(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

RETURNED TRUCK TO FORD DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME TO CORRECT THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS CHARGED $602.90 TO REPLACE FRONT FUEL PUMP.
