POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, INTERIOR LIGHTING, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS TRUCK HAS MANY PROBLEMS. STRARTING WITH THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT, THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUCK THERE IS A DISTINCTIVE "CLUNK" WHEN PUT INTO GEAR; EITHER FORWARD OR REVERSE. THEN GOING INTERIOR; THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT COMES ON IT THINKS THAT THE DOORS ARE NOT SHUT, BUT YOU CAN SLAM ALL 4 DOORS SHUT AND IT STILL THINKS THE DOORS ARE "AJAR" SO THAT WILL KEEP THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL GO OUT IF YOU GET UP TO ABOUT 20 MPH, THEN WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO UNDER 20MPH IT WILL COME BACK ON. THE "WARNING BELL" COMES ON AND STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF. NEXT THE SEAT BELTS WILL SOME TIMES WORK AND SOME TIMES NOT. EITHER THE ARE HARD TO PULL OUT OR THEY WILL NOT RETRACT. THE TAILGATE COVER HAS WARPED IN NOT EVEN 1 YEAR AFTER WE HAD IT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
MY GAS TANKS OVERFLOW OUT MY FILLER CAPS. I CALLED FORD THEY TOLD ME MY TRUCK HAD BEEN FIXED IN 1994 WHEN THEY SENT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. WELL I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM, AND WHEN I TALKED TO ONE OF YOUR REPS THEY TOLD ME THERE IS AN ONGOING IVESTIGATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. MAYBE THEIR FIX WASN'T A FIX AFTER ALL. WHAT SHOULD I DO ? DO I HAVE SOMEONE TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO WHAT FORD SAYS TO FIX IT , OR AM I WASTING MONEY ON SOMETHING THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR. ALSO IS FORD RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY { I MEAN IF IT WASN'T FIXED RIGHT THE FIRST TIME } THANK YOU. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A SMALL SNOW DRIFT, ON AN ISOLATED COUNTRY ROAD, SNOW DISLODGED THE SERPENTINE BELT, THUS DISCONNECTING POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, THE COOLING SYSTEM AND DISCHARGING THE BATTERY. LUCKILY A PASSING SNOW PLOW OPERATOR ASSISTED US OR THIS COULD HAVE HAD MORE TRAGIC RESULTS. WE HAVE ASKED FORD ENGINEERS TO ASSIST WITH A SOLUTION. SKID PLATES ARE NOT MADE FOR THIS VEHICLE NOR CAN THEY APPARENTLY BE MANUFACTURED BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. WHILE OUR LOCAL DEALER IS HELPING TO PROBLEM SOLVE, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE NO REPLY NOR INTEREST FROM FORD, WHO CLAIMS THAT ANY SOLLUTION WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ACCESSORY OR IMPROVEMENT RATHER THAN A REPAIR. WE FEEL THAT SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS ADVERTISED AS A RUGGED OFF-ROAD FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE THAT IS DEPICTED BLASTING THROUGH DEEP SNOW DRIFTS ON COMMERCIALS, IT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BREAK DOWN AND STRAND PASSENGERS WHEN THE TRUCK IS CONFRONTED WITH NORMAL WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS. FURTHER, IT SHOULDN'T LEAVE THE PASSENGERS STRANDED WITHOUT POWER,ENGINE COOLING, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES.
