Consumer Description

OIL PAN RUSTED OUT. I COMPLAINED 1 OTHER TIME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO THEM AND THEY DENY KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY ARE LIARS. MY DAD IS RETIRED AND IS VACATIONING NEXT TO A RETIRED FORD WORKER. HE HAS TOLD MY DAD THAT FORD DID A COST REDUCTION IDEA ON THE PAINT THAT THEY USE ON OIL PANS ON THE TRUCKS IN THE 96 RANGE. THEY TOOK OUT AN ANTI CHIP COMPOUND THAT WAS USED IN THE PAINT TO SAVE MONEY. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. IT COST ME $500.00 TO GET THE REPAIR FIXED AT FORD. FORD HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND KNOW IS MAKING A SMALL FORTUNE BY CHARGING THE PEOPLE FOR REPAIRS. THIS IS MORALLY WRONG. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I SPOKE TO ONE OF THE VP'S AT FORD IN DEARBORN MICHIGAN. SHE LIED THROUGH HER TEETH. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING CHEATED. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
