What owners report
DT: THE CROSS OVER OF THE FUEL IMPROPERLY OVERFILLS THE SECOND TANK, SPILLING FUEL OUT OF VEHICLE. THERE WERE 2 SAFETY RECALLS OF THIS ITEM. BUT FORD WAS SAYING THAT ONE RECALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY A PREVIOUS OWNER. THE SECOND RECALL EXPIRED, AND FORD WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. FORD HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY THE CUSTOMER AND THE REPAIR FACILITY. FORD WAS STILL NOT WILLING TO HELP. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE CUSTOMER WAS HAVING IT REPAIRED AT HIS OWN EXPENSE. IF THERE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OFF BY DEALER NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT COMES UP.*AK *JB
VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIRS ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. VEHICLE HAD DUEL GAS TANKS. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED BECAUSE ONE TANK WOULD PUMP GAS INTO THE OTHER TANK, AND WHEN IT WAS FULL IT WOULD SPILL OVER, CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. AFTER RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE THE PROBLEM RECURRED. CONSUMER FELT THAT THE PROPER WORK FOR THE RECALL WAS INSUFFICIENTLY DONE BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING CURRENTLY. *AK
WHILE TRAVELING, THE CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND SAW THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL. FIRESTONE STEELTEX, LT 265/75R16. *AK *SCC *JB
I AM SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER, I AM TED SCHORE OF OCALA,FL PINEYWOODS AUTOMOTIVE 352-629-6727 THE CUSTOMER HAD THE TRUCK TOWED IN BECAUSE OF A NO START (BATTERY WAS BAD) AND AFTER THE REPAIR AND RUNNING NOTICED A FUEL SMELL AND LARGE FUEL LEAK FROM THE BELL HOUSING AREA. THE LEAK WAS FROM THE FUEL RETURN LINE FROM THE PRESSURE REGULATOR TO THE CONNECTION TO THE LINE FROM THE TANK, APPROX 12 INCHES LONG AND METAL. THE PINCH WELD ABOVE THE BELL HOUSING RUBBED THE LINE THROUGH. I CHECK FOR SERVICE BULLETINS AND RECALLS AND FOUND A RECALL NUMBER 94S80, I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TO ARRANGE TOWING AND FOR THE RECALL TO BE PERFORMED AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE BY BAY H
THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES FOR THE FORD F-SERIES DUAL FUEL TANK DESIGN FLAW. WHEN BOTH TANKS ON MY TRUCK ARE FILLED TO CAPACITY, ONE TANK WILL EMPTY ITS CONTENTS INTO THE OTHER FULL FUEL TANK AND WILL SPRAY OUT FUEL ON TO THE ROAD AND OTHER VEHICLES POSING A GREAT FIRE HAZARD. EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED ON MY TRUCK BY THE LOCAL DEALER (MCCULLOM FORD IN SPOKANE WA) THEY HAVE RETURNED MY TRUCK WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE PERFORMED FORDS RECOMMENDED FIX AND THAT IT HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A FORD MOTOR CO. DESIGN FLAW. I WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ON HOW I CAN HAVE THIS UNSAFE CONDITION ADDRESSED. T
