#710856September 2, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE OIL PAN IS RUSTING THROUGH, AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. BY CALLING THE DEALERSHIP, ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY, AND THROUGH ANNECDOTAL EVIDENCE, I HAVE LEARNED OF 13 OTHER 93-94 F150 TRUCKS (AS WELL AS SOME VANS OF THOSE MODEL YEARS) THAT HAVE HAD THEIR OIL PANS REPLACED THIS YEAR ALONE. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN OIL PAN RUST OUT BEFORE, SO THE EVIDENCE AT HAND LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS AN OVERALL MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SAFETY ISSUE: I COULD LOOSE ALL OF MY OIL WITHOUT WARNING (THE RUSTY AREA IS BRITTLE & OOZING OIL), AND THE ENGINE COULD BE DESTROYED. *AK

#709083July 23, 1999
STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE PROBLEM JUST CROPPED UP WITHOUT ANY UNUSAL TRAFFIC OR ROAD CONDITIONS. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM MY FRONT SUSPENSION AREA. MY MECHANIC LOOKED FOR A DAMAGED SUSPENSION COMPONENT, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY DAMAGE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION HE IDENTIDIED THAT THE RIVETS ATTACHING THE CROSS MEMBER TO THE FRAME WERE NOT HOLDING FAST. THE FRAME IS MOVING WHEN THE TRUCK TURNS AND STOPS OR STARTS MOTION. HE CONTACTED FORD WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. THIS WILL COST ME APPROXIMATELY $500 TO REPAIR BY DRILLING OUT THE RIVETS AND REPLACING WITH BOLTS. IF YOU CONTACT ME I CAN GIVE MY MECHANICS NAME AND NUMBER HE IS AWARE OF OTHER FORD FRAME FAILURES THAT HE HAS REPAIRED.
