THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 93V125000. MY TRUCK WAS REPAIRED FOR THIS PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME 6/94. THE PROBLEM HAS ONCE AGAIN RETURNED. I FILLED THE TWO TANKS AND HAD AN OVERFLOW WHEN ONE TANK WAS PUMPED INTO THE OTHER. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE SELECTION SWITCH IS SET ON THE FRONT OR THE REAR TANK RENDERING THE TRUCK UNDRIVEABLE, AND A MAJOR SAFTY HAZARD. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE NHTSA NOTICE THAT THIS PROBLEM MUST ONCE AGAIN BE FIXED BY FORD BECAUSE THE REMEDY DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. GRANTED THE REPAIR LASTED 4.5 YEARS BUT IT WAS FIXED WITH FAULTY PARTS BECAUSE IT HAS ONCE AGAIN MALFUNCTIONED. I FEEL THAT MY LIFE HAS BEEN PUT IN JEOPARDY DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION AND IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY FORD AT NO COST TO ME. *AK

IN MARCH 1998 I SPENT OVER $1000 WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO REPLACE BOTH MY FRONT AND REAR FUEL PUMPS (AFTER THEY FAILED ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY). THE MILEAGE ON MY TRUCK WAS 70,700. ON JANUARY 13, 1999 (10 MONTHS LATER) I WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR FUEL PUMP NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN. THE MILEAGE ON MY TRUCK WAS 84,095. WHY IS IT THAT THE ORIGINAL FORD PART LASTS 70,700 MILES AND THE NEW FORD PART (SUPPOSEDLY THE SAME ONE) ONLY LASTS 13,395 MILES? *AK
FUEL REGULATOR FAILED CAUSING FUEL FROM REAR TANK TO BE PUMPED INTO THE FRONT TANK CAUSING FRONT TANK TO OVERFLOW. THIS WAS FIXED ONCE PER RECALL BUT HAS FAILED AGAIN.
THE VEHICLE HAS DUAL FUEL TANKS. ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN OVERFLOWING ONTO THE GROUND, AND HAS HAD SPARKS COMING OUT OF IT. DEALER HAS NOT SEEN. *AK
AT 30,951 MILES THIS VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE A NEW OIL PAN PUT IN, AND A NEW GAS TANK AS THE OTHER ONE WAS LEAKING WHICH CAN POSE A DANGER ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME JUST BY A SIMPLE CIGARETT TO THE GROUND. I DON'T THINK OIL PANS SHOULD RUST OUT. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD. THEY DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH ME FURTHER CLAIMING MY VEHICLE WAS OLD. IN YEARS MAYBE, BUT NOT IN MILEAGE. THE TRANSMISSION LEAK HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AS IT IS EVIDENT THESE ARE INDEED FAULTY PARTS USED BY FORD. HOW CAN AN OIL PAN RUST OUT? A FUEL TANK RUSTING OUT AT THE SAME TIME? ALSO A TRANSMISSION LEAK? I HAVE SENT LETTERS TO NO AVAIL. THEY JUST SAY IT IS BEING FORWARDED. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS TO US, THE COMSUMERS. WE WILL NOT FEEL SAFE IN ANY FORD VEHICLE. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENDED IF THE OIL PAN DECIDED TO GO WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH OTHER DRIVERS. I SHUDDER TO THINK OF A DISASTER THAT COULD HAVE BEEN. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE MYSELF. BUT, CAN YOU HELP ME? SINCERELY, SCOTT WILSON. *AK

WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE OUT THE FILTER, THEY SAID THAT THE O-RING IN THE LINE GOING FROM THE FILTER TO THE ENGINE HAD A FAILED 0-RING MAKING IT IMPOSSILBE TO INSTALL THE NEW FILTER.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
