TRIED TO HAVE A VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR A SAFETY ISSUE. FORD SAID THAT IT WASN'T COVERED ANYMORE ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL RECALL DOCUMNET SAID FORD WAS TO FIX THE SITUATION REGARDLESS OF AGE, MILEAGE, OR OWNERSHIP FROM THE DATE JULY 14TH 1993 ON. THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE RECENTLY THAT IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A HEAT SOURCE IN THE AREA, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXPLOSION. REF RECALL 93V-125 FORD 1990-1993 F-150. *AK

WHILE DRIVING FUEL LEAKED OUT OF THE FUEL TANK ONTO THE GROUND. *AK

BOTH FRONT AND REAR FUEL TANKS RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING ON MY 1993 FORD F150 PICKUP AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL FROM FORD FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND MECHANISM FOR TRANSFER OF FUEL FROM THE TANKS.AT THE TIME I TOOK MY PICKUP TO 5 STAR FORD FOR THE RECALL THEY TOLD ME BOTH FUEL TANKS WERE LEAKING AT THE SEAMS OF BOTH TANKS. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS FOR A DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE TRANSFER OF FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO ANOTHER AND CAUSE LEAKAGE AT THE FILLER NECK OF THE TANKS. I BELIEVE THE TANKS ARE LEAKING AT THE SEAMS EITHER BECAUSE OF OVER PRESSURE FROM THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR CAUSING EXCESS PRESSURE IN THE TANKS OR A DEFECTIVE JOINING OF THE TANKS AT THEIR SEAMS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE FIRE AND PROPERTY AND BODY INJURY. I HAVE REQUESTED FORD TO EITHER REPAIR THE FUEL TANKS OR REPLACE THEM BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED. I THINK THERE IS A SERIOUS RISK OF FIRE. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $700 5 STAR FORD WANTED TO PUT TWO NEW FUEL TANKS ON MY PICKUP. PLEASE HELP!*AK

VEHICLE HAS DUAL FUEL TANKS ,THE BACK TANK IS PUMPING GASOLINE INTO THE FRONT TANK AND IS OVERFLOWING. DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS, AND MECHANIC NOTICED THAT PRESSURE SAFETY VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE STERING COLUMN. ONLY DAMAGE WAS OUR OWN, WITH BURNT WIRES WITHIN THE WIRELOOM UNDER THE DASH. UPON INVESTIGATION BY MY HUSBAND, HE FOUND 7 WIRES MELTED INTO ONE ANOTHER. THE FUSE DID NOT MELT, BUT THE WIRES HAD TOTALLY DISINTIGRATED. THE WIRES ARE TO SMALL FOR THE 15 AMP FUSE THEY ARE ATTACHED TO. WE HAVE HAD THIS BURNING UNDER OUR DASH SEVERAL TIMES IN THIS PAST YEAR. NOT UNTIL THE TAIL LIGHTS REFUSED TO WORK DID WE DO THE DEEPER INVESTIGATION OF THE WIRE LOOM. IN THE MEAN TIME WE HAVE LOST OUR CRUSE CONTROL AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE MIGHT TURN UP. I'VE CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY PERSONALLY ABOUT THE SITUATION. THEY SAY UNTILL FORCED BY A RECALL THERE IS NOTING THEY CAN DO FOR OUR SITUATION. OUR 93 FORD IS WELL OVER IT'S WARRENTY AND WITH 120,000 MILES AND NO RECALL TO DATE FOR MY PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE. REPAIRS WILL HAVE TO BE DONE BY US AND WILL BE REIMBURST UNON ANY FUTURE RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. GOSH, I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE 1993 FORD 150'S ALL DEALING WITH THIS SIMMILAR TYPE OF SITUATION, BURNING AND SMOKE FROM THE STERING COLUMN. ALL THAT IS STATED IS THAT THE SITUATION IS ELECTRICAL. WELL, IT CERTAINLY IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER IS THE SORCE OF THE PROBLEM. USING WIRES TO SMALL FOR THE FUSES THAT THEY INSTALLED IN THEIR VEHICLES. SO LET'S AT LEAST WARN ALL 1993 WEHICLE OWNERS TO THE FACT. WE WILL BE LOOKING TO REPLACE OUR 1993 FORD AS SOON AS WE CAN AFFORD TO DO SO. I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN
