1995 FORD F-150 Complaints

UNDERNEITH FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHERE ITS RIBITED AT CROSS MEMBER IS SQUEAKING, THE RIBITES SEEM TO BE NOT HOLDING VERY TIGHT, I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I'VE OWN THE TRUCK AND FINALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM, WOULD'NT THIS BE A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM? THANKS*AK

PE00 020; FOURTH TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO TREAD SEPARATING. FIRESTONE, FIREHAWK R4S.*AK

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

I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY BACK WHEN THE OIL CHANGE PLACE TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEN CALL FORD UP AND TALKED A REP. HE SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. BUT HE SAID HE WOULD CONTACT HILLER FORD (CLOSED DEALER TO ME) AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WITHIN A WEEK. I NEVER GOT A CALL. I FINALLY HAD TO BRING IT IN THIS WEEK AND GET IT REPLACED BY A PRIVATE GARAGE IN MILWAUKEE. (THE DEALER'S COST WAS WAY OUT OF LINE.). I'M NOT THRILLED BY FORD NOT GETTING BACK TO ME AND THIS JUST SHOWS WHAT THEY THINK OF THERE CUSTOMERS.I'M GOING TO BRING THE PART INTO WORK AND HAVE THE METAL ANYALIZED AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. NO SXAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY STEERING GEAR BOX WENT OUT AND CONSUMER HAD TROUBLE KEEPING THE VEHICLE ON TRACK. CONSUMER STILL HAS STEERING GEAR BOX WITH HIM. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER KNEW ABOUT PROBLEM .*AK THE STEERING GEAR BOX WAS REPLACED WITH RE-MANUFACTURED GEAR BOX, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE VEHICLCE WAS UNSAFE ACCORDING TO THE CONSUMER. *YH

TIRE BLOWOUT; DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL @ APPROX. 60 MPH ON OPEN HIGHWAY. LEFT/REAR TIRE (DRIVER'S SIDE) SUDDENLY BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING OR PRIOR EVIDENCE OF POSSIBLE TIRE FAILURE. TREAD IS VERY MUCH SEPARATED AND SIDEWALLS, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE (AS RELATING TO TIRE PLACEMENT ON TRUCK) HAVE APPROX. 30-40 SLASHES IN THEM. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE TIRES SECTIONS (POSSIBLY BELTS?) JUST CAME APART AND THE TREAD PORTION OF THE TIRE CAME OFF. LIKE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THE TIRE HAD SHOWN NO WARNING SIGNS OF POSSIBLE FAILURE, WAS NOT UNDERINFLATED, WAS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR CLOSE TO THE POINT OF HAVING INSUFFICIENT TREAD WEAR (STILL APPROX. 3/8" TREAD LEFT ON TIRE) OR DID NOT SHOW ANY SUPERFICIAL DAMAGE TO THE SIDEWALL OR TREAD. THE DAMAGE CAUSED TO MY VEHICLE HAS STILL YET TO BE PROPERLY EVALUATED AND OFFICIALLY DETERMINED, ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS THERE MAY BE SOME DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL ITSELF AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE HUB AND SUPENSION UNITS, NOT TO MENTION ALIGNMENT AND WHATEVER ELSE SHOWS UP IN THE DAMAGE EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT. *AK (TIRESIZE: 235/70 R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/70 R15 )

S/N ON TIRE M3ULBF7X4000, ENTIRE SIDE WALL FAILED CAUSING A BLOWOUT. I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WITH NO WEIGHT IN THE TRUCK. TIRES WERE PURCHASED ON 12/13/2000 AND ONLY HAD ABOUT 2000 MILES. SEVERAL LAYERS OF RUBBER SEPARATED ALLOWING FOR ONE SIDE OF THE TIRE TO BE COMPLETELY SEPERATED (YOU COULD PUT YOUR HAND INSIDE THE TIRE AND RUN IT ALL THE WAY AROUND). THE BROKEN RUBBER DID NOT SMELL BURNED. I RETURNED THE TIRE TO SAM'S CLUB IN VERNON HILLS, IL FOR REPLACEMENT, THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE TIRE, BUT REFUSED TO REPLACE THE OTHER TIRE. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THAT MICHELIN WOULD FULLY INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: ? TIRESIZE: LT23575R15)
