SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
ON SUNDAY APRIL 28, 2002 WE WERE DRIVING THE SUBJECT FORD TRUCK. WHEN WE RETURNED HOME, THE SEAT-BELT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT UNBUCKLE. AFTER WORKING WITH THE BELT FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES, WE HAD TO CUT THE BELT TO ALLOW MY WIFE TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK. THIS PROBLEM HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. ON MONDAY, APRIL 29, 2002 , I CONTACTED FT. MILL FORD IN FT. MILL, SC. I WAS TOLD THIS DOES ON OCCASION HAPPEN, AND BECAUSE THE TRUCK HAS OVER 50,000 MILES, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE BELT. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION HAD THERE BEEN AN EMERGENCY. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE SEATBELTS, SOMEONE NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
CONTACTED FORD ON NATIONAL 800 NUMBER. SUPERVISOR SAID FORD WILL NOT ADMIT OCCURRENCE OF SPARK PLUGS BLOWING OUT OF THEIR ENGINES. HOWEVER, THEY WERE QUICK TO RESPOND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ALUMINUM HEAD FOR $1,500.... SAYS IT IS NOT A FORD DEFECT. HOWEVER, I AM FINDING THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. THE LOCAL FORD SHOP SAYS THEY ROUTINELY SEE THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS ONLY COVERED IF UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE MY TRUCK IS A USED VEHICLE ... NOT COVERED. WHEN THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT, THE SUDDEN BANG AND FOLLOWING LOUD NOISE CAUSED ME TO SWERVE ON THE HIGHWAY.... FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NOBODY NEXT TO ME AT THE TIME. I GOT THE IMPRESSION FROM THE NATIONAL FORD REP. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT FORCES THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.*AK

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.
