I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL TANKS OVER FLOWING. THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY ADDRESSED IN A RECALL INVLOVING A BACK FLOW PREVENTER VALVE WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER FORD WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE THEN NHTSA THAT THIS WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE.THE PROBLEM IS WITH A DEFCTIVE DESINGED FUEL PUMP. THE PUMP ITSELF WHICH IS LOCATED INSIDE THE GAS TANK HAS A VALVE WHICH ALLOWS THE UN USED GAS TO RETURN TO IT. ON DUEL TANK MODELS, SHOULD THIS VALVE FAIL AND REMAIN OPEN IT WILL ALLOW FUEL TO RETURN TO THE WRONG TANK ALLOWING IT TO OVERFLOW. FORD HAS SINCE, RE-DESINGED THIS PUMP,THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SINCE HAD A PUMP GO OUT AND HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED RECEIVED THE NEWLY DESIGNED PUMP WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THIS PROBLEM . BY HAVING THE PUMP REPLACED ( WHICH IS EXATLY WHAT FORD WANTS TO HAPPEN) FORD WILL CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILTY THER BY REDUCING THEIR COST'S SHOULD A RE-CALL HAPPEN.MY WIFE JUST RE-TURNED HOME ALL UP-SET. SHE HAD THE NEIGHBOR AND HER 1 1/2 YR OLD BABY IN THE TRUCK, SHE HAD JUST STOPPED AND FUELED UP.SHE MADE A STOP AT THE STORE. OUR NEIGHBOR REMAINED IN THE TRUCK WITH THE BABY{WITH THE TRUCK RUNNING FOR THE A/C}. SHE WAS STATLED MY A LADY POUNDING ON THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK QUICKLY, GAS WAS POURING OUT FROM UNDERMEATH. THE TANK WAS OVERFLOWING!!!!!! THIS IS NOT ONLY A SERIOUS FIRE PROBLEM,,,,, BUT A ENVIROMETAL ONE AS WELL!!! HOW MANY FORD TRUCKS DO YOU SUPPOSE ARE ON OUR NATIONS HIGHWAY'S POURING OUT GAS AS THEY GO????

EA99032- FUEL IS PUMPING FROM THE BACK TANK INTO THE FRONT TANK. CONSUMER HAS ON 4 OCCASIONS TESTED IT AND LEFT THE FRONT TANK EMPTY, AND WITHIN A SHORT TIME THE FRONT TANK WILL BE FULL AGAIN. FUEL TANK OF VEHICLE DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY NO MATTER WHAT POSITION THE FUEL SWITCH IS IN. *AK THE RECALL TO REPLACE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND TO INSTALL CHECK VALVE WAS ISSUED BUT THE OWNER IS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE. *YH *SLC
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.
