TIRES:TREAD/BELT
MY TIRES ARE NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL BUT I THINK THEY SHOULD BE. I HAD A TIRE PERSON CHECK THEM AND HE SAID THEY ARE CRACKING AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. FIRESTONE HAS NOT GONE FAR ENOUGH IN THEIR RECALL, LEAVING LOTS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME ON THE ROAD WITH UNSAFE TIRES AND NO HELP. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING
FUEL LEAKS FROM THE FUEL TANK. WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION FUEL RUNS OUT OF THE TRUCK FROM THE OPENING OF GAS TANK. WHEN GAS CAP IS TAKEN OFF FUEL STARTS TO SQUIRT OUT DUE TO PRESSURE. DEALER ADVISED CONSUMER THAT DEFECT WAS DUE TO CHECK VALVE BEING FAULTY AND BUILT PRESSURE INSIDE TANK. DEALER HAD ORDERED CHECK VALVE FROM MANUFACTURER FOR THE FRONT AND BACK PUMP. BOTH PUMPS WERE STILL DEFECTIVE. DEALER WENT TO A THIRD COMPANY FOR OPERATIVE PART. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DOORS ON MY F-150 ARE CRACKED. FORD KNOWS THIER IS A PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS PERHAPS MANY MORE F-150S DOORS CRACKING BUT IF YOUR OUT OF WARRANTY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT .SHOULDNT BE JUST A WARRANTY ISSUE ,IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN MY OPINION.IT IS CRACKING ON THE OUTER SKIN OF THE DOORS(BOTH DOORS IN MY CASE). FORD BASICALLY TOLD ME TO BAD.WILL SOMEDAY BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WHEN CRACK GETS LARGE ENOUGH TO WEAKEN DOOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS RECALLED IN 1996 BECAUSE IT WAS A FIRE DANGER. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. ON JULY 28, 2000 THE IGNITION SWITCH AGAIN CAUGHT ON FIRE. AT THAT TIME CHAMPION FORD REFUSED TO REPLACE IT UNDER THE RECALL. THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. THE SAME PART THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED DID THE SAME THING THE RECALLED PART WAS DOING. THE CHAMPION FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE PART FOR FREE BUT THAT IT WOULD COST $198.00. AFTER A DISCUSSION THEY TOOK $50.00 OFF OF THE PRICE, WHICH BROUGHT THE COST DOWN TO $148.00.*AK
