Owing a diesel pick-up we have to add cetane booster to every tank of fuel to boost the cetane percentage to keep the engine operating at peak performance. I use only "motorcraft cetane booster & performance improver', it comes in a 20 oz bottle. The issue is there's a round cardboard under the cap that's supposed to stay there to prevent it from leaking, it doesn't. It sticks to the bottle and if you aren't paying attention it will go into your fuel tank and get stuck in the fuel pump and shut down the truck. It happen to me while driving. I was stranded 3 times till I found a ford dealership who could figure it out. I look online and it's happened many times to other owners and ford won't do anything about it. I had to pay for a tow and the labor to get it repaired. It's thousands of dollars and dangerous. The truck will go into limp mode then shut off. Thank god I was on a 35 MPH road. If I was on the freeway driving at 70 the power steering and the power breaking will shut off, super hard to control, very dangerous. The truck weighs about 6,500 lbs. . I've read online it has happened a lot. Ford needs to stand behind their product and create a bottle that doesn't fall apart. If my wife was driving the truck in traffic somebody could have been hurt or killed. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was driving out of state (ny) when an alert stated "low fuel pressure) and the vehicle slowed to 5-10 MPH while traveling on the interstate. Upon exiting, the vehicle stopped running leaving me and my family stranded. I had it towed to a local shop which informed me the bosch high pressure fuel pump was not delivering the required pressure (/,000 psi). Upon contacting the ford dealership where the vehicle was purchased, I was informed the vehicle exceeded warranty miles (100,000/129,239) and the cost of the pump was $1,245 with exchange prior to labor charges. In all, ford dealer wants nearly $5,000 to repair the pump which was poorly designed.

I own a 2015 ford f-350sd with approximately 42,000 miles that I bought from the ford dealer in september of 2018. So, I haven't even owned the truck a year yet. On july 12, 2019 I was driving down i15 headed to a camping trip. All of a sudden, my check engine light came on and then a message saying reduced engine power and my truck went from 70mph to 5mph and just barely got me off the interstate. I had the truck towed to the ford dealer where I purchased it. They diagnosed it and said there's metal throughout the fuel system, the hpfp is going bad and wearing out, there is also rust and water in the fuel rail. In order to fix the problem, the bill will be a little over $11,000. In december right after I bought the truck, I took it into the ford dealer and had them fully service the truck, check the oil, change both fuel filters, etc. I have all receipts to show ford that I have maintained the truck. I have fully maintained the truck and have drained the water separator monthly since I purchased the truck. I have done everything on my part to make sure the truck is well cared for and maintained. I have now been fighting with ford corporate for 5 weeks now and they are saying this issue isn't covered by warranty. It's a shame that you buy a truck from the ford dealer with a 100,000 mile warranty and now ford is claiming that this issue isn't covered by warranty. This is a known faulty fuel pump that wears out prematurely and is costing consumers tens of thousands of dollars to repair and ford will not stand behind their warranty! This is a shame and ridiculous on fords end!
