#758217February 14, 2002
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY FAILED (CRUISE CONTROL CEASED FUNCTIONING). UPON DISASSEMBLY OF CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY I FOUND THAT THE LUBRICANT USED TO LUBRICATE THE RIBBON CABLE HAD CONGEALED AND WAS CAUSING DRAG IN THE RIBBON CABLE TO HOUSING INTERFACE. THIS WAS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE OF THE CABLE FAILURE (BROKEN CONDUCTOR). THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT FAILURE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE AIR BAG CIRCUIT IS ALSO CARRIED BY THIS MECHANISM.*AK

#758168February 13, 2002
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AS IT SHIFTS FROM 1ST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. I WAS TOLD IT IS NORMAL BY THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND OTHER DEALERSHIPS AS WELL. I HAVE FOUND OUT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSES THIS DELAY IN THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOUND IN 4R100 TRANSMISSIONS BUILT FROM 7/27/2000 TO 3/23/2001. I BELIEVE THIS TRANSMISSION TO BE UNSAFE AND FORD DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM. I WANT THIS TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND ALL FORD DOES IS DENY, DENY, DENY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STARTS TO MAKE A POPPING SOUND. I PULLED OVER AND RAISED THE HOOD. THE #3 SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT FROM ITS SEATING IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE CYLINDER HEAD. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE FUEL INJECTION RAIL. THE SPARKPLUG IS LOCATED DIRECTLY BELOW THE FUEL RAIL. IF THE SPARK PLUG COMES LOOSE AND IT FLIES INTO THE FUEL RAIL, THE RAIL COULD BURST CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IGNITING A FIRE. THE SPARK PLUG PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY FORD, HOWEVER NOTHING WAS DONE TO GUARD THE FUEL RAIL.
