2017 FORD F550 Complaints

The CP4 pump in my truck exploded sending metal fragments through the fuel system. I was going 55 mph, it went into low engine power mode and then turned off leaving me stranded on the side on an interstate. This is a known issue with this model. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to this happening. The fuel pump failure is catastrophic.

Ford Motor Company has had a known issue with the truck frames cracking on the F-550 chassis. They acknowledged it by doing a recall, which either replaced or repaired the chassis frame or installed reinforcement braces if no cracks were visible. The recall expired in September of 2023. In October 2023 we noticed a crack on the frame just outside the recall reinforcement brace that Ford-certified technicians installed. We found another in November (reinforcement brace installed) and another in January (with Ford's new and improved frame produced due to a recall issue). Ford has denied making the repairs since the original warranty expired, even though this was the same related issue. We have been dealing with Ford Motor Company since October in hopes of resolving the issue but they continue to give us any resolution. The problem has not only caused a burden on our workforce but also caused great safety concerns. With Ford avoiding responsibility, they are allowing trucks to operate daily on our highway system, which becomes a safety concern for not only the driver but for many other motorists. The problem existed, but the issue was not resolved, all we are asking is that they take responsibility for making the repairs and permanently resolving the issue for the safety of all motorists.

THE FRAME CRACKED, BECAUSE OF "CUSTOMER SATIISFACTION PROGRAM" 21B04 WE INSPECTED OUR FRAME ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE ARE AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. WE SENT PICTURES TO FORD AND THEY SAID WRONG TYPE OF CHASSIS TO BE COVERED. IF YOU LOOK BACK AT a "TEREX" SAFETY NOTICE "SN-610-14" FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2006.
