Tsb 19728 - we own a limousine party coach on a 2006 Ford f-550 chassis and had the pleasure of experience the "fuel tank deterioration" and having a total of 16 fuel injectors and 4 gas tanks replaced in a one year period.

The total repair costs on this defect is $5000.00 dollars for the 2 fuel tanks $2000.00 for the injectors $1200.00 in towing and not to mention the loss of revenue because the bus is out of service.

Driver reported that the truck was not running well on return to warehouse. I sent him to dealer with truck. The engine quit on the way and we had to tow the truck to dealer. The dealer said the fuel tank had delaminated and ruined the fuel pump and several fuel injectors. It would cost over $4000 dollars to repair. I called Ford customer service to complain (the truck was only 1400 miles out of warranty) after several days the dealer called and said Ford would bill it as a warranty claim and split the cost with me which meant I would have to pay $1133 dollars. I had no choice but to pay it. In october 2014 the truck did it again at 232886 miles. I took the truck to someone else and was told the fuel tank had delaminated again. It cost $4295 to replace the fuel tank , fuel pump and three

Gas pedal & brake pedal are to close I have a 2006 Ford 500 being on a police dept and reading the news paper and radio you will hear where people have trouble hitting the gas pedal and not the brake pedal. After getting rid of my older Ford pick up and Ford crown vic I had no problem with, I bought a new 2006 Ford 500. Then I found out that when I wear walking shoes, and move my foot from the gas pedal to the brake, it was caught under the brake pedal and gas pedal, and to move it you will hit the gas pedal and the car will move before you can hit the brake again. I have talked to other people with different make of cars also who said they had the same problem with their car while wearing summer sandals and my shoes type. It seems that this may be one reason why you hear so m

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

Brakes on the trailer that I pull did not work properly. The brakes on towed vehicle did not work properly. It was a short in the wiring that Ford installed in the vehicle when built which increased stopping distance very much. The short was fixed for a cost of $582.62 at gaudin Ford. I feel that this should be covered by Ford. I think this is a safety issue.
