1995 FORD F-150 Complaints

ENGINE OIL PAN CORRODED THROUGH, CAUSING LEAKAGE (CORROSION SPOTS DETECTED IN NUMEROUS PLACES). *AK

WHILE SON WAS DRIVING OUT A DRIVEWAY HEARD A NOISE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE LIKE A GUN SHOT. THEN HE COULD SEE THAT THE SUSPENSION COIL SPRINGS BROKE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO SERVICE STATION, BOTH COIL SPRINGS REPLACED. *AK *ML

REAR FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND WAS REQUESTED TO BE REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. REP FOR WARRANTY WAS CALLED IN AND INSPECTED FUEL TANK. REP SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE TANK HAD RUSTED. I QUESTED SERVICE MANAGER AS TO WHY A STAINLESS STEEL FUEL TANK WOULD RUST OUT IN FOUR YEARS AND ONLY 52360 MILES AS I HAVE DRIVEN VEHICLES 200,000 MILES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A RUSTED TANK. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A PROTECTIVE MATTING ON THE TANK TO PROTECT FROM VIBRATION AND ABRATION. THE PROBLEM WITH THE MATTING WAS THAT IT WOULD COLLECT MOISTURE AND DUE TO ITS LOCATION, DOES NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO DRY OUT COMPLETELY. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THIS, BUT NOT MANY. HE DI WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I HAVE SINCE TALKED WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM OF WHICH FORD DOES NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE OR CHANGE. IS THIS BECAUSE OF THEIR PAST PROBLEMS WITH TANK EXPLOSIONS? IT MAY NOT BE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT COULD BE EASILY TAKEN CARE OF. IF NOT, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER POTENTIAL SAFTEY HAZARD. OR MAYBE THEY JUST WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE AND KEEP SELLING $500.00 REPLACEMENT TANKS EVERY FOUR OR FIVE YEARS. I HAVE EVERY PACKAGE YOU CAN BUY ON THIS TRUCK, INCLUDING RUST PROOF AND UNDER COATING. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR THOUGHTS OR INFORMATION TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT YOU MIGHT PROVIDE ON THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *AK
