#713979October 27, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
NOTICED REAR BUMPER ON TRUCK WAS BENT AND HAD A SMALL DENT. HIT WHILE PARKED. NO OTHER VISIBLE DAMAGE. SUBSEQUENTLY BEGAN SMELLING GASOLINE. SMALL SPOT IN DRIVEWAY; SUBSEQUENTLY SAW SLOW DRIP FROM THE REAR TANK AREA ONTO EXHAUST PIPE. UPON REMOVAL OF REAR TANK BY DEALER, DIME-SIZE RUST HOLE FOUND TOWARDS REAR OF TANK UNDERNEATH MOUNTING STRAP. FORD TAKES POSITION THAT THE HOLE WAS CAUSED BY RUST AND IS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY OR RECALL. REST OF TANK LOOKS FINE EXCEPT FOR DIME SIZE RUST HOLE THAT FORMED UNDER THE REAR END OF MOUNTING STRAP. HOLE IS IN THINNER, REAR PART OF THE TANK, WHICH IS THE FIRST PART OF TANK THAT'S EMPTIED. ALSO APPEARS TO BE RUSTED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN, NOT FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I RETAINED THE FAULTY TANK. FORD DENIES MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. NATIONWIDE INSURANCE APPRAISER SURMISES HOLE WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY EITHER A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IN THE TANK OR BY AN INSTALLATION DEFECT, BUT IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY A MILD COLLISION TO THE REAR BUMPER.

#708784July 19, 1999
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
ON MY 1995 FORD F-150 P/U TRUCK, THERE IS A CLUTCH LINKAGE ROD WHICH GOES THROUGH THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH AND IMPACTS/INTERACTS WITH THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THIS PART ENDURES WEAR EACH TIME THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. AS SUCH, THE PLASTIC END OF THIS ROD AND THE PLASTIC SNAP/BUSHING/LOCK THAT IS PART OF IT ALSO WEARS SINCE THEY ARE IN CONTACT WITH A LINKAGE ROD WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE. WHEN THE WEAR BECOMES EXCESSIVE, THE SNAP RING/BUSHING/FEMALE ROD END FAIL AND SLIP OR BREAK OFF CAUSING THE CLUTCH TO ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION AT WHATEVER GEAR IS ENGAGED AT THAT TIME.
