To whom it may concern. I have a 1993 Ford F-150 pickup truck. I have recently experienced the problem with the fuel system described in NHTSA Campaign ID Number 93V125000, NHTSA Action Number EA93001. This defect in the fuel pump causes the fuel drawn from the front tank to be returned to the rear tank. In short time the rear tank capacity can be exceeded causing fuel to spill from filler neck into the environment. Not only is this an environmental issue, it is a major safety issue as the fuel could ignite causing a fire that could easily result in severe injury or death. I have contacted Sanderson Ford in Phoenix asking that they repair this problem under the conditions of the recall and they are refusing to do so. I am asking that NHTSA instruct Ford to repair this problem as described in the recall. Again, this problem causes raw fuel to spill from the tank into the environment causing both and environmental issue along with a major safety issue. The fuel could easily catch fire resulting in severe injury or death.
The recall 00S57 was not done. This was my husbands vehicle and he has since passed away and when I went to get renewal plates for Kentucky since I have moved I saw the recalls and called Ford dealer. They can fix the 05S28 speed control system modification recall which I have scheduled, however they advised parts for repair are no longer available from Ford. I have not had an issue as yet, however since the recall is engine and gas related which could cause a fire, I would like to get the vehicle fixed. Please advise. Thank you

Started hearing fuel pump stay engaged after turning engine off and could smell fuel during these times. Fueled up rear tank next morning and when I arrived at work and got out with truck still running there was gasoline pouring out from the front gas tank spiller neck at an alarming rate. When I selected the front tank it stopped flowing. Next day while in traffic at light When I engaged the gas pedal and fished tailed due to a puddle off gasoline dumping from truck onto rd. In front of rear tires. Started having poor acceleration and seemed as if truck wasn’t getting enough fuel or lacked power. Still has open recall so I brought it to Ford dealership explain the issue and also that cross fuel flow in those year trucks has a recall for same issue. Trucks been there 2 weeks and I’m being told it’s to be $2700 to replace both fuels pumps and shuttle valves. I showed them video of gas pouring from the truck and showed them fords recall and remedy for issue. They said they will not fix this problem in truck and I must cover cost. This after knowing of recall and seeing a video of fuel spillage will not cover cost. This is unsafe I feel as any source of ignition may cause a fire from immediate gas spillages. Ford said they would over do repair if 12 years from start of warranty date of truck or Under 150k . Truck is under that mileage . But refuse to make repair under prior recall even though this is extremely dangerous situation to be driving truck. Trucks still in shop and I’m awaiting for a response from Ford corporate as I contacted them to explain issue in hopes they would honor repair as I feel it necessary for the safety of myself, family, and those others whom may be hurt in the event an accident occurs.
I JUST GOT THIS TRUCK USED AND REALIZED IT HAS DUAL GAS TANKS BUT ONLY THE REAR GAS TANK WORKS. I PUT GAS IN BOTH TANKS NOT KNOWING THAT I REALIZED AFTER THAT THE FRONT TANK DOESN'T WORK... THE NEXT MORNING I NOTICED GAS SPILLING OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK BECAUSE SOME OF THE GAS FROM THE REAR TANK IS GOING INTO THE FRONT 1 AND MAKING IT OVERFLOW.
FUEL IS SPEWING FROM THE GAS TANK /CAP WHERE YOU FILL IT. WHEN THE TRUCK IS PARKED THE GAS CAP HISSES LIKE IT IS PRESSURIZED. GAS IMMEDIATELY STARTS POURING OUT OF THE GAS CAP AND EVEN SPEWS OUT. I'VE TAKEN SPECIAL CARE NOT TO OVERFILL EITHER TANK. I AM CONCERNED THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING, IT STARTS, SPUTTERS AND THEN STOPS.
NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 00V424000 - FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR ISSUES - TRUCK LOSES POWER DUE TO LACK OF FUEL AND NOW IT IS TRANSFERRING FUEL BETWEEN TANKS WHILE DRIVING.

1993 FORD F-150 1/2 TON PICKUP WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE FRONT TANK IS BEING FILLED BY THE REAR TANK AND WILL OVER FILL THE FRONT TANK. WHEN THE FRONT TANK IS SELECTED THE ENGINE RUNS VERY ROUGH BUT WHEN THE REAR TANK IS SELECTED THE ENGINE RUNS NORMAL. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE FRONT TANK FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND EVENTUALLY THE REAR TANK FUEL PUMP AS WELL. I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, AND FUEL FILTER. *TR
1993 FORD F-150 4WD FRONT BUMPER CAN OFF, ALL BOLTS MISSING ONLY 1 U-CLIPS PRESENT AND IT IS BROKEN. YESTERDAY (7/22/2010) I HAD TRAVELED TO MY SISTERS HOME, ABOUT 2 MILES FROM MY HOME. ON RETURNING I PARKED MY TRUCK AS USUAL AND WENT INTO MY HOUSE. ABOUT I HOUR LATER AS COMING OUT OF MY HOUSE AND HEADING FOR THE GARAGE, THAT WAS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER WAS TILTED DOWN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WENT TO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO LIFT THE FRONT BUMPER UP OFF THE FRAME. IT WAS JUST HANGING ON. I'VE CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY PROBLEM. I DID CHECK THE NHTSA WEB SITE AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON MY TRUCK BACK IN 1994 (#94V018000). THIS AFTERNOON I DID CALL THE FORD CUSTOMER CENTER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEIR REPLY WAS YES THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE TRUCK BUT NOT FOR MINE BECAUSE IT WAS MADE AT ANOTHER PLACE. I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND, IT THAT RECALL HAD LIMITATIONS WHY ARE THEY NOT SHOWN ON THE RECALL SUMMARY? THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK AS THE RECALL SHOWN? THANK YOU, *TR

THERE SEEMS TO BE A BAD PROBLEM WITH ALL THE LIGHTNING F150 PICKUP TRUCKS 93 TO 95. THEY ARE ALL GETTING A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WE CALL DEATH WOBBLE,IT IS A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FRONT SUSPENSION. IT CAN CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I BELONG TO A LIGHTNING CLUB WORLD WIDE AND THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS ALL THE LIGHTNING F150 PICKUP TRUCKS. WE IN THE LIGHTNING CLUB COMMUNITY CANNOT PIN POINT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. SOME SAY THE METAL BRACKETS ARE CRACKING WHICH HOLD THE FRONT SUSPENSION TOGETHER, BAD DESIGN FROM FORD. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERYTIME YOU DRIVE THE TRUCK.WHEN THE TRUCKS ARE TAKEN TO A SHOP ,THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. WE WOULD LIKE FORD TO FIX OR TELL US ALL WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CAN TELL ALL OWNERS TO FILE A COMPLAINT TOO IF YOU WISH. *TR
