While changing oil detected that the oil pan was extremely rusted on exterior surface, and oil leaking from corroded surface of oil pan. Oil leak is getting progressivly worse.

My 1995 ford f-150 spontaneously burst into flames after being parked for 6 hours. A fiery inferno totaled the engine and cab. No sign of problem in vehicle prior to fire except that the cruise control stopped working for about a week and then worked again.
I own a 1995 ford f-150 with a rotted out oil pan . It is a common problem and ford chooses to do nothing about it. The moisture gets between the paint and the oil pan metal and starts to rot it out without you knowing about it. Next thing you know you have oil dripping in your driveway because of fords inability to repair or recall this problem. These idiots want to sell you a vehicle and don't care after it is sold. The paint they used in certain 1990's models was defective and or not done properly and need to be recalled or replace the oil pan with limited cost!! Take responsibility for your mistake, don't let the consumer have to deal with your incompatible!!!!
While questioning mechanics about costs on a new motor for my f150 I was told there was a 'silent' recall on this engine because of the oil leak problem. Is this true? It had always leaked oil and we kept it full. Trouble seemed to be the oil wasn't getting to the engine block.

Temperature gauge sticks most of the time, then it unsticks. Also cruise control went out. Consumer had the wires checked, mechanic did not find any problem. Mechanic wanted to charge him a great deal of money to help him.*ak
The rear feul tank is leaking fuel at a very alarming rate. Even as it is empty the front tank will drain into it so not using the rear tank and only using the front will not help the tank leaks 24 hrs a day and is eventually going to cause a fire. I also want to state that the oil pan is a few months away from rusting through and that is another issue I will have to take up with ford.
Oil pan has a hole due to rust, causing oil to leak out. This could cause a vehicle fire.*ak consumer would like help in replacing the oil pan. Consumer believes ford knows this is an ongoing problem.
Noticed oil leak on garage floor after changin oil...went to make sure everything was tight and found the oil pan completely rusted through and 2 quarts had leaked out in 1 week. If we had been driving this at the time of complete oil loss it could have cause a serious accident. It seems we aren't the only ones with this problem. Would really appreciate further investigations in this matter. As we aren't driving this vehicle to prevent further damage to the engine.
Consumer states oil pan is rusted through, dealer and manufacturer contacted.
Hydraulic clutch was becoming increasingly more difficult to press with his foot in order to change gears.

The vehicle had a history of fuel mileage problems, after being service by the dealer several times the vehicle suddenly caught fire while driving, the driver suffered serious 3rd degree burns and other bodily injuries.
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.
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.
Oil pressure gauge and water temperature gauge peg out high or vasilate on intermittent bases. Gauges can sometimes be "tapped down" . Sending units have been changed with no affect. This condition is very distractive and does not protect equipment in case of overheating.
Oil pan has prematurely rusted in only 5 years and within 88,000 miles, possibly due to poor defective manufacturing. Ford manufacturer is not providing assistance even though they are aware of defect.
Transmission will not go into passing gear after 62 MPH. Dealer cannot fix defect. *ak the transmission problem still exists. The idler pulley was worn and noisy.
Vehicle failed to start. Voltage on instrument panel not showing vehicle receiving any voltage. Might be related to interlock switch on clutch. Switch was going bad. The engine stalled & had lost steering power. Been to dealer & informed had no problems before.
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.
