FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 FORD F150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, BUT NEVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS OUTDATED AND THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE IS A MALFUNCTIONING CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY THAT CAUSES A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO RETURN TO THE SECOND TANK. AS A RESULT, THE CAPACITY OF THE SECOND TANK BECOMES TOO GREAT AND CREATES FUEL SPILLAGE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT HIS HOME. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 150,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
(1) FILLED FUEL TANKS WITH GAS (2) FUEL BEGAN PUSHING OUT OF THE REAR FILLER CAP AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. NOTIFIED BY ANOTHER DRIVER AND PULLED OVER. OPENED THE FUEL DOOR COVER AND SAW GAS SPILLING OUT AROUND THE CAP. TOOK THE CAP OFF AND FUEL BLEW OUT AT ME. MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER HAD GASOLINE ALL OVER US. (3) TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT AND THE RECALLED PART HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH REDESIGNED FUEL PUMP IN 2001. NEW REDESIGN IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING. CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE MAY 3, 2007, WAS TOLD INITIALLY BY 'SUE' THAT FORD WOULD PARTICIPATE AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEN A SUPERVISOR, ID# 1157 (SHIRA) THAT IT WAS ALREADY FIXED 28 DEC 01 AND THEY WON'T FIX IT AGAIN ALTHOUGH IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING NORTH (ON CRUISE CONTROL APPROX. 55 MPH) ON I 75 NEAR MILE MARKER 78 WHEN MY 1993 FORD F150 STARTING SMOKING UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW THE ENGINE IN FLAMES. I HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN THE CAB SO I USED IT TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. THERE WAS ALSO A TRAIL OF FIRE UNDER THE TRUCK THAT A GOOD SAMARITAN EXTINGUISED AFTER HE STOPPED TO HELP. I CALLED AAA TO TOW MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL FIRESTONE SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIRS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 1993 AND NEVER HAD ANY RECALL ON IT. I FOUND OUT TODAY FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THERE IS A DEFECT W/ THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH ON THIS MODEL FORD TRUCK. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE'S FUEL INTAKE. EVERY TIME FUEL WAS INJECTED INTO THE VEHICLE THE FILLER CAP WOULD OVERFLOW. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS OF A RECALL. THE CAPACITY OF THE RECEIVING TANK EXCEEDED INTAKE AND CAUSED AN OVERFLOW FROM FILLER CAP. THE FUEL SEEPING COULD RESULT IN FIRE. HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEREFORE ANY SERVICE WOULD INCUR A CHARGE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE
1. ONE MORNING I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START ON THE FRONT TANK SO I BEGAN TO USE THE REAR TANK ONLY. 2. VERY SOON THEREAFTER, GASOLINE BEGAN POURING OUT OF THE FRONT TANK FILLER CAP. IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, WHATEVER GAS GETS PUT INTO THE REAR TANK IS PUMPED INTO THE FRONT TANK WHILE BEING DRIVEN AND GAS SPILLS OUT OF CAP GOING DOWN THE ROAD. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN CORRECTED YET, I'M TRYING TO GET LOCAL FORD DEALER TO FIX IT BUT THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VIN. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I HAVE FOUND A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE WHICH IS, ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 93V125000, RECALLED FOR A SAFETY PURPOSE. A MALFUNCTIONING CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY CAUSES FUEL TO RETURN TO THE SECOND TANK AND OVERFLOW. THERE IS A GREAT CHANCE FOR A FIRE BECAUSE OF THE FUEL OVERAGE. HOWEVER, FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, BASED SOLELY ON MY VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. *JB
