SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
UPON SEPARATION OF THE LEFT FRONT FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE, A COMPLETE AND INSTANTANEOUS BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE SECONDARY BRAKE SYSTEM (REAR ABS DRUM BRAKES) WAS INEFFECTIVE EVEN THOUGH THE REAR HALF OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR WAS PROPERLY SERVICED. NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE PRIMARY BRAKE FAILURE TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEM EXISTED WITH THE SECONDARY (REAR) BRAKES. HOW CAN A MODERN DUAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAIL COMPLETELY WITH NO PRIOR INDICATION OF PROBLEMS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE AND STATED "IT WORKS FINE" BUT NO BRAKE WARNING SYSTEM COMPONENTS OR REAR BRAKE COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE OIL PAN IS COMPLETELY RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT IT MADE A HOLE RIGHT THROUGH THE STEEL, CAUSING THE OIL TO SEEP THROUGH. UPON CALLING THE FORD CO. LAST WEEK, I WAS TOLD BY THE REP. THAT THE RUST WAS COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE OIL PAN AND THAT IT WASN'T FORD'S PROBLEM. I THEN CALLED A FEW GARAGES AND THEY ALL TOLD ME THAT THEY'RE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH CORRODED OIL PANS ON F150 PICKUPS AND THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT FORD SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE WILL BE A RECALL. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN WITH A 6 YEAR OLD PICKUP WITH ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE OIL PAN. AGAIN, THIS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT'S NOT TAKEN CARE OF RIGHT AWAY. THANK YOU.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY BACK WHEN THE OIL CHANGE PLACE TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEN CALL FORD UP AND TALKED A REP. HE SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. BUT HE SAID HE WOULD CONTACT HILLER FORD (CLOSED DEALER TO ME) AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WITHIN A WEEK. I NEVER GOT A CALL. I FINALLY HAD TO BRING IT IN THIS WEEK AND GET IT REPLACED BY A PRIVATE GARAGE IN MILWAUKEE. (THE DEALER'S COST WAS WAY OUT OF LINE.). I'M NOT THRILLED BY FORD NOT GETTING BACK TO ME AND THIS JUST SHOWS WHAT THEY THINK OF THERE CUSTOMERS.I'M GOING TO BRING THE PART INTO WORK AND HAVE THE METAL ANYALIZED AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. NO SXAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK
