While driving the vehicle on the expressway in michigan, it suddenly began losing power. After frequently stopping and restarting the engine, the truck stopped completely. When the dealership investigated the cause, they found specks of paint in the diesel fuel. When the factory installed gas tank was dropped, it was discovered that the coating inside the fuel tank was flaking off and had plugged the fuel filters, contaminated the fuel as well as damaging 3 inverters.. When investigating if others have same complaint, we found many others have had the same problem. Luckily we were not pulling our rv.

Have had this vehicle for 5 years. Bought used from a dealer. Have had problems with it from day 1. Recently, today as matter of fact, driving down the highway, cannot accelerate above 40 mph. This is the 3rd time in just as many weeks that this truck has had to be towed to a certified mechanic. The mechanic has run all or any problems through a state of the art code reader, every time coming up with no code. After many discussions and guesses, we both started to wonder if the ford dealership found a way to bypass the on board diagnostics finding it odd that every time it was scanned no codes came up. Today it was determined that there is a faulty fuel tank due to delamination. Now why in the world does that not show up in any of the scans related to fuel system problems. These faulty tanks are not covered under any warranty, all out of pocket. Which just led to replacing not only the fuel tank, but the fuel filters, the fuel injectors, all fuel lines, luckily not the engine itself. I have owned fords my entire adult life. 4 of them being diesels, and all of them being the 6.0l shame on me for being fooled that many times. But how are they able to always get away with getting around the problem. It is fact that there is a problem with the fuel system in these particular models, and it is proven in every invoice for a major repair related to this fuel related problem in all 6.0l. The service manager at the ford dealership always told me "you got the bad egg in that batch". I still haven't seen 1 6.0l that has not had this problem. Are we wrong for saying this needs to be investigated and action taken for having to spend thousands sometimes more then once to fix an obvious defect on the manufactures end? Curious minds would like to know. Thank you for your time and hopefully considering looking into this farther. *tr

My truck was parked for an hour and a half in 55 degree raining weather. I was unloading my show horses and had my three dogs in the cab of the truck. Suddenly someone alerted me that the cab was filled with smoke. We were able to get the three dogs out. They had to be treated for smoke inhalation via hyperbaric chamber treatment. Unfortunately one dog died 24 hours later due to brain damage from lack of oxygen. According to the fire department, my car seat heater malfunctioned and ignited. My car seat was part of the longhorn king ranch custom interior that ford had installed before selling me the truck. Please feel free to contact me if i can provide any more information. *tr

Driving at approx. 35-40 mph truck lost power and stalled . I cranked several times and then it started . I drove about another mile and this repeated twice ,then i was calling a wrecker for a tow. My mechanic discovered the fuel filter & pump was contaminated with a sludge and then looked in the fuel tank and discovered the fuel tank was flaking from the inside , manufacture defect. The cost of parts and repair was $2100.00 , the tank is a 40 gal tank that holds diesel fuel at $ 4.25 per gal. My work associate has the same vehicle and now the same thing happened to him,he will also be filling a report with his win. # ,now we are hearing several of the same occurrences.
