RAW FUEL STARTED TO SPONTANEOUSLY OVER-FLOW OUT OF THE FRONT GAS TANK WHERE FUEL IS FILLED UP . FUEL FOR UNKNOWN REASON PUMPS FROM THE REAR TANK TO THE FRONT TANK. IF THE FRONT TANK DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH CAPACITY TO ACCEPT FUEL THAT IS INADVERTENTLY BEING FILLED THAN A SPONTANEOUS OVER-FLOW ERUPTS. IN MY CASE THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 GALLONS OF RAW FUEL SPILLING INTO MY GARAGE AND CAUSING A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD AND POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC LIFE ENDING INCIDENT FOR MYSELF AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED OVER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THESE TYPES OF LATER MODEL FORD TRUCK WITH DUAL GAS TANKS. IT'S A SHAME THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AS OF YET. I GUESS IT WILL TAKE A DEATH OF A SMALL CHILD.. TO GET SOMEONE'S ATTENTION TO HAVE FORD FIX THIS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. *TR

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
