CONSUMER HAD FUEL PUMP REPLACED IN OCT 2000 DUE TO FUEL LEAKAGE, AT THIS TIME VEHICLE'S FUEL TANKS ARE LEAKING AGAIN. FUEL IS BEING PUMPED FROM ONE FUEL TANK TO THE OTHER.THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL 00V424000. *AK *SLC

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED BY THE NHTSA FOR REPAIR. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL FROM FORD SAYING VEHICLE NEEDED REPAIRED AND THAT I SHOULD WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL FROM THE FORD COMPANY. STRONG GASOLINE FUMES WERE BEGINNING TO EMIT FROM THE ENGINE AND VEHICLE WAS CONTINUEING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I DID NOT WANT MY VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE AND DUE TO IT STALLING I HAD IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN COST. I CALLED FORD AND ASKED IF THEY HAD THE RECALL AND THEY STILL HAVE NO RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS COMING UP ON THE 8 YEAR TIME LIMIT FOR RECALL WARRANTY. WHAT SHOULD I DO? WILL I BE REFUNDED ON MY COSTS? THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 00V424000 / ANOTHER IS 93V125000. THANK YOU. *AK

FUEL STARTED FLOWING OUT OF MY FRONT FUEL TANK FILL CAP WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A BAD FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP CHECK VALVES TO GO BAD WHICH ALLOWED THE PUMPS TO PUMP THE GAS INTO THE OTHER TANK AND OUT THE FILL CAP. I WENT TO FOR TO SEE ABOUT A RECALL BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WASNT ANY. I SAW A RECALL ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE SAME YEAR AS MY TRUCK. .*AK

VEHICLE IS SHOWING THE SAME DEFECT AS LISTED IN RECALL CAMPAIGN 00V424000/ FUEL PUMP CHECK VALVE - DUAL FUEL TANK SYSTEM FAILURE.

A PRIVATE MECHANIC GAVE CONSUMER A PRINT OUT REGARDING THE RECALL. *AK SPILLED FUEL COULD RESULT IN A FIRE UNLESS THE PRESSURE REGULATOR IS REPLACED AND REDUNDANT CHECK VALVE IS INSTLLED. *YH

VEHICLE IS SHOWING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 00V424000. CONSUMER HAD FRONT FUEL PUMP REPLACED LAST MONTH BECAUSE FUEL FROM FRONT TANK WAS BEING TRANSFERRED TO REAR FUEL TANK (DUAL TANK SYSTEM.) ALSO, CONSUMER FILLED FRONT TANK, THEN WENT TO FILL THE REAR TANK, HE WAS SHOWERED WITH FUEL. DEALERSHIP WAS SAYING THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS RECALL SINCE CONSUMER NOTIFICATION WAS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN MAY OF 2001, MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP WERE NOT ASSISTING CONSUMER IN ANY WAY TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. HE HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER HE IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL/INFORMATION.*AK

FUEL FROM ONE OF MY TWO GAS TANKS FLOWS INTO THE OTHER TANK. I THEN NOTE A DISTINCT ODOR OF GASOLINE, AND IF I REMOVE THE GAS CAP, GASOLINE WILL SPILL OUT OF THE TANK. IN ADDITION, THE REAR TANK HAS NOW DEVELOPED A LEAK. I UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAIN 1993 F150 FORD PICKUPS WERE RECALLED IN 1993 FOR HIGH FUEL PRESSURE DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE FUEL PUMP CHECK VALVE. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO TO TRANSFERRED FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER, POSSIBLY OVERFILLING THE NON-OPERATING TANK, RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOW PAST THE FILLER CAP (NHTSA #93V125000) AND MORE WILL BE RECALLED IN MAY (NHTSA #00V424000, MFG #00S57). I HAVE CALLED FORD, BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME IF BY VEHICLE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS NEW RECALL. IT WAS NOT RECALLED IN 1993, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS AS NOTED IN THE TWO RECALLS THAT I REFER TO.*AK
