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

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

Problem 1: in 2004 I purchased a new ford F-550 with the gasoline V10. About one month after owning the truck the through-out bearing on the clutch started making noise and has done so. 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

04 ford F550 sd dump truck was bought new on 12/04.. In april 2005 transmission leaked fluid while in park and truck was towed to dealer. The dealer claimed cause of problem was due to loose bolts on trans case. Transmission continued to slip but dealer could not find problem. February 2006, approximately 16,000 miles on truck, transmission completely fails. Truck towed to dealership and new transmission installed. On june 2008 (approximately 56,000 miles) while driving on major highway, truck begins to lose power and black smoke pours out of muffler. 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. I replaced the tank and paid $750.00 out of pocket...december 27, 2010 (96,000 miles) without warning, transmission begins to slip. I contacted the ford dealership that made the last repairs. I was told the transmission was out of warranty and would not be covered by ford. It would cost $4,200.00 to replace. I took truck to a local transmission repair shop and paid $3,000.00 to rebuild transmission. Its obvious that ford does not back up their product. I will never buy another ford again!!!! *Tr

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 have contacted my dealer and went through their assistance program. They did not help with the repairs. I have contacted ford's customer complaint division and experienced the same results. 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. ford said it would not cover the repairs because I was the second owner. bbb complaint filed and in search for class action law suit to cover repairs only. *tr

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

In a june 7, 2005 letter, ford notified odi that it would be conducting a safety recall of approximately 180,000 ford f-super duty, excursion and e-series vehicles equipped with 6.0L diesel engines to correct two wiring related conditions that could result in engine stall (nhtsa recall no. 05V-270, ford no. 05S34).the affected vehicles were built between september 29, 2003 and may 31, 2004.according to ford, vehicles with the conditions may stall without warning and may or may not restart.ford will instruct owners of vehicles included in the recall to take their vehicles to a dealer to have the fuel injector control module wire harness upgraded or replaced and or have a new injection control pressure sensor connector installed.during a may 2005 presentation to odi, ford identified a number of potential failure mechanisms that could affect engine performance in various segments of the subject vehicle population, including the wiring conditions addressed by 05v-270.the wiring conditions, which both affect engine fueling, were the most likely conditions to result in engine stall.the recalled vehicles comprise approximately 43% of the subject vehicle population and account for 75 of the 113 odi reports that have a valid vin (66%).the voq complaint rate for the recall population IS 45/100k while the rate for vehicles outside the recall population IS 17/100k and their trend (by date of receipt) IS declining.based on the analysis, odi believes ford?s actions are sufficient to address the current safety risks and the investigation IS thus closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety related defect does not exist.further action will be taken if warranted by future circumstances.
