Read complaints for FORD F-550 SD (2006)
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.
Have had this vehicle for 5 years.bought used from a dealer.have had problems with it from day 1.recently, today as matter of fact, driving down the highway, cannot accelerate above 40 mph.this is the 3rd time in just as many weeks that this truck has had to be towed to a certified mechanic.the mechanic has run all or any problems through a state of the art code reader, every time coming up with no code.after many discussions and guesses, we both started to wonder if the ford dealership found a way to bypass the on board diagnostics finding it odd that every time it was scanned no codes came up.today it was determined that there is a faulty fuel tank due to delamination.now why in the world does that not show up in any of the scans related to fuel system problems.these faulty tanks are not covered under any warranty, all out of pocket.which just led to replacing not only the fuel tank, but the fuel filters, the fuel injectors, all fuel lines, luckily not the engine itself.i have owned fords my entire adult life.4 of them being diesels, and all of them being the 6.0lshame on me for being fooled that many times.but how are they able to always get away with getting around the problem.it is fact that there is a problem with the fuel system in these particular models, and it is proven in every invoice for a major repair related to this fuel related problem in all 6.0l.the service manager at the ford dealership always told me "you got the bad egg in that batch".i still haven't seen 1 6.0lthat has not had this problem.are we wrong for saying this needs to be investigated and action taken for having to spend thousands sometimes more then once to fix an obvious defect on the manufactures end?curious minds would like to know.thank you for your time and hopefully considering looking into this farther.
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 meanti 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 fuel injectors. This is a well known , widespread problem (google it on the internet ) and i think ford should issue a recall and reimburse owners for all expenses , including rentals while repairs were made.
While driving the vehicle on the expressway in michigan, it suddenly began losing power.after frequently stopping and restarting the engine, the truck stopped completely.when the dealership investigated the cause, they found specks of paint in the diesel fuel.when the factory installed gas tank was dropped, it was discovered that the coating inside the fuel tank was flaking off and had plugged the fuel filters, contaminated the fuel as well as damaging 3inverters.. When investigating if others have same complaint, we found many others have had the same problem.luckily we were not pulling our rv.

Fuel problems with a 2006 ford f550 dump truck. Have ongoing problems with truck not running properly. First incident sensors were replaced and i was told that was the problem.now being told about a delamination problem with the gas tank and ford is aware but refuses to do anything about it including not honoring the warranty that is still active on the truck. Contacted ford customer service and they claim the issue is related to bad diesel fuel which makes no sense to me as all of my trucks are refueled at the same station.

This has been an on going problem and am not getting any where with ford. Red hill ford told me he never heard of this type of problem,norristown ford have fuel tanks stacked 10' high,that the replaced for customers because who ever ford got to coat the inside of fuel tanks ,did a poor job. I have the normal warranty and the extended warranty.i have paid $50,000 for this vehicle and i'm afraid to drive it for fear of an accident. Water in fuel sensor keeps coming on and when i drain the water separator the light goes out, their are no signs of metal flakes in the fuel system ford is blaming the fuel but they wont test my fuel something is very fishy ?

I own a 2006 ford f-550 diesel pick-up truck. Bought the truck when it was new. At 4,000 miles several of the injectors went bad. Over the past few years i have had to replace the fuel filter 7 different times in order to get the truck to run right. Or what i thought was right. It never has gotten very good fuel mileage, and i now know why. A few weeks ago the truck started running horrible. I took the fuel filter off, as well as captured the fuel into a clean glass jar. It was full of what appears to be silver flakes as well as rust from the inside of the fuel tank. Needless to say it has also clogged the injectors. The truck is starving for fuel. Ford said the tank needed to be replaced, however, at our expense. Through further research i now find out this problem is all over the us. (i have also contacted the ftc about this) the tanks are delaminating. In other words, they are rotting. Every article i have read describes the same exact issues. Ford claimed that nothing was wrong with the tank. I took it to a local radiator shop, and they said the whole top of the tank is completely rusted out. The laminate that was put on at the factory is falling off into the tank, then running through the entire fuel system. This continues to be at the expense of the consumer, on a product that clearly is defective!!! what is it going to take, my wife breaking down with this truck, and getting killed while she waits for help??? this is a national problem. Their are thousands of people with fleets of ford trucks that are all having the same issues. These tanks need to be recalled. It is very wrong that we the consumer should have to continue paying for repairs on a defective product. Most of these vehicles cost more than your average home. This is not a small problem. It has happened to fleets of ambulances. I sure hope i don't have a family member that needs to be transported to the hospital by one of these defective vehicles, and they break down on the way to the hospital.
We have a 2006 ford 550 diesel with 37,000 miles on it. The fuel tank has corroded and affected the fuel pump and fuel injectors. The dealership invalidated my warranty, said we used bad diesel in the tank. We have other vehicles on the same fuel, with no issues. This is my 15th ford truck. This is my first truck with this kind of issue. Ford said it would cost me $6,500 to repair. The internet is full of trucks with this same issue. A recall.
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. Ford refuses to acknowledge that this is a defect in the fuel tank.there are hundreds of people experiencing the same problem throughout the country. The first time the vehiclewas under warranty for the repair "as a courtesy" and now one year later the same problem has occurred and now they refuse to warranty or do anything about it! 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.ford is trying to blame the diesel fuel which is state regulated in new jersey. This is a tool for our business and the maintenance is our highest priority so we do not use cheap fuel. We have spoken to ford corp in ny & detroit and they keep denying responsibility. This is unacceptable as this vehicle is a 2006 with only 37k miles on the clock.please do something to protect the people trying to make a living!
The contact owns a 2006 ford f550 superduty diesel truck.the contact stated that his vehicle was running roughly and was difficult to start.the dealer suggested that the primary fuel filter was clogged with rust because the fuel tank was laminated with rust inside.the dealer wants to remove the tank from the vehicle so that it can be realigned and installed again.the contact would have to pay $650 for this service.the vehicle is still under warranty, but the dealer does not want to repair the vehicle under the warranty.the manufacturer is ignoring the contact.the failure mileage was 22,000.

Driving at approx. 35-40 mph truck lost power and stalled . I cranked several times and then it started . I drove about another mile and this repeated twice ,then i was calling a wrecker for a tow.my mechanic discovered the fuel filter & pump was contaminated with a sludge and then looked in the fuel tank and discovered the fuel tank was flaking from the inside , manufacture defect. The cost of parts and repair was $2100.00 , the tank is a 40 gal tank that holds diesel fuel at $ 4.25 per gal. My work associate has the same vehicle and now the same thing happened to him,he will also be filling a report with his win. # ,now we are hearing several of the same occurrences. It sounds like ford needs to do a recall / class action law suit, reimbursement !!! the defect is costing consumer thousands of dollars and additional expenses.

I have had continuous problems with two f550 diesel trucks that i own.they both have had constant problems with lack of power/no power while under it's manufactured warranty and now with no warranty.while driving down the road the truck will loose all power.the vehicles have been repaired at a ford dealership on all occasions until i could no loner deal with the continued problems after spending thousands of dollars and them telling me it's fixed and months down the line or weeks at times the trucks are still having the same problems.since oct 2010 i have had the same vehicle worked on by two independent mechanics.every time while in the shop i have had to replace multiple injectors.finally after thousands and thousands of dollars worth of work and down time i have found an independent mechanic that literally tore the vehicle apart to find the culprit of this continuous problem.he pulled the fuel filter which had been changed just two weeks prior to him getting the truck with these issues and it was literally covered in silver particles.so bad that there were creases in the filter where the fuel was trying to get through the filter but could not.the fuel tank is delaminating which has been causing a restricted fuel issue with the truck which in return knocks out fuel pumps and blows injectors.thus when this happens the truck completely looses power while you are driving speeds of 55 plus down the road with no warning to you or all the other vehicles behind you.this is a very serious matter in which i believe ford is very aware of and from what i have gathered on the internet inreading about my problems refuses to do anything about it and blames the consumer of where they buy their fuel.i have been told numerous times when complaining to the dealership of the same problems that it where i purchase my fuel.i have all my receipts as well as the fuel filter that is coated with silver shaving.
We own a 2006 f-550 ford dump truck. With 22,000.00 miles on it. It was in the shop last year because of no turbo power. Dealer couldn't figure the problem out.

Filters lines failed/clogged. Had to replace fuel tank and fuel filters. Flushed out sending unit and fuel lines. It cost me $2,105.91 out of my pocket. I called ford customer relations dept. And was told this is not ford's problem that it is the fuel that did the damage. This problem should be a recall problem with this truck. It is still under warranty and they won't pay !

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 fuel injectors. This is a well known , widespread problem (google it on the internet ) and i think ford should issue a recall and reimburse owners for all expenses , including rentals while repairs were made.
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.
Gas pedal & brake pedal are to closei have a 2006ford 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 ihad no problemwith,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 andthe 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 much of this happening to people now days, and that is, the gas & brake pedal are to close to one another.
