1) IN 1992 WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 1992 F150 FORD P.U. WITH DUEL FUEL TANKS, GAS ENGINE. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNERS. WE HAD FUEL TANK PROBLEMS IN APRIL 1994. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON 4-27-94 WHERE CONCERN #93568 AND CONCERN CODE #N99 WAS NOTED ON WORKSHEET AND COMMENTS OF REPAIR WERE "R&R FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR...SKID PLATE TANKS. INSTALLED CHECK VALVES. CHECK FOR LEAKS - OK." 2) IN MAY 2005 WE EXPERIENCED FUEL OVERFLOW FROM THE REAR TANK FILLER CAP. WHEN THE FILLER CAP WAS REMOVED FUEL GUSHED OUT. FRONT TANK WAS BEING USED AT THE TIME. WE SWITCHED TO USING REAR TANK. WE TOOK VEHICLE TO OUR REPAIR SHOP (NOT AFFILIATED WITH FORD) ON 6-1-05 AND HE INFORMED US OF FUEL CROSS FLOW CAMPAIGN NOTICE #01M05 - DEALER REPAIR AND ADVISED US TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP. JUNE 11, 2005, WHILE SWITCHED TO REAR TANK, FRONT TANK STARTED SPEWING GAS OUT THOUGH FILLER CAP WHILE DRIVING, LEAVING BIG TRAIL OF FUEL ON ROADWAY. WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF, FUEL CONTINUED TO SPEW OUT OF FRONT TANK FILLER CAP ONTO GROUND CREATING FIRE HAZARD. 3) CONTACTED MARILYN OF SANDERSON FORD DEALERSHIP (707-433-6598) IN HEALDSBURG, CA ON 6-15-05 WHERE WE PURCHASED P.U. AND TOLD HER OF PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THAT WE HAD MISSED THE DATES OF FREE REPAIR AS THEY WERE 12 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FROM VEHICLE WARRANTY START DATE. THEY COULD NOT GIVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY WE DID NOT RECIEVE A RECALL NOTICE. WE WERE ADVISED TO CONTACT MANUFACTUER. CONTACTED DAMIAN OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY, CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS (1-800-392-3673) ON 6-15-05 AND WAS TOLD SAME THING, THAT WE HAD MISSED THE TIME FRAME OF FREE REPAIR AND THAT WE WOULD NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE AS WE FEEL IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. WE ARE CONTACTING YOU IN HOPE THAT IT CAN BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. OBVIOUSLY THE TRUCK HAD A PROBLEM IN 1994 AND THAT PROBLEM WAS EXACERBATED IN MAY 2005.

THE OIL PAN ON MY 1992 FORD F-150 RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND HAS BEGUN TO LEAK OIL. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THE REPAIR COST TO BE BETWEEN $300-$400. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM, WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR & ENGINE SIZE (4.9). I AM VERY CONCERNED OF THE COST AND REOCCURRANCE OF THIS PROBLEM! I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF ONE OF THE INTANKS OF OUR (DUAL GAS TANK) FUEL PUMPS. THIS COST ME $385 TO HAVE REPLACED. I BELIEVE I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY PRODUCT! IF THERE IS ANY MEANS OF HAVING THE MANUFACTURER COVER THE REPAIRS OF THIS VEHICLE I WOULD BE GREATFUL FOR THE INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. JAMES WEIGEL. *AK

(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

THE PARKING BRAKE EQULIZER IS A C CHANNEL THAT CONNECTS THE CABLE FROM THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY TO THE TWO CABLES GOING TO THE REAR WHEELS. I HAVE HAD TWO EQULIZERS FAIL. THE FIRST ONE AT38000 MILES. THE SECOND AT 125000 MILES OR ABOUT 80000 MILES LATER. IN BOTH CASES THE EQULIZER BROKE WHERE THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY ATTACHES TO THE EQULIZER. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED AND THE TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE. THE TRUCK HAS A STANDARD TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT MORNING I FOUND THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN RELEASED. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK. THE BRAKE CABLE WAS LOOSE AND LAYING ON THE GROUND.THE ONLY THING KEEPING MY TRUCK FROM ROLLING DOWN MY DRIVE WAS THE TRANSMISSION. BOTH TIMES THE EQULIZER FAILED UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. I THINK THE EQULIZER SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEAVIER STEEL TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *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
