and current mileages were under 28,000.
