#716325December 21, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I AM AN OTR TRUCK DRIVER AND I AM VERY AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH ALL VEHICLES THAT I DRIVE. I CAME BACK TO MY WORK TERMINAL AND NOTICED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM MY TRUCK. I LOOKED UNDER IT AND SAW THAT THE REAR FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING QUITE OBVIOUSLY FROM THE SEAM. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK, HE SAID NO. I THEN WAS TOLD TO CONTACT FORD AND I ASKED IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN THROUGH A RECALL FIX BACK IN 1993. I HARDLY THINK THAT A FUEL TANK THAT WAS REPAIRED WOULD START LEAKING 6 YEARS LATER, ESPECIALLY FROM THE SEAM ON THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THAT MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WAS UP AND THAT FORD WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF MY PROBLEM. DEAR SIRS, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND A WIFE WHO DEPEND ON ME TO PROVIDE THE BEST CARE AND PROTECTION. HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM COMPANIES THAT DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE AND ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETBOOK. *AK

#716335December 21, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
THE PROBLEM CONSISTS OF GAS BEING PUMPED FROM THE BACK TANK TO THE FRONT ON A DUAL TANK SYSTEM. THIS ITEM WAS A RECALL ITEM, AND WHEN MY TRUCK WAS IN FOR SERVICE FOR OTHER WORK AT COX FORD IN HAMPSTEAD MD THEY INDICATED THAT THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR ON THE FUEL SYSTEM FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, THOUGH I WAS HAVING NO TROUBLE WITH THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY AT THAT TIME. ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER I NOTICED THAT AFTER I EXHAUSTED THE FRONT TANK AND SWITCHED TO THE REAR TANK, ONCE THE REAR TANK WAS EXHAUSTED I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TANK WOULD THEN HAVE AS MUCH AS 1/3 TANK OF FUEL IN IT. I DECIDED TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME BEING, BUT APPROACHED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS DURING APRIL 1999 AND THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THE RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY DONE AND THE REPAIR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, ANY SUBSEQUENT REPAIRS WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT VERY HAPPY WITH FORD'S HANDLING OF THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM COMPOROMISES MY VEHICLE'S SAFETY AND RESALE VALUE, AND I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO ACCIDENTALLY PUMP MY REAR TANK BEFORE THE FRONT IS EMPTY. *AK

TIRES
REMOVED ORIGINIAL UNUSED SPARE TIRE FROM UNDER FRAME LOCATION. THE FORD F-150 UNDER FRAME MOUNTING DESIGN CAUSED 8 WEAR POINTS (FROM VIBRATION) AT LEAST 3/16" DEEP INTO OUTER SIDEWALL. THIS HAS CREATED A POTENTIAL UNSAFE TIRE BLOWOUT CONDITION. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR ONLY 16 MONTHS (@16,295 MILES) AND FIND THIS NEW SPARE NOW UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE. I WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTIGATED AND OTHER OWNERS NOTIFIED OF THIS SITUATION IF WARRANTED. I WILL BE CONTACTING UKIAH FORD THIS WEEK AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS TIRE REPLACED. CONTACT ME IF NEEDED. KEN JOHANNES. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235-70R16 )

THIS VEHICLE HAS A TERRIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM - THE 2ND TO 3RD SHIFT, AND THE 3RD TO 2ND SHIFT ARE ROUGH AND SLOWLY TEAR THE TRANSMISSION APART. MINE HAS BEEN REPAIRED 4 TIMES AND IS STILL SUFFERING FROM POOR SHIFTS AND UNDEPENDABILITY.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 2 TRANSMISSION REBUILDS, ONE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 14,900 MILES ON THE ODOMETER! *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
THE IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STOPS (OF COURSE), HOWEVER SOMETIME YOU CAN RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE KEY. IN OTHER WORDS, I CAN NOT BE SURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS SECURE ALL THE TIME, SINCE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT WILL START AND RUN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE INGNITION. *AK
