This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Gasoline is leaking out of the front fuel cap of my 1996 Ford F-150 truck. My truck has dual tanks. I consider this to be a very dangerous problem that could cause a fire or explosion. My research online found NHTSA campaign id number 91V146000. This is the problem my truck is having but it is not currently covered under this recall. I am writing this Sunday evening so I am waiting till morning to contact Ford and report this problem to them. The recall that I found called for replacement of the dual fuel tank selector valve on 1989 Ford F-150's. but since I am having the exact same defect and the effect of such an equipment failure is life threatening I believe the recall needs to be expanded to include all Ford vehicles that have dual fuel tanks.
Recall 93 V 125 000/fuel tank assembly: Portion of unused fuel from one tank had to be returned to the second tank, the second tank exceeded, causing fuel spillages. Spilling could result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition. Dealer was notified, and informed consumer that this vehicle was not covered under recall due to VIN. Feel free to provide any further information.
When filling fuel tank fuel is being pumped from front to back tank, tank will overflow and spill fuel. Consumer only fills tanks halfway to prevent this from happening.
