This is a 2006 ford ambulance that has been having issue's with the fuel system over the past two years the most recent was during a emergency response when the ambulance lost power and shut down the crew was unable to complete their response to the emergency because the ambulance would not restart. The ambulance was towed to the ford dealership they reported the fuel tank was coming apart on the inside and clogging the fuel system. We contacted ford and complain of all the fuel problem and the most resent the fuel tank the end result was their claiming its not their problem but ours the repair est is over $7000.00 this ambulance has spent more time in the shop then responding to emergency calls and has left our crews sit while in route or on the scene of medical emergency. The ford dealer and ford motor company refuse to do anything to correct this problem we have never had these type of problems with any ambulance we owned over the past 15 years and a ambulance breaking down in the middle of a emergency call is a dangerous issue to the patient and crew ......

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.
