1992 FORD F-150 Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

MY 1992 FORD F-150 CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BURNED FOR 10-30 MINUTES BEFORE THE EXPLODING FRONT TIRE DREW OUR ATTENTION. THE FIRE INSPECTOR TOLD US OTHER F-150 MODELS WERE SUSPECTED OF HAVING A CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH/FIRE PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AT FORD FOR THIS MODEL/YEAR. *NM

THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE PARKED.*JB

OIL PAN IS RUSTING, AND THERE IS OIL LEAKING FROM VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

CONSUMER STATED OIL WAS LEAKING FROM OIL PAN. OIL PAN WAS RUSTING FROM INSIDE OUT. DEALER CONTACTED.*JB

OIL PAN RUST THROUGH . THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK AND TO 3 PEOPLE I KNOW. FORD HAS A PROBLEM. THE PANS SHOULD NEVER RUST THROUGH. I SUSPECT THEY USED TOO THIN A GAUGE OF STEEL IN THEIR DRAW DIE TO SAVE A FEW BUCKS. THIS COST A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR, AND FORD SHOULD REIMBURSE ME AND EVERYONE ELSE WITH RUST THROUGH IN THE OIL PANS. *AK

VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. ALSO, THERE IS A LOT OF JERKING AND JUMPING IN FRONT. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THE OIL PAN ON MY 1992 FORD F-150 RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND HAS BEGUN TO LEAK OIL. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THE REPAIR COST TO BE BETWEEN $300-$400. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM, WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR & ENGINE SIZE (4.9). I AM VERY CONCERNED OF THE COST AND REOCCURRANCE OF THIS PROBLEM! I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF ONE OF THE INTANKS OF OUR (DUAL GAS TANK) FUEL PUMPS. THIS COST ME $385 TO HAVE REPLACED. I BELIEVE I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY PRODUCT! IF THERE IS ANY MEANS OF HAVING THE MANUFACTURER COVER THE REPAIRS OF THIS VEHICLE I WOULD BE GREATFUL FOR THE INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. JAMES WEIGEL. *AK

WHIILE DRIVING CONSUMER NOTICED A TICKING UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN PULLED TO INSPECT THE SOUND CONSUMER NOTICED A HOLE IN THE OIL PAN. *AK

ENGINE OIL PAN GASKET IS PUSHED TOO TIGHTLY ,THEREFORE PUSHING THE OIL OUT OF THE PAN. *AK

AT 30,951 MILES THIS VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE A NEW OIL PAN PUT IN, AND A NEW GAS TANK AS THE OTHER ONE WAS LEAKING WHICH CAN POSE A DANGER ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME JUST BY A SIMPLE CIGARETT TO THE GROUND. I DON'T THINK OIL PANS SHOULD RUST OUT. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD. THEY DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH ME FURTHER CLAIMING MY VEHICLE WAS OLD. IN YEARS MAYBE, BUT NOT IN MILEAGE. THE TRANSMISSION LEAK HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AS IT IS EVIDENT THESE ARE INDEED FAULTY PARTS USED BY FORD. HOW CAN AN OIL PAN RUST OUT? A FUEL TANK RUSTING OUT AT THE SAME TIME? ALSO A TRANSMISSION LEAK? I HAVE SENT LETTERS TO NO AVAIL. THEY JUST SAY IT IS BEING FORWARDED. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. I DON'T...
