ON JULY 2, 2011, I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 F350 4X4 FORD TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON A DOWNHILL GRADE AND HIT A POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I LOST CONTROL AND DRIFTED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE APPROACHING. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT BLURRED MY VISION WHILE TRYING TO HOLD ON AND REGAIN CONTROL. THE SHAKING LASTED 10-15 SECONDS AND ONLY STOPPED AFTER I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BELOW 40 MPH. I HAD MY WIFE AND TWO SONS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THIS INCIDENT MAY HAVE CAUSED A CRASH IF THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR IF IT HAD OCCURRED ON A BEND IN THE ROAD. THIS INCIDENT WAS THE MOST VIOLENT EXPERIENCED TO DATE, BUT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS VIOLENT SHAKING ON 3 OTHER OCCASIONS AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I HAD MY TRUCK CAMPER ON THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOOK THE CAMPER SO VIOLENTLY IN THE BED THAT THE TAILGATE DOES NOT FIT PROPERLY ANYMORE DUE TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FLARING OF THE TRUCK BED. I FIRMLY BELIEVE MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS IN MORTAL DANGER WITH THIS EVENT AND I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THEIR TRUCKS. *TR

THE PUBLIC REALLY NEEDS TO BE EDUCATED REGARDING THE FACT THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS COVERING UP ONE OF THE LARGEST PROBLEMS IN THEIR AUTOMOBILE HISTORY REGARDING THEIR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FAILED 2003 THRU 2007 SUPER DUTY 6.0 DIESEL PICKUPS. IF YOU COULD BE SO KIND PLEASE HELP ME AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF THESE FAILED VEHICLES. PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO YOUR SUPERVISORS. I AM CURRENTLY RE-PURSUING LEGAL ACTION ALONG WITH MEDIA COVERAGE TO EXPOSE THIS TERRIBLE SITUATION WITH THESE FORD VEHICLES THAT IS RUINING FAMILY FINANCES WHILE TRYING TO KEEP THESE VEHICLES CONSTANTLY REPAIRED. MANY OWNERS INCLUDING MYSELF OUR BEING FORCED TO BUILD MUCH LESS THAN SAFE LIFTS TO REMOVE THE CABS FROM THESE TRUCKS TO REPAIR THE CONSTANTLY FAILING ENGINE COMPONENTS. I TRIED TO INCLUDE THESE DIGITAL PICTURES CLEARLY INDICATING THE DEADLY CAB LIFTS WE OUR FORCED TO TRY AND BUILD BECAUSE OF THE DEALER COSTS. PLEASE INDICATE HOW I CAN UPLOAD THESE PICTURES FOR YOU REVIEW. FOR 47 YEARS I THOUGHT FORD STOOD FOR FIRST ON RACE DAY. WOW, WAS I COMPLETELY WRONG! IN THE PAST 9 MONTHS I HAVE SPENT OVER $15,000 OUT OF MY POCKET AND BANK LOANS JUST TRYING TO KEEP MY FORD VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO THEIR HORRIBLE ENGINEERING ABILITIES. MY WARRANTY WAS 28 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY AND 80,000 MILES UNDER IN WARRANTY. THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. I REPRESENTED MYSELF IN TWO COURT CASES AGAINST THEM AND LOST. WHEN, NOT IF, I CAN AFFORD AN ATTORNEY, FORD WILL FINALLY BE EXPOSED TO THEIR COVER UPS FROM THE PUBLIC! FORD: FIX OR REPAIR DAILY!! *TR

THE INTER LINER OF THE FUEL TANK DISINTEGRATED CAUSING THE FUEL TO CONTAMINATE THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THE FUEL PUMP. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL PUMP AND ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST BETWEEN $5000 AND $6000 DOLLARS. GAVE THE APPROVAL ON MAY 3RD 2011. AS OF JULY 5TH STILL WAITING ON THE NEW FUEL TANK. FORD HAS HAD SO MANY OF THESE FUEL TANKS FAIL THAT THERE IS A NATIONAL WAITING LIST FOR THE REPLACEMENT TANKS. ADDING INSULT TO INJURY, THIS IS A WORK TRUCK. EVERYDAY IT'S UNAVAILABLE COST THE COMPANY $100.00 TO $150.00 A DAY. ADD THAT INTO THE REPAIR AND NOW IT'S COSTING US 10K TO 12K. AT THIS TIME, WE STILL HAVE NO ANSWER FROM OUR FORD DEALER AS TO WHEN WE CAN EXPECT THE NEW TANK. AT THE VERY LEAST, I THINK FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR.
