#711372September 15, 1999
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
ANYTIME TRUCK IS STARTED, UPON REACHING 20MPH THE TRUCK WONT ACCELERATE EVEN IF YOU FLOOR IT, AND THE ENGINE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OUT AND THEN SUDDENLY THE ENGING/TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AND ROCKETS FORWARD AND IF I'M NOT ON TOP OF THIS I COULD HIT SOMEONE, ESPECIALLY WHEN AT STOPLIGHTS WHILE THE TRUCK IS ACTING UP. ADDITIONALLY, I CAN REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT TURNING THE IGNITION OFF, WITH THE TRUCK STILL RUNNING. IS THE IGNITION PROBLEM DANGEROUS?? I DEFINITELY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE HESITATION AND LURCH FORWARD IS VERY DANGEROUS, HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND WILL NOT REPRODUCE ITSELF CONSISTENTLY, AND I THERFORE AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY MECHANIC DETERMINING WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (I REFUSE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY AND NOT GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED) AND AM MORE CONFIDENT IN MY OWN MECHANIC. IF YOU HAVE ANY DETAILS ON HOW TO FIX THIS PROBELM, PLEASE CALL ME AT ANY TIME AT THE LISTED PHONE #.

#709476August 2, 1999
POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE 4WHEEL DRIVE, U/JOINTS AND DRIVE TRAIN HAVE GONE OUT ON THE TRUCK 4 TIMES, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS NEVER WORKED RIGHT FROM DAY ONE AND HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH COMPLAINTS BUT NEVER FIXED (AUTOLOCKS ON DOORS AND WINDOWS DON'T WORK AFTER HEAVY RAIN OR WET, HEAVY SNOW STORM) THE LAST TIME THE 4WHEEL DRIVE WENT OUT, THE FRONT DRIVERS WHEEL FLEW OFF THE TRUCK WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. LUG NUTS AND POSTS WERE NOT LOOSE NOR SHEARED OFF. UPON CONTACTING FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE EACH TIME TRUCK TAKEN IN, HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN "NO" RECALLS OF ANY TYPE ON OUR VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR ONE TO CHECK THE BOLTS ON THE FRONT BUMPER. THE FOLLOWING HAVE SHOWN OCCASSIONAL PROBLEMS SINCE 1993, BUT HAVE CONSISTENTLY BECOME WORSE WITH THE AGE/MILEAGE OF TRUCK: INTERMITTEN WIPERS DO NOT WORK, DIMMER LIGHT AND OTHER GAUGES DO NOT WORK IN DASH. THE TRANSMISSION HAS A LOT OF BACKLASH/KICK WHEN PUTTING INTO GEAR. THE IGNITION AND ALTERNATOR ARE CONSISTENTLY GETTING WORSE, SOMETIMES IT TAKES TURNING THE KEY UP TO TEN OR MORE TIMES TO GET THE TRUCK TO START. CURRENTLY, ONCE THE ENGINE GETS HOT, THE TRUCK SPITS AND SPUTTERS, ALMOST KILLING WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND THEN ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE TRUCK RECENTLY HAD A COMPLETE TUNE-UP AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL PARTS WITH FORD AUTHORIZED PARTS.

#704038March 4, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
FUEL FLOWS FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER AND CAUSES LEAKAGE AND POSSIBLE FIRE DANGER. I HAVE MOVED SINCE THE PURCHASE AND THE LOCAL DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS ABOUT AN $800 REPAIR WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE REPACEMENT OF BOTH FUEL PUMP AND OR CHECK VALVE. I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THIS PROBLEM BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THE NHSTA CAMPAIGN ID# IS 93V125000. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY AND POLLUTION CONTROL PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE DEALER SHOULD REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AT THEIR COST. YOUR COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
