ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
AT 30,951 MILES THIS VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE A NEW OIL PAN PUT IN, AND A NEW GAS TANK AS THE OTHER ONE WAS LEAKING WHICH CAN POSE A DANGER ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME JUST BY A SIMPLE CIGARETT TO THE GROUND. I DON'T THINK OIL PANS SHOULD RUST OUT. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD. THEY DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH ME FURTHER CLAIMING MY VEHICLE WAS OLD. IN YEARS MAYBE, BUT NOT IN MILEAGE. THE TRANSMISSION LEAK HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AS IT IS EVIDENT THESE ARE INDEED FAULTY PARTS USED BY FORD. HOW CAN AN OIL PAN RUST OUT? A FUEL TANK RUSTING OUT AT THE SAME TIME? ALSO A TRANSMISSION LEAK? I HAVE SENT LETTERS TO NO AVAIL. THEY JUST SAY IT IS BEING FORWARDED. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS TO US, THE COMSUMERS. WE WILL NOT FEEL SAFE IN ANY FORD VEHICLE. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENDED IF THE OIL PAN DECIDED TO GO WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH OTHER DRIVERS. I SHUDDER TO THINK OF A DISASTER THAT COULD HAVE BEEN. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE MYSELF. BUT, CAN YOU HELP ME? SINCERELY, SCOTT WILSON. *AK
