FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
THE FUEL FILLER TUBE HAS A FLAP IN IT WHERE THE TUBE CONNECTS TO THE TANK TO PREVENT SPILLAGE IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION OR UPSET. THE FLAP HAS STUCK IN A PARTIALLY OPEN POSITION CAUSING THE FUEL NOT TO FLOW FREELY INTO THE TANK. IN THIS OPEN POSITION, THE FLAP DOES NOT DO IT JOB OF KEEPING FUEL IN TANK. THEREFORE IN THE EVENT OF AN OVERTURNED VEHICLE THE FUEL WOULD LEAK OUT CREATING A FIRE HAZARD

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
THE FUEL FILLER TUBE HAS A FLAP IN IT WHERE THE FOLLER TUBE CONNECTS TO THE FUEL TANK. THE FLAP IS THERE TO PREVENT SPILLAGE IN THE EVENT OF COLLISION OR UPSET. THE FLAP HAS STUCK IN A PARTIALLY OPEN POSITION PREVENTING FREE FLOWING OF FUEL. IN ADDITION, IN THE EVENT OF AN UPSET, THE FUEL WOULD FLOW OUT OF THE TANK CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. INASMUCH AS SAFETY IS INVOLVED, I BELIEVE FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A STRESS PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD ON MY CAR. WHILE IN FLORIDA I HAD A LARGE LINE START RUNNING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO THE MIDDLE AND THEN ACCROSS TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE. THERE WAS NO CRACK OR CHIP ANYWHERE IN THE WINDSHIELD. IT CREATED A VISION PROBLEM AS IT KEPT FLICKERING LIGHT. THIS CONDITION WAS WORSE AT NIGHT. THE FORD DEALER IN KISSIMMEE TOLD ME HE HAD A LOT OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS STRESS. HE COULD NOT REPLACE IT AS FORD WOULD GIVE HIM A HARD TIME. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH THIS. THE DRIVING AT NIGHT WAS WORSE AS THE FLICKERING BECAME A SERIES OF BLUE AND WHITE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A GLASS COMPANY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A CRACK ANYWHERE. THEY SAID IT WAS A STRESS PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT TO NASSAR FORD IN LAWRENCE, MASS AND THEY CALLED FORD AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDSHEILD. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THESE WINDSHIELDS AT ANY DEALER FOR THERE CUSTOMERS AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK TO A DRIVER. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
I OWN A 1987 FORD CROWN VICTORIA S/W WHOSE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED IN 1998 BY A FORD DEALER IN DUNDALK, MD. IT WAS REPLACED WITH A "FORD REMANUFACTURED" UNIT ALONG WITH THE CONNECTOR. LAST WEEK I STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE ABOUT 200 YARDS WHEN I NOTICED THE "AMP" LIGHT SHOWING RED ON THE DASH PANEL AND MY WIFE CONCURRENTLY YELLING "THERE'S SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD". I DID A "U" TURN AND PROCEEDED TO MY GARAGE WHERE I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW SMOKE POURING OUT FROM THE BACK OF THE ALTERNATOR AND THEN IT BURST INTO FLAMES. I DOUSED THE FIRE WITH A CO2 EXTINGUISHER BUT THE FLAMES RE-APPEARED. I CUT THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CABLE AND THE FLAMES BECAME EXTINGUISHED. THE WIRES ON THE HARNESS ARE "COOKED".*AK
