STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
WHEN I WAS DRIVING WITH MY SON IN THE CAR, I LOST ALL STEERING IN MY VEHICLE. MY STEERING WHEEL JUST STARTED TO SPIN FREELY AS I WAS DRIFTING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER FRANTICALLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE, I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. AFTER HE INSPECTED THE STEERING COLUMN, HE DISCOVERED THAT THE COUPLING BETWEEN THE LOWER END OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING BOX HAD STRIPPED FREE. THE BOLT STILL REMAINED IN THE COUPLER. HE CHECKED WITH FORD AND THEY TOLD HIM THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THE LOWER END OF THE STEERING COLUMNS (WHICH HE WAS SURPRISED AT), BUT THERE HAD BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN.*AK

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE ISN'T PART OF RECALL 93V125000/ MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 93S68 ALTHOUGH IT HAS SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN RECALL. CONSUMER HAS DUAL TANKS, AND MODULES BETWEEN ALLOW GAS TO GO TO BACK WHICH CAUSES FUEL TO OVERFLOW. CONSUMER IS SECOND OWNER, AND DEALER IS DENYING RECALL REPAIRS DUE TO VIN. *AK

STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
WE COULD HEAR AND FEEL A "CLUNKING" THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. FOUND THAT THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT WAS BROKEN AND WAS ADVISED TO STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT COULD BE REPAIRED. WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS FAIRLY COMMON WITH THE F150 AND IN FACT THEY HAD THE REQUIRED PART TO FIX IT IN STOCK. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD OR INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD OCCUR, AND APPARANTLY IS NOT UNCOMMON. THE BREAK WAS APPARANTLY IN A "KNUCKLE" IN THE STEERING SHAFT, WHICH IS WHY WE COULD STILL STEER THE VEHICLE AT ALL.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE OIL PAN IS COMPLETELY RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT IT MADE A HOLE RIGHT THROUGH THE STEEL, CAUSING THE OIL TO SEEP THROUGH. UPON CALLING THE FORD CO. LAST WEEK, I WAS TOLD BY THE REP. THAT THE RUST WAS COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE OIL PAN AND THAT IT WASN'T FORD'S PROBLEM. I THEN CALLED A FEW GARAGES AND THEY ALL TOLD ME THAT THEY'RE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH CORRODED OIL PANS ON F150 PICKUPS AND THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT FORD SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A MAJOR PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE WILL BE A RECALL. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN WITH A 6 YEAR OLD PICKUP WITH ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE OIL PAN. AGAIN, THIS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT'S NOT TAKEN CARE OF RIGHT AWAY. THANK YOU.*AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
IN MY 2000 F-150 SUPERCAB PICK-UP, WHICH HAS FOUR DOORS AND SEATING FOR SIX (THREE IN THE BACK SEAT), LACK OF REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS, COUPLED WITH A VERY LOW REAR SEAT BACK HEIGHT AND THE VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE REAR WINDOW (GLASS) TO OCCUPANTS' HEADS MEANS THAT SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR SHOULD THE VEHICLE BE HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. OCCUPANTS' HEADS SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY HEAD RESTRAINTS FROM CONTACTING THE GLASS. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO RETRO-FIT HEAD RESTRAINTS THAT IT HAS CHOSEN TO SUPPLY ON 2001 SUPERCREW MODELS OF THIS SAME PICK-UP, OR SHOULD SUPPLY OWNER RETRO-FITTABLE HEAD RESTRAINTS FOR THE REAR SEAT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WITH MY FORD F-150 INVOLVING THE FUEL LINE/GAS TANK SURFACED ON 4/27/01 IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN THE GARAGE, SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES OF GASOLINE WERE FOUND TO BE EXITING ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANK CAPS ON TO THE FLOOR. TOMBALL FORD REPLACED THE COMPONENTS CAUSING THIS SAFETY HAZARD IN JAN 1996 UNDER FORD RECALL 93S68. IT IS OBVIOUS THE RECALL DID NOT WORK.!! THESE FACTS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED BY CILLIS CAR CARE, 13650 SCHROEDER RD, HOUSTON, TX 77070. ACCORDING TO TOMBALL FORD, THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO ONCE AGAIN REPAIR THE COMPONENTS OF THE FUEL SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE. I DEMAND THAT THE D.O.T. ACT ON THIS SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. MY TRUCK SHOULD BE REPAIRED CORRECTLY AT NO COST TO ME. FURTHER, FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC, FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT ANOTHER RECALL AND PERFORM RECALL 93S68 PROPERLY!!!!!*AK
