Complaint Summary

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Owner Narrative

ONLY 87000 MILES AND THE FUEL TANK IS SHEDDING SILVER PAINT FLAKES, INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM.. HAVE NOW REPLACED ALL THE FILTERS TWICE, PUMP ONCE.. AND THE TANK PRE FILTER HAS TO BE CLOGGED AS NO FUEL WILL EVEN COME OUT.. HAD BEEN A VERY GOOD TRUCK, BUT THIS ENGINEERING CAUSES THE VAN TO JUST DIE!! ON THE ROAD. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM AND ONE THAT FORD AND THEIR ENGINEERS ARE NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR.. REALLY... PAINT INSIDE AT FUEL TANK? WTF ARE THEY THINKING...
