What owners wrote
Driving through a farm field and something hit the oil pan and cracked it with a hair line fracture, 1/8 inch, and oil leaking. No visable damage or marking until pulled from truck, even than no marks but a slight dent in plastic. No other visable damage anywere else under truck. Asked if all oil pans are plastic and I was told by dealer, yes. This is a truck designed to for off road heavy duty work.
I got on the highway and was doing a turnaround when I accelerated to enter the highway lanes a warning light that said reduced engine power appeared on my dash. Approximately 200' later my truck died on the highway. My high pressure fuel pump went out and apparently disintegrated sending aluminum shavings throughout my entire fuel system. The fix is to replace the entire fuel system at a cost of $11,200. The ford company is claiming the fuel was contaminated and caused the pump to rust and go out.
