2002 FORD F-150 Complaints

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET. LOUD NOISE IN DRIVE POSITION, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR, VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO GEAR.

PURCHASED USED IN 2004. HAVING SIMILAR ISSUE WITH DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT IN THAT WHILE TRUCK IS IN MOTION MY SEAT BELT WILL COME UNBUCKLED RANDOMLY. THIS LAST HAPPENED NOV 17TH 2016 AND ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 25 MINUTES OR SO AND DOES HAPPEN ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY.

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT RANDOMLY DISENGAGES WHILE IN MOTION. REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE BROKEN - BLACK "SLEEVE" SLIDES DOWN EXPOSING SPRING MECHANISM INSIDE WHICH IS MISSING SOME PLASTIC PIECES. FRONT PASSENGER HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A COUPE OF YEARS. BACKSEAT IS FAIRLY NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED THE VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL CONTINUOUSLY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V3850000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000. UPDATED 01/10/17*LJ *TR

MY VEHICLE HAD ITS FUEL TANK STRAPS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL. THE CORROSION FROM THE ORIGINAL STRAPS SPREAD TO THE FUEL TANK. NOW, THE CORROSION ON THE FUEL TANK HAS CAUSED THE FUEL TANK TO BEGIN LEAKING UNDER THE REPLACED STRAPS. PERHAPS SOME OF THE ISSUE IS DUE TO THE PROCESS / PROCEDURE USED IN REPLACING THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK STRAPS. VEHICLE NOW HAS APPROX 207,000 MILES. FUEL LEAK WAS NOTICED WHILE PERFORMING OTHER REGULAR MAINTENANCE.

STARTED VEHICLE AND HEARD A REAL LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY A LOAD CONTINUOUS POPPING SOUND. A SPARK PLUG GOT BLOWN OUT OF THE ENGINE AND IT TOOK THE COP WITH IT SO A FIRE COULD NOT START. WE WERE STRANDED IN BAD WEATHER.

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE RELEASES RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER BUCKLING / LATCHING SEATBELT DRIVER CAN PULL HARD ON BELT AND WON'T RELEASE, THEN AFTER DRIVING FOR A RANDOM AMOUNT OF TIME (30 SECONDS TO 3 HOURS) THE SEAT BELT WILL RELEASE WITHOUT WARNING. REPLACED LATCH WITH ALTERNATIVE (2001 YEAR AND DIFFERENT COLOR) 1L7Z 7861203 BAB. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM REPRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CONFIDENCE OF A SEATBELT'S ABILITY TO PERFORM IN AN ACCIDENT DEFECTIVE PART IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.

#3SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD . SINCE THE INJECTOR WAS STILL PUMPING FUEL INTO THE OPEN CHAMBER THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ENGINE FIRE INOW HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE SOMEWHAT OF A PROBLEM WITH THE 4.6 LITRE ENGINE DUE TO THE ALUMINUM HEADS.

DRIVER SEAT BELT LOCKED. UNABLE TO BUCKLE AT ALL. WHEN I PULL THE BELT WILL NOT RELEASE.

THE SPARK PLUG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE EXPLODED OUT OF THE HEAD AS SOON AS I STARTED THE VEHICLE BREAKING THE COIL PACK IN THE PROCESS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED A YEAR AGO AND SINCE THE PLUG BLEW OUT ON ME I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK SO IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM.
