1990 FORD F150 Complaints

MY 1990 FORD F150 IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING AS MENTIONED IN THIS NHTSA CAMPAIGN #93V125000 BUT FORD SAIS IT'S NOT ON THEIR RECALL LIST?*AK

TIRES ON MY F150 SHOW ABNORMAL WEAR ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES. FORD SAYS THIS IS DUE TO THE SUSPENSION. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. I CLAIM THAT THIS IS A SUSPENSION ISSUE, NOT A TIRE ISSUE. I HAVE SINCE BOUGHT A NEW CHECROLET TAHOE. COULD THIS ISSUE BE RELATED TO THE TIRE ISSUES ON CURRENT FORD SUV'S? I THINK THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM RATHER FORD SUPSPENSION IS THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR AND HEATING OF THE TIRES, ESP. IN TEXAS. THIS WEARS THE OUTER EDGES OF THE TIRES, EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE OUTER TREAD TO FAIL OR SEPERATE FROM THE TIRE. THIS IS A DEFINATE PROBLEM ON THE FORD F150 TRUCKS, AND I THINK IT APPLIES TO THE EXPLORER.*AK (TIRESIZE: P235R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235R15 )

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 72 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL IN FORD F150 1990 RIGHT REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED COMPLETE TREAD SEPARATION, CAUSING DAMAGE TO TAILPIPE AND QUARTER PANEL OF VEHICLE. THIS TIRE WAS NOT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON VEHICLE. FIRESTONE TIRE, FR480, SIZE: P235/75R15.*AK

CONSUMER HEARD A CLUNKING SOUND WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH. PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED VEHICLE. FOUND FRONT TORSION BAR HAD BROKEN ON PASSENGER'S SIDE.*AK FRAME WAS ALL RUSTED. *YH

A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WITH MY FORD F-150 INVOLVING THE FUEL LINE/GAS TANK SURFACED ON 4/27/01 IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN THE GARAGE, SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES OF GASOLINE WERE FOUND TO BE EXITING ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANK CAPS ON TO THE FLOOR. TOMBALL FORD REPLACED THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THIS SAFETY HAZARD IN JAN 1996 UNDER FORD RECALL 93S68. IT IS OBVIOUS THE RECALL DID NOT WORK.!! THESE FACTS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED BY CILLIS CAR CARE, 13650 SCHROEDER RD, HOUSTON, TX 77070. ACCORDING TO TOMBALL FORD, THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO ONCE AGAIN REPAIR THE COMPONENTS OF THE FUEL SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE. I DEMAND THAT THE D.O.T. ACT ON THIS SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. MY TRUCK SHOULD BE REPAIRED CORRECTLY AT NO COST TO ME. FURTHER, FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC, FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT ANOTHER RECALL AND PERFORM RECALL 93S68 PROPERLY!!!!!*AK

VEHICLE T WAS DRIVING ROUGHLY, AND CONSUMER SMELLED GASOLINE HE HAS DUAL TANK. TRUCK WAS FIXED ON RECALL 01-JAN-96 . *AK

FUEL TANK STARTED LEAKING FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER CAUSING FUEL TO OVER FLOW AND OUT OF TANK ONTO THE GROUND, AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. *JB

FUEL FROM REAR TANK IS TRANFERRING ALL FUEL INTO FRONT TANK UNTIL IT GETS FULL, THEN IT WILL LEAK OUT OF FUEL FILLER, CAUSING FIRE HAZARD.*AK
