(MY FORD F-150 - TRUCK - V.I.N-#1FTEX15YONKB68349) THE TRUCK WAS STALLING AND I HAD THE FUEL FILTER CHANGED ON 03/01/04-THINKING THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE TRUCK KEPT TURNING OFF. I WAS PUTTING GASOLINE IN THE BACK TANK AND THEN THE FRONT TANK STARTED OVERFLOWING SO ON 03/11/04 I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK. THEY CHECKED WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING AND THE MECHANIC FOUND OUT THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN ON RECALL FOR CHECK VALVES, WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I CALLED FORD (CHAMPION) IN CORPUS CHRISTI -(361-994-6200)TO FIX IT AND THEY TOLD ME TAKE IT IN BUT THEN THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE MY MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH. IT WAS UNDER THE 12 YEAR WARRANTY, SO I CALLED THE MAIN OFFICE & SAID THE SAME THING. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND HE DID THE JOB. I HAD PREVIOUSLY PAID $31.77 FOR THE FUEL FILTER CHANGE THEN $42.10 TO CHECK WHY IT KEPT TURNING OFF AND THE INITIAL FEE FOR THE VALVE TO BE INSTALLED WAS $212.96 - TOTAL AMOUNT SPEND - $286.83. *AK

DEALER PERFORMED FORD RECALL 93S68 TWICE ON MY VEHICLE WHICH DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. FUEL CROSSFLOW STILL OCCURRED FROM REAR TANK TO FRONT TANK RESULTING IN A HAZARDOUS CONDITION THAT THE RECALL WAS MEANT TO CORRECT. RETURNED TRUCK TO FORD DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME TO CORRECT THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS CHARGED $602.90 TO REPLACE FRONT FUEL PUMP. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL RECALL DID NOT ALLEVIATE THE HAZARDOUS CONDITION. *LA
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
