SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY
THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 1997 FORD F150, 98V161000, RELATING TO FRACTURED LEAF SPRING. ACCORDING TO FORD, THIS SAFETY RECALL WAS APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE IN 2001. I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE BACK OF MY TRUCK WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, AND BEGAN LOOKING AROUND. I SEE THAT THE CENTER LEAF SPRING ON THE REAR OF MY TRUCK IS BROKEN, EXACTLY THE PROBLEM THAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE SAFETY RECALL 98V161000 (98S18 PER FORD). I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY SHOW NO OUTSTANDING CAMPAIGNS AGAINST MY VIN. AFTER ABOUT 5 ATTEMPTS TO GET SOMEONE AT FORD TO EXPLAIN THIS RECALL TO ME, I FINALLY GOT IN TOUCH WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE NAMED TISHA. SHE INFORMED ME THAT THIS RECALL HAD BEEN APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE BY LEIGH FORD, AND THAT FORD WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR. I HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS. 1. SAFETY CONCERN. THE LEAF SPRING IS BROKEN, AND MAY CONTACT THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSE A LEAK AS DESCRIBED. FORD DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. WAS THIS RECALL APPLIED CORRECTLY? WAS THE FRACTURE THERE TO BEGIN WITH, AND JUST OVERLOOKED? I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO EVEN DRIVE THIS UNTIL THIS IS REPAIRED. 2. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND FORD SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE REPAIRED CORRECTLY AND IMMEDIATELY. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
LOUD HIGH PITCHED WHINE IN REAR END AT OPEN HIGHWAY SPEEDS (3.31 GEAR RATIO) DETECTED DAY OF PURCHASE ON MARCH 25TH 2002, REPORTED TO DEALER OF PURCHASE (HOMER SKELTON FORD, OLIVE BRANCH ,MS) NEXT DATE. AS OF MARCH 25TH 2003, ONE YEAR, TWO DEALERS, 29,000 MISERABLE MILES AND SOME FIVE REPAIR ATTEMPTS LATER I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS DEFIENTLY A PROBLEM WITH THE 3.31 FORD REAR END. I HAVE RECENTLY DRIVEN ANOTHER NEW 2003 FORD TRUCK WITH 3.31 REAR END, VEHICLE ALSO HAD NOISE. THEN DROVE ANOTHER NEW PICK UP WITH THE 3.55 REAR END WHICH WAS TOTALLY QUIET. IN THE COURSE OF THIS YEAR I HAVE FILED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH DEALERS AND DIRECTLY WITH FORD. ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASE, WHEN THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO FIX THE TRUCK FAILED, I ATTEMPTED TOGET THE DEALER TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK BUT THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION. THIS VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO BA A TOP OF THE LINE FORD PICKUP RETAILING FOR OVER $30,000.00 WITH A 36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. FORD EITHER CAN'T OR WON'T FIX IT. THEY HAVE JUST OFFERED ME A BUY BACK ON THE TRUCK WHICH IF ACCEPTED WOULD COST ME AS FOLLOWS THE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AT THE TIME THE TRUCK WAS PUCHASED. $1,875.00 CASH DOWN PAYMENT 6,162.10 EQUITY OF TRADE IN 874.52 SALES TAX A TOTAL OF $8,911.62 . IN ADDITION TO THE COST OF INSTALLATION OF PERSONAL EQUIPMENT WHICH TOTALS ABOUT $400.00. THIS IS NOT EVEN CONSIDERING PAYMENTS ON THE TRUCK FOR 12 MONTHS. NOW FORD HAS OFFERED TO BUY THE TRUCK BACK IF I PAY THEM OVER $5,000.00 ADDITIIONAL DOLLARS FOR THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD MAKE MY TOTAL COST OVER 13,900.00 FOR OWNING A DEFECTIVE FORD PICK UP FOR 12 MONTHS. IN ESSENCE THERE IS NO WARRANTY. IT SHOULD BE FORD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. IF THEY COULD NOT FIX IT THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME ANOTHER TRUCK LONG AGO. IT IS THEIR FAULT THAT IT HAS TAKEN A YEAR TO GET TO THIS POINT. I TRAVEL IN MY JOB AND HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE MILES ON THE TRUCK. THEY CERTAINLY WERE NOT PLEASANT ONES.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
MY 1993 FORD F-150 WAS PART OF RECALL PROGRAM 00S57 TO REPLACE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR IN DUAL TANK TRUCKS TO AVOID FUEL SPILLAGE. THIS WAS DONE 06/19/02 ALTHOUGH NO REDUNDANT CHECK VALVES WERE INSTALLED. THE RECALL REPAIR HAS FAILED AND FUEL IS BACKWASHING FROM THE AFT TANK TO THE MIDSHIP TANK, CAUSING IT TO OVERFLOW. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER(COASTAL FORD) STATES IT IS NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE, AND I CANNOT GET FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO CONTACT ME. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED SUBSEQUENTLY TO OTHERS. PLEASE HELP!
