1990 FORD F150 Complaints

HAVE BEEN TO FORD DEALER FOR TWO RECALLS, IGNITION AND FUEL REGULATOR. NO CHARGE TO ME. GAS IS STILL COMING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK OF THE TANK "I AM NOT USING, I SWITCH TO THAT TANK AND GAS COMES OUT OF THE OTHER TANK--THAT I AM NOT USING. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND I NEED TO PAY FOR NEW FUEL PUMPS IN EACH TANK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT SINCE THE TRUCK IS GETTING GAS FINE, JUST TO MUCH AND BEING RETURNED TO THE WRONG TANK. NOT BEING RETURNED TO THE TANK THAT IS BEING USED. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND SHOULD NOT COST ME $1000.00. HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME.

AFTER HAVING RECALL 89V1141000 SERVICED, ONE WEEK LATER, PROBLEM CAME BACK WORSE THAN BEFORE. FUEL WAS STILL FLOWING FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER. DEALER WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM, BUT COULD NOT SOLVE IT. *AK
