1989 Ford F-250

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1989 FORD F-250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, ONE OF THE FUEL TANKS OVERFLOWED WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSED FUEL TO LEAK FROM THE FILLED TUBE. THE CONTACT CALLED SHULTS FORD LINCOLN AT 724-934-2388 (LOCATED AT 10401 PERRY HWY, WEXFORD, PA 15090) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR SO I COULD PULL ON TO THE HIGHWAY, I SMELLED GAS. I LOOKED IN MY SIDE MIRROR AND SAW GASOLINE GUSHING OUT OF MY FRONT FUEL TANK. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY UNDER PRESSURE BUT THE FUEL DOOR FORTUNATELY KEPT IT FROM SPRAYING ACROSS THE ROAD. I APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THE OTHER TWO COMPLAINT FILERS HAVE HAD AND REFERENCED THE SAME FORD RECALL CAMPAIGN OF 91V146000. IF I AM EVER ABLE TO GET THROUGH TO THE NUMBER FOR THE FORD RECALL (313) 446-4654 I AM SUPPOSED TO REFERENCE RECALL NUMBER 91S39. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND HAVE ONLY 22000 TOTAL MILES ON IT SO THE FAILURE CANNOT BE DUE TO MILEAGE. THIS RECALL APPLIED TO QUITE A FEW MODELS OF FORD FOR 1989. THE TWO PRIOR COMPLAINTS HAVE APPARENTLY BEEN IGNORED-------PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH 1989'S AROUND TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT UNLESS SOMEBODY GETS KILLED AT WHICH TIME I HOPE SOMEBODY REMEMBERS THIS WEBSITE. *TR
