FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 1992 FORD F150 SUPERCAB 4X4 TRUCK WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS. I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. LAST WEEK, I FILLED THE REAR TANK, DROVE 30 MILES TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, AND MY FUEL GAUGE WAS REGISTERING 1/2 OF A TANK. ON THE 30 MILE DRIVE HOME, THE FUEL GAUGE WENT FROM 1/2 TO EMPTY. I ASSUMED THAT I HAD LOST THE SENSOR IN THE REAR TANK AS WELL. LAST NIGHT, ON THE DRIVE HOME, I REFUELED MY REAR TANK JUST TO BE SURE I HAD ENOUGH FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS MORNING, WHEN I EXITED MY TRUCK AT WORK, FUEL WAS POURING OUT OF THE FRONT TANK FILL CAP. WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THE CAP TO RELEASE PRESSURE, FUEL SHOT OUT APPROXIMATELY 1-2 FEET. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FOUND RECALL ID 93V12500. WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECORD OF A RECALL FOR THIS. I THEN CONTACTED NHTSA, WHO INFORMED ME TO CONTACT FORD MANUFACTURING. I CONTACTED FORD, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT FALL UNDER A RECALL, AND WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, I WAS REFUSED AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WOULD BE DONE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL FROM THE REAR TANK OF MY TRUCK IS SOMEHOW GETTING INTO THE FRONT TANK. IN LOOKING INTO THIS I FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 01I008000 WHICH DESCRIBES THIS EXACT CONDITION. I CONTACTED FORD AT THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION AND THE FORD REPRESENTATIVE TELLS ME THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED BY THIS CAMPAIGN. WHEN I ASKED HOW VEHICLES GET ASSIGNED TO CAMPAIGNS SHE SAID IT IS DONE BY NHTSA. THEREFORE I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO TRY TO GET MY TRUCK REPAIRED UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY FORD F-150 1992 AND I STOPPED AT LOWES. I CUT MY TRUCK OFF AND PROCEEDED INTO THE STORE. I COME BACK OUTSIDE AND MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. SEVERAL EMPLOYEES ATTEMPTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE BUT IT DID NOT WORK. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME AND PUT IT OUT. THEY THEN STATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND FILLED IT AS THAT. MY WORK IS NOW GONE DUE TO THAT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IF POSSIBLE PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY TRUCK IS MY MONEY MAKER AND NOW IT IS GONE. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
I OBSERVED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WAS WARPED. I REMOVED THE ASSEMBLY FROM THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE INTERIOR OF THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS BURNT AND MELTED TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS NOT RECOGNIZABLE. THE INSULATION WAS MELTED OFF ALL THE WIRES, WHERE IT EXITED THE WIRING LOOM. THE WIRE INSIDE THE LOOM WAS GROOVED AS IF THE LOOM HAD WORN THROUGH THE WIRE, THE APPARENT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FUSE WAS BLOWN. I HAD TO CUT THE LOOM, REPLACE THE WIRE, REPLACE THE SOCKETS AND TAIL LIGHT LENS. I HAVE PICTURES. *NM
