POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION(AODE) SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARSH FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL SHIFT SMOOTHLY, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT AMOUNT OF POWER IS APPLIED IT SHIFTS EITHER HARSH OR SMOOTH WHEN IT WANTS TO. CHANGED FLUID AND FOUND COURSE ALUMINUM SHAVINGS IN PAN, BUT ONLY EXTREMELY FINE FERROUS METAL PARTICLES ON MAGNET. AFTER INITIAL FLUID CHANGES(I HAVE DONE SEVERAL) THE TRANSMISSION OPERATES SMOOTHLY FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 20 TO 30 MILES THEN BEGINS SHIFTING HARSH AGAIN. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I OWN A 95 FORD F150, THE FRAME OF THE DOOR IN WHICH THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY IS MOUNTED TO IS TORN. THE TEARS ARE IN THE DOOR WHERE THE ASSEMBLY HAS A TAB THAT SLIDES INTO THE DOOR AND WHERE THE ASSEMBLY BOLTS TO THE DOOR. THIS GIVES TOO MUCH AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO OPEN THE VEHICLE FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN CREATE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN TRYING TO EVACUATE THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF FIRE OR EMINENT DANGER. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD FOR $80 AND TWO WEEKS OF WAIT THEY COULD WELD THE TORN AREAS. I THEN CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS WAS NOT AN ITEM THAT WAS RECALLED. A SOLUTION TO THIS WOULD BE TO HAVE AN ACTUAL CROSS BRACE TO BOLT THE ASSEMBLY TO AND NOT THE THIN SHEET METAL BODY OF THE DOOR, THICKER METAL ON THE SKIN OF THE DOOR, OR A WAY TO DISTRIBUTE THE STRESS MORE EVENLY.*AK

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THIS PROBLEM WAS WORKED ON TWICE IN 1996, TWICE IN 1997, ONCE IN 1998, AND ONCE IN 2000. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I HAVE A FAMILY AND CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THEM AND ME. WE HAVE ALREADY FOUGHT FORD UNDER THE LEMON LAW FOR ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE IN 1993. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
REAR FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND WAS REQUESTED TO BE REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. REP FOR WARRANTY WAS CALLED IN AND INSPECTED FUEL TANK. REP SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE TANK HAD RUSTED. I QUESTED SERVICE MANAGER AS TO WHY A STAINLESS STEEL FUEL TANK WOULD RUST OUT IN FOUR YEARS AND ONLY 52360 MILES AS I HAVE DRIVEN VEHICLES 200,000 MILES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A RUSTED TANK. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A PROTECTIVE MATTING ON THE TANK TO PROTECT FROM VIBRATION AND ABRATION. THE PROBLEM WITH THE MATTING WAS THAT IT WOULD COLLECT MOISTURE AND DUE TO ITS LOCATION, DOES NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO DRY OUT COMPLETELY. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THIS, BUT NOT MANY. HE DI WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I HAVE SINCE TALKED WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM OF WHICH FORD DOES NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE OR CHANGE. IS THIS BECAUSE OF THEIR PAST PROBLEMS WITH TANK EXPLOSIONS? IT MAY NOT BE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT COULD BE EASILY TAKEN CARE OF. IF NOT, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER POTENTIAL SAFTEY HAZARD. OR MAYBE THEY JUST WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE AND KEEP SELLING $500.00 REPLACEMENT TANKS EVERY FOUR OR FIVE YEARS. I HAVE EVERY PACKAGE YOU CAN BUY ON THIS TRUCK, INCLUDING RUST PROOF AND UNDER COATING. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR THOUGHTS OR INFORMATION TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT YOU MIGHT PROVIDE ON THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
GASOLINE IS STEADILY DRIPPING FROM THE FRONT OF THE FRONT FUEL TANK. INSPECTION REVEALS THAT THE GASOLINE IS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT SEAM OF THE TANK, THE TANK HAS NOT BEEN PUNCTURED OR SUBJECT TO ANY ABUSIVE TREATMENT. THE DEALER AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THAT THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE LEAKING TANK PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALLS AT THIS TIME. A FUEL TANK SHOULD BE ROBUST IN DESIGN TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE IN NORMAL SERVICE WITHOUT LEAKING FUEL. THE LEAKING GASOLINE TANK IS A FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZZARD. IT IS UNFORGIVABLE THAT FORD WILL NOT REPAIR THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT AND THE POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM OF GASOLINE LEAKING.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
VEHICLE LOST OIL PRESSURE AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY . WHEN I NOTICED THE FAILURE ON MY PRESSURE GAGE I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE. WE THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GARAGE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, THE MACHANIC SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE SPUN A BERRING ON THE CRANK. EVERY MECHANIC THAT I HAVE TALKED TO { 5 INCLUDING THIS ONE!! } SAID THAT THIS TRUCKS OIL PUMP SHOULD HAVE NEVER GONE OUT AT ONLY 100,000 MILES. HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE? IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO SHORT OF REPLACING MY ENGINE AT THE COST OF $2500.00 ? ANY HELP OR INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP AND COOPERATION.. THANKS AGAIN, KEVIN LIGHT
