AFTER RETURNING HOME TO PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA I TOOK THE VEHICLE AND TIRE BACK TO PEP BOYS TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

EMPLOYEES WERE DRIVING TRUCK ON A LEVEL ROAD, AND IT RAPIDLY LOST POWER. THEY STOPPED AND CALLED ME, AND I TOLD THEM TO CHECK A NUMBER OF THINGS. EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS RUSTED/RUSTING ON THE INSIDE. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE TANK, SENDING UNIT, AND FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BEFORE THEY COULD SEE IF THE INJECTORS, FUEL LINES, AND TURBO WERE DAMAGED. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET BEFORE AUTHORIZING THE REPAIRS, AND WAS ASTOUNDED BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUES. THE TANKS ARE DEFECTIVE, AND DELAMINATE, THEREFORE CLOGGING THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY REPAIR BILL THAT I WAS QUOTED BEFORE WE EVEN GOT TO THE ENGINE, WAS $3700.00+TAX!!!. THIS IS UNREAL THAT THE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED A RECALL YET. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? SOME PEOPLE REPORTED REPAIR BILLS OF $11,000+!! I AM A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. I PAID $45,000.00 FOR THIS VEHICLE, MAINTAINED IT RELIGIOUSLY. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT....
