ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
1995 FORD F-150 WITH 302 ENGINE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING ON 7-09-04. ON 8-2-04 THE TRUCK CAUGHT ON FIRE IN FRONT OF MY OFFICE 3 HOURS AFTER IT WAS SHUT DOWN. A PASSERBY SHOUTED IN THE DOOR THAT MY TRUCK WAS SMOKING. WHEN I POPPED THE HOOD OPEN, THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE CONNECTOR IN FRONT OF THE BRAKE FLUID RESEVOIR. I PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER, BUT IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED AGAIN. I PULLED THE POSITIVE CABLE OFF THE BATTERY AND USED THE EXTINGUISHER AGAIN. THAT PUT THE FIRE OUT FOR GOOD. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO CAPITAL FORD IN RALEIGH, NC. CAPITAL FORD REPLACED THE CRUISE DEACTIVATION SWITCH ON 8-9-04 ALONG WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER DAMAGED BY THE FIRE. TOTAL COST NOT INCLUDING TOW $ 489.62 UNFORTUNATELY I HAD THE DAMAGED PART DISCARDED. IT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.*AK

THE TRUCK WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE AT WORK WHEN SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT AROUND THE HOOD. I RAISED THE HOOD TO FIND THE SPEED DE-ACTIVATION SWITCH ON FIRE.I PUT OUT THE FIRE. AND PURCHASED A NEW SWITCH FROM 32 FORD IN BATAVIA OHIO, AND INSTALLED IT.32 FORD ADVISED ME TO CALL FORD AND MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE OLDER TRUCKS , WHICH I DID TO NO AVAIL,AS THEY JUST PASSED ME BACK AND FORTH , AND NO ONE WOULD LISTEN TO WHAT I HAD TO SAY. ALL I WANT IS TO WARN THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN THE OLDER MODEL TRUCKS. THEY HAVE FIRE HAZARD. WE WERE JUST LUCKY THAT WE WERE AT WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED OR IT WOULD HAVE BURNED OUR CO. HIGHWAY GARAGE DOWN. THANK YOU NEIL MORRISON GARAGE SUPERINTENDENT ADAMS CO. HIGHWAY DEPT.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 1995 FORD F-150 WITH A ROTTED OUT OIL PAN . IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD CHOOSES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE MOISTURE GETS BETWEEN THE PAINT AND THE OIL PAN METAL AND STARTS TO ROT IT OUT WITHOUT YOU KNOWING ABOUT IT. NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU HAVE OIL DRIPPING IN YOUR DRIVEWAY BECAUSE OF FORDS INABILITY TO REPAIR OR RECALL THIS PROBLEM. THESE IDIOTS WANT TO SELL YOU A VEHICLE AND DON'T CARE AFTER IT IS SOLD. THE PAINT THEY USED IN CERTAIN 1990'S MODELS WAS DEFECTIVE AND OR NOT DONE PROPERLY AND NEED TO BE RECALLED OR REPLACE THE OIL PAN WITH LIMITED COST!! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MISTAKE, DON'T LET THE CONSUMER HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR INCOMPATIBLE!!!!*JB
