THE WIRING HARNESS/ALTERNATOR PLUG CONNECTION IS KNOWN TO SHOW REPEATED INSTANCES OF BURNING,ARCING,MELTING AND VEHICLE FIRES. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS AFTER THIS PART CAUSED A SMALL FIRE IN OUR F150 FORD 1990 TRUCK ON SATURDAY, MAY 10, 2003. A NOTICE INFORMING US ABOUT THIS RECURRING PROBLEM CAME WITH THE NEW ALTERNATOR. THE WIRES/PLUG CONNECTION MELTED AND CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO START ON FIRE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE YOUR AGENCY TO LOOK INTO THIS HAZARD. *NLM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
HAVE BEEN TO FORD DEALER FOR TWO RECALLS, IGNITION AND FUEL REGULATOR. NO CHARGE TO ME. GAS IS STILL COMING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK OF THE TANK "I AM NOT USING, I SWITCH TO THAT TANK AND GAS COMES OUT OF THE OTHER TANK--THAT I AM NOT USING. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND I NEED TO PAY FOR NEW FUEL PUMPS IN EACH TANK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT SINCE THE TRUCK IS GETTING GAS FINE, JUST TO MUCH AND BEING RETURNED TO THE WRONG TANK. NOT BEING RETURNED TO THE TANK THAT IS BEING USED. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND SHOULD NOT COST ME $1000.00. HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME.
