2007 Ford E-450 Problems

EMPLOYEES WERE DRIVING TRUCK ON A LEVEL ROAD, AND IT RAPIDLY LOST POWER. THEY STOPPED AND CALLED ME, AND I TOLD THEM TO CHECK A NUMBER OF THINGS. EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS RUSTED/RUSTING ON THE INSIDE. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE TANK, SENDING UNIT, AND FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BEFORE THEY COULD SEE IF THE INJECTORS, FUEL LINES, AND TURBO WERE DAMAGED. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET BEFORE AUTHORIZING THE REPAIRS, AND WAS ASTOUNDED BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. THE TANKS ARE DEFECTIVE, AND DELAMINATE, THEREFORE CLOGGING THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY REPAIR BILL THAT I WAS QUOTED BEFORE WE EVEN GOT TO THE ENGINE, WAS $3700.00+TAX!!!. THIS IS UNREAL THAT THE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED A RECALL YET. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? SOME PEOPLE REPORTED REPAIR BILLS OF $11,000+!! I AM A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. I PAID $45,000.00 FOR THIS VEHICLE, MAINTAINED IT RELIGIOUSLY. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA, AND IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT FOR SOME TIME. THERE ARE ALSO SOME CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS THAT ARE IN PLACE. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. I WILL GET A PETITION GOING TO ASK THE NHTSA TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. IF THE NHTSA KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND SOMEONE HAS AN ACCIDENT AND KILLS SOMEONE, WOULD THAT NOT HAVE THE NHTSA SHOULDER SOME BLAME? IS THIS ANOTHER COVER UP LIKE THE GENERAL MOTORS IGNITION RECALL? I URGE YOU TO PLEASE RECALL THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES. FORD KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND THEY IMMEDIATELY BLAME IT ON FUEL. I HAVE 6 TRUCKS THAT ALL RUN ON DIESEL. THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM IS THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE FROM THIS AGENCY TO CONTACT ME ASAP. THIS TRUCK IS A MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME FOR ME AND MY EMPLOYEES, AND IT I SITTING AT A DEALER FOR 5 DAYS SO FAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD E450. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING IN FEBRUARY OF 2009 AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER. SHE WAS INFORMED THAT BECAUSE THE COMPANY WAS EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES, THEY WOULD CHARGE HER $300 PER REPAIR. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT REPAIRED, A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE COULD OCCUR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 1,500.

WHILE ON A TRIP AND WHILE RETURNING HOME THE R/R INSIDE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWAY. I WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY 231, A 4 LANE HIGHWAY,. I WAS TRAVELING 65MPH AT THE TIME OF THE TIRE FAILURE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE FLORIDA WELCOME CENTER LOCATED ON THE FLORIDA ALABAMA LINE. I HAD TO CALL SOMEONE OUT TO CHANGE THE TIRE. AFTER RETURNING HOME TO PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA I TOOK THE VEHICLE AND TIRE BACK TO PEP BOYS TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I ADVISED THE SERVICE WRITER THAT I HADE PURCHASED ROAD HAZARD INSURANCE WHEN I PURCHASED THE TIRES AND ADVISED HIM AS TO WHAT HAPPENED AND HE ADVISED ME THAT TIRE SEPARATION WAS NOT A ROAD HAZARD AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 50.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED. THE TIRES I BOUGHT FOR MY MOTOR HOME WERE DEFINITY DAKOTA H/T LT 225 75R 16. THE SERVICE WRITER ADVISED ME THAT THEY NO LONGER SOLD THIS TIRE AND REPLACED IT WITH A COOPER TIRE. THEY PUT THE TIRE THAT WAS ON THE R/R OUTSIDE AT THE TIME OF THE INSIDE TIRE FAILURE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL AND PUT THE NEW TIRE ON THE OUTSIDE. NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE R/R INSIDE TIRE NOT HOLDING AIR. I FEEL THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE TO USE ON ANOTHER TRIP. THE SERVICE WRITER DID NOT LOOK TO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
