(MY FORD F-150 - TRUCK - V.I.N-#1FTEX15YONKB68349) THE TRUCK WAS STALLING AND I HAD THE FUEL FILTER CHANGED ON 03/01/04-THINKING THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE TRUCK KEPT TURNING OFF. I WAS PUTTING GASOLINE IN THE BACK TANK AND THEN THE FRONT TANK STARTED OVERFLOWING SO ON 03/11/04 I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK. THEY CHECKED WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING AND THE MECHANIC FOUND OUT THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN ON RECALL FOR CHECK VALVES, WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I CALLED FORD (CHAMPION) IN CORPUS CHRISTI -(361-994-6200)TO FIX IT AND THEY TOLD ME TAKE IT IN BUT THEN THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH. IT WAS UNDER THE 12 YEAR WARRANTY, SO I CALLED THE MAIN OFFICE & SAID THE SAME THING. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND HE DID THE JOB. I HAD PREVIOUSLY PAID $31.77 FOR THE FUEL FILTER CHANGE THEN $42.10 TO CHECK WHY IT KEPT TURNING OFF AND THE INITIAL FEE FOR THE VALVE TO BE INSTALLED WAS $212.96 - TOTAL AMOUNT SPEND - $286.83. *AK

WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE THE CONSUMER COULD SMELL FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAS DUAL TANKS AND WHEN ONE TANK IS EMPTY THE SECOND TANKS GASOLINE WOULD SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER CAPS. THE DRIVER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVER BY WARRANTY. *NM *MR

THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS PUMPED FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER AND CAUSED THE TANK TO OVER FLOW. THE CONSUMER FOUND A SAFETY CAMPAIGN IMPROVEMENT ON HIS VEHICLE 01I008000 FOR THE FUEL CROSS OVER. WHEN HE CONTACTED THE DEALER HE WAS TOLD HIS VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD. THE SAFETY CAMPAIGN WAS ISSUED IN 2001. *JB

FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY HAD A MALFUNCTION IN THE CHECK VALVE WHERE THE FUEL IN ONE TANK WOULD EMPTY INTO THE SECOND TANK. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED AN OVERFLOW OF FUEL WHICH WOULD THEN SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THERE IS A RECALL #93V125000, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK *NM

VEHICLE HAS PROBLEM WITH GAS FREQUENTLY PUMPING FROM THE BACK FUEL TANK TO THE FRONT TANK. *MR THIS OFTEN HAPPENED WHEN THE FRONT TANK WAS FULL AND GAS WOULD EXPELLED FROM THE FRONT GAS TANK. THE CONSUMER'S WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN DID NOT MATCH WITH THE RECALL. *SCC *JB

DEALER PERFORMED FORD RECALL 93S68 TWICE ON MY VEHICLE WHICH DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. FUEL CROSSFLOW STILL OCCURRED FROM REAR TANK TO FRONT TANK RESULTING IN A HAZARDOUS CONDITION THAT THE RECALL WAS MEANT TO CORRECT. RETURNED TRUCK TO FORD DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME TO CORRECT THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS CHARGED $602.90 TO REPLACE FRONT FUEL PUMP. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL RECALL DID NOT ALLEVIATE THE HAZARDOUS CONDITION. *LA

PER MANUFACTURER'S SYSTEM RECALL 01I008000 FOR THE FUEL DUEL TANK LEAKAGE WAS PERFORMED. CONSUMER NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER, SO VEHICLE WAS NEVER TAKEN INTO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE RECALL DONE. DEFECT HAS NOW OCCURRED, BUT VEHICLE IS NOW OVER THE MILEAGE INDICATED IN THE RECALL. *AK *NLM

I OWN A 1992 FORD F-150 EXTEND CAB TRUCK. ON 6-13-03 WHILE DRIVING ON THE INDIANA TOLL ROAD THE BACK RIGHT TIRE SHEARED OFF ALL THE WHEEL STUDS INSTANTLY. FORTUNATELY THE TIRE DID NOT FALL OFF TILL AFTER THE TRUCK WAS PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WE WERE GOING VERY SLOWLY. THE MECHANICS OPINION WHO EVALUATE THE TRUCK SAID NO OTHER MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WERE DETECTED OTHER THAN THE WHEEL STUDS SHEARING OFF TO CAUSE THIS ACCIDENT. I HAVE KEPT THE DAMAGED WHEEL STUDS AND HAD ALL WHEEL STUDS REPLACED ON THE TRUCK. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM TO WARN OTHERS OF THE POSSIBLE TROUBLE. HOPEFULLY YOU WILL PREVENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT OURS ENDED WITHOUT A SERIOUS CONSEQUENCE. I HAVE LISTED THE NUMBER OF FAILURES TO BE 5 SINCE ALL THE STUDS SHEARED OFF. 911 WAS CALLED BUT NO STATE OFFICER RESPONDED TO THE INCIDENT. A 911 CALL SHOULD BE ON TAPE. *NLM

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT BROKE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AT 25 MPH. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER IMPACTED STEERING WHEEL. *NLM
