I HAVE A 1995 FORD F150 WITH DUEL FUEL TANKS. I DROVE HOME FROM WORK AND FOUND MY TRUCK FLOWING FUEL OUT OF THE FRONT TANK FILLER AFTER THE TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF. I RESEARCHED QUICKLY ON LINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH 94-95 TRUCKS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THEN I CHECKED YOUR INTERNET SITE. THE FOLLOWING ARE RECALL NUMBERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM...EXCEPT THEY ARE FOR THE YEARS OF 1990-1993. 01I0080000 , 93V125000 , 00V424000 . I WENT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM IN SEPTEMBER OF 2002. THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE BY THEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY TRUCK. I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS...THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT THEY ADMITTED TO IN THE EARLIER VEHICHLES! FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE IN THIS YEAR VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY FORD CAN GET AWAY WITH SUCH AN OBVIOUS SAFTY ISSUE. SHOULD I FILL BOTH FUEL TANKS AND PARK MY TRUCK IN FRONT OF THIER SHOWROOM DOOR? PLEASE HELP ME RECTIFIY THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GREG HANSON

FRAME ON A 1995 FORD 150 PICKUP WITH 75,550 MILES IS BROKEN IN TWO PLACES , APPROXIMATELY IN THE SAME AREAS ON EACH SIDE OF FRAME. THE BREAKS ARE LOCATED BEHIND THE FRONT AXLE. DRIVER'S SIDE IS COMPLETELY CRACKED THROUGH THE FRAME RAIL. PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED AT SAME SPOT. *JB

WE HAVE SPENT OVER $5000.00, ON THE TRUCK SURGING. NOW BECAUSE OF IT WE NOW HAVE TO HAVE A NEW REAR-END AND NEW LIFTS PUT IN. WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE NEW PLUG WIRES EVERY YEAR. THIS TRUCK IS TAKEN CARE OF OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES AND LOOKS BRAND NEW. WE ARE ON A LIMIT INCOME AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW TRUCK AND WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS, WE LIKE THE TRUCK EXCEPT HAVING TO PUT IT IN FOR REPAIRS EVERY SPRING FOR THE SAME THING. *JB

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT RADIUS ARM BUSHING FAILED ON MY 1995 FORD F-150 RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF STEERING. THE VEHICLE HAD 74,900 MILES AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED AT COURTESY FORD IN SYRACUSE AT A COST OF 549.21. THE REASON I WAS GIVEN FOR THE FAILURE WAS ROT. I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER AN INTERSTATE AND HAD THIS FAILURE OCCURRED THEN IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. SINCE THIS IS A ITEM THAT IS CRUCIAL TO SAFETY I FEEL THAT THIS ITEM SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. ALSO, WHEN BEING REPAIRED, THE DRIVER SIDE BRACKET WAS ALSO REPAIRED AS IT WAS ABOUT TO FAIL ALSO. *NLM

THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS. WHEN THE TRUCK IS RUNNING ON THE REAR TANK, AND THE FRONT TANK IS FULL, THE REAR TANK PUMPS FUEL INTO THE ALREADY FULL FRONT TANK, CAUSING IT TO OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FUEL CAP AND SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK ONTO TO THE GROUND. THE FORD DEALER SAID THAT THE 1989 TO 1993 MODELS WERE COVERED BY A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 1995 MODELS. I CALLED FORD BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED ON THIS PROBLEM THIS COULD BE A REAL FIRE HAZARD. *NLM
