POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
STEADY TAPPING NOISE IN 5TH GEAR, WHEN ACCELERATOR PRESSED (NO VARIATION WITH SPEED INCREASE). WORSE IN COOL WEATHER. MOVING THE 4WHEEL DRIVE SHIFTER SIDE TO SIDE MODULATES NOISE. HAS GOTTEN COARSER AND LOUDER, AND SPREAD TO 3RD AND 4TH GEARS OVER THE COURSE OF LAST 14K MILES. ACADEMY FORD LED ME TO BELIEVE A FIX WAS IN PROGRESS DURING REPEATED SERVICE VISITS SINCE OCT 99, BUT ADMITTED DEC 2000 THAT FORD DID NOT WANT TO INVEST RESOURCES IN PURSUING INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM OR ITS CAUSE SINCE NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE DRIVE 5SPEEDS AND HAVE REPORTED SAME. STICK SHIFT ALSO SEEMS MUSHY AT TIMES AND DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
SMELLED RAW GAS FROM THE TRUCK THIS PAST WEEKEND. JUST PURCHASED THE TUCK LAST MONTH. I FOUND THAT THE SEAM ON THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING GAS. I TRANSFED THE FUEL FROM THE FRONT TANK TO THE REAR,WHICH IS ALSO HEAVY RUSTED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THE COST FOR A NEW TANK IS $175.00 FOR THE FRONT AND A LITTLE LESS FOR THE REAR PLUS LABOR AND ANYOTHER PARTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE AS THE TANK WAS NEAR FULL, WITHIN FIVE GALLONS OF FULL!!!! I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEALER DOES NOR WANT TO COVER THIS COST OR EVEN PARTAKE IN IT AS SO MANY REPORTS OF LEAKING TANKS HAVE SURFACED, IN FACT THEY HAD ANOTHER CALL THE SAME MORNING FOR ANOTHER LEAKING TANK. FORD SHOULD BE HELD TO REPAIR THE TANK PROBLEMS BEFORE ANYONE IS KILLED.*AK

TIRES:SIDEWALL
LAST SUMMER (2000) MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING FROM MERCED, CA TO SANTA CRUZ, CA FOR VACATION. THE TEMPS WERE AROUND 100 DEGREES. I HAVE A 1997 F-150 XLT EXTENDED CAB WITH WILDERNESS HT TIRES AND APPROXIMATELY 22,000 MILES. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE SIDEWALL SEPARATED FROM THE TREAD AND BLEWOUT. I PURCHASED ANOTHER WILDERNESS HT TIRE IN SANTA CRUZ FOR A REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS ABOUT ONE MONTH BEFORE THE RECALL OF THE WILDERNESS AT TIRES. THIS YEAR DURING THE SAME TRIP AND SAME CONDITIONS AND ABOUT 27,000 MILES ON THE SAME TRUCK WE ARRIVED IN SANTA CRUZ AND I NOTICED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD A LARGE CHUNK OF TREAD MISSING AND THE STEEL BELT WAS EXPOSED. THIS WAS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE TIRE NEAR THE SIDEWALL. I EXAMINE THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND NOTICED A CRACK FORMING IN THE SAME AREA. I HAD PLACED THE NEW TIRE PURCHASED IN 2000 ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WITH THE SPARE AND THE TIRES ON THE BACK WERE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES. I STILL HAVE THE TIRES AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SEPARATION.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W208 TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)
