BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER RECALL OF '93. WHEN CONTACTING OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WE WERE TOLD OUR VIN# DID NOT COME UP THEREFORE MEANING THAT THE PART WAS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL ONCE ALREADY. THE CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ASSY CAUSES A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO BE RETURNED TO THE SECOND TANK WHICH IS CAUSING THE CAPACITY OF THE SECOND TANK TO CAUSE FUEL SPILLAGE.

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! …

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

WHEN BOTH FUEL TANKS ARE FULL, PRESSURE BUILDS UP AND FORCES FUEL TO SPEW OUT OF ONE OF THE GAS CAPS. I HAVE HAD A COUPLD OF MOTORISTS FLAG ME DOWN TO TELL THIS AND THEN WHEN I STOP IT CONTINUES TO SPURT OUT FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN BOTH TANKS ARE LESS THAN FULL, THE FUEL WILL RETURN TO THE EMPTIER TANK EVERY TIME UNTIL BOTH TANKS BALANCE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE PRESSURE BUILD UP AND FUEL TO SPURT OUT OF THE GAS CAP. THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN HANDLED ON A RECALL NOTICE BY THE PRIOR OWNER OF MY TRUCK SO I AM TOLD BY FORD THAT THEIR OBLIGATION IS DONE. MY OPINION IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS STILL A SAFETY THREAT FROM FORDS PARTS (EVEN A SECOND SET OF PARTS AFTER THE RECALL). FORD INSISTS THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS. I AM HAVING MY MECHANIC FIX THIS FOR ME AT A PRICE OF NEARLY $800 SO I FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT FORD WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

FORD "FIXED" THE CHECK VALVE ISSUE SOME YEARS AGO WHEN THE RECALL FIRST CAME OUT, AT THAT TIME THE TRUCK HAD NO SYMPTOMS. NOW WHEN I CHOOSE THE FRONT TANK THE FUEL FLOWS BACK INTO THE REAR TANK. FORD REFUSES TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AGAIN STATING THAT THEY FIXED IT IN THE 90'S. *AK

THE PARKING BRAKE CONTROL SELF-ADJUST PAWL DOES NOT LINE UP PROPERLY WITH THE SELF-ADJUST RACHET CAUSING THE PAWL TO SLIP OVER ONE OR MORE TEETH IN THE RACHET.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE ABOVE OCCURS, IT CAN RESULT IN PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM INEFFECTIVENESS. THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY, IF THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT LEFT IN GEAR.
Remedy: A WEDGE WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL SERVE TO LOCK THE PARKING BRAKE SELF-ADJUST MECHANISM PAWL INTO ENGAGEMENT WITH THE RACHET. ALSO, OWNERS WILL BE ADVISED TO RELEASE AND REAPPLY THE PARKING BRAKE WHENEVER TOOTH SKIP OCCURS AND WILL BE REMINDED TO ALWAYS TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN GEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.
A MALFUNCTIONING CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY CAUSES A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO BE RETURNED TO THE SECOND TANK. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE CAPACITY OF THE SECOND TANK CAN BE EXCEEDED, CAUSING FUEL SPILLAGE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SPILLED FUEL CAN RESULT IN A FIRE WHEN EXPOSED TO ASOURCE OF IGNITION.
Remedy: REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND INSTALLATION OF REDUNDANT CHECK VALVES.
WATER CAN ENTER THE DOOR LATCH RELEASE CABLE. IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES, THE WATER IN THE DOOR LATCH RELEASE CABLE CAN FREEZE AND CAUSE THE LATCH MECHANISM TO MALFUNCTION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE MALFUNCTION OF THE DOOR LATCH RELEASE CAN RESULT INTHREE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS: 1) THE DOOR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE RELATCHED, 2) THEINSIDE DOOR HANDLE CAN BECOME INOPERATIVE, AND 3) THE DOOR COULD APPEAR TO BELATCHED WHEN IT IS NOT, ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY IF IT IS JARRED,AND INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE ADJACENT SEAT OCCUPANT.
Remedy: REVISED DOOR RELEASE CABLES AND WATER SHIELDS WILL BE INSTALLED.
