TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-550 SD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE LATER. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S JOB. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS FAULTY, MELTED, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V270000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,862.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD F-550 SUPER DUTY. WHILE THE LINK WAS IN THE AIR WITH A WORKER LOCATED IN THE BUCKET, THE LINK FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE TRUCK IN QUESTION IS A 2004 FORD F-550 DIESEL. UPON DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL, TRUCK STALLED AND NO LONGER WORKED PROPERLY. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS SUFFERING FROM RUST INSIDE THE TANK. BASED ON THE WORK DONE, RUST PARTICLES THAT FORMED INSIDE THE TANK WERE FORCED THROUGH THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTER DAMAGING BOTH AND CAUSING AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS. I CALLED FORD DIRECTLY TO ASK ABOUT ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL CURRENTLY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE $3000 BILL FROM THEIR INDEPENDENT DEALER. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A TRUCK THAT IS NOT USED FOR PLOWING AND ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES WOULD SUFFER SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE REPLACEMENT TANK WAS MADE OF SOME TYPE OF PLASTIC NOT THE OEM METAL TANK THAT WAS ORIGINALLY USED ON THE TRUCK WHICH MADE ME QUESTION THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY HAD SEEN THIS HAPPEN ON TANKS OF THIS MODEL QUITE OFTEN SO THEY REPLACED THEM WITH A PVC MODEL. UPON FURTHER DISCUSSIONS THROUGH BLOGS AND OTHER ONLINE RESOURCES I WAS ABLE TO FIND A FEW OWNERS OF THE SAME TRUCKS THAT HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THESE DISCUSSIONS PROMPTED ME TO FILE THIS CLAIM. *TR

2004 F550 TRUCKS HAVE THE INSIDE GAS TANKS PAIN OR LINEN, PEELING OR DELAMINATING. THIS CAUSE THE MOTOR TO STALL. BECAUSE ALL THE LITTLE PIECES OF PAINT GOING TO THE INJECTORS.FOR 3 YEARS (2009-2010 AND 2011) IN A ROW, WE NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM OURSELVES COSTING US $3,500 EVERY TIME -THIS YEAR IS THE SAME PROBLEM. LAST YEAR I CALL FORD MOTOR CO, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WERE NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO MAKE A RECALL. BUT IF YOU CHECK GOGGLE.COM AND GO TO 2004 F550 COMPLAINT'S PAGE YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK ON DEC 2004 AND PAID FOR IT $56,000- DOLLARS, WAS NOT A CHEAP TRUCK. ALSO, I WERE TALKING TO A LOT OF F550'S OWNERS ( MOST OF THEM LANDSCAPERS)AND THEY HAD OR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SO..........FORD CO IS WASHING THE HANDS, AND NOT DOING A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

VEHICLE (2004 DIESEL F550 TRUCK) WAS TRAVELING ON I-405 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. DEALER SAYS THAT THE PAINT/LAMINATE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK IS CORRODING AND PIECES OF DEBRIS ARE BEING FED INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM CAUSING SUDDEN STALLING OF VEHICLE. NO OFF-ROAD DIESEL HAS EVER BEEN USED IN THE TANKS--STANDARD DIESEL FUEL ONLY. *TR

THIS YEAR WITH ONLY 49,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK NOW IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO INTO GEAR SOMETIMES.BY THE TIME I CONTACTED MY DEALER HE SAID THAT THE TRUCK WAS OFF WARRANTY. DID THEY SELL CHEAP BEARINGS IN THESE TRUCKS, BECAUSE MY LAST F350 I HAD FOR 14 YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. PROBLEM 2: EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK. WHEN YOU ARE SITTING AT A LIGHT AND GET READY TO GO. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND THEN GOES. *TR

THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED WITH A BLOWN TURBO. FORD DID NOT COVER COST OF REPAIR. I PAID $4,500.00 OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE TURBO. AUGUST 2009 (APPROXIMATELY 68,000 MILES) AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, TRUCK LOSES POWER AND STALLS. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED WITH CLOGGED INJECTORS DUE TO DETERIORATING GAS TANK. DEALER ADVISED ME THAT ALL 8 INJECTORS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND NEW FUEL PUMP INSTALLED. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WOULD BE $4,300.00 AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY FORD. I WAS INCENSED TO SAY THE LEAST...AFTER GETTING A SECOND OPINION, I PAID AN ADDITIONAL $475.00 AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH MADE THE REPAIRS WITHOUT ANY COST TO ME. THE FUEL TANK WAS NOT REPLACED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

WE OWN A FLEET OF FORD DIESEL ENGINE TRUCKS WHICH CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE FUEL DELIVERY PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM IS ENGINE CUT-OFF AND SURGING AND HARD STARTING.

WE PURCHASED A FORD F550 6.0L DIESEL TRUCK NEW IN 2004 AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONES TO DRIVE IT AND HAVE DONE PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START FOR NO REASON ON APRIL 29, 2010 NECESSITATING IT BEING TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED A BAD FICM (FUEL INJECTION CONTROL MODULE) AND REPLACED IT. I HAVE FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM, CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V270000 ON 6/10/05. DUE TO THE LOW MILES AND PROPER CARE OF THIS VEHICLE I AM WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THAT RECALL. WE USE THIS IN OUR WORK AND HAD THE FICM GONE OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT WITH A LOAD OF CHIPS IT COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 F550 FORD TRUCK IN 2005 WITH 13,000 ORGINIAL MILES. I STATRTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT 40,000 MILES WHEN THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I HAVE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS: (1) THE LINER IN THE FUEL TANK SEPARATED FROM THE TANK AND WENT THROUGH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TANK, INJECTORS, AND INJECTOR PUMP. (2) THE HEAD GASKETS BLEW AND THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER. I PLAN ON REPAIRING THE GASKETS THIS WEEK. WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STOPS.

I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL FORD MECHANICS AND THE ABOVE TWO ITEMS ARE ONGOING MAJOR PROBLEMS. I AM LOOKING FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRING THE 6.0 DIESEL ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS A SEVERE HIGHWAY SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO RESOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. THANKS.

DISCOVERED MY F550 SUPERDUTY 6.0 DIESEL AT 94000 MILES WITH 8 MONTHS OVER ITS WARRANTY HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK COMING FROM BOTH SIDES OF ITS 6.0 LITER DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THESE FUMES WERE COMING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AT IDLE. AT THE SAME MILEAGE, DEALER DISCOVERED THAT ENGINE HAD OIL IN COOLANT AND THAT ITS ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE INJECTORS WERE MALFUNCTIONING ALONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND ITS REGULATOR. EXCESSIVE FUEL IN ENGINE, RUNNING VERY LEAN COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO CEASE WHILE DRIVING. DEALER ADVISED THAT OIL IN COOLANT IS COMMON FOR THESE ENGINES AND THAT THIS CAUSES A OTHER MALFUNCTIONS SUCH AS HEAD GASKETS TO GO. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE REPAIRED AT APPROX. $1172. THE OTHER ENGINE WORK WAS NOT REPAIRED AS OF YET DUE TO IT COSTING APPROX. $4240. THE HEAD GASKET WORK WOULD COST ANOTHER $6000.

I OWN TWO 2004 FORD F-550 AND ONE 2003 F-550 SUPERDUTY TRUCKS. INTERIOR FUEL TANK COATING IS DE-LAMINATING AND RUSTING AT AROUND 100,000 MILES. VEHICLES STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING. SILVERY MATERIAL IN WATER SEPARATOR AND FUEL FILTERS. I KNOW OF SEVERAL VEHICLE OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND FORD WILL DO NOTHING. MY VEHICLES STOP SUDDENLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WE WERE LUCKY NO ONE WAS INJURED. I HAVE REPLACED THE 2003 AND ONE 2004 TANK ASSEMBLY. OTHER 2004 IS SHOWING SILVERY RESIDUE ALSO. I KNOW OF A DEALER IN ST LOUIS MO., THAT HAS REPLACED MANY TANKS FOR CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE TANK COATING AND FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THEY (FORD) HAVE KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE SINCE 2005 AND WILL DO NOTHING. DO PEOPLE NEED TO BE HURT/KILLED BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN? IS FORD STILL MAKING THESE TANKS WITH THE DEFECTIVE COATING, IF SO THEY SHOULD BE STOPPED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE A VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS A TSB ON THE FUEL TANK VENT, MY VEHICLES HAVE BEEN TO FORD DEALERS AND THIS WAS NEVER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. DO I HAVE TO ALWAYS ASK IF THERE IS A RECALL, TSB OR WHATEVER OR AM I AT FORD'S MERCY. SMACKS OF A COVER UP AND WILLFUL NEGLIGENCE. *TR

MECHANIC ALERTED US THAT FORD IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL TANK LINERS SEPARATING, AND THAT THEY ARE NOT TAKING CLAIM ON IT. TRUCK FILTER WAS CHANGED AND IT RAN FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH.. WE PULLED THE FUEL FILTER AGAIN ONLY TO FIND "FLAKES" IN THE FILTER AGAIN. SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET SHOWED COUNTLESS PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HAVING TO DISH OUT THOUSANDS IN REPAIR COSTS ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN TO THEM.

ON MARCH 8TH 2007 OUR LINEMEN HAD BROUGHT THIS TRUCK INTO OUR SHOP TO UNLOAD TOOLS BEFORE THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO OUR NEAREST FORD DEALER TO HAVE A U-JOINT FIXED, BEFORE LEAVING THE SHOP THEY NOTICED THAT THE LEFT REAR DUAL WAS ALMOST READY TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION WE DISCOVERED THAT ALL THE LUG NUTS WERE EITHER MISSING, BROKE OFF OR FINGER TIGHT. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER , WE HAD TO HAVE BOTH RIMS REPLACED, THE REAR HUB , ALL THE STUDS AND WHEEL LUG NUTS REPLACED. THE RIGHT REAR DUAL WAS CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE LOOSE BUT NO DAMAGE WAS FOUND AT THIS TIME. LUCKY FOR OUR LINEMEN THAT THEY WERE IN THE SHOP WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED. THEY REPORTED HEARING SOME NOISE COMING FROM THE TRUCK BUT THOUGHT IT WAS THE U-JOINT GETTING WORSE. WE HAVE HEARD OF LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE FORD F-550 WITH REAR DUALS AND WE FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT MORE CLOSELY WITH FORD. *JB

FOLLOW UP TO ORIGINAL COMPLAINT I HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT A MISSED RECALL REPAIR WAS THE REASON FOR THE ENGINE STALLING...AND NOT RESTARTING. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED AND INSPECTED BY HUB CITY FORD...THE MECHANICS FOUND SLIME IN BOTH FUEL TANKS. THE SLIME HAD CLOGGED THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CAUSED THE MOTOR TO STOP. HUB CITY FORD'S PERSONNEL WERE ALL AS SURPRISED AS I WAS. THEY WERE HELPFUL IN SHOWING EXTRA ATTENTION TO THIS...AND HAVE REPAIRED IT ALL. I BELIEVE THE SLIMY SUBSTANCE HAD BEEN PUT IN BEFORE THEY HAD IT...AND BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. POSSIBLY DURING THE PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP. THIS IS TO CLOSE THIS COMPLAINT. I AM SATISFIED WITH ALL HUB CITY FORD HAS TAKEN CARE OF FOR ME...WITH GREAT CARE. THE SALES PERSON I BOUGHT IT WITH...MR. BILL BOUDRIER...THE SERVICE MGR....MR. CARROLL AND THE TECH'S.

NOT TO MENTION THE NOW LOST INCOME FROM IT BEING IN THE WAITING LINE AT HUB CITY FORD...WHERE I HAD IT TOWED. I WAS PROMISED THAT ALL WAS INSPECTED AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER PRIOR TO DRIVING THE TRUCK OFF THE LOT. WELL...IT WASN'T.
