Ford f150 transmission. *bf at idle when the gear was placed in reverse, the vehicle would jerk hard, the ignition switch would get really hot, the horn went out, the air bag light illuminated, the engine idler pulley had to be replaced, the original nylon bushing had worn out, the wiper switch only displayed two speeds, the wiper washer stopped working, the anti lock brakes stopped working, the dome light had a short and the alternator had gone bad.
I own a 1994 ford f-150. The oil pan gasket failed and the oil pan has rusted thru. This causes oil to splash onto the exhaust, smoke and possibly catch fire while polluting the environment. Everyone I have talked with, who drives a 1992 to 1996 f-150 has the same problem and check out www.ford-trucks.com were you will find hundreds of f-150 owners with the same problem (search f-150 oil pan). I called several dealerships in my area for an estimate on this repair. Each and every dealer stated this is a common problem with these f-150s we repair about three a week. One dealership even told me ford outsourced these parts and they were manufactured from foreign steel thats porous and rust from the inside out. I contacted fords customer service center that stated the vehicle is out of warranty and basically tough luck. I would consider it general maintenance, but not when every f-150 owner has had the same problem and ford representatives tell me this is a common problem.
While driving 35 MPH a fire started under the hood and then and explosion after 5 min. The consumer suffered a concussion. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
I own a 1994 ford f150 truck. The bolt that holds the serpentine tensioner to the bracket on the engine snapped off while I was traveling on the freeway. I lost total power in the brakes and steering as I was exiting on a sharp turn. Later upon inspection it appeared that the bolt already had a fracture in it prior to snapping off. I am trying to find the specific bolt to only replace it because I cannot afford to replace the entire tensioner part. The mechanic that is trying to replace the bolt said that the problem was most likely caused by the manufacturer installation. None of the ford service departments here in san antonio, texas had ever heard of this occuring and kept asking if I knew what I was talking about, and were shocked when I showed them the entire part with broken bolt and all. I am frustrated at having to find just the bolt and ford has said I had to buy the entire part!
