Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After filling up with gas and continuing on the highway, we began to smell gas fumes. Upon our arrival at home, we noticed the gas tank was hanging by the fuel line and front strap. The rear strap had broke (from rust) and fuel filler hose was often broken off the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10423940, filed 2011-09, 140,000 miles“Vehicle had a full fuel tank (approx 38 gallons). Vehicle was parked in a shopping plaza. When I returned to the vehicle I found the gas tank had fallen to the ground. The rear support strap had failed from corrosion. The front strap was still intact but severely corroded as well. Fuel lines into the top of the tank were severed due to the strap failure. Vehicle was purchased new and is lightly used, thus the low mileage for the year of the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10463944, filed 2012-07, 98,000 miles“Fuel leak on h2o drain valve at fuel filter on 1999 7.3 power stroke Ford truck. This is a wide sread problem as the dealership is selling 3 to 4 of these valves per week.”
NHTSA complaint #10148344, filed 2006-01, 124,000 miles“The dealership claims that Ford has been experiencing problems with spark plugs just blowing out of the heads in newer Ford vehicles. This causes the coil on top of the spark to shatter against the hood of the vehicle and the injectors continue to pump fuel into the cylinder. The coil is producing random sparking to any ground it can find. If a person didn't stop immediately, this condition might likely cause an engine fire.”
NHTSA complaint #767391, filed 2002-09“Consumer received information however dealer had not yet recieved any information on recall 99v-311 for the fuel tank system thus it was not repaired.”
