VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
THE UNEVEN IDLE IS DANGEROUS. I'VE HAD IT REPAIRED TWICE. I HAVE BEEN AT A FULL STOP WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND HAD THE CAR IDLE UP SO SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY THAT THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD 2 FEET BEFORE I CAN STOP IT. I HAVE ALMOST HIT PEDESTRIANS CROSSING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCAISIONS. I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AT STOPLIGHTS OR APPLY VERY HEAVY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. I'VE CALLED FORD, TAKEN IT TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS FOR REPAIR, AND THE MECHANIC'S ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THEY'VE SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE ON THIS TRUCK BUT THE CENTRAL CUSTOMER CARE PEOPLE CLAIM TO HAVE NO RECORD.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE REAR FEUL TANK IS LEAKING FUEL AT A VERY ALARMING RATE. EVEN AS IT IS EMPTY THE FRONT TANK WILL DRAIN INTO IT SO NOT USING THE REAR TANK AND ONLY USING THE FRONT WILL NOT HELP THE TANK LEAKS 24 HRS A DAY AND IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO CAUSE A FIRE. I ALSO WANT TO STATE THAT THE OIL PAN IS A FEW MONTHS AWAY FROM RUSTING THROUGH AND THAT IS ANOTHER ISSUE I WILL HAVE TO TAKE UP WITH FORD.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SEAL FAILER AT 75 MPH CAUSED THE OVERRIVE TO FAIL, CAUSING TRANSMISSION BANDS TO FAIL. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY POLICY, HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY FEEL THE TRANSMISSION WAS DELIBERATELY RUN WITH OUT FLUID. THE REAR SEAL FAILED, CAUSING THE REAR HOUSING TO ALSO FAIL. THIS ALL HAPPENED UNKNOWINGLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD OBVIOSLY BE RUN LOW ON FLUID WHEN THE REAR SEAL COMPLETELY BLOWS OUT OF IT SEAT. I AM HOPING THAT YOU WILL DO WHATS RIGHT AND HELP ME GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED BY INFORMING MY EXTENDED WARRANTEE PROVIDER THAT THIS INSIDENT WAS UNAVOIDABLE. THANK YOU.*AK

#764878July 29, 2002
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
FUEL TANK: AUXILLARY SELECTOR AND SWITCH: THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS. WHEN THE TRUCK IS RUNNING ON THE REAR TANK, AND THE FRONT TANK IS FULL, THE REAR TANK PUMPS FUEL INTO THE ALREADY FULL FRONT TANK, CAUSING IT TO OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FUEL CAP AND SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK ONTO TO THE GROUND. THE FORD DEALER SAID THAT THE 1989 TO 1993 MODELS WERE COVERED BY A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 1995 MODELS. I CALLED FORD BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED ON THIS PROBLEM.*AK
