1995 FORD F-150 Complaints

THIS VEHICLE HAS FOUR AFTER MARKET FIRESTONE, WILDERNESS/AT TIRES (DOT #0027477), TWO OF THEM HAVE DEVELOPED SIDEWALL CRACKS. FIRESTONE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE TIRES DON'T COME FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA PLANT.*AK *SLC

PE00 020; CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING 60MPH ON HIGHWAYAND HEARD NOISE. HE WAS ABLE PULL OVER TO SHOULDER. RIGHT REAR TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE RIMS. FIRESTONE, #ATX, P235/75R15XLOWL. *AK

AT TIMES, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT TO 1ST,2ND, 3RD, OR 4TH GEARS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. THIS IS AN INTERMITENT PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE VERY QUICKLY. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS HAD TO TAKE IT BACK FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SYNCHRONOUS MECHANISM WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY. I TOOK IT BACK AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF THE ORIGINAL REPAIR BECAUSE THERE STILL EXISTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN I SPOKE TO SAID THAT THIS WOULD GO AWAY ONCE THE GEARS WORE A LITTLE. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED. AND HERE WE ARE. *AK

THERE ARE EXTRA HOLES IN THE BACK OF STEERING WHEEL, AND KEYS GOT STUCK INSIDE, CONSUMER ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

ORIGINAL BRAKES ON VEHICLE FAILED TO WORK AFTER BEING APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. OWNER CHECKED BRAKES, AND NOTICED BRAKE PAD LINING HAD SEPARATED FROM METAL BACKING PLATE & HAD FALLEN OFF. BRAKE PADS STILL HAD 1/4IN OF PAD LEFT ON EACH BRAKE. BRAKE PISTON WENT OUT DUE TO NOTHING TO PUSH AGAINST. ABS BRAKES ARE ON THE REAR BRAKES. *AK ALL FOUR FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED. UPON REMOVING THE RIGHT SIDE CALIPER, THE BRAKE LINING FELL OFF TOO. *YH

PREVIOUSLY REPORTED FRONT FUEL TANK LEAKING. NOW REAR FUEL TANK LEAKING. BOTH TANKS LEAKING DUE TO CORROSION OF TANK AND /OR WEARING AGAINST COMPONENTS.

OIL PAN RUSTED OUT AND STARTED LEAKING. I CAUGHT IT BEFORE ALL OIL LOST ON ROAD AND AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM THROUGH A FRIEND THAT LOST ALL HIS OIL AND SEIZED ENGINE. THIS TRUCK IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS NEVER PLOWED SNOW. IT VIRTUALLY HAS NO OTHER RUST. OIL PANS SHOULD NOT RUST OUT. IF OIL IS LOST AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.
