Truck runs rough, check engine light come on, fuel sensor error. There seems to be quite a few similar complaints. Dealers stated fuel tanks are corroding. Why has there not been a recall? This is a manufacturing problem. Ford should deal with it or made to.

My truck starting losing power little by little over a short period of time. The check engine light came on & I took it to the ford dealership.they advised me that the egr system was failing & the cost is $2500.00. They also told me that ford knew about the problem & should have recalled this problem..now I can't drive my truck without worrying about engine failure (until it's fixed)..interstate travel is just about non=existent for now..I will not let my wife drive it anymore for now...this truck only has 75,000 miles on it & for now is not safe to drive anywhere but short distances...

This a f350 king ranch diesel. The vehicle suffered a severe loss of power and was limped in (10 MPH) to rokstad ford in sandpoint, id. They diagnosed low fuel injector pressure and replaced the fuel control module. The vehicle was driven home and the check engine light came on. Low injection pressure was diagnosed and an oil pressure line was replaced. The check engine light came back on the next day as well as intermittent loss of power experienced and low injector pressure was still the problem. A sensor was replaced. The light came back on the same day. The problem has not been corrected.
