NHTSA Complaint #10126765 — 1993 FORD F SERIES

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THE FUEL TANK SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM WITH A BAD PART THAT KEEPS THE FUEL TANKS FROM PUMPING FROM ONE TANK TO ANOTHER. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO EL CAJON FORD IN EL CAJON CALIFORNIA, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IF I HAD NO PROBLEM HE WAS NOT GOING TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 125,000 MILE ON IT. I WAS THEN IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING TO OREGON. AT ABOUT 151,000 THE VEHICLE STARTED PUMPING FUEL FROM THE REAR TANK TO THE FRONT TANK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FLORENCE FORD IN FLORENCE OREGON AND THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. I CALLED THE FORD MANUFACTURE AND THEY SAID TO BAD. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION AND AGAIN THEY SAID TO BAD. I THEN SAID I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID I HAVE NO REASON TO COMPLAIN AND HUNG UP THE PHONE. HAD EL CAJON FORD FIXED THE PROBLEM I WOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM NOW. I AM GLAD FOR THE RECALL NOTICE HAD I NOT BEEN NOTIFED MY TRUCK PROABLY WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE BY NOW. AS FOR MY SUPPORT FOR FORD I AM LOOSING FAITH. I HAVE MOST RECENTLY BOUGHT A FORD RANGER I USED IT MOSTLY TO VISIT MY DYING FATHER, DRIVING FROM SAN DIEGO TO OREGON, AND THEN MOVING TO OREGON. MY VEHICLE WAS JUST OUT OF WARRENTY WHEN I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND THEN SOME MILES LATER REPLACE THE WATER PUMP. I HAVE LOST MY FAITH IN FORD. I BEING THIRD GENERATION FORD COMSUMER HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. ON THE OTHER HAND MY DAUGHTER HAS A 95 TOYOTA, 200,000 ON IT AND HAS HAD ON REAL PROBLEM. OR A LIFE THREATING PROBLEM.
