#752501September 24, 2001
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
FUEL SYSTEM RETURNS FUEL FROM THE REAR TANK TO THE FRONT TANK CAUSING AN OVERFLOW PROBLEM. THE FRONT TANK BECOMES PRESSURIZED AND LEAKS FUEL ONTO THE GROUND. THE FUEL SYSTEM ON THIS TRUCK IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND HAS BEEN RECALLED TWICE. THE FIRST RECALL FIXED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARLY BUT THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN. MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND SINCE THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PREFORMED I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. RECENTLY A SECOND RECALL CAME OUT FROM FORD (RECALL #01M05H). WHEN I TRIED TO HAVE MY PROBLEM FIXED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY TRUCK. THE RECALL WORK PREFORMED REPLACED A REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND FUEL TUBE CONNECTION, BUT I WAS TOLD MY FUEL PUMP IS BAD AND THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE OVERFILLING OF THE FRONT TANK. IT WOULD COST ALMOST $500.00 TO REPAIR MY FUEL SYSTEM. HOW MANY PROBLEMS ARE THERE WITH THE FORD FUEL SYSTEM?*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE TRUCK IS A 3 DOOR EXT. CAB. THE DRIVER & PASSENGER DOORS BOTH CRACKED NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOWS TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE DOOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE STRESS FRACTURE WOULD PROBABLY GIVE ON IMPACT & CAUSE THE DOOR TO CRUSH IN ON THIS AREA AND THE WINDOW TO BREAK, BOTH ON THE OCCUPANT. FORD DID REPLACE BOTH DOORS UNDER WARRANTY APPROXIMANTELY 20 MONTHS AGO-THE REPLACEMENT DOORS ALSO CRACKED IN THE SAME AREA. FORD MUST BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM - 1999 MODELS HAVE DIFFERENT DOORS. THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM ON 1997 & 1998 FORD TRUCKS. THIS WOULD BE SAFETY CONCERN UPON AN IMPACT.

TREAD HAS SEPARATED ON THESE TIRES 4 OUT 5 THAT I HAVE PURCHASED. I HAVE HAD BODY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE ON 2 OF THOSE OCCASIONS. THESE TIRES SEEM TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED AT THE FIRESTONE PLANT IN QUESTION, REGARDING THE OTHER FIRESTONE TIRE RECALLS. I FEEL THAT THIS FAILURE RATE IS UNUSUALLY HIGH. I HAVE ALL MAINTAINANCE RECORDS ON THIS VEHICLE AND CAN PROVE THAT THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VNHL LM4 TIRESIZE: 235/75/R15)
