HUNDREDS FORD CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT SAME ISSUE, THIS AFFECTS ALL FORD VEHICLES USING CAP LESS DESIGN. FROM WHAT I READ ON THE WEB CURRENTLY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED FORD MOTOR CO. WARRANTY GROUP AND OPEN A CASE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. MY TRUCK CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSIS THE FAULT CODE. I WAS A DESIGN ENGINEER AT JOHN DEERE FOR 13 YEARS, A PROBLEM FUEL STORAGE COULD BE DANGEROUS AND FATAL. FUEL SYSTEM DESIGN PROBLEM L SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED AND RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY DURING DEVELOPMENT & TESTING FOR THIS TRUCK. I HOPE NHTSA ADDRESS THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND GET THIS ISSUE RECALL LIST.

OUR TRUCK WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. WE HAD ENTERED A STORE ABOUT TWELVE MINUTES BEFORE. NO ONE WAS IN THE TRUCK AND IT WAS TURNED OFF. SOMEONE CAME RUNNING INTO THE STORE AND YELLED THERE IS A GREEN FORD F 150 ON FIRE IN THE PARKING LOT. WE RAN OUT TO SEE THE TRUCK UP IN FLAMES. AFTER THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT THE CAB HAD MELTED AND ALL THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE.WAS BURNED AND MELTED. THE WINDSHIELD HAD. RACKED AND BROKEN IN MANY PIECES FROM THE HOT FIRE. HAD AAA TOW THE TRUCK TO A AUTO REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS TOTALED CALLED FORD CO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINTS OF A SPONTANEOUS FIRE WITH THESE TRUCKS. TODAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY DETERMINED IT SHOULD JUST BE HANDLED WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY. AAA HAD NOT SENT THEM ANY PAPERWORK YET ON THE INCIDENT. BUT THEY DETERMINED WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT EVIDENCE WAS GOING TO BE REPORTED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO HANDLE IT. FOUND ON GOOGLE A COMPLAINT SIGHT WHERE 44 PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THE FORD CO AND THE WAY THEY JUST DUMPED THIS ISSUE. *JS

APPROACHING AN YELLOW LIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH I HIT THE GAS PEDAL HARD FOR PASSING GEAR. THE ACCELERATOR STUCK, THE ENGINE ROARING, I HAD TO STEP AS HARD AS POSSIBLE TO STOP THE TRUCK SO I WOULD NOT HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ENGINE WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING FORCING ME TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK. SHOCKED, I SAT IN TRAFFIC FOR A MOMENT BEFORE I RESTARTED THE ENGINE, BUT IT IMMEDIATELY WENT TO FULL SPEED AGAIN, FORCING ME TO AGAIN TURN OFF THE ENGINE. MY FRIEND CLIMBED OUT AND PUSHED ME OUT OF TRAFFIC. AFTER SITTING IN A PARKING LOT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES I AGAIN STARTED THE ENGINE AND IT STARTED NORMALLY. *JS
