SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
THE REAR SEATBELTS AND LATCHES DO NOT ANCHOR THROUGH THE "SLIT" WHERE THE SEATBACK AND THE SEAT CUSHION MEET. THE BELTS (AND LATCHES) COME UP THROUGH HOLES IN THE SEAT CUSHION ITSELF. THESE HOLES ARE LOCATED FOREWARD OF THE LINE WHERE THE SEATBACK AND SEAT CUSHION COME TOGETHER. AS A RESULT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SNUG THE CHILD SEAT BASE AGAINST THE BACK OF THE CAR SEAT. EVEN WITH THE BELT VERY TIGHTLY PULLED THE CHILD SEAT MOVES SEVERAL INCHES FOREWARD AT THE BASE AND ROTATES SIDEWAYS. THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL THE CAR SEATS I HAVE TRIED TO FIT IN THE VEHICLE SPECIFY THAT THE BELTS MUST COME THROUGH THE SLIT WHERE THE SEAT CUSHION AND BACK MEET. IS A MODIFICATION AVAILABLE TO REMIDIATE THIS PROBLEM AND MAKE THE INSTALLATION SAFE!! THANK YOU. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE, SUSPENSION
POOR GAS MILEAGE; HAS AVERAGED 15.4 MILES PER GALLON, AND FORD ADVERTISES 16 CITY TO 20 HIGHWAY. OTHER F150 OWNERS REPORT POOR GAS MILEAGE. IS THIS FALSE ADVERTISING BECAUSE I WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED TRUCK GETTING 15.4 MILES PER GALLON WHEN I TRAVEL MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. I HAVE A LOUD RATTLE NOISE UNDER TRUCK AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND MUFFLER HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED! ALSO, VIBRATION VIA GAS PEDAL FROM ENGINE (?) NOTED BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MPH. *AK

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THE CLUTCH SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY LOOSES FLUID LEADING TO NO CLUTCH PEDAL (STAYS ON FLOOR). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, ADDING FLUID TO THE RESERVOIR TEMPORARILY ELIMINATES THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO THE ONLY TWO OTHER PERSONS THAT I KNOW THAT OWN LIKE VEHICLES (F150, 94-95, MANUAL TRANS). THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE YOU ARE UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WORST IN COLDER WEATHER. NOT SURE IF RELATED TO NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: SB052797.
