SUSPENSION
IN JAN. 2012 I PURCHASED A FORD F-250 RATED TO TOW 14,000 LBS. I TRADED IN A FORD F-150 RATED AT 7,700 LBS. WHEN I HOOKED MY CAMPER TO MY 2000 F-150 THE TRUCK DID NOT SAG OR SQUAT AT ALL. LOOKING TO UPGRADE, I SPOKE TO SEVERAL SALES PEOPLE AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. I WAS ASSURED THAT THE F-250 SUPER DUTY WOULD BY FAR OUT PERFORM MY OLD TRUCK. IT DOES NOT. THIS NEW F-250 SQUATS SO BAD IT IS RIDICULOUS. ON 6-18-12 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER AT WHICH I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND COMPLAINED OF THIS MATTER, ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SPRINGS. YET, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD SEND ME TO A THIRD PARTY OUT OF STATE SHOP, TO HAVE SPRINGS MADE AND SPLIT THE COST WITH ME, BECAUSE THAT WAS CHEAPER THAN USING GENUINE FORD SPRINGS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, AS I DID NOT SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A NEW FORD ONLY TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE FIX FORDS PROBLEMS. I CONTACTED FORD H.Q. AND EXPLAINED MY SITUATION. AFTER BEING ON HOLD FOR SOME TIME, THE PERSON AT H.Q. EXPLAINED THAT HE HAD SPOKE TO, AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT MY DECISION TO BUY THIS TRUCK, WAS BASED LARGELY ON FRAUDULENT STATEMENTS MADE BY BOTH FORD SALES PEOPLE AND FORD LITERATURE ALIKE. I HAVE WITNESSES TO THE STATEMENTS OF THE SALES PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS TO THE FACT THAT MY OLD TRUCK DID NOT SAG AT ALL. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF NEW TRUCK HOOKED TO TRAILER AND SAGGING. ## INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1990 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A DAYS AFTER SWITCHING ONE OF THE FUEL TANKS, FUEL STARTED TO SPEW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONCE THE CAP WAS RELEASE AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, THE FUEL SPILL COULD BE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RETURN VALVE WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE TANKS, WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO ENTER THE SECOND TANK AND OVERFLOW. AS A RESULT THE FUEL PUMP FAILURE, THE JUMPER AND THE ROLL-OVER VALVES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 93V125000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 116,105.
