I HAVE A 1992 FORD F150 SUPERCAB 4X4 TRUCK WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS. I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. LAST WEEK, I FILLED THE REAR TANK, DROVE 30 MILES TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, AND MY FUEL GAUGE WAS REGISTERING 1/2 OF A TANK. ON THE 30 MILE DRIVE HOME, THE FUEL GAUGE WENT FROM 1/2 TO EMPTY. I ASSUMED THAT I HAD LOST THE SENSOR IN THE REAR TANK AS WELL. LAST NIGHT, ON THE DRIVE HOME, I REFUELED MY REAR TANK JUST TO BE SURE I HAD ENOUGH FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS MORNING, WHEN I EXITED MY TRUCK AT WORK, FUEL WAS POURING OUT OF THE FRONT TANK FILL CAP. WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THE CAP TO RELEASE PRESSURE, FUEL SHOT OUT APPROXIMATELY 1-2 FEET. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FOUND RECALL ID 93V12500. WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECORD OF A RECALL FOR THIS. I THEN CONTACTED NHTSA, WHO INFORMED ME TO CONTACT FORD MANUFACTURING. I CONTACTED FORD, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT FALL UNDER A RECALL, AND WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR, I WAS REFUSED AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WOULD BE DONE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 FORD F150. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS IDLING, FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CHECK VALVE FAILED AND CAUSED FUEL TO LEAK FROM THE REAR TANK INTO THE FRONT TANK. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 93V125000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY); HOWEVER, THEY WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 113,000. UPDATED 01/07/08. *LJ UPDATED 12/31/07 *TR

FORD F150 1992 FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. FORD CONSUMER HOTLINE REPORTS THAT RECALL WAS PERFORMED AT LUNDEEN BROTHERS AUTO (ANNANDALE, MN). DEALERSHIP HAS NO RECORD OF IT. THE CHECK VALVE HAS GONE OUT AGAIN, WE ARE LEAKING GAS. TO ME, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. FORD SAID TO CONTACT THEM IF IT CATCHES ON FIRE!! I NOTICED ON YOUR WEBSITE YOU HAVE AN OPEN INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE. VIN#[XXX] THANK YOU. [XXX]. *NM UPDATED 07/11/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FUEL FROM THE REAR TANK OF MY TRUCK IS SOMEHOW GETTING INTO THE FRONT TANK. IN LOOKING INTO THIS I FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 01I008000 WHICH DESCRIBES THIS EXACT CONDITION. I CONTACTED FORD AT THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION AND THE FORD REPRESENTATIVE TELLS ME THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED BY THIS CAMPAIGN. WHEN I ASKED HOW VEHICLES GET ASSIGNED TO CAMPAIGNS SHE SAID IT IS DONE BY NHTSA. THEREFORE I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO TRY TO GET MY TRUCK REPAIRED UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL PUMP VALVE MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING FUEL SPILLAGE. ALSO, THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 93V125000 AND 94V169001, REGARDING THE STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY AND PARKING BRAKE. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALLS; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION.

DT: 1992 FORD F150 TRUCK. IN THE FUEL SYSTEM, SOMETHING IS WRONG. THE VEHICLE HAS TWO FUEL TANKS, AND THE GAS FROM REAR PUMPS INTO THE FRONT TANK. THE GAS IS COMING OUT THE GAS CAP. THERE NHTSA CAMPAIGN RECALL 93V125000 . SPOKEN TO THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY SAID THE TRUCK WAS TOO OLD AND HAS TO MANY MILES ON IT FOR THE RECALL TO STILL BE IN EFFECT. THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. CALLED A DEALER, AND THEY HAVEN'T RETURNED CONSUMER'S CALLS. CONSUMER DID NOT KNOW HOW MUCH THIS WILL COST TO BE REPAIRED. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THIS HAPPEND EVER TIME THE REAR TANK WAS FULL. THE FRONT FUEL PUMP IS NOT WORKING CURRENTLY. *AK

DT: CONTACT OWNED A 1992 F-150 FORD PICKUP. GASOLINE WAS OVERFLOWING FROM THE FILLER CAP. THE GAS FROM THE REAR TANK WAS OVERFLOWING INTO THE FRONT TANK, CAUSING GASOLINE TO FLOW FREELY. THERE WAS A RECALL 93V125000 FOR THE 1993 MODELS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT FOR THE 1992 MODEL. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION OF 12 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES ON THE 1992 MODELS. THE CONTACT HAD THE CAR OVER 12 YEARS. THE CONTACT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON JULY 29, 2005 AND THE DEALER CONTACTED SOMEONE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *AK *SC

NHTSA RECALL 01I008000; FORD ISSUED A FUEL CROSS FLOW RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT EXPERIENCED OVER FLOW OF GAS IN ONE TANK. *AK....FORD NEVER CONTACTED CONSUMER ABOUT ANY RECALLS 93V125000 AND 01I008000 AND THEN REFUSED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. CONSUMER EXPERIENCED POOR GAS MILEAGE AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE THE FUEL WAS GOING. CONSUMER RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT WHEN PLACING FUEL IN THE REAR TANK IT WAS PUMPED INTO THE FRONT TANK WHICH WOULD FILL TO CAPACITY WHEN LEFT EMPTY. PREVIOUSLY, CONSUMER BLAMED THE POOR GA SMILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE'S AGE, BUT CURRENTLY REALIZED THAT GAS WAS BEING PUMPED OUT OF THE TANK. THIS REPRESENTED A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. ALSO, COULD BE CONSIDERED AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE SINCE FUEL WAS BEING PUMPED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. *AK
