ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OIL PAN RUST THROUGH . THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK AND TO 3 PEOPLE I KNOW. FORD HAS A PROBLEM. THE PANS SHOULD NEVER RUST THROUGH. I SUSPECT THEY USED TOO THIN A GAUGE OF STEEL IN THEIR DRAW DIE TO SAVE A FEW BUCKS. THIS COST A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR, AND FORD SHOULD REIMBURSE ME AND EVERYONE ELSE WITH RUST THROUGH IN THE OIL PANS. *AK

#752501September 24, 2001
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
FUEL SYSTEM RETURNS FUEL FROM THE REAR TANK TO THE FRONT TANK CAUSING AN OVERFLOW PROBLEM. THE FRONT TANK BECOMES PRESSURIZED AND LEAKS FUEL ONTO THE GROUND. THE FUEL SYSTEM ON THIS TRUCK IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND HAS BEEN RECALLED TWICE. THE FIRST RECALL FIXED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARLY BUT THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN. MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND SINCE THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PREFORMED I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. RECENTLY A SECOND RECALL CAME OUT FROM FORD (RECALL #01M05H). WHEN I TRIED TO HAVE MY PROBLEM FIXED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY TRUCK. THE RECALL WORK PREFORMED REPLACED A REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AND FUEL TUBE CONNECTION, BUT I WAS TOLD MY FUEL PUMP IS BAD AND THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE OVERFILLING OF THE FRONT TANK. IT WOULD COST ALMOST $500.00 TO REPAIR MY FUEL SYSTEM. HOW MANY PROBLEMS ARE THERE WITH THE FORD FUEL SYSTEM?*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I DO NOT KMOW WHY MY VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED BUT IF ANYONE ELSES VEHICLE HAS EVER MALFUNCTIONED AS MINE DID, SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED. MY TRUCK JUST STARTED RUNNING FULL THROTTLE FOR NO REASON. LUCKILY I GOT IT STOPPED AND NOONE GOT HURT. I HAVE NOT BEEN TO A MECHANIC YET, SO I DO NOT KNOW THE REASON FOR THE MALFUNCTION. WHAT EVER THE REASON, FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD MAKE THE PART THAT MALFUNCTIONED TO NOT WORK AT ALL, RATHER THAN RUN FULL THROTTLE, SOME ONE COULD BE KILLED.*AK
