SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT IS THAT MY TRUCK HAS A DAMAGED CHECK VALVE. I HAVE SPENT MY OWN MONEY TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM, YET IT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS I HAVE A DAUL TANK SYSTEM. WHEN I SWITCH MY TANK TO THE REAR IT PUMPS GAS TO THE MOTOR BUT ALSO PUMPS GAS INTO THE FRONT TANK CAUSING IT TO OVERFLOW, THUS CREATING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZERED FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECAL ON SUCH A DEFFECT. YET MY MECHANICE PULLED UP A DOCUMENT OFF HIS COMPUTER UNDER THE (2000 MITCHELL REPAIR INFORMATION CO. L.L.C.) UNDER SAFTY RECALL #93S68 WHICH ADDRESSES THIS VERY PROBLEM. I BELEVE IT IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTEN, AND AM ASKING YOU TO GET FORD TO FIX THIS DEFECT BEFORE MY TRUCK GOES ABLAZE.*AK

#736288November 14, 2000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN THIS VEHICLE LOCKS UP WITHOUT WARNING. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTS WHILE CRUISING AND WHILE AT STOP. WHEN PROBLEM HAPPENS AT STOP, THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD AND KILL ENGINE. STOPPING DISTANCE IN INCREASED WHEN EVENT OCCURES DURING CRUISE. INCIDENT OCCURRED AT NEAR PEDESTRIANS AND NEARLY CAUSED COLLISION. INCIDENT OCCURED IN PARKING LOT AND CAUSED SLIGHT BUMBER IMPACT WITH STOP POST. FORD WILL NOT FIX PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES ARE GENERATED BY THE EVENT, AND CANNOT BE DUPLICATED BY DEALER. I AM FORMALLY SEEKING APPROPRIATE REMEDY TO HAVE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. I AM BAFFLED BY FORD'S LACK OF CONCERN AND UNWILLINGNESS TO FIX A LOW COST WARRANTIED COMPONENT. I WILL HAVE UNIT REPARIED BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IF FORD CONTINUES TO REFUSE. I WILL GLADLY SUBMIT FAILED UNIT TO NHTSA FOR YOUR ANALYSIS. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
