#716631December 29, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH
WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE SWITCH IS IN OFF POSITION. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE IN THE CASE OF MY FATHER'S RANGER, THE WASHER FLUID WOULD SPRAY UNEXPECTEDLY AS WELL, THEREBY SMEARING THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSING LOSS OF VISIBILITY. BOTH OUR TRUCKS WERE DIAGNOSED WITH FAULTY MULTIFUNCTION SWITCHES. A RECALL FOR THIS PART SHOULD BE ISSUED AS THERE IS A HIGH NUMBER OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS SITE FOR VARIOUS FORD VEHICLES CONTAINING THE SAME PART. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
TRUCK HAS DUAL FUEL TANKS. WHEN RUNNING OFF OF THE FRONT TANK IT WILL PUMP GAS TO THE REAR TANK, OVERFILLING IT AND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. RECALL #93V125000 SHOULD COVER THIS PROBLEM BUT FORD SAYS MY TRUCK VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. TRUCK WAS PURCHASED USED IN JUNE 1999 FROM A PRIVATE PARTY AND HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT. PLEASE TRY TO MAKE FORD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
ON DEC 26, 1999 I READ IN THE HARTFORD COURANT ABOUT AN INVESTIGATION ON FORD PICK-UP TRUCKS F-150 FOR THE YEARS 1990-1993 FOR FUEL TANK LEAKAGES. I HAD TO PAY $538.55 TO HAVE MY FUEL TANK REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK ON 5-24-99. WHEN I CALLED FORD TODAY, 12-27-99, THEY COULD NOT HELP ME, AND SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT THE NUMBERS RECALLED. I CALLED YOUR WASHINGTON PHONE NUMBER AND THE LADY TOLD ME TO FILL OUT THIS FORM ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE ADVISE ME. I BELIEVE MY TRUCK IS AMONG THE TRUCKS YOU ARE INVESTIGATING. THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED BY WILLIAMS FORD IN WEST HTFD,, AND WE HAVE A COPY OF THE BILL IF NEEDED. PLEASE LET US KNOW THE RESULTS OF YOUR INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER. *AK
