AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE A FIRE STARTED IN THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT, AND THE CONSUMER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF THE PARKED VEHICLE. RESULTS SHOWED THAT THERE WAS A SHORTAGE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO CATCH ON FIRE UNEXPECTEDLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BY THE CONSUMER. *AK *SC

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THEN, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE FOR INSPECTION. THIS INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED BY MR. DENNIS WIFE KAREN. *AK..........*AK

I OWN A 1995 FORD F-150 WITH A ROTTED OUT OIL PAN . IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD CHOOSES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE MOISTURE GETS BETWEEN THE PAINT AND THE OIL PAN METAL AND STARTS TO ROT IT OUT WITHOUT YOU KNOWING ABOUT IT. NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU HAVE OIL DRIPPING IN YOUR DRIVEWAY BECAUSE OF FORDS INABILITY TO REPAIR OR RECALL THIS PROBLEM. THESE IDIOTS WANT TO SELL YOU A VEHICLE AND DON'T CARE AFTER IT IS SOLD. THE PAINT THEY USED IN CERTAIN 1990'S MODELS WAS DEFECTIVE AND OR NOT DONE PROPERLY AND NEED TO BE RECALLED OR REPLACE THE OIL PAN WITH LIMITED COST!! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR MISTAKE, DON'T LET THE CONSUMER HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR INCOMPATIBLE!!!!*JB

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED. THIS DEFECT OCCURRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE REPAIRS COULD BE DONE BUT ONLY AT CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. CURRENTLY, THERE WERE NO EOM BRAKE LINES AVAILABLE. ALSO, THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 25,000 MILES, AND 3 BRAKE LINES WERE REPLACED 3 TIMES. *AK (DUAL MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE) THE CONSUMER LOST ALL BRAKES, FRONT AND REAR. THE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. AT 22K MILES, THE REAR BRAKE LINE FAILED ALONG WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. AT 25K MILES, THE OTHER FRONT BRAKE LINE FAILED ALONG WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. *SC *JB

WHILE QUESTIONING MECHANICS ABOUT COSTS ON A NEW MOTOR FOR MY F150 I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A 'SILENT' RECALL ON THIS ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE OIL LEAK PROBLEM. IS THIS TRUE? IT HAD ALWAYS LEAKED OIL AND WE KEPT IT FULL. TROUBLE SEEMED TO BE THE OIL WASN'T GETTING TO THE ENGINE BLOCK.*AK

THE GAS TANK RUSTED AND LEAKED SEVERELY. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED. *AK *SC *JB

THIRTY MINUTES AFTER COMING HOME FROM WORK, PASSER-BY KNOCKED ON MY DOOR TO TELL ME MY FORD F-150 4X4 XLT TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I GRABBED MY FIRE EXTINGUISHER BUT I WAS TO LATE. THE VEHICLE WAS FULLY INVOLVED. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY RESPONED AND EVENTUALLY PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSE AND I HAD NO INSURANCE ON IT. NO CAUSE WAS EVER FOUND. *JB
