THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS RECALLED IN 1996 BECAUSE IT WAS A FIRE DANGER. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. ON JULY 28, 2000 THE IGNITION SWITCH AGAIN CAUGHT ON FIRE. AT THAT TIME CHAMPION FORD REFUSED TO REPLACE IT UNDER THE RECALL. THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. THE SAME PART THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED DID THE SAME THING THE RECALLED PART WAS DOING.

I AM AN OTR TRUCK DRIVER AND I AM VERY AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH ALL VEHICLES THAT I DRIVE. I CAME BACK TO MY WORK TERMINAL AND NOTICED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM MY TRUCK. I LOOKED UNDER IT AND SAW THAT THE REAR FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING QUITE OBVIOUSLY FROM THE SEAM. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK, HE SAID NO. I THEN WAS TOLD TO CONTACT FORD AND I ASKED IF THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN THROUGH A RECALL FIX BACK IN 1993. I HARDLY THINK THAT A FUEL TANK THAT WAS REPAIRED WOULD START LEAKING 6 YEARS LATER, ESPECIALLY FROM THE SEAM ON THE TANK. I WAS TOLD THAT MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WAS UP AND THAT FORD WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF MY PROBLEM. DEAR SIRS, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND A WIFE WHO DEPEND ON ME TO PROVIDE THE BEST CARE AND PROTECTION. HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM COMPANIES THAT DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE AND ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETBOOK. *AK
