SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT IS THAT MY TRUCK HAS A DAMAGED CHECK VALVE. I HAVE SPENT MY OWN MONEY TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM, YET IT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS I HAVE A DAUL TANK SYSTEM. WHEN I SWITCH MY TANK TO THE REAR IT PUMPS GAS TO THE MOTOR BUT ALSO PUMPS GAS INTO THE FRONT TANK CAUSING IT TO OVERFLOW, THUS CREATING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZERED FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECAL ON SUCH A DEFFECT. YET MY MECHANICE PULLED UP A DOCUMENT OFF HIS COMPUTER UNDER THE (2000 MITCHELL REPAIR INFORMATION CO. L.L.C.) UNDER SAFTY RECALL #93S68 WHICH ADDRESSES THIS VERY PROBLEM. I BELEVE IT IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTEN, AND AM ASKING YOU TO GET FORD TO FIX THIS DEFECT BEFORE MY TRUCK GOES ABLAZE.*AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON SUNDAY AUG 6, 2000, I STARTED HEARING A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK AND IT START SHAKING AND VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INVESTIGATED. I FOUND THAT MOST OF THE TREAD HAD SEPARTED FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ONLY LEAVING A PORTION FLAPING. AIR WAS STILL IN THE TIRE AND I MANAGE TO DRIVE TO MY MOTHER HOUSE THAT WAS NOT FAR AWAY. THERE WAS SIGNICANT DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK, THE TWO TAILPIPES WAS BENT UPWARD, THE BED OF THE TRUCK HAD A HUMP FROM THE IMPACT AND THE REAR FENDER WAS COMPLETELY TORN AND CRUSHED FROM THE IMPACT. I CALLED FIRESTONE ABOUT THEIR TIRE AND TALKED TO SOMEONE FROM PRODUCT LIABILITY. THEY SENT OUT ANDY CORNEIL FROM CUSTARD INSURANCE ADJUSTERS P.O. BOX 531288 BIRMINGHAM AL. (205)871-1023, FAX (205) 870-4019 TO INVESTIGATE MY CLAIM. I HAVE TAKEN THE REMAINING FIREHAWK TIRES OFF MY TRUCK AND REPLACE THEM WITH GOODYEAR TIRES. I ALSO REPLACED THE EXHAUST PIPES. I HAVE PICTURES THAT ANDY CORNEIL TOOK AND HE GAVE ME A RECEIPT FOR MY TIRES AND RIM, SO HE CAN SEND IT BACK TO FIRESTONE FOR THEM TO PERFORM SOME KIND OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE TEST TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF FAILURE. AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT MR. CORNEIL TO ME. AS OF THE SUBMITTING OF THIS REPORT, I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM FIRSTONE. APPRECIATE ANY HELP, SINCERELY, JOSHUA HOLDERFIELD( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 31X1050R15 )
