1994 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

OIL PAN RUST. METAL 'FLAKES' OFF THINNING THE STRUCTURE OF THE PAN. HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS WITH THE FORD PICKUP

MY F-150 HAS HAD NOISY BRAKES THAT VIBRATE, WEAR EXCESSIVELY FAST AND STOP POORLY SINCE MY FATHER BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW, I HAVE REPLACED PADS, ROTORS17 TIMES,AND CALIPERS TWICE, MY FATHER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THEM BUT FORD REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. MY REAR FUEL TANK SENDS ALL THE FUEL TO THE FRONT TANK WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, UNTIL THE FRONT TANK IS FULL, THEN IT SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. FORD ADMITTED THAT SOME 1993 TRUCKS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND RECALLED SOME OF THEM BUT SAID THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AND MY 1994 TRUCK CAN'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM BUT EVERYONE I KNOW WITH A 1994 F-150 HAS THIS PROBLEM, AND WHEN I CHECKED ON FORDTRUCKS.COM, MANY 1994 F150 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, ALSO MANY 1994 F150 OWNERS ALSO HAD MY SAME AIRBAG PROBLEM. WHEN WILL YOU GUYS PRESSURE FORD INTO FIXING THESE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. *AK

MY OIL PAN GASKET HAS SLID OUT OF LOCATION. NO WORK WAS DONE TO CAUSE THIS. FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND IS NOT ADDRESSING IT.

I THINK IF FORD IS CONCERNED ABOUT OUR ENVIROMENT, THEY SHOULD REPAIR THESE AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. ALSO FORD OIL PANS ARE RUSTING THROUGH CAUSING THE SAME IMPACT ON THE ENVIROMENT.
