FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANKS THE FRONT TANK WILL LEAK GAS OUT ON TO THE GARAGE FLOOR. THIS CAUSES FUME WHICH ARE DANGEROUS. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS SITUATION. OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER THE STAR TELEGRAM OF FT. WORTH RAN AN ARTICLE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL WEEKS BACK. AS I RECALL IT STATED THAT FORD HAD RECALLED SOME 1990 TO 1993 FORD PICKUPS WITH THE DUAL TANKS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM TRYING TO LOCATE THE ARTICLE AND WILL INFORM YOU IF I AM ABLE TO FIND IT. I WAS GOING TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED THE FORD DEALER PAYTON WRIGHT SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT AND THAT IT WILL COST OVER $1,000.00 TO REPAIR IT. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AS IT COLD VERY EASILY CAUSE A FIRE. *AK

#716930January 5, 2000
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
DUEL TANK PROBLEM UNDER INVESTIGATION BY YOU NOW. PROBLEM CAUSED BY FAULTY CHECK VALVE. ONE FUEL FILTER, ONE FUEL LINE GOING TO ENGINE, TWO FUEL PUMPS (ONE ON EACH TANK). MUST HAVE CHECK VALVE TO KEEP FUEL FROM PUMPING BACK INTO UNUSED TANK. CHECK VALVE FAILURE WILL CAUSE INUSED FUEL TO PUMP INTO UNUSED TANK, OVERFILLING TANK AND CAUSING IT TO LEAK OUT FILL CAP. GAS DRIPS OUT OF FILL CAP. IF VEHICLE HAS DUEL EXHAUST, GAS COULD DRIP ON EXHAUST CAUSING FIRE AND EXPLOSION. DEALER AGREES WITH MY EVALUATION. PLEASE CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM! *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WITH FAILED FUEL PUMP AND REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY. ALL ALONG, WE WERE EXPERIENCING FUEL POURING OUT OF TANK #1 AND FOUND THAT THE GAS WAS BEING SHIFTED FROM TANK #2 TO TANK #1. THERE WAS A RECALL THROUGH MODEL YEARS 1993. MY TRUCK IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN RECALL #93S68. FUEL IS BEING SHIFTED INTO TANK #1 AND SPILLING OUT CONSTANTLY. THIS WAS ONLY NOTICED BECAUSE OF THE FUEL PUMP FAILURE IN TANK #1 BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE TECHNICIAN. UNTIL MY RECENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL, I THOUGHT THIS WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD REPAIR TO. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR (REMOTE CONTROLLED TYPE)VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING REAR VIEWED VEHICLE LIGHTS AT NIGHT TO BOUNCE ALL OVER THE PLACE CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER REPLACED MIRROR THREE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. STATED "FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT, BUT HAS NO FIX, WHY NOT COMPLAIN TO THE DSB". THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO FOR IT UNTIL FORD ACKNOWLEDGES IT AS A DEFECT AND ISSUES A TSB TO US". OKAY I FILLED OUT THE DSB FORM AND A FACTORY REP CAME AND LOOKED AT IT AND STATED: "98% OF ALL F150'S WITH THESE MIRRORS VIBRATE". "THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU." ISSUE IS STILL PENDING BEFORE THE DSB. FORD'S ONLY TSB REF THIS ISSUE SAYS CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AND/OR BUG DEFLECTORS. BOTH OF THESE WERE LOOKED AT, STILL SHAKES. FORD HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM BETWEEN THE DOOR/MIRROR COMBINATION. AND THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. *AK
