FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER RECALL OF '93. WHEN CONTACTING OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WE WERE TOLD OUR VIN# DID NOT COME UP THEREFORE MEANING THAT THE PART WAS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL ONCE ALREADY. THE CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ASSY CAUSES A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO BE RETURNED TO THE SECOND TANK WHICH IS CAUSING THE CAPACITY OF THE SECOND TANK TO CAUSE FUEL SPILLAGE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THE OIL PAN ON MY 1992 FORD F-150 RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND HAS BEGUN TO LEAK OIL. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THE REPAIR COST TO BE BETWEEN $300-$400. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM, WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR & ENGINE SIZE (4.9). I AM VERY CONCERNED OF THE COST AND REOCCURRANCE OF THIS PROBLEM! I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF ONE OF THE INTANKS OF OUR (DUAL GAS TANK) FUEL PUMPS. THIS COST ME $385 TO HAVE REPLACED. I BELIEVE I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY PRODUCT! IF THERE IS ANY MEANS OF HAVING THE MANUFACTURER COVER THE REPAIRS OF THIS VEHICLE I WOULD BE GREATFUL FOR THE INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. JAMES WEIGEL. *AK

THE TREAD PEEL OFF THE TIRE AT 70 MPH, DAMAGING THE WHEEL WELL, FENDER, AND RUNNING BOARD. I RETURN TO FIRESTONE AND SHOWED THEM THE TIRE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO THING THEY COULD NOT, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALL TIRES. WE ARE VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE GOT KILLED. THESE FR480 NEED TO BE RECALLED. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235R75-15 )

MY TIRES FAILED A DIFFERENT WAY .THE RUBBER SEPARATED FROM THE BEAD THAT SEALS AGAINST THE WHEEL. I HAVEN' T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEING MENTION DURING THIS RECALL.

TIRES
THE TRUCK DEVELOPED A SLIGHT VIBRATION THAT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN THE FRONT END. IT WAS. THE TIRE WAS STARTING TO SEPERATE. FIRESTONE WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TIRE. TO CONDENSE THE STORY, FIRESTONE SAID THEY COULD NOT MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE TIRE BECAUSE IT WAS OVER FIVE YEARS OLD. NOTE: THE TIRE(S) HAVE GOOD TREAD AND WERE NOT ABUSED. ALSO, THE TIRES ARE SITTING IN THE GARAGE (FOR MONTHS)STILL MOUNTED AND THAT ONE TIRE IS SELF-DESTRUCTING ON ITS OWN. THE TIRE IS NO LONGER TRUE (ROUND), LOOSING ITS TREAD AND EVEN THE BELT PLYS APPEAR TO BE PULLING APART. THE TIRE: FIRESTONE FIREHAWK ATX 31*10.5R15LT M/S LOAD RANGE B.( DOT NUMBER: VD60AXP235 TIRE SIZE: 31*10.5R15 )

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
TIME OF INCIDENT 07:30 AM; NO HEAVY LOAD; ENTIRE TREAD CAME OFF SEVERLY DAMAGING LEFT SIDE PANEL, PIPE TO GAS TANK, AND BED. TRUCK WAS YANKED AROUND, BUT GAINED CONTROL. TIRE CONTINUED TO HOLD AIR, AND WAS STILL HOLDING AIR UNTIL NEW TIRE WAS PURCHASED. I PURCHASED A COMPLETE NEW SET OF WILDERNESS TIRES ON THE SAME DAY DUE TO MILEAGE AND NOT WANTING MISMATCHED TIRES. NOW I AM STUCK WITH ANOTHER SET THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE JUST AS DANGEROUS. THIS INCIDENT OCCURED PRIOR TO THE PUBLICITY ON FIRESTONE TIRES. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER BRAND. I HAD NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH FIRESTONE TIRES BEFORE, AND THOUGHT THE PROBLEM I HAD WAS DUE TO MILEAGE OR JUST A SINGLE DEFECTIVE TIRE.( DOT NUMBER: VD60AXB506 TIRE SIZE: 31105R15 )

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
WHEN BOTH FUEL TANKS ARE FULL, PRESSURE BUILDS UP AND FORCES FUEL TO SPEW OUT OF ONE OF THE GAS CAPS. I HAVE HAD A COUPLD OF MOTORISTS FLAG ME DOWN TO TELL THIS AND THEN WHEN I STOP IT CONTINUES TO SPURT OUT FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN BOTH TANKS ARE LESS THAN FULL, THE FUEL WILL RETURN TO THE EMPTIER TANK EVERY TIME UNTIL BOTH TANKS BALANCE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE PRESSURE BUILD UP AND FUEL TO SPURT OUT OF THE GAS CAP. THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN HANDLED ON A RECALL NOTICE BY THE PRIOR OWNER OF MY TRUCK SO I AM TOLD BY FORD THAT THEIR OBLIGATION IS DONE. MY OPINION IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS STILL A SAFETY THREAT FROM FORDS PARTS (EVEN A SECOND SET OF PARTS AFTER THE RECALL). FORD INSISTS THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS. I AM HAVING MY MECHANIC FIX THIS FOR ME AT A PRICE OF NEARLY $800 SO I FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT FORD WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.
