FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, 91V-146 THE DEALER CLAMS NO RECORD OF RECALL, BUT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR 10 YEARS NOW. FORD SAYS RECALLS DONT EXPIRE, BUT SINCE NO RECORD DUE TO IT BEING A 1991 GARY YOEMANS FORD WILL NOT FIX. VEHICLE HAD 60,000 ORIGIONAL MILES ON IT DUE TO LACK OF DRIVABILITY FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS, SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
WE HAVE SPENT MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEMSON OUR VAN OVER AND OVER WE HAVE A HANDICAP CHILD THAT HIS LIFE DEPENDS ON THE FUNCTION OF THE VAN WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VAN WE INFORMED DEALER OF THIS AND HE STATED THAT THE VAN WAS IN GREAT CONDITION TO TRAVEL ANY WHERE. WE ALSO LET THEM KNOW THAT OUR CHILD TRAVELS BACK AND FOURTH FROM CHAMPAIGN ILLINOIS TO CHICAGO ILLINOIS TO GO TO DIFFRENT HOSPITALS AND VISIT FAMILY. WITHIN THE FIRST DAYS THAT WE PURCHASED THE VAN IT STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND THE ALTERNATOR GAVE OUT AND DRAINED THE BATTERY HILL. FORD DID REPLACE THE PARTS BUT SINCE THEN WE CONTINUE TO HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PARTS FREQUENTLY. HILL FORD MADE AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE FUEL PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN BUT ABOUT A MONTH AFTER SERVICE IT WENT BACK TO HAVING STARTING PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF FUEL OVER FLOWING. WE DID TRY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH FIRESTONE TWICE BUT IT ALWAYS GOES BACK TO THE SAME THING. THE FUSE BOX LOCATED UNDER THE FRONT HOOD CONTROLS THE MOTOR THAT ALLOWS THE BACK SEAT TO BE LIFTED AND LOWERED DOES NOT WORK EVERY TIME I REPLACE THE FUSE IT BURNS IT OUT WHEN I CONTACTED HILL FORD THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. I DO NOT HAVE ALL THE MONEY NECCESSARY TO FIX EVERY EXTENSIVE PROBLEM.*AK
