Ford has issued a recall for defective fuel tank straps that may corrode and cause a potential fuel leak. I brought my truck in for the recall and sure enough my straps are corroded. The vehicle is at a Ford dealership and they will not replace the straps because the corroded straps have started to corrode the tank. According to the dealer the tank will begin leaking if they replace the straps. The dealer called Ford customer care and they would not cover the tank. I also called Ford and they refused to cover the tank and also will not replace the straps unless I purchase a tank from them to replace. If my straps break I will lose my tank and potentially cause a fire or accident to another vehicle. The recall does not currently address additional damage caused by the defective straps. The damage to my tank is a direct result of the defective straps and should be covered under this recall. I leave in new england and am sure there are many other Ford trucks with the same problem. What recourse do I have to get this resolved? spoke with mark, a customer service supervisor at Ford customer care in florida, case # 607483151. Any assistance would be appreciated,.
My truck was parked on my driveway, and had not been driven in about 2wks. I didn't even think that the battery had a charge. My [kathy] wife and a salesman and I just happened to be standing a few feet away having a conversation, when we smelled wires burning. I quickly raised the hood of the truck to see the plug wires connected to the brake master cylcender smoking. At that time I of course disconnected it.

Parked my Ford f150 in front of my house last evening about 6pm. Nothing out of the ordinary about the way the truck was running or operating. Was awakend at 3am this morning to my neighbor banging on my door,screaming "your truck is on fire!" I woke my husband, he and the neighbor put the fire out before fire dept showed up. All said and done. The investigation continued after day light, to find out that it was the cruise control recall part! recall was in 1999, I bought the 2000 Ford in 2003 used. Never recieved a letter about the recall and assumed that it had been repaired prior to me purchasing the vehicle. I called Ford.

I had my 2000 Ford f150 at the dealer before the bumper to bumber ran out with 31000 miles on the truck there was recalls on it for the back window leaking and other things like the speed control I notice the frame and crossmembers rusting out at this time the paint was not doing its job all they had too do was to paint it but they refused to do it, now there is a recall on just the fuel tank straps what about the tank and the frame and crossmembers this truck is a hazard to be on the road this truck should have been fixed at the time when I noticed the problem. The truck has about 78000 original miles on it now and the body looks like it is in real good shape but the frame and crossmembers look like they have 250000 miles on it. Is there anything that can be done about this because Ford did not do what they should have done back when there was only 31000 miles on it. I only use the truck to go to the doctors and tow a boat 4 or 5 times a year the truck sits in the driveway most of the time. Toyota recalled a lot of trucks with this problem frames rusting out beyond repair they had to replace the owners with new trucks or refund the money they paid for them. The Toyota's was about the same year as my Ford there is a defect in the steel that they used for my truck please help.
The spare tire housing cable broke loose and the spare tire fell off. This occurred while driving on a dirt road at a very low speed. As a result, the rear of the truck lifted off the road. The cause of the cable breaking is yet to be determined. The cable had a clean break and had no rust. Please provide any additional information.
