#10056948February 10, 2004
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
BOTH FRONT AND REAR FUEL TANKS RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING ON MY 1993 FORD F150 PICKUP AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL FROM FORD FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND MECHANISM FOR TRANSFER OF FUEL FROM THE TANKS.AT THE TIME I TOOK MY PICKUP TO 5 STAR FORD FOR THE RECALL THEY TOLD ME BOTH FUEL TANKS WERE LEAKING AT THE SEAMS OF BOTH TANKS. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS FOR A DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE TRANSFER OF FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO ANOTHER AND CAUSE LEAKAGE AT THE FILLER NECK OF THE TANKS. I BELIEVE THE TANKS ARE LEAKING AT THE SEAMS EITHER BECAUSE OF OVER PRESSURE FROM THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR CAUSING EXCESS PRESSURE IN THE TANKS OR A DEFECTIVE JOINING OF THE TANKS AT THEIR SEAMS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE FIRE AND PROPERTY AND BODY INJURY. I HAVE REQUESTED FORD TO EITHER REPAIR THE FUEL TANKS OR REPLACE THEM BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED. I THINK THERE IS A SERIOUS RISK OF FIRE. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $700 5 STAR FORD WANTED TO PUT TWO NEW FUEL TANKS ON MY PICKUP. PLEASE HELP!*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE STERING COLUMN. ONLY DAMAGE WAS OUR OWN, WITH BURNT WIRES WITHIN THE WIRELOOM UNDER THE DASH. UPON INVESTIGATION BY MY HUSBAND, HE FOUND 7 WIRES MELTED INTO ONE ANOTHER. THE FUSE DID NOT MELT, BUT THE WIRES HAD TOTALLY DISINTIGRATED. THE WIRES ARE TO SMALL FOR THE 15 AMP FUSE THEY ARE ATTACHED TO. WE HAVE HAD THIS BURNING UNDER OUR DASH SEVERAL TIMES IN THIS PAST YEAR. NOT UNTIL THE TAIL LIGHTS REFUSED TO WORK DID WE DO THE DEEPER INVESTIGATION OF THE WIRE LOOM. IN THE MEAN TIME WE HAVE LOST OUR CRUSE CONTROL AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE MIGHT TURN UP. I'VE CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY PERSONALLY ABOUT THE SITUATION. THEY SAY UNTILL FORCED BY A RECALL THERE IS NOTING THEY CAN DO FOR OUR SITUATION. OUR 93 FORD IS WELL OVER IT'S WARRENTY AND WITH 120,000 MILES AND NO RECALL TO DATE FOR MY PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE. REPAIRS WILL HAVE TO BE DONE BY US AND WILL BE REIMBURST UNON ANY FUTURE RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. GOSH, I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE 1993 FORD 150'S ALL DEALING WITH THIS SIMMILAR TYPE OF SITUATION, BURNING AND SMOKE FROM THE STERING COLUMN. ALL THAT IS STATED IS THAT THE SITUATION IS ELECTRICAL. WELL, IT CERTAINLY IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER IS THE SORCE OF THE PROBLEM. USING WIRES TO SMALL FOR THE FUSES THAT THEY INSTALLED IN THEIR VEHICLES. SO LET'S AT LEAST WARN ALL 1993 WEHICLE OWNERS TO THE FACT. WE WILL BE LOOKING TO REPLACE OUR 1993 FORD AS SOON AS WE CAN AFFORD TO DO SO. I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY SOME ELECTRICAL FIRE OR BRAKE FAILLURE OR WHAT EVER. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT THERE WAS A FATALITY IN ONE THE ELECTRICAL COMPLAINS ON THESE 1993 FORD F-150 VEHICLES......THIS IS TO SCARRY....I DO NOT WANT TO OWN ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT!*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
VEHICLE WAS PART OF RECALL 93V125000 TO REPLACE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. RECALL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE REAR FUEL TANK IS USED, IT STILL PUMPS FUEL INTO THE FRONT FUEL TAKE. WHEN THE FRONT TANK FILLS UP, FUEL FLOWS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK BED AND ONTO THE FRAME AND TIRES. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD! *NLM

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
MY 1993 FORD F-150 WAS PART OF RECALL PROGRAM 00S57 TO REPLACE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR IN DUAL TANK TRUCKS TO AVOID FUEL SPILLAGE. THIS WAS DONE 06/19/02 ALTHOUGH NO REDUNDANT CHECK VALVES WERE INSTALLED. THE RECALL REPAIR HAS FAILED AND FUEL IS BACKWASHING FROM THE AFT TANK TO THE MIDSHIP TANK, CAUSING IT TO OVERFLOW. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER(COASTAL FORD) STATES IT IS NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE, AND I CANNOT GET FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO CONTACT ME. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED SUBSEQUENTLY TO OTHERS. PLEASE HELP!
