Owner-reported complaints naming the fuel system system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Fuel system reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I HEARD A LARGE BANG. I STOPPED AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING UNTIL I STOPPED FOR GAS. GAS WAS LEAKING OUT THE FILL HOSE AND I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND THE GAS TANK STRAP HAD BROKE AND THE TANK WAS VERILY HANGING ON. I PURCHASED TWO STRAPS TO HOLD THE TANK IN PLACE UNTIL I COULD GET TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT FORD RECALLED THE 150 AND 250 MODELS FOR. LUCKILY FOR ME THE TANK DID NOT RUPTURE AND CATCH FIRE. THE 350 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

DRIVING AT 73 MPH ON US 131 EXPRESS WAY MY TRUCK ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST ALL POWER TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. CAUSING MY ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AND CAUSING ME TO LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. CAUSING ME TO TAKE EVASIVE MEASURES TO KEEP FROM GETTING REAR ENDED AND BRAKING WITH BOTH FEET TO GET THE TRUCK SAFELY STOPPED. IN HAVING MY TRUCK REPAIRED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY FOUND THAT THE COMPUTER MODULE PART NUMBER XC3Z-12B599-AA SHORTED OUT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN. WHEN CHECKING OVER THE MODULE MYSELF. I FOUND A METAL VENT CAP COMING OFF FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE MODULE IN TIPPING THE UNIT OVER WATER CAME DRIPPING OUT OF THE MODULE. THIS MODULE IS LOCATED BEHIND THE WHEEL WELL ON THE FIREWALL OF THE TRUCK. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFFECTIVE AND HAZARDOUS DESIGN. THAT COULD/SHOULD BE FIXED SO THAT OTHER INCIDENTS DO NOT HAPPEN.
