POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
ON DECEMBER 4, 2004, I TOOK MY TRUCK ON ABOUT A 600 MILE TRIP. DURING THE TRIP I TRIED THE CRUISE CONTROL, WHICH WORKED ABOUT 5 MONTHS EARLIER & FOUND IT TO BE NONFUNCTIONAL. THE NEXT DAY, I FOUND MYSELF IN A POSITION THAT REQUIRED ENGAGING THE FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE, HOWEVER IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I PARKED THE TRUCK THAT EVENING & HAD NOT TOUCHED IT IN THE FOLLOWING MONTH AND A HALF. ON DECEMBER 10, 2004 MY WIFE CANCELED THE INSURANCE SINCE MY PLAN WAS TO LEAVE IT PARKED UNTIL SPRING OR I COULD AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. THEN ON JANUARY 26, 2005 @ 05:00 AM, MY WIFE WOKE ME UP SAYING THAT MY TRUCK HAD JUST EXPLODED. I WENT OUTSIDE & SAW THE FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AT THAT TIME THE MAIN CONCENTRATION OF THE FIRE WAS ON THE DRIVER?S SIDE. I NOTIFIED FORD, TO WHICH THEIR REPLY WAS SORRY FOR YOUR INCONVENIENCE BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON YOUR VEHICLE & IT IS ALSO OUT OF WARRANTY.*AK

CONSUMER CONCERNED ABOUT RECALL ON 1990 FORD F250 FUEL TANK. *BF THE VEHICLE'S FRONT TANK PUSHED FUEL TO THE REAR TANK WHICH CAUSED IT TO OVERFLOW.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TOWING AN EMPTY HORSE TRAILER, WHEN I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE STRUGGLING TO PULL IT. WHEN I GOT HOME AND WAS BACKING THE TRAILER UP, THE DRIVE WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE, I WAS LEFT WITH ONLY REVERSE AND DRIVE 1. NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND IT'S GOING TO COST AROUND $900.00 DOLLARS FOR THEM TO TEAR IT APART AND TAKE A LOOK. I DO HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY INSURANCE, BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE TEAR DOWN UNLESS THEY DO FIND SOMETHING WRONG, AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THEM TEAR IT DOWN, FIND NOTHING WRONG AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THEY DO FIND WHAT'S MALFUNCTIONED. *JB
